Just one quick question, is there a way to remove IE from the phone altogether? cause as you know, X2 is not really great on available memory.

Got an email with an address in it. Want to copy / paste that address into a new appointment in the calendar. So after banging my head trying to get it to work, I give up. Here's what I tried:

Built in email client (not gmail)

1. long press on address....nothing

2. menu button...nothing

3. forwarded message (to put in edit mode)...long press on address...nothing

4. tap on address finds address in google maps (which by the way it doesn't do while reading the email...)

5. now we try all sorts of convulsive activities in maps...still no go

Moving on to K9

Same sequence of steps slightly different results...but still a BIG FAT FAIL.

One would think after all the flack that apple took for copy / paste that this incredibly simple task I want to accomplish wouldn't be so brain damaging hard.

Please someone save me from the pain and agony.

When I receive a mail in GMail, a long press on the address in read mode brings up a context menu with the choices (Map, Copy). I choose Copy. I then switch to calender, tap to create and in the Location I long press and it gives me a context menu with choices (Paste, Input method). I choose Paste and voila, the address is in the Location.

Your correct, after setting up an IMAP account using the other mail client, the long press does not work to copy. Only the "Complete action using: AT&T Maps, AT&T Navigator and Maps". Seems like long press is there, but it is not mapped to anything.

I should ahve stated that in my first message that it works in gmail client. However that's not so good if you have multiple other accounts that dont funnel through gmail.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I'm having the same problem. I think I'll start shopping around for an alternative email client soon.
[Captivate General] razzack:
has there been any headway on this?

I have the same problem with my new infuse. I never realized how much I used copy and paste on my tilt 2 until I couldn't do it anymore. But thanks for saving me the trouble of trying to download K9 to fix it!
[Captivate General] daveshih:
Just tested. You can do two things:

1. Click on the address to add to your contacts, or

2. Open the email, then forward, then select existing recipient, then address will be in address field and then you can copy.

I bought a new T-mobile hd2 last week and tried to load a chinese font package (Yahei) to display chinese characters. However, after installing it and restart the phone my htc sense cannot be loaded at all. I tried to hard rest 1-2 times but does not work out. BTW, all the htc software functions like calendar, people, ring setting cannot be load either.

Am I doing anything wrong with the phone, or I need to unlock/tweak the hd2 before installing any softwares.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djpleasure:
can anyone advise of the best method to enable installing apps to sd card as opposed to phone memory.

I have done some reading up, from what I can make out, my 2.2 is not rooted, apps need to have the option written into programming to enable where an app is stored, hence why the "move to sd" is greyed out.

I have read but not fully understood some apparent fixes, using sdk tools and apps2sd, but seen some errors reported, apps not working, unable to use marketplace etc. A mine field for those not in the know.

Last thing I want to do is mess things up, hence why I am asking you guys for help.

I am happy with most things on the Nexus, but as I am now out of phone memory, need to address this issue quickly. I have added a 16gb sd. Any help greatly appreciated.

Additionally, is it possible to use google based navigation systems offline and by gps? and when using third party gps, is it possible to use my external bluetooth gps receiver rather than the phone one? if so, how is this acheived please.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Root your phone, and learn how to use the Froyo apps2sd command.

No, Google Maps downloads the maps frame by frame -- read needs internet connection. (look into 3rd party applications if you don't have a data plan)

No, you have to use the phones GPS.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djpleasure:
apps2sd, does that not have issues? I read there are issues with some apps not working, and also not being able to use marketplace
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rocheau:
Currently I have the desire V5 in my Storage Card and at the moment, is the only ROM I have to run Android.

As long as I have used Android, and I have downloaded app from the Market it has started to create new folders in my Storage Card.

So, now I have a lot of folders, some appl creates its own, like .aptoide or .dataviz. Also I have other folders in the root such as shared_prefs or sqlite_smts_journals or sys.

When I have seen that some ROMS could be installed in an specif folder instead of the root - like the Desire V5- of my Storage Card, I wondered if is there any possibility of installing another ROM, and have the opportunity of launch one or the other depending of my preferences.

Have any of you tried to install two or more roms in the Storage Card? Can they live together w/o problems?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malias4:
Ηi there friend, i have in my storage card 2 roms.. One is the froyo 2.2 from darkstone and the other is the desire v5..

I dont see any problems till now, but when i want to change from one built to another i always soft reset 2 times and then i do it ... Dont think it really matters though :D

The thing is if u have a froyo rom u just copy the whole folder thats called ;android; in the scard, so i have the froyo rom in the android folder and the desire rom just free in the card...

:p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] devilman:
yes, you can

as malias said, you can have eclair and froyo together, this is because Froyo uses the dir Android.

Having this in mind, i renamed Android to Android1, and it seems to work.

so, in theory, you can make as many folders as you want, with different distros, and launch Haret inside these folders to have the distro downloaded there booted.

