It's an ADB command which sets the default install location to "external". All apps can be moved (partially) to SD. You

don't need to root

for this mod. It's all described in this thread.

But you should know it could void warranty, although I think this is never confirmed. And it's reversable. Just don't move widgets or system services.
[Desire Themes and Apps] -A-P-M-:
This app needs "Move to SD" option, because its too big.

As far as I'm aware Skype on 3 for Android is a version of Skype Lite, which means it relies on making a regular GSM call to connect and is then connected to your destination. The access numbers that this call uses are "free" on 3, so it doesn't use your inclusive minutes.

The version of Skype on the market is a full voip client, which only works over the data network (3G or WiFi), so unless you have unlimited 3G data (which doesn't really exist!), data will be consumed when you use 3G.

Hello

Sorry my bad english

Is is possible of my galaxy the browser color invert backround dark and make the font white " INvert" color ?

Thanks and best regards from Austria
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DarrenCarnall:
I would also like this. Reading on something like Tweetdeck with the dark greys and blues for background and white text is *much*easier on the eye (and better for the battery!)

Problem is with browser, the app is just generating the pages, its not the app that creates em (hence no xml change will get you this required result).

Only option, wait for aosp to come to our phone and then using aosp browser source code modify it somehow, or HEAVILY "smalify" the stock browser code
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ADeadlySpoon:
Ah right, well tbh I don't know that much about programming at all so I guess this is WAYY out of my league haha :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] glitterballs:
CyanogenMod 6 has this feature. I'm not a dev, but it seems like if they could get it working on CM6, there's not reason a Galaxy S couldn't get this too. I don't think I can post links yet, but if you google cyanogen "browser color invert" you'll see what I'm talking about. But from looking on github it says "Common: Browser color invert (save battery on AMOLED screens) - Qualcomm" so maybe it's only for phones with Qualcomm processors?

Hello, does anyone know where to buy a car holder for desire hd?

I ordered the HTC HD2 Brodit car holder as it has virtually the same dimensions ie width and thickness :)
[Desire HD Accessories] nednapalm:
Hey, can you let us know if the HD2 brodit holder fits ok with the Desire HD when you get it?

Thanks.
[Desire HD Accessories] darrenjdoc:
Yeah. Problem is though, when i get it :D
[Desire HD Accessories] onesolo:
Is there going to be a good looking car holder from HTC itself??
[Desire HD Accessories] liorra3:
not official yet, but we guess that htc will realse an car older - when ? - dono
[Desire HD Accessories] badgerblack:
Hello All.

I mailed Brodit and they dont have a release date for their HTC Desire HD holder.

I've used a few different manufacturers over the years and Brodit has been the best.

I would be very interested in knowing if the Brodit HD2 holder fits!

Regards,

Steve.

I e-mailed Brodit asking about the HD2 holder and it will NOT fit the DHD.

The HD2 holder was a very tight fit and the dimensions of the DHD are different.

Get your Dremmels out!

EDIT:

I have received the HD Brodit Holder 511198 from Morpeth Mobile.

Usual great service from Morpeth and high Brodit qualiity and excellent fit.

Regards.
[Desire HD Accessories] Humpe:
Hope someone can confirm soon that the HD2 car holder fits the Desire HD too. That would make my (now) hard decition on changing my HD2 for a Android (Desire HD) or WP7 (What ever it might be) phone since I already have the active Brodit holder for my HD2.
[Desire HD Accessories] fubofo:
Well I have been having a look at this hopefully it will be similair enough dimensions to fit the Desire HD.

Does that fit DHD? There are some millimeters difference in the sizes of DHD and EVO 4G, aren't there?
[Desire HD Accessories] bloke:
that will last precisely 3 minutes.....

I had one for a phone a while back from fleabay, .... not exactly high quality, they did send me another, that lasted a whole 1 day...

Dont waste your money.

