[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SargeRX8:
Hey all,

Got my HD2 not too long ago after the first one I got was DOA(it wouldn't hold calls).

Anyway I just want to ask for some advice. I'm with Optus prepaid. Ive managed to setup my phone to send MMS and they are properly sending and receiving. The problem is, I cant use the internet. It wont connect. Anyone here got this working with optus?

Secondly, when I put the phone on loudspeaker, the screen wont turn off. The lock button is the hang up button so I cant just hit that. Is it possible to switch the screen off when in loudspeaker?

Will installing a cooked ROM unlock the extra RAM thats in the phone?

My phone software versions are as follows:

OS Version 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

Manila Version 2.5.20121431.1

ROM Version 1.72.841.0(82124) WWE

Radio Version 2.04.51.22_2

If I want to change the ROM, can anyone suggest something which looks close to the original but has better performance(speed, battery wise) and does not have stability issues? I really want to ensure I do everything right and not brick my phone. I read something about installing wrong radios can brick the phone.

Does anyone know where I can dl this version of the Telstra ROM? Ive got the 1.49 one.

Currently wanting to install this. Energy.Leo.23673.Sense2.5.Cookie.DinikGlass.Jul.24

Would this ROM give any issues with my phone? Is it just a matter of install and away I go or will I be required to punch in a whole bunch of settings.

This is a messy post but any info would help greatly.

Thanks guys!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
once you flash a custom rom, chances are it will contain teh standard connectionsetup which will find teh correct settings anyway.

try doublefinger tapping (two fingers, single tap, turns off, then i use home key to bring screen back on) on the callers image, this works for some roms, probably more likely to work once you change roms.

yes, assuming the rom is based on a tmous core, and you flash a matching radio.(which the rom would require anyway, its a two part process, a 576 enabled rom and a x.xx.50.x radio)

not your phone, tmous (t mobile US) phones only need to worry about that.

google knows, dozens of posts on here know :)

Alright I got my hands on the same rom Ive got on my phone incase I break anything.

I just need a 1.42.000 spl thingy. Which rom do I need?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
not sure what you mean, , , the rom you just found will include 1.42.0000

spl is part of all official roms, its not something you can download on its own. Only in official roms, or by using hspl.

Turn off the touchpad lights while using the clock in nightmode?

One of my biggest issues with going to a nonsense Rom(cm6nightly) was the fact that it didn't sync well with Facebook contact profiles. (at least I didn't see or I'm doing something wrong)

But nonetheless, I found an awesome app called "syncmypix".

Check it out. It works great.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DSwarP:
Heh? Mine synced everything just fine. It even paired facebook contacts with google contacts. What rom are you running?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Raadius:
Sync my pic didn't work for me, it actually caused my phone problems.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] locutis78:
I am running Nightly 29 and I am also having a problem with facebook sync. It syncs, but then facebook craps out and I have to uninstall and reinstall to get the pics back. They don't last long though.

I need to search for a new solution...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Check out the hacked Facebook.apk topic. Searching is fun!

-------------
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Skitzi:
That hacked .apk doesn't sync facebook contact pics though does it? I thought it only synced contact info, which no you do not need syncmypix for. I am using the app with CM6 RC1 at the moment and it has worked great for me. Now of course we have Sense on 2.2 so this may no longer be needed unless you run AOSP like CM6.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] anmaymap:
The hacked facebook sync or rather allow you to use facebook pix just fine. Although you have to do a little work like manually pick the pics when edit the contact info.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicholasRoge:
Since the update to Froyo is coming out in a few days, do you expect that we'll see a fully working ROM shortly?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
Exactly. I hope that this will improve Cyanogen's rom. Other than that all new roms will be based off of the new Froyo release, and as such they will work perfectly.

Are all 5 of your posts this condescending or is it just that time of the month for you??? The OP was just trying to get some active dialog going, regarding the upcoming release. Which is more than anyone can say for you. Let the mods do their job, as they are far more qualified than you. And if you're going to insist on playing moderator, try to be less of a D:CKHE@D when doing so.

Hello Iam a bit curious about remapping hw buttons on my X10, troubl no 1 is that start screen button s powering on the screen and in my pocket it almost always is on ending with ery hig power consumption.My second trouble is also in my jeans pocket, I accindentaly rejects alot of calls before i have my phone in my hand. Is there any solutions for this in my Win mobile hre was a setting for only letting power button enable screen.

Tnx For reading
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] drobec208:
I'm also curious about this. As my camera button is not launching camera app. (but it shoots when I launch app via icon).

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xGary:
Did you try pushing the button harder and holding the button?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] drobec208:
my fault... I did press it harder but evidently not long enought.. :)

thank you
[Vibrant General] hurrpancakes:
While cleaning up my contact list from transitioning from my old blackberry, I was trying to add contacts to specific groups (family, friends, work, etc). However, when in the contacts app, I click on groups at the top, click on a group, then tap Add Member, which takes me to a blank screen that says No contacts.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Going to gmail and editing my contacts' groups on my computer doesn't change it on my phone.
[Vibrant General] ELFungi:
Yep. I have the same problem and so do a lot of other people from what I've heard. Haven't found a way to fix this yet. The only workaround I've found is add a new contact to your phone with the same name and link it with your existing contact.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
There are two ways to fix this. One is to create at least 1 "dummy" contact for each category. THEN you can manually move contacts to categories correctly, though this is very tedious...