I am not sure if the different loadings leave settings "readed" by the others, we have to try ( i will do and let you know)

No. There's no need to run the 2.1 RUU. Most of the 2.1 ROMS that are on xda were based off of the official release.
[Hero CDMA General] gidkid:
There are a few benefits to 2.1. You can check the Blue Echo thread, where I'm sure they'll list a few perks specific to that ROM, or check here. Add in the apps in the market that work only with 2.1 or higher, and the extra multitouch capabilities, and the slightly better version of Sense, and it's too good to pass up!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkkoushirou:
Hi!

Ok, so I just wanted a nice eMail client för my HD2. Outlook and the email tab are just crap to really use it. I've searched all over XDA and the web to find alternatives. In the end there were three apps... QMail, FlexMail and ProfiMail. I first tried QMail cos it's free but got dissapointed. It did not have all the functions I needed and was not easy to use with a capacitive screen. Then I found many threads in different communities (including XDA) about which one is better, FlexMail or ProfiMail. And in EVERY thread FlexMail was the glorious winner of the debate. So I tried FlexMail, and it really was a nice mail client with good usability and stuff... But it ****ed up my mail attachments and therefor it became useless for me. Ok... only one App to go, the all-hated ProfiMail... I installed it and... was surprised. You actually CAN use it without stylus! It's also fast, slim and has everything I want from a real email client. Let me give you some Images...

This is the basic layout. Ok it's not really an eyecandy, but if you like cool animations... Well... Use the email tab...

As you can see the menu is big enough to use it with the fingertip. I can even use my thumbs to exactly hit the entries.

This is the Inbox of my mailaccount (you can have multiple ones of course, but I just need one). You have a small text-only preview of the currently selected mail at the bottom. And if you look closely at the bottom, you see why it's not officially marked as "fingerfriendly"... The small buttons. It would be hard to hit then even with a stylus! But no problem... All of this functions are available through the menu easily. So this is not really an issue.

Ok, here is my testmail in full view I wrote for you.

On the bottom you can see the attachment. You can choose three Options from the menu: View (opens the attachment with the build in viewer) View with System (opens the attachment with the system default application) and Save (opens the built-in explorer to save the attachment).

This is the built-in viewer. It's ok for preview purposes but I recommend the "System default" view.

This is the built-in file explorer (needed when saving attachments). It's the only part of ProfiMail where you are definately lost without a stylus. Ok, not completely... You still can hit the folders correctly with your fingertips but it's not that comfortable as the rest of the program.

And last but not least the options menu. You can easiely select the different points with your fingers. AND you can at least customize the program colors. I used a "Old KDE" like style.:rolleyes:

Well, here is the feature list from the developer:

One flaw of ProfiMail is, that it is not free. It's not really cheap either... You can get the newest version (multilanguage) for $27.99 :eek:

But you can download a free 30-day trial from the developer Lonely Cat Games.

I hope this review helps some people. I don't have much programming skills to contribute to xda-devs so I'll give you this. :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Obelix_A:
thanks for your review. I am still searching for an alternative client for my HD2. I was just a little far from writing my own, because I cannot find a useable one.

I will give it a try. Hopefully it can get emails. The original PocketOutlook cannot fetch my emails from GMX, so I cannot get/write emails from my phone...

cheers

Obelix
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] weenween:
I had used Flexmail for many years, never had any problem with attachments at all. Till date it is the best email client that I've used.

I tried ProfiMail as you suggested, just for comparison. It is good but I like Flexmail better.

Oh! I use Flexmail on a HD2 using finger without stylus.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkkoushirou:
As many programs, there is no "best" mail program for the HD2. But there is one mail program that fits one best. For me its ProfiMail, for you it's Flexmail. I don't think either that my attachment problem was the fault of the HD2, but i couldn't figure out a solution, so I searched for alternatives.

And you're right, Flexmail is better to use with fingers. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
Yahoo problem

I can't seem to configure the Yahoo to receive and send email in Profimail and Flexmail. I'm trying them both to see which is better. I don't have this problem when I use HTC Messaging. It might be how I configure it. Would you be able to give me the right configurations for both? Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkkoushirou:

1. Did you enter the POP3 and SMTP server correctly?

2. If yahoo requires SMTP authentication, did you set that option?

What kind of error message did you get?

Hey anyone already opened up their HD2? I need to open mine since my back button got stuck while my baby girl tried to press too hard on it. Now the back button feels like it's not presing at all compared to the other buttons.

i also have a spare housing that I am thinking of putting in.

Anyone can point me to the right direction?

Thanks
[HD2 General] theabsurdman:
i've had the back off mine.

first search youtube for leo disassembly and you'll find an htc disassembly video: "leo Ds" (and another "leo As" for reassembly). they are somewhat daunting, but do not despair!

mine came back from a htc warranty service with a fingerprint on the inside of the lens glass and i couldn't be bothered sending it back again for cleaning so i did it myself. cracking the case isn't all that easy, or wasn't for me.

after you remove the 4 screws (get the void sticker and moisture indicator out with a pin), you still have to unclip the back from the chassis. WHY do electronics manufacturers design them like that??! in the video the tech uses a plastic hooked tool which i do not possess so i had to rely on my fingernails -- which i nearly pulled out! i tried for a good 15 minutes before it finally separated (with me sweating all the way that i was going to damage the LCD with the force i was having to apply). but it all finished happily in the end.

good luck with yours!
[HD2 General] dsx2b:
Not sure if it's worth it.