I've got a Brodit HD2 mount and a generic desk charger, which I'm going to hang on to until I (eventually) receive my DHD. I'll let you know as soon as it's unpacked, whenever that may be....
[Desire HD Accessories] antoszka:
Don't suppose this will be possible, as the Desire HD is almost a millimeter thicker (0.8mm to be precise), and millimeter wider, too. The HD2 holder is a pretty tight fit.
[Desire HD Accessories] oliboli:
not sure if the HD2 brodit active holder fits the DHD because of the power supply...what is it anyways? mini usb? I don't think the power port on the DHD is in the middle of the unit.....so will have to wait and see...

http://www.finalcity.com/dhd/12.JPG

;-)
[Desire HD Accessories] mickgeorge:
They're both micro usb, but that power supply does look off centre.. Might be ok on a generic desk charger, but the Brodit mounts are tighter than a Nun's chuff so I can't see it fitting one of them...
[Desire HD Accessories] Deadwood:
Don't buy a cheap car holder for your $700 phone.

Buy these:

http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/36/herbert-richter-pda-grip

If you want a high quality German made car holder at a reasonable price.

I've been using these with my HTC TD2, the best car holder i've ever had.

I can't post links yet so go to amazon dot co.uk and search "Modern-Tech In-Car Windscreen Suction Holder/ Mount for HTC Desire HD"

try looking for spiderpodium :)
[Desire HD Accessories] BuzzFuzz:
I think I'll order this one. 2,5 mm can be rearranged with little "modification" on the CU S400 car kit.

I'm not sure if it will fit charger...
[Desire HD Accessories] darrenjdoc:
The Brodit HTC HD2 fits the Desire HD perfectly :)
[Desire HD Accessories] BuzzFuzz:
If Brodit fit...than must CU S400 fits like dad on mom
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
When you say perfectly, do you mean 100% or "it will do"? Also, is it passive or active? Thanks
[Desire HD Accessories] darrenjdoc:
The one without the charger.

It is a little tight but not too tight. Problem is though with my handset when the phone is in the holder or even a HTC case the sim cover pulls off easily. Not sure if its my phone or its a common problem.

I am really thinking about selling the phone as the battery life so far is poor but i am wondering will it be any better in the Z ...
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Hm. Both of the flaps on mine are pretty secure. Also my battery life is already better than my old touch pro2. Maybe your handset is a bit dodgy. I have the proximity sensor issue but otherwise I can't fault it.

Either way I think i'll wait for the active holder.
[Desire HD Accessories] darrenjdoc:
Maybe the holder and case are just a bit ' too ' tight. I could be trying to chat myself out of the phone and to wait for Z :D
[Desire HD Accessories] darrenjdoc:
I gently prised the holder apart and now the phones slips in and out with no problems :)
[Desire HD Accessories] nxtwrld:
the CU S400 has already put a compatibility note for the Desire HD
[Desire HD Accessories] AnvarSilver:
Brodit now list the DHD on their site. I'm a new user, so I can't post a link, this is the best I can do:

brodit.com/?main=searchbrodit.jsp&showModell=D5005EBE-BB2E-463B-B0B1-1A7043FA998C&showTypeHidden=0&showID=44
[Desire HD Accessories] la3bna:
Link for you all.

That looks great.. I think I will buy one of these when I eventually get my DHD

Edit

Althou I have two cars, so I do fancy a suction cup holder for the windshield
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
I e-mailed DSLDevelopments.com as that's who I usually buy my Brodit holders from, the reply this morning is -
[Desire HD Accessories] danielpetrovic:
Just wanted to confirm:

http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=188277

Fits fine on the Desire HD with charging and all.
[Desire HD Accessories] onesolo:
Bah, if only Brodit had a mountshield option...
[Desire HD Accessories] llcooljazz:
Just a quick note, I didn't like the HD2 brodit fit on the DHD - it's too tight down the sides.