Or, you can use an app. Look for GROUPY in the market. This will allow you to reassign all contacts to the groups you desire.
[Vibrant General] hurrpancakes:
I think found out the issue. You can't put the contacts that are from your google account into groups, they have to be contacts stored on the phone. This is just stupid, and I can't find a way to copy all of my contacts to the phone.

I tried out Groupy as you suggested, masterotaku, and it doesn't seem to do what I'm looking for.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
I was able to move all my google (and facebook, and twitter, and phone stored) contacts to categories with Groupy, so I guess I don't understand what you mean...

What this app appears to be doing is creating phone stored contacts that link to the existing sync accounts (google, facebook, myspace, twitter in my case). I've been able to categorize all of these contacts seamlessly with Groupy. Took me a couple of minutes to un-mess the whole affair.
[Vibrant General] hurrpancakes:
Groupy puts your contacts into a folder on your home screen. What I'm looking for is a way to get my contacts (all of which are either from my google account or facebook account) into groups inside the Contacts app on the Vibrant, which you can see on the pic I attached I took of the groups screen in the app itself. It appears you can only do that using contacts that are stored on the phone itself.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
And I'm telling you that this app does precisely that.....All of my contacts are in the Contacts app's categories. I've since removed Twitter and Myspace contacts from the contact sync because it was entirely too many lol.

Groupy creates phone stored contacts and links them to their existing sync groups...notice the contact in the second snapshot..it's linked to the google and facebook sync's. Groupy does this....

I'm thinking you've downloaded some other app. search for "com.kigate.groupy" This app has NOTHING to do with putting contacts in a folder on the home screen.
[Vibrant General] hurrpancakes:
I see why I didn't notice. I searched for Groupy, and downloaded Groupie. lol

Thanks a bunch, GROUPY is doing exactly what you said.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Hey guys,

Here's the scenario: I'm driving along. My Desire is in the car holder performing GPS duties. The Keepscreen app is keeping the display alive. All is good in the world. Then, I get a call. I answer it on my bluetooth headset. It's my agent telling me the UK and US leaders would like my opinion. Same as always. :cool: :D

Now here's the problem. When I hang up, I'm taken back to my lock screen, not the maps that I want to go back to.

Is there any way to automatically get back to the maps (without having to go through the faff of turning off the security lock screen every time I want to use the GPS then turning it back on when I finished)?
[Desire General] snudel:
dont use keepscreen smu.

google leaves the screen on anyway.

i bet your app is bringing you back to the lockscreen after call since i never had such experience...

i dont have this problem.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Does it? I got KeepScreen because my Google Maps didn't stay on. I can't test it right now because my phone is in for repairs, but this is interesting. I was pretty sure Google Maps didn't have this feature.
[Desire General] doinbox:
No. Google maps does not keep the screen on. Google navigation does though.
[Desire General] samy.3660:
where can i find google navigation software??
[Desire General] simonthor:
It comes free with google maps.

Don't know what countries it supports though.
[Desire General] BoSib:
GB is supported by the Nav app afaik, otherwise search for maps.brut14.apk in here! :)
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
There's an option in the settings to keep the screen on when plugged into a power source.
[Desire General] supasye:
use tasker app so that when in car dock and the call is ended google maps opens.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
How do I do this? Because though it is a car dock, the phone has no way of knowing as it's simply in a holder with a charging cable that goes into the cigarette lighter charging port.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
True. But this is a bit of a bodge and more for developers. One of the things is that I don't want to spend my time going in to settings and changing settings everytime I want to use it as a gps, and then have to change it back when I come out of my car. I wouldn't want this feature on constantly as it would excessively wear out the screen since I'm charging the phone outside the car much more than inside the car.
[Desire General] couplands:
You could use Settings Profile app to change the settings based on the conditions in the car.

I use this to detect that I'm not at home, not at work, and plugged into a USB charger, so must be in the car.

I can then set the screen always on, start the Car Dock app etc...

Works well for me.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Good idea.

Though one thing has just come up. People are getting Froyo now, which has a car mode built in. Anyone have any experience with it? I'm still hoping to get my phone back by tuesday so can't check it out. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] twitch351:
Hey everybody, I just recently bought a T-mobile touch pro 2 and I have to say, I love it.

