[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neurokrem:
Hi,im new to this forum and first i would like to apologize if i posted in a wrong place.

Please delete or move this thread to an appropriate place if needed.

Last night i managed to install HTC Desire Android 2.2 on my HD2 and it works perfect!

Unfortunately its working strictly from the SD card so its a bit sluggish.

Is there some way to install Android 2.2 on HD2 main memory and delete Windows Mobile for good?

Thank you!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neurokrem:
Did i do something to offend you?

Im new to changing roms and i dont know if it is possible to delete Win Mobile and replace it with Android.

And if it is possible please direct me to correct stable rom.

Again thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisd1a1:
at the moment the answer is no i'm afraid. people are working on getting droid running from the phone but don't expect a replacement any time soon.

i'd advise you search as there is plenty of info about this

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_scotsman:
As Chris said above, it's not possible yet. The devs are hard at work on this as we speak and hopefully it won't be long.

P.S. if you have any more questions on Android on the HD2, please post in the HD2 Android General forum :)

And welcome to xda :D

There's no need for that kind of language...it's not tolerated in this forum. While it may be frustrating seeing the same posts over and over, it would be a little more helpful if you were to help the OP and guide him to where he should be looking.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neurokrem:
Thank you for answering this.

Im sure its pretty hard to redesign OS like Android to work on device that is not intended to run it.

The guys at XDA are doing a great job!

I apologize for opening another thread about Android.

Is there some news about WinMobile 7?

I heard that MS officially dropped support for HD2.

Will there be custom ROMs based on Win7 for HD2?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesweeney:
Man... after whats already been said above - do you really think this is the right place to be asking about WinPhone 7??? :eek:

[Android Apps and Games] Danidemi:
Goodmorning all,

I dont know if any of you take daily madication but i do for a short time now. I'm looking for a free app that helps reminding me

to take my medication cause sometimes i forget! And when i forget i get a bit sick.

The app that i'm looking for could make several alarm with my own sound to remind me to take them.

I tryed Medication reminder but the app does not do alarms or i cant get it working properly.

Hope someone could help me with this or write a simple app for me?

Thank you in advance for helping me with this.

Regards Dademira
[Android Apps and Games] NexuSix:
Try ColorNote, you can set different alarm times for each time you need to take your meds.
[Android Apps and Games] Danidemi:
Thank you i will try this one.

Hi Danidemi,

I face a similar problem as have a seriously messed up back and currently on very high doses of OxyContin so if i forget to take my meds my pain levels spike even higher and if i double take my meds that's also not good.

The solution i am using to this is using Gentle Alarm that allows me to set as many alarms as i need and then enter in my calender each time i actually take my meds which works for me. Gentle Alarm isn't free but wasn't expensive either and is a great alarm app IMO.

[Android Apps and Games] K4P1:
Hi!

I use normal alarm clock with my own speaking as alarm sound.

I have three alarms per day (cancer medication).

It works perfectly.

With tone picker I can add any sound file to alarm.
[Android Apps and Games] Danidemi:
I'm going for the Gentle alarm it is really good but the profiles are a bit unusual. Look good simple and most of all it works.

Thnx All.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] droctii:
Ok, so I went into the T-Mo store over the weekend and played around with a Vibrant and noticed the MobiTV app (kind of cool). So, I asked the rep if there was a version for the Slide and he said negative.

So, I came home and did some research on it and found a thread over at the Nexus One section in which some had successfully ripped the MobiTV apk from other devices.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780252

I downloaded and installed the following apk provided there:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=398968&d=1284173705

I was surprised that on my first try it got pass the MobiTV icon and to the EULA. But, because it's not made for our screen size I could not see (therefore click) "Agree" or whatever you have to press to move on.

Unfortunately, subsequent tries to get it running resulted in black screens, unless I reboot or uninstall/re-install it, in which case it repeat the process.

I have no programming abilities, so perhaps some knowledgeable and enterprising Slide user could take a look into whether this could work on our device.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] pReTTyUnG1:
I got it to work but you can tell its not for the slide screen..wen u get to the screen that u have to press agree just hit the touch track pad and it shud take u to the mobi home screen.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] bmfc187:
Have you guys tried this with the pixel density changer?

