Hey guys just wondering if someone could let use know what the screen is like under direct sunlight? Although it is not that important I would still like to know what I am getting myself into.

I currently have a desire and it's quite poor in direct sunlight - just for reference.
[Trophy General] teihoata:
It's usable under direct sunlight, a lot better than my nexus ones amoled display. Perhaps comparable to my old 3gs and maybe a bit less than samsung's super amoled displays.
[Trophy General] mtem1985:
The SD-card is not in a separate slot below the battery or something so you can't remove it.

I haven't had any issues under sun-light, it's readable and clear enough.

the only thing that bugs me now is that the notes app does't work after the HTC update... Not that i'm using it but still
[Trophy General] mtem1985:
still playing with the phone, and as i go along, i'm discovering new features.

With windows phone 7 attached to your winlows live profile, you can do some neat things, at least i think their neat :p

You can map your phone, and it shows on a map the location of the phone, and in my case it was spot on.

You can ring your phone, wich lets your phone ring, so you can find it if you lost it in your room.

You can lock your phone, where the app asks for an 4 digit code to unlock the phone, and an optional message. With this app you can lock your phone from a distance and on wake (power button press) the phone shows an message that the phone is locked or your optional message. and after an reboot the phone still stays in locked state. The only way to unlock it is to enter the 4 digit code. It's still possible to make emergency calls with it.

And the final thing you can do is erase your phone, revert it to factory settings i guess, because i didn't test this part :D
[Trophy General] teihoata:
This used to happen to my notes app, I just uninstalled it completely from the system and re-installed it from the market and it worked

hello !!!!!

congrats for the superb phone!:D

a few questions!;)

does it feel e bit plastic?

how is the quality?

back cover?feel>?matte?plastic?glossy?

and most important.

putting the phone on the table,do the lens/flash/speaker profile scratch?:o

byeeeeee
[Trophy General] appelflap:
It doesn't feel plastic at all. The glossy finish gives it a sort of "industrial design" look. Also, the coating on the back gives it a very sturdy grip.

All in all I like the minimalistic design of this phone. It's one of the best designs I've ever seen from HTC. But of course that's a matter of taste.

No scratching of the lens/flash. The lens/flash/speaker compartment is a bit raised, so when it is laying on the table it doesn't lay completely flat. The angle is just enough to prevent scratching.

bootup logo

I've got my Trophy with a boot up logo from Vodafone. Is there any way to get rid of that bootup screen?

Thanx in advance
[Trophy General] mtem1985:
Nope, not yet.

because it's a part of the rom we can't modify that yet.

But its not so bad, i mean how many time's do you reboot your phone??
[Trophy General] zwuncki:
Agreed.

Love the device with it's simple but stylish design. Really solid device!

But the power button on the right site would have been much better, as it is on almost every device I use.

And WP7 is a lot of a fun, esp. now with Mac Connector!

At the mo it's great.

I just wonder if every app is really closed when exited. Facebook f.e. crashed all the time till I restarted the device. If it was really closed, then why would it crash everytime it was launched.
[Trophy General] bazile:
Did you have problems with other applications too ? I would like to buy it but I still have some doubts about the WP7.
[Trophy General] JackAllPhone:
My HTC trophy from vodaphone UK

Just to echo some above sentiment, looks good (though my prior phone was a nokia 5800) the nav tiles are a bit blocky/not sleek. though scrolling seems ok.

Windows live integration is good - the phone is just another gateway to your live information store really. One note, word, excel is OK - though better on a real IE session.

Cut and paste is not present (i i've not found out how to work it).

Camera is not great but works with LED flash, LED flash can be a torch with an app.

It feels robust, though i would not want to drop it.

Mine had no vodafone logo's on the body, and the themes are easily changable - can't remember boot up screen.

As an active live/hotmail user it meets meeds of one data store & contacts area.

Its quick to get pack to the home page.

but i can't see the apps running

Battery life might be about a day for hard use - or maybe to many apps are running.

Seeing battery charge is only possible on start unlock screen.

Microsoft Zune is needed for PC connectivity and media sync.
[Trophy General] Spybreak:
Tap the top of the screen while on the home screen. It also works while being in some apps.

Unfortunately there is no way of seeing the actual percentage of battery remaining, but I guess it will be added in the future.
[Trophy General] OnlinePredator:
Hey guys, was just wondering as I am a big live services user, with email, does it support folders from hotmail? It would be pretty silly if it didn't but phone software makers these days......

Also is the messenger app full fledged, ie does it support off-line messaging?
[Trophy General] JackAllPhone:
Hotmail Folders - yes it does

Hotmail Folders - yes it does allow you to sync and drill in to the folders :-)
[Trophy General] martoto:
Yep, the apps are completely closed. However some of them could save their state if you press windows button instead of back button from initial page. That's the most likely reason for the described behaviour, since restarting clears the saved states.
[Trophy General] zwuncki:
I realized that, thx.