1st things 1st, watch the video on youtube..

.

Assuming u broke the keypad (just like me, but mine is right in the middle) at about the 6th minute of the disassembly video, they'll show u where u'd be replacing the keypad.

Removing the 'lcm and follow the indicator' isnt as simple as it look. you'd find the glue to be really tough. Putting it in an oven, sure, it'd be hot to the touch, and let it cool down a bit it'd be hard again. Hairdryer? Still too hot. Gloves?u'll lose touch sesitivity. So what i did was use a small blade/box cutter and cut which ever visible glue... and assembling, i had to replace all the double sided tape with some cheap ones...weak ones. Could be a good thing.. or a bad thing. Good, cos i know i dont have to wrestle with some really tough glue..in case i ruined my lcd again.... bad.. cos its..not that secure, i rmember that i nearly ripped it open unintentionally!

Neway replacing my digitizer+lcd took about 3 hours...had a couple of breaks, and spent 15 mins looking for the proximity sensor or was it the ambient light sense 'lense'..very tiny things those things are. So be careful...cos i eventually lost it..grrr

Anyway, Best of luck.. .now to find a replacement keypad that cost less than 5usd..hehe
[HD2 General] theabsurdman:
a good tip here is to work with the phone in a large tupperware box so that if something drops out it can't go anywhere.

note to the OP: i've read several posts where people damaged the ribbon cable connecting the bottom buttons to the mainboard so be careful. it looks very delicate.
[HD2 General] WestOz:
Having just opened mine up several times recently I can offer a couple of tips.

1. Unscrew the four screws - they are T5 torx size.

2. Use thin stiff plastic pieces (I found the plastic case that nails are sold in to be the right stiffness and thickness). Cut some up and push them between the case and the phone works so that they hold each of the locking tabs out in turn. I used five or six bits to do this. Three on the vol control side, two at the top and one on the top area of the other side.

3. Then pushing out at the top where the battery would sit while prying with finger nails outward on the long vol control side you can work each of the locking tabs out so the plastic bits hold them unlocked. Do this along that side, across the top and down the other side working each one a little bit as you go and repeat.

4. This should allow the top edge to come out allowing you to lift is out and "up" so that the button end slides out.

This worked very well for me..several times.

The display is held to the electronics portion by double sided tape and yes it is very strong. But you can soften the adhesion significantly using a heat gun. But you must be careful to heat the whole area to avoid thermal differences cracking the screen. The heat will loosen the tapes grip allowing you to pry the screen away from the electronics side.

Note that the screen is made up of the LCD covered by the glued on digitizer and they are connected with a single ribbon cable on the lower right hand side (I think from memory). This means the screen has to lift off with a hinge action. Lifting along the opposite long edge to the ribbon cable, rather than lift from the top or bottom.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I tried to open mine and followeed the video, be careful as the video makes it look much easier than what it really is, I ended up ruining my device, just take your time and do it slowly.
[HD2 General] bangsters:
Thanks guys! Gonna try it over the weekend. Worst case is that I break my case or put some cosmetic damage. I have a spare case though hehe.

The problem about the key is the back button feels stuck.... the other buttons are snappy and have a tactile sort of feel, where as the back button doesn't have the same feel. looks like it was pressed to hard and never popped back up...

just annoying when i've been very careful with the phone.
[HD2 General] bangsters:
ok looks like i wouldn't have to open my phone.... i tried to but then there's a warranty void sticker, so I just called tmobile and explained about the back key being stuck.... and they're sending me a replacement. :)

i'm gonna lose my invisible shield full body though... but better than risking breaking my phone....

Damage Control 3.2.3 comes with Sense, but through DConfig you can ban Sense, and have a Vanilla ROM that way. That is what I have been using since I got the phone. I think Bugless Beast 0.4 is vanilla also, and I have heard good things about it. Best bet is to try each of them out and see which one you like better.

As long as you don't mind going to 2.2, Cyanogen mod is an incredible AOSP ROM.The release candidate is feature complete, excepting a few moderately significant things, like 4G, HDMI, and Facebook contacts support.

Hi all, I'm new to android, this is my first device.

I have noticed that some of the preinstalled apps - such as Layar and voice search - do appear in the android market but are marked as "uninstalled". Other apps on the other hand, such as google maps, appear normally as "installed" and can be updated as usual by visiting the downloads section in the market.

That said, my question is how do you update those apps that don't appear as "installed"?

Tried re-downloading layar from the market but it didn't replace the original layar app that came with the phone - it created a duplicate instead ! :confused::confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:
my guess is that it is 'leaked' on purpose, its a win win for samsung because they get us tech loving people to complain about what is not working, and they get free feedback to fix up before officially releasing it to the public.

Is that everyone's consensus?

Any theories? Being new to android is this common practice for other companies?

Please if you can shed some light everyone wants to know.

When I first saw the samsung firmwares site I was convinced it looked dodgey as... until claims that it had software that worked.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] balenax:
i totally agree with that. i counted 19 firmwares on the site since may. too many unreleased versions that appear to be genuine made by samsung to be just a hoax.