[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] droctii:
Actually no. Any links/suggestions on where I can find that apk? Or do you want to try it and report back?
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] bmfc187:
If I'm not mistaken its on the market.

[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] droctii:
Ok so I tried the LCD Density changer and it's still not resizing the mobitv app
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] Tzatlacael:
I tried LCDDensity for Root, a free app from the Market.

It showed that my phone had 160, I tried to adjust it to 140 and it only froze my phone, had to pull battery out and turn on back. Everything was fine. I read a comment that like our MyTouch Slide, has it's resolution set to its best by default...

apps like that were designed for big screen phones...

Please help me get all the setting that I need to ensure that my Galaxy S can access GPRS/3G and MMS. Sun Shop and their hotline do not have any idea on how to set up this phone (so far):

Here are the things I need:

Name

APN

Proxy

Port

Username

Password

Server

MMSC

MMS Proxy

MCC

MNC

Authentication Type

APN Type

Hope someone is kind enough to provide me the info I need to make this work! Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkMyk:
Hi Kabayan.. I suppose you too are from Philippines..

Not everyone here in xda-devs knows mobile companies from our country namely Globe, Smart & Sun Cellular.

have you tried texting ACTIVATE to 2300 and SETTINGS to 2300?

or.. check this page: http://www.suncellular.com.ph/ecs_configure.php

Samsung Galaxy is not listed, just try to get the settings from other phones like Sony Ericsson P990i. The instructions are not the same, but you can use it as reference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
RE:

Hi Kababayan!

Unfortunately, I'm running out of options. I did all the settings I can find via the Sun website plus through the hotline to no avail.

Question: Is it possible that the GPRS is blocked to a certain carrier? I bought mine through Globe and just had it unlocked by myself via the app found in this site.

Is there anything I should place under "Server"? How about if I combine all the settings? APN Type can be placed as "Internet + MMS"...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
hi.

i'm not in the Philippines anymore, but I've dealt with trying to get Sun to work on a non-Sun phone. I also have a Bell phone unlocked to a Rogers network here in Canada.

try these settings for Sun:

name: sun internet

apn: minternet

authentication type: none

apn type: internet

leave everything else blank/as is.

tell me if it works. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
RE:

Thanks for all the suggestions! Unfortunately, it still is not giving me a 3G connection (and icon on top of the screen). I can make calls and send SMS without any issues.

I tried the Sun Internet APN set up above.

I also see this message "Mobile Network State Disconnected"

Weird is that when I place my Globe simcard, it detects the 3G immediately. Is there a way for Globe to lock the 3Gsignal of this phone even if I already unlocked it?? Strange indeed..

:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkMyk:
I'm not sure about this but last time I checked, Sun Cellular Call & Text SIMs does not have 3G, only GPRS.. Their 3G is only for their Wireless Broadband..

Tried that with my Sony Ericssion Xperia X1 + Postpaid Sim, I don't get any 3G signals only GPRS. When I tried to manually set the 3G signal using the manual network selection, I receive a "Not Registered" message. this was just last March 2010

Some questions:

1) Are you using a Pre-Paid or Post Paid call&text sim?

2) In case Pre-paid, may load ka ba? hehe :p

3) Have you tried your Sun Sim with other 3G phones, and got a 3G signal and can browse the internet?

Try a Smart SIM, I'm sure they have 3G.

Another theory is, maybe Globe did some settings with your SGS so that it can only be used for their network, since SGS is sold exclusively by Globe. Just like iPhones, if you bring iPhones from other countries, you won't be able to Globe's 3G, you'll have to ask them to configure the phone for you..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
Thanks again for the response!

1. I am using a postpaid line. I also own a N97 and when my Sun sim is there, it does give me the 3G logo on the upper part of the screen.

2. Hahaha.. this really made me laugh like a madman for a few secs :D

3. Yeah I think Globe made some restriction that even unlocking the phone for other networks will block 3G. But something is still lingering in my mind:

If they did do some block, why didn't they block it entirely I can still call and text as usual... Hmmmm...

I guess I'll go get a globe postpaid line for this na lang.

Last Question for you:

I tried the phone with a prepaid sim and also enrolled with Globe's 5 day unlimited mobile internet promo.