But I did like the CU S400 - thought was a good fit, a bit fiddly to get out but nothing major.
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Everyone, the Brodit holder is now up for preorder :) Decent enough price too! £38 for the active holder shipped. Wooo!

I wonder if it's clever enough to activate the car panel like the HTC holder is...
[Desire HD Accessories] llcooljazz:
Mobile Fun have it on pre order - but they expect stock around the 8th of November.
[Desire HD Accessories] Mujja:
The Brodit HD2 holder was originally too tight for my HD2 but over time loosened up. After I sold the HD2 I went back to a iPhone 3GS with a incase slider case. Luckily this was a perfect fit and saved me buying another holder. This probably also pushed the sides apart some more.

I've tried the DHD in the same holder HD2 holder and again a perfect fit with the only movement at the bottom of the device where it curves in. But on the first touch of the screen the device gets pushed back the few mm and settles in. If your DHD is a tight fit just push and hold the sides apart for a few seconds.

I'm waiting for a Brodit holder with a USB passthru so I can connect to my car stereo's USB port for charging and music playback.
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Why not just get a passive holder and use your own usb cable?
[Desire HD Accessories] Mujja:
I guess I'm just being lazy, it's not easy locating and inserting a micro usb cable in to small connector when the phone is already in a cradle. I like to get in to the car with the phone in my left hand (for a right hand drive car) and slot the phone in to the cradle while getting in to the seat in one go. I don't want to get in the seat and then fiddle around with a cable in one hand and phone in the other.
[Desire HD Accessories] downset:
Hi,

has anybody tried the activ HD2 Brodit holder or only the passive?

I have one in my car and don`t want to change it again.
[Desire HD Accessories] fubofo:
Yeah the CU S400 looks awesome, it's exactly the same as the one I posted in the first page. Only problem is, you are really stuck with only 2 options: screen always on or screen always off - the holder covers the power button at the top!
[Desire HD Accessories] tkolev:
I think I'll wait for Haicom to release their own for the DHD. I have one for my Touch HD and I'm very happy with it. It can be rotated in every directions and turned portrait and landscape too.
[Desire HD Accessories] Alfredos:
Look at this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuREArW3c48

I bought one and its just great
[Desire HD Accessories] eozen81:
From what I see on the video at 2:22, I would not take a risk for my device on that holder just because it causes sudden fall off once it is out of sticky feature.
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
Myself, I like that I can just slide it into the holder and not have to go searching for a cable in the passenger side footwell...

That and it seems really loose. Press a button on one side of the screen and it will spin round a little!

Just to check, they all do this you know? Even very cheap holders (see the above posted video) can do this.

I still stand by Brodit as being the best. Slide into place with one hand and it's charging too. Sturdy, so it can be moved and rotated, but it stays firm for when being operated.
[Desire HD Accessories] tkolev:
Yes, but they all have issues - for example the Brodit one you are talking about (if I am correct) is mounted on the dashboard, not on the windshield, so it sits rather low. And the mounting is on the airducts, so in the winter the phone is hot and you are cold (I prefer it the other way aroud). I've used such holders for my Pocket LOOX and didn't like it at all. From the windshield mounted holders I've seen, Haicom's are the sturdiest, most compact and with the best freedom of movement in directing the phone to face you. It grips the phone from all directions, so no chance of falling down if you rotate it and the phone can be slid with one hand. It's a passive charger, but I prefer it that way, as I have the bad habbit of forgeting the phone in my car if I don't see the charger's cable :).
[Desire HD Accessories] AnvarSilver:
With the Brodit it depends on the car you have, they usually have multiple holders for a car. In my Alfa 159 for instance it can sit high up, over the the air vents, so they're not blocked, or to the right of the radio. I have it next to the radio, and it's no problem for me, but have a look at brodit.se and check it out yourself.
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
Yeah, I don't really want anything stuck to my windscreen.

