Hi

I've been reading on here and there are lots of great info and things.

However I am struggling to decide what to put on my Touch HD.

It is a work one, so don't want to put on too many things, in case i bugger it up.

So far:

updated to .Net 3.5

BSB Tweaks (though not seen any noticeable difference)

Opera 10 (so much better...)

So what apps and games themes (not too crazy as i do use it for business) can I put on to make my iPhone friends jealous (or at least quieten them down a little)

Thanks
[Touch HD General] t3rm3y:
if i were you i would put a new rom on there. find one that doesnt seem to have problems (check the thread for what people are writing) then you shouldnt have any issues with it being a work phone

And geting a little lost

Here

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551489

How do you know what version of Manila you are running and also what ROM?

Could you suggest a good ROM for my Touch HD?
[Touch HD General] alixoft:
How about:

- SpoonTorch (turn your blackstone into a flashlight)

- TomTom 7 (Navigation)

- HTC Addicts Clean RAM (clean up ram and make the phone faster)

- Xtract (3d hardware accelerated game)

- Midomi (let it listen to a song and it shows you what song it is)

- Panoramic moTweets (twitter client)

- Google maps (ofcourse)

- Slide2shutdown

I have just got a phone from eBay, and after a while it comes up with 'no service'. I can use the SIM ok in my nokia, and have also tried with someone else's SIM in the TP2 with the same result 'no service'.

If I hard reset (back to stock Orange) the signal works well for a while (a few hours to a couple of days) before coming up with 'no service'.

It looks like original ROM (with SPL) and radio.

Has anyone else had any similar problems? Is this a hardware issue? I don't really want to flash another ROM/radio if not known solution as I want to give it back to seller and get my money back.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] -Jonny-:
Anybody help or had experience of this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Garrickus:
Might be stolen ?

Have you rung orange to see if they've blocked it by any chance ? :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wilkhaven:
Agreed, check the IMEI number with Orange, chances are it's been blocked for some reason.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] -Jonny-:
Thanks, that was exactly the problem. Phone has been blocked. Orange (surprisingly) have unblocked it and told me not to buy phones from eBay.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Garrickus:
Blimey :eek:

lol 'don't buy phones from Ebay :rolleyes:

Good luck with your new phone dude ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kakiller93:
Know the problem....

I have the same problem, but now i know what its all about. I bought also the phone from a private person and they have probably blocked my phone's IMEI gonna call the phone company or something. But i wonder if they have blocked my phone howcome the phone gets connection with another sim card ( still cant call) I havent been able to call with one of the sim cards, but once I could message with the other sim that i get a connection to.

What did orange said to you man?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] robnil:
Hi

This is prob'ly my last question before I deside to go for this device.

There are some unofficial firmware-updates with different three-letter-namings talked about in here, supposed to improve stuff.

Since they are unofficial...

- Will they in any way ruin the warranty? (root etc)

- Will they ruin the localization? (keyboard-layout, language...)

- other things I should know about?

If not, i guess the smart thing to do is to flash the device right after unboxing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miker71:
With most things "depends".

As long as the phone isn't bricked, I doubt your average shop assistant will refuse a return. The manufacturer warranty may be invalidated if there are obvious mods that makes him check the firmware.

Localisation can be ruined I think, if you install a Asia ROM on a European phone, and vice versa.

JG5 - DO IT! I finally got around to it - whilst it's not perfect - it's definitely a big improvement over my factory shipped JF3. There's a big FAQ, read it, comprehend it, it's difficult to go wrong (I used the 512 .pit file and did repartition).

Beware you lose the official fingerprint of the device so some protected apps don't show up in the Market. However many people (myself included) have successfully applied the Droid Eris Market Fix (search for "Market Fix" in the market once on JG5) and the apps come back after clearing cache and waiting an hour or two.

I also took the precaution of rooting JF3, using TitaniumBackup to backup my apps to apk files, then I knew I could restore them back to JG5 (even if they didn't show up in the Market). Of course, if they don't show up in the Market you also cannot get updates from the Market of your backed-up apps.

HTH
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcharng:
Thanks for the heads up on the JG5. Still couldn't make my self to do it with rumours of froyo updates in less than a couple of months.

I did not try to install it yet, but maybe the cab files are of interest for other cooks.

Installed today; very little improvement in the frustrating slowness of the HTC Messaging service.

If I could work out how the enable the LED for unread SMS I would permanently disable it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] BeeGee_Tokyo:
!Aman!,

extract the .EXE file with 7Z

you will find a some strange files and a folder bin

rename the files 121 and 122 to 121.cab and 122.cab

open the cab files with WinCE CAB manager

Check the files that are inside the cabs and you will find

- several manila files (LUA files, I decomp'ed them and checked what they are for

- contacts.dll, contactutility.dll

- messaging_client.exe

- ...

I got the version numbers with PE Explorer
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] !Aman!:
i did extract with 7Z and WinRAR and both times i didnt get any CAB file inside. r u sure u extracting the correct EXE, it should be TOP_S2_00472.exe?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] BeeGee_Tokyo:
you should see a folder named

_HTC Touch Diamond2_TOP_S2_00472\.rsrc\BIN

Inside this folder are 2 files, named 121 and 122

Rename these files to 121.cab and 122.cab

A little bit tricky :D I know ;)

i dont see any folder inside using both softwares. must be a stupid trick if if it is really.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] -KJ-:
On my Diamond2, memory-usage has been reduced by 10-15% after installing the update. No other improvements.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Neoconair:
That's not quite the problem I was referring to. My problem is that if I disable HTC Messaging and revert to Outlook for SMS/MMS using the Zenyee method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=556614) then the LED no longer blinks nor does MissedCallReminder detect the unread SMS.