Now, I switched ROM's and I did really enjoy it but I was receiving alot of issuse so I switched back and don't plan on changing again. But what I don't like is how every time I turn it on I get an annoying "Stick together" screen staring me in the face because of the t-mobile wm 6.5 stock rom. :mad:

Does anyone have any suggestion of what I could do to replace that with something alittle more stylish than a big pink square? haha

Oh, before I forget, I also uploaded Wajk's BootPackage v1.4 and I love it, but when it gets passed the diagnosis of the phone shouldn't it show the windows 7 boot? I'm just getting the standard Orange Microsoft one for WM 6.5. I was planning on doing a reg hack, but I didn't want to screw anything up. If anyone had any ideas on how to change these two settings I would greatly appreciate it. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
All I did to get rid of my "Stick Together" boot screen and turn it into a black "Touch Pro2" screen was flash a WWE stock ROM. These stock ROMs replace boot screens and radio-roms.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] twitch351:
See I did that before and I was getting services.exe errors, I don't really wanna replace the ROM I just want to get rid of the stock ROM, I just want to replace the boot screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
All I did was flash the WWE stock ROM then flash a custom ROM. You don't need to stay on a stock ROM.

That is confusing! You don't want to replace the stock ROM, yet you want to get rid of it?:confused:

If you want a custom bootscreen (like what I have on both of my devices), here's my tutorial.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] twitch351:
Thank you very much for that link! :) It was extremely helpful! I haven't tried anything out yet but I'm sure it will work. Thank you again, this will be a great birthday gift to me haha

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
I think the OP is talking about the first and second level splash screens (right at boot and the "R G D" info screen).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] twitch351:
No, the OP is referring to the Startup animation and the shutdown animation. That does solve one problem, but it still doesn's remove the beginning huge pink "Stick Together" square. I don't know where that would be located in registry but the other two images (Startup.gif and shutdown.gif) are located there. :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] twitch351:
Yeah...haha I realized that I meant to say that I wanted to remove the stock rom boot image, I apologize for the confusion, I actually read it myself and I got confused! haha :o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] twitch351:
Whoops haha I didn't realize that I was the OP hahaha! XD Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Sorry, again, it's kinda late here and I know my mind doesn't usually think well too late haha
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] twitch351:
Does anyone know how to do it without HardSPL? I actually used it before and I don't really have the money to pay fod another use, seeing as I have no job haha
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
You mean you already used the stock SPL restore? If you did, I don't know how to get around it...

You need HSPL to flash the custom splash screens because they're unofficial/unsigned.:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] twitch351:
When I went into this tutorial and tried to open the "Flasing tools" It worked fine, but when I tried to execute the custom ROM that was in there, my virus protection said it was infected with a trojan virus. Any idea why it won't work for me? :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
Are you talking about the "Rhodium RUU"? If so, that's a common issue with anti-virus software. I have to temporarily disable by McAfee security, unzip the file, obtain the RUU, and flash. Once I re-enable my anti-virus software, it detects the RUU as a trojan. So, you will have to either make an exception, or you will have to temporarily disable your anti-virus software.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] twitch351:
Here is the "Touch Pro 2".nbh file I came upon :) If you could make the second one I would greatly appreciate it. By the way, do you know how you turn on the phone and after the boot the big orange screen pops up and says "Windows" do you happen to know how to replace that as well?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] scooper:
That's welcomehead.192.png in the SYS. Search and replace.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
Here you go!:)

For the orange "Windows" screen, I have a question: is it animated, or is it just a solid image?

If it's animated

, I can PM you a .cab that can change it to the Windows 7 startup screen; otherwise, you can replace those with .gif files.

If it's a solid image

, you'll have to replace either the "welcomehead.png" or the "welcomehead.192.png" (I think the name depends on whether or not you're on a stock/custom ROM) in your phone's \Windows folder.

I remember there being a setting in Advanced Configuration Tool that lets you change these two, but I'm not sure.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] twitch351:
Thank you very much for the files! :D I'll try and scrape up some money to use the HSPL, I figured out how to remove the orange "windows" screen, oddly enough I had both the welcomehead.png and welcomehead.192.png in my windows folder, I just used total commander and switched the image with another one of my choice, thanks for the help guys :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ultramag69:
Hard SPL should let you re-install it if its for the same IMEI number, had the same problem and it let me re-install onto the same handset. Only problem is if you have a new IMEI. Also you will be charged if you use the same IP address to re-install it. If you change the service provided IP then no problem... Or use a mates PC if they don't mind.... :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] twitch351:
Yeah, that's the problem, I do have a new IMEI because my older phone got damaged so I returned it and got a new one, but do you think it's possible if I download Hard-SPL off of my phone and then execute it off of my computer? Or do you think I could just disconnect my Ethernet cable so the program can't detect if it's already been used or not? I mean, it could be possible yes? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
Twitch, I replied to you via PM. I said that the HSPL connects to the internet, so if you use your computer to run it, and you still have the same internet service, you will still have to purchase the HSPL.

I just got an idea. If you have a laptop or something, and you can access a Wi-Fi router, you can run HSPL from there -- the IP address is different, so the HSPL thinks it's the first time you're doing HSPL.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] :

[Droid Eris General] toddsts:
The fix doesn't really work in my experience. The softkeys light up at weird intervals post fix and never when its actually useful. But if you want to try it download the zip file from the FAQ page and put it in the root of your SD card. Then boot to recovery and flash it. I ended up flashing the fix for the fix though cause it got annoying.

Good luck.