I can access the internet using 3G but I cannot seem to access GMAIL and Android Market using the widget and also by manually keying in the URL in the web browser. Is there a restriction with Globe? If yes, I might ask them to give me a plan that can access those. My concern is: I pay for Pxxx for unlimited mobile internet then I then find out that "unlimited mobile internet" has some minor annoying restrictions. I'll ask Globe about this but needed some advice so that I can come "prepared" when I grill down the sales rep.

Not all sales rep are technically sazzy and might just be saying "Yes Sir" to all my queries without really knowing anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
from my own experience, best way to go about this would be to go to a globe centre and have them clarify everything there. phone reps will usually just give you the run around or hang up on you.

tip: don't mention you used it for sun. tell them that ur travelling to a diff country and ask if there will be any problem using the phone with that country's provider.

but to be honest, i dont think globe would lock down the phone to that extent. if they did, it might be firmware based customization. are you on the original firware or have you flashed to a diff one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
I just updated the firmware today. Updating it did take away all the apps I installed and my phone contacts.. I REALLY MUST REMEMBER to back up all data every now and then :o

I'll see if this new firmware works with SUN.... after I reinstall my apps and precious phone contacts.. i think I lost a few friends with the update :p

Note to self: start saving contacts to GMAIL for easy sync :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkMyk:
Ayos! So it's a FW problem? Globe must have done something or the Open line thingy was incomplete!...

I really hate provider locks!:mad: It is better here in Singapore, there are no provider locks even on their exclusive phones like SGS!

ENJOY YOUR SGS! :cool:

nga pala, sikat din ba ang SGS sa Pinas? mahal kasi presyo ng Globe!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
hope it's working fine for you bow with the new firmware.

lol at the backup... made that mistake too when i did my first flash. titanium works wonders for app backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
Thanks to both of you for yourk suggestions.

Yes, sikat dito SGS to the tech savy of course.

I paid 33k for the unit. Is that fair or a bit steep?

Gusto ko nga ng titanium backup pero you need to root the phone pa right? Takot akong magroot e
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkMyk:
Singtel sells the unit without a contract for S$900, Php29,700. But some shops sell it even lesser..

Medyo mahal nga dito tapos locked pa sa globe.

Any ideas when froyo would be available via kies?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkMyk:
According to Samsung it'll be by the end of September. Just cross our fingers and hope for good news.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
bell mobility sells it (16gig version) for $499 CAD, plus the 12% tax, w/c is around 24k. pretty good price considering we can unlock it ourselves.

yeah, looking forward to froyo for this month. lots of news circulating that it may be on the 23rd, but i'd rather keep an open mind. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
I'm thinking of rooting my phone. Any advantages or disadvantages doing that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
head over to the dev section to get more info. :)

basically, rooting will allow you to install apps that need more access to the system. usually for tweaks and such.

disadvantage? probably warranty, but there's also a thread to unroot the sgs if it comes to that.
[HD Mini General] Stl09:
3 most worst problems of our Mini​

1)Problem with Lock Screen. In missed calls wrong number is appearing.

2)Problem with in-call volume. After phone restarting, we have to push the side button during a call in order to increase the volume, because the initial level is approximately 40%.

3)HTC has released an update which supposes fix the problem with in-call volume. Are you sure that this update fix the problem which is written above (2) ? In case of “Yes”, could we install only the second “update file” (cab) in order to get rid of in-call volume ?

I bring to your attention to all issues above. Please for your cooperation in order to find a solution finally !! Furthermore, if someone has found a solution, I personally beg to publish the solution. Summing up, please try to keep this post ACTIVE !!! We have to pay lots of money for this wonderful mobile. However, it’s a really pity that these problems discomfort us !!! I am sure that together we can find a solution FINALLY !!!
[HD Mini General] beejee0:
I totally agree with you.

The first problem has occurred more than once on my mini.

The fact is that he always show the previous missed call.

So when your father calls you and you miss it.

And then the next day your sister calls and you miss that call again,

the lock screen will say that you missed a call from your father.

Strange that this has not been fixed yet, since this will just be a minor error.

My best guess is that they search the first missed call (missedcall(1))

where the function is maybe starting to count from 0.
[HD Mini General] Stl09:
Exactly my friend ! Ragarding second problem about in-call volume ? Do you have the same problem ?
[HD Mini General] humphster:
Yes, but...