I've already adjusted the registry key to allow for variable LED duration and it works with HTC messaging, but not without. Strangely, the other SMS notification settings (pop-up screen, vibrate etc.) work without HTC Messaging, just not the LED.

If you have any suggestions to address this issue then I (and apparently many others who have dispensed with HTC messaging in Sense 2.5) would be most grateful.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] luigug:
I have installed this update two days ago on the official ROM WM 6.5.1. and the only improvement that I have noticed is the display of a notification with a acustic signal when a sms is sent succesfully.

This seems to me quite useful ...

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PMoto:
I try to install this, but the installation didn't get to an end...

Try from Memory Card, and from device too.

I must tap X of Task Manager, and tap HTC Sence in Today to get it to work again.

Strange.

The Messaging is still 1.5.2011.3831 that I have before.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] japester36:
I've installed this over WWE 2.53 Stock HTC and it certainly has improved responsiveness, particularly on long sms threads.

On a thread of 100+ messages I can now type without the focus changing to a previous message (message used to get highlighted black) and also 9 out of 10 spaces seem to be taken when typing much faster than I used to need to.

I did have an issue installing where it hung and I had to kill it with the 'X' but I then shutdown Sense and ran the update. After a short while, I got a dialog box to reset the device and after that I found that the install had helpfully re-enabled Sense. Seems to be an issue for the installer to disable Sense to start with.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
I too have installed the update (and disabled the annoying Sent notification!)

I wonder if anyone can fill the gaps in my knowledge about how WM tries to send SMS. I seem to recall that, annoyingly, previous versions used to give up immediately if there was so connection - but I thought 6.5 tried a few times, and seemed to send messages when reception became available. With this update it feels as though WM has gone back to giving up immediately, requiring a manual intervention to re-send failed messages.

Is this correct, or am I missing something? As reception is patchy, both at home and at work, I really want WM to keep on trying to send!

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PMoto:
Just for the record:

I Install it (tricky - I must disable sence) and now the only difference I noticed is that it no longer cover the new writing text with an old message above.

The sound and notification are gone too with the solution posted above.

So, working well in my Topaz.

Since I've installed the fix, I can no longer sent a 160 characters SMS in Greek. The all arrive as "???? ??? ??? ????".

Folks

Can you help me with my questions below:

1. Can I modify/filter the kind of News (like technology, country specific) that has to appear on my home screen (AP news service) or change the news provider to different like google news?

2. When downloading games from market they straight away appear as icons in the applications section as separate game apps. Instead can I create a folder called 'Games' and move all the game apps into it and create a icon for this folder to look like other apps.

3. Finally, wanted to know where the installation files are stored so that I can clear them - just weary that those files/temp files may build over time (thinking in terms of a PC)

thanks for suggesting

I don't know about question 1, but the others:

2. You can only create folders on a homescreen, not in the application drawer.

3. Don't think you need to worry about this. I expect they either get removed after installation or a cron job will clear them up sooner or later.

2. You can only create folders on a homescreen, not in the application drawer. So how can you organise the games instead of them populating and getting mixed with all the other applicaitons - I still think there must be some way of doing this!

Hi there,

I use an app called "gps sport tracker". The HD2 has damn fast a gps fix to work with. Ok, I wan't to record a track with that tracker and put the hd2 in my backpack. the recorded data is fault caouse the hd2 looses gps signal ......

I do the same with my touch pro 2 and this works alwasy when I put the TP2 in my small backpack.

Has the HD2 a problem with the gps antenna ?

When I hold the device in my hand, it's no problem with gps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
I have no problem with mine logging from my jacket pocket or top pocket on my backpack. Make sure the phone isn't going to sleep - this shuts down the GPS is you haven't set the app to stay awake. I don't use GPS Sport Tacker any more but I'm sure you can set it to stay awake. Also usual stuff - make sure phone is not sheilded by anything metal or magnetic in your pack and no other electronic equipment as this can also affect it.

If GPS ST doesn't have a stay awake function you can search on XDA for KeepAwake (I think) or try GPS Trackah from Marketplace as that's what I use and it definitely does have this feature.

Hope some of this helps!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DJChriZZ:
Ahh ok, I will test some other stuff. I switch my HD2 off while tracking, perhaps he turns off the gps !! yeah that's a solution. On the touch pro 2 (win 6.1) the tracker was working with gps while the device was turning off.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hebbe:
the gps of my hd2 is by far the best gps i've every experienced. i get a fix within seconds, and do receive a signal even in buildings (a few meters away from a window).

so i think it might be point that the device switches off, like dunc001 already said.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DJChriZZ:
yes, the gps fix is so fast on the Leo. Yesterday I checked the "gps sports tracker" again and I start to record the track ... lock the keys and don't switch the Leo off. So it works fine :-) the leo switches off by itself after a short time but gps is working and working :-)

thanx for the help guys