When I press Windows button it's always possible to go back and go through all the apps you've last visited till there's no more back (start screen).

So that means:

Windows button -> some apps are still somehow running in the background/saving data

Back button -> really closes an app

?

I love the Trophy. Not much bigger than the iPhone but with 3,8 screen. Looks very classy. But the camera is really poor (no comparison to the iPhone 4).

Windows Phone 7: I hope someday some devs will make the following work. custom ringtones, Windows button = closes an app, airplane mode / connection manager on the start screen (not through settings) etc.

And I'm looking for an amazing RSS app. I love Newsroom but the WP7 version is just **** (no settings, no nothing). Newsrack for WP7 would be amazing.

PS: LED for every missed message (emails, sms, calls etc.).

And plz: IM (ICQ etc.) for WP7, IM+, Beejive whatever.
[Trophy General] The Gate Keeper:
the behaviour is that MS realised that some people might accidently hit the windows button whilst in the app, so there is a slight delay in closing so if you click back straight away, it should open the app back up. if it isn't and crashing as you say, that is most likely an issue with this process.

if you hit the windows button and navigate back to the app through the app list, then it would have closed the app and started the app back up again.

Also, for JackOfAllPhone, there is no copy/paste yet. They'll be implementing this in with their next major update which has been rumoured for early next year (like jan?).

Well, you did a good thing by creating the htc trophy forums. May be now people can ask their query and get the satisfactory answer.. Htc trophy is the only device which is launching in Europe then people have right to know about it.. You did a good job here.

Android??

I've talked with a friend who have a Trophy and he really wanted android, but it don't seem like it's possible.

Is it?

Thanks ;)
[Trophy General] viking13:
Chinese guys successfully put Android on HD7, so theoretically it is possible.

There are two very important questions: who will do ROM cooking and when. But the most important question is WHY? :confused:

That's sounds like those guys saying "I want Windows on my Mac". Why have you bought it then?

If he does not want WP7, he should sell WP7 device and buy the one with Android, there is many good devices with Android (hint HTC Desire).

I have a stupid question, since Chainfire can modify the kernal with 2e recovery, is it possible to use ClockWorkMod recovery to replace the stock recovery directly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneshm90:
That should suffice as to why there isnt a permanent recovery yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borky_16:
There is a way because Modaco has released a Rom with Clockworkrecovery as the default recovery.. ;D But i don`t no how it works ;D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkyy:
That is possible, yes.

I can't remember the exact name, but I saw a German Guy on Twitter who replaced the stock recovery with ClockWorkMod on our Galaxy S.

"Lookout" will backup your system to an independent server, protect your phone (scan downloaded apps., incomming multimedia, etc. for viruses), and locate it from their website if lost and send a loud alert to the phone that can only be turned off by rebooting the phone. *bit of a battery hog though.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] idaho999:
Hello all,

I've searched and found some things, but nothing that matches my problem.

HTC Kaiser, branded Swisscom. HardSPL, I don't remember the version. Trying to get to tricolor screen, no key combo works. Camera+reset w/stylus, camera+power, even the two soft keys to reinstall the rom in memory.

After pulling the battery (and waiting more than 5 minutes) and inserting again, pushing the power button turns on the green LED, but goes no further, even after waiting up to 10 minutes. Pulling the battery, then plugging in the USB charger (without presses the power button) will flash a white screen after 7 seconds, then a pause of another 10 seconds, then the phone boots in to Android (again, without pushing the power button, just plugging in the USB cable.

Once in Android, everything works (except the factory reset, it just hangs forever). I need to install WM 6.5 ROM.

Tried the KAISDIAG.NBH and the 329 HardSPL recovery, but no reaction and still can't get to the tricolor.

One last piece of information, when I plug in the USB data cable, the phone flashes the "USB connected" message, and then repeatedly flashes it again every 3 seconds. The computer makes the USB connected sound, but no communication and the KaiserCustomRUU.exe can't see the phone.

Any suggestions to get to the tricolor? It unusual to turn on the phone by just plugging in the USB cable.

Thank you and great work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Abe87:
Try power+camera+stylus pressing the reset.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
A while back the charging behaviour was changed, so that now plugging in a charger, or usb, boots the phone, ( previously we could not charge if it was switched off).

Your problem of `losing` the bootloader has been seen before, but is rare, and seems to have no definite cause, the last time I remember seeing it turned out to be a faulty camera button.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] idaho999:
Thanks and one more question

Thanks Zenity.

I'll continue working on it. One quick question, is there a command in Android to force a hard reset or to the boot loader?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] idaho999:
Camera Button

Ok, after searching more (due to Zenity's suggestion) and reading other threads, I don't think it's a faulty (Fawlty?) camera button.