While the problems listed are serious, to me the very worst problem is the volume. Laid flat, the device is inaudible. Also I find the volume control was placed on the wrong side of the device. I think it should been on the right side but then I am a righty. Also I have big hand and end up changing the volume unintentionally. Because of the extreme sensitivity of the screen and placement of the talk/send soft key, my thumb pad (?) has placed numerous calls. This is correctable but one wonders if anybody at HTC played with the phone before the design was finalized.
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
yeah i dont like that ringtones are not so loud too..but this might help u www.vloud.com
[HD Mini General] beejee0:
I must say that the volume hasn't bothered me yet.
[HD Mini General] Stl09:
It's really strange !!! Some people have problem with volume level and some others not !!!

Your comments guys... Give all a try in order to fix this problem FINALLY
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
More serious problems:

1. Phone tends to freeze every few weeks. Only solution is to do hard reset, losing all data from your latest sync.

2. While having a numeric keypad is a great plus for a touch screen device, this great feature of HD mini is buggy. At times, it doesn't know if it's operating under T9 or under abc mode. The worst problem is that it tends to save every erroneous typing into the custom dictionary, with no option to ask for confirmation. While the custom words you really need requires a confirmation press on the word. Often, the custom words you want added to the dictionary are added erroneously, mispelled and cannot be modified or deleted. This is one very messy virtual keyboard.

3. Some regular and important options are restricted. Like the option to hide headers and scroll bars in mobile excel is greyed (unavailable). For no particular reason, other than to cripple the app.

4. Weather tab is buggy and a tremendous resource hog. Disable it and avoid it at all cost. It gobbles up close to 10Mb of ram, and makes the Sense unstable.

5. HTC Messaging is extremely slow. Cannot effective handle more than a few hundred messages.

6. Editing contacts is a mess. Copy and paste is disabled in many of the fields. Editing contacts will often freeze up the phone for a long time. Sometimes reaching several minutes. (Don't reset the phone no matter how long it takes, it will come around. It's just extremely slow and inefficient.)
[HD Mini General] nguoidungnq:
I once emailed them about "wrong missed-phone appearing on the Lock Screen", you know what was their reply? (actually, you can guess)

pls HARD-RESET! :(.

Wow, so simple?

Hard-reset won't be the solution, bc, I have had hard-reset more than once, the problem still can not be solved.

Hopefully, HTC will soon issue some kind of patch for this.

Best regards
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
It won't work. HTC tech guys are so lazy and do not know how to solve problems. They always go for quick fix that won't work at all. Only to pretend they know what to tell you.

Some of the quick answers they usually go for are:

1. Go to service center for replacement (even if it's just a small software bug)

2. Hard reset (without even understanding why)

3. Soft reset

All these quick answers cannot solve any problems.
[HD Mini General] Stl09:
2)Problem with in-call volume. After phone restarting, we have to push the side button during a call in order to increase the volume, because the initial level is approximately 40%.

NO IT DOES NOT!I HAVE INSTALLED IGO PRIMO GPS SOFTWARE,AND FOOTPRINTS IS OPENING COPILOT AND GOOGLE MAPS!I THOUGHT I MADE MYSELF CLEAR IN MY PREVIOUS MESSAGE.......AND BY THE WAY...YOU DIDNT ANSWER ME ON MY OTHER ISSUE,DO YOU READ THE MESSAGES AT ALL?OR I AM TALKING WITH A BOT...ROBOT..WHATEVER!

btw..does your sms tab shows messages shows like mail one..i mean with flipping pages?
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Yes. That's what i've been promoting. Drown HTC Support with surge of email complaints. This is the only way to force them to get off their lazy ass and do some real work.
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Unfortunately, they almost never read your complaints. All they do is to issue standard pre-composed responses. Which will not contain any answers to your questions. This is their method. Of all the complaints i've written to them, none were ever answered.

SMS tab doesn't show flipping pages. Just simple text in a black background. The only effects you get is the twisting of the text when being swiped away. I think only big brother HD2 gets the flipping page effect for SMS.
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
Damn:( finally i will have to call them,maybe this way i will get a proper answer
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Good luck on that. In our country, the HTC "hotline" is permanently connected to a fax machine. The only response you ever get is fax tone. Nobody answers the call.