If it's held from all sides, how is it put in with one hand? The Brodit is sterdy so you could turn it upside down and it wouldn't come out... :)
[Desire HD Accessories] tkolev:
You just slide it in - the top holder is a spring-loaded clip that secures the phone once it's in. Simple, and like all simple ideas, it's brilliant. And speaking of sticking anything to you car, I think the adhesive tape stuck to your dashboard makes far more damage than a vacuum cup on your windscreen. And it's easier operating the phone that way because you don't have to take your eyes off the road. I've installed mine low on the windscreen, so looking from my position the phone is on top of the dashboard just below the windscreen not in front of it.
[Desire HD Accessories] tkolev:
I have Opel Zafira and Brodit is a no-go for me because it's either on top of the air vent, or very low to the right - almost in front of the passanger seat as you can see here (image form Brodit's site):
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
1. I'm not worried about damage to the windscreen, I'm worried about blocked view and possibilities of it falling off (has happened before)

2. I do not have any tape stuck to my dashboard, why on earth would I do that. Brodit make their holders specific to your car, it fits 'into' the dash.
[Desire HD Accessories] AnvarSilver:
Brodit actually puts doublesided tape on some of their mounts, I guess for a more secure fit. I've never used it though, I just left the plastic on the tape, and have never had it come loose.
[Desire HD Accessories] tkolev:
I also don't want to block my view, so I install it low and actualy from my point of view it's in front of the top of the dashboard, not in front of the windscreen. And I never had mine falling off - with proper care (cleaning and reapplying every two-three weeks) it woun't come off if it's a quality brand.

Instructions from Brodit:

Like you said - why on earth would I want to do that?!?
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
Like I said and like Anvar said, we don't. I'm assuming English isn't your first language...
[Desire HD Accessories] tkolev:
No, it's not - but seeing you are fluent with it, how do you understand the instructions from the manufacturer?

Is it neccessary according to the manufacturer to stick the adhesive (if I am not misleaded by my bad English, that means "sticky") tape to the dashboard? Your car and Anvar's may not need the additional support, but mine might need it. So in the end I would end up spending ~30 Euros on a passive holder that I might have to glue to my dashboard, when there is much cheaper and more convinient option not sacrificing anything in terms of build quality. You say that you don't want to block your view (which you woun't if you mount the windscreen-one lower) but you don't seem to mind taking your eyes off the road every time you need to operate the phone... Your logic is really beyond me...

Anyway, there is no point in continuing this. I have my share of experience with both dashboard and windscreen mounted holders and I can tell that the windscreen ones are far more convinient for me. In terms of build quality, I seriosly doubt that you can say from experience that Haicom's are bad like I can't say that Brodit's are bad. And I don't. I say that they are poorly designed if they need to be glued to your dashboard (forgive me for taking manufacturer's word for it over yours or anyone else) and it's unconvinient to operate the phone since you have to look down to the right (or left for UK drivers) while driving.
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
There is no glue involved. You don't even need to use the sticky pads. They are designed to fit so well they clamp into gaps in your dashboard, as you have read it talks about using the seperater to get them in place. IF you device to use the sticky tape (It's like 2mm thick and 3cm long) they don't even attach to your dash, they try and stick to the back of the dash, where the little hook part of the mount already has a firm hold. This means, no sticky stuff on your dash.

As you say, this is a pointless conversation.
[Desire HD Accessories] AnvarSilver:
Well, buy the one you feel suits you best, my original point was just that not all Brodit holders cover the air vents, so if you hadn't checked the ones for your car you might have been pleasantly surprised. And I don't operate my phone while driving, because that's a safety hazard no matter where it's located...
[Desire HD Accessories] tkolev:
What's the point of having a car holder then? Keep the phone in your pocket.

Thanks for the info though. Up until now I didn't know that there were ones designed to fit in the cracks of your dashboard. I've used ones that grip the airducts (quite useless as they tend to tilt the grid itself and fall down especially if the phone is heavy)and they get the phone quite hot as it sits directly in the way of the hot air and I have seen ones that use double sided sticky tape but I don't know who in their right mind would glue a car holder to their dashboard. Have you ever tried to remove yours from your car? Does it leave marks on the opening it was installed to? And is it just a universal mount that you install the actual holder on, so you woun't have to remove it when you buy another phone?
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
To those whining about brodit's proclips, try WWW.dashmount.co.UK .

Brodit only do one proclip for my car and it doesn't even fit.

Dashmount do a metal one that fits in a totally different place, is much more sturdy and looks more professional.

Some may see it as a downside, but I see it as an upside, is that it has pre-cut grooves for the Brodit holder to attach into, but instead of screws you have to use nuts and bolts...
[Desire HD Accessories] AnvarSilver:
The phone doesn't charge in my pocket, and for turn-by-turn navigation. I don't need to see the screen for that.

I've had Brodit in 2 cars now, and when removed you'd never know they had been there. I don't change phones that often, but the mount is universal, so no, you don't have to remove it when changing phones. The phone holder screws into the mount, or, if you change phones often or have 2 cars they make something called a moveclip, which is basically an adapter you slide into the mount.

Hope this helps.
[Desire HD Accessories] AnvarSilver:
That's a good solution too. Though for my car I'd have to dismantle the entire centre console, and it sits in exactly the same place as the Brodit.

But this just goes to show that there's no right solution for a car holder.

[Desire HD Accessories] appelflap:
Holy... where's your steering wheel ?

I use a active brodit holder on a Richter vent-mount . You only need a richter adapter plate with adhesive tape: http://www.brodit.com/?main=productinformation.jsp&anr=202001

Of course you can also use other HR Richter mounting systems with this.
[Desire HD Accessories] AnvarSilver:
I got the car cheap, so no steering wheel ;)

A vent mount is exactly what tkolev doesn't want, as it would block the heat from the vent.
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
If you read around the net, you'll find that those Dash Genies are in fact awful, and cause a lot of damage to phones.. I'd avoid if I were you...
[Desire HD Accessories] RheesSnow:

[Desire HD Accessories] onesolo:
Wow, I've got to get one of this, http://www.ssmoviles.com/htc_wildfi...y-accesorios-para-coche_products_id-1493.html

It has 3 points of hold and none blocks the volume keys, on/off button and usb connection, at least on the wildfire!!!

Hope they make one for the DHD
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
I wouldn't trust one of these with my DHD I don't think. I bought one for my Nexus One and tested by shaking it about a little, it wasn't that hard to make it fall out as the one clip on the right just isn't all that strong.
[Desire HD Accessories] Humpe:
Also wanna know this since I already have the active Brodit holder in my car.
[Desire HD Accessories] Humz:
have just looked for this and have bought one straight away!
[Desire HD Accessories] mickgeorge:
I can confirm it fits the Brodit HD2 holder.
[Desire HD Accessories] llcooljazz:
Or you all could wait for the official one which has now popped up (and it's not as expensive as the HD2 one).

Brodit Desire HD active holder, bad fit

just received the Brodit Desire HD active holder 512198 (the one with cig.charger), bought it from broditcenter.nl. The micro usb connector is about 2.5mm off center! Since I need it badly, and didn't want to send it back and wait for weeks I used a small blowtorch to heat the bottom part, and bend it into the right position. It worked, if you look from the backside the plastic is melted, but you can only see this if your inside the dashboard, so that's no problem. I'm very dissappointed in Brodit, if you're going to buy one: try before you buy!
[Desire HD Accessories] appelflap:
Mine fits pretty well. Also, I've noticed that when you use them for a couple of days they tend to fit better. Had that with all my phones.
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
I'm a little confused... my usb input is off center... so surely the connector should be? I presume you mean it's not lined up?