Somehow, the phone takes along time to boot, and must use some info from the bootloader, as it loads Android.

But all attempts to get into the bootloader fail. I can't establish communication by USB, but I think I will focus my efforts there. I've pushed and help all the buttons in different combinations for too long.

I'll let you know, and thanks again!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Ok, done some research into way to detect that the camera button is functioning, ( since this button is vital in getting the bootloader), no luck yet, but research continues, looking at remapping the camera button using atools, just so i can get a response of some sort, ( normally the camera button does nothing in android, it's unmapped).

Edit: nope, atools won't help, won't let me remap the camera button.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
Atools-keymapper remap the key only in the android GUI not in kernel so any change doesn't effect directly the kernel.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Yeah, realised that, just thought there might have been an easy way of diagnosing the camera button, to see if it was at least functioning, but if it's not enabled at kernel level then it will be difficult to test without disassembly and getting a meter on it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] idaho999:
Update - Android.process.acore

Hey all, still trying to connect by USB to use the CustomRUU tool. Now when I plug in the USB, I get a repeating 'Process android.process.acore has stopped etc".

when I click force close, it pops up again and again.

Pulled the battery, and rebooted. Now it boots repeatedly, it shows the splash screen, right when it should go to the Android home screen, it reboots.

Any ideas? Thank you!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
probable that the FC and subsequent reboot corrupted the data partition, which is known to happen when the device shuts down unexpectedly.

You can try a 'fix permissions', and 'clear dalvik cache', but normally it takes a wipe and re-install of the system, you may get away with not clearing data, but it's often safer to go for the full wipe of system and data.
[Wildfire General] Morpheus24:
Okey I have a question if someone could answer. I'm pretty noobish at this stuff so I would appreciate if someone can help me out.

I have HTC Wildfire with PS freedom and Open Manager 1.13 and everything works fine exept controller problem in some games like Rock Band 2 and F1. it allways shows guitar as Microphone and it does that only in rock band 2, RB 1 works fine.

I've heared Hermes V3 or V4 fix it, so is there any way I can fix this? I have PS freedom with recovery custom rom and it gives me this options in recovery mode:

- Allow Backup

- Allow Backup + Peek & Poke syscalls

- Homebrew Only

- Homebrew Only + Peek & Poke syscalls

- Possibility to load other payloads from SDCARD

So if anyone can tell me step by step what I should do to fix it?
[Wildfire General] blurapple:
you can have a look at this http://208.100.42.21/showthread.php?t=793185&page=3

i think it needs to change the payload to hermes v3
[Wildfire General] Morpheus24:
Okey thanks blurapple for the tip but I found it by myself.

Even tho this payload I found was in forum for XPERIA it's working on HTC Wildfire. So now my controller works perfect. If anyone have similar problem here is what I did:

I cant post links here, so you will have to search for PS Freedom Xperia Walkthrough on this forum. There you will find a guy who attached hermes V3 payload and all instruction you need.

I didn't acctually need to type any commands to my terminal, as I'm running PS freedom custom rom which gives me possibility to load other payloads from SD card while my phone is in recovery mode which is way easyer then typing in terminal everytime. So all I needed to do is copy payload_hermesV3.bin to /proc/psfreedom/payload folder on my SD card, and from recovery I went to load custom rom and pointed to above folder.

If you want you can search for PS freedom wiki wildfire, and there you will find recovery rom, which will make you to have ps freedom in recovery mode so you dont need to boot your phone or type commands in terminal everytime you wanna run psfreedom.
[Wildfire General] Dr_Death:
PL3 is better than Hermes V3, check kakaroto's blog: http://kakaroto.homelinux.net/2010/10/ps3-why-i-dont-like-the-hermes-payload/

alephzain did a great job by adding PL3 to Wildfire_PSfreedom port, plus other nice features.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8690038&postcount=83
[Wildfire General] Morpheus24:
Yeah I was reading about PL3, but how do I acctually make it to work? I mean I would like to know where do I put things from PL3.. on my phone, usb HDD or somewhere else, as there's no .bin files in PL3.

Cause while my phone is in recovery mode custom loader only recognize .bin file. I would appriciate helping me where do I put all those things which are in PL3, cause there are lot of folders and other things..
[Wildfire General] Morpheus24:
and yeah alphezain did do great job for doing recovery image which I'm using and it only allows you to use psfreedom from recovery mode on your phone so no need to use terminal or have your phone full booted, but that's not with PL3 payload as I didn't have my controllers working proprelly until I didn't load custom hermes V3 payload as I described in post above.
[Wildfire General] athoslifepub:
Hermes v3

Please guys info how to load Hermes v3 payload i still get payload fail in psfreedom in recovery menu.
[Wildfire General] Dr_Death:
lets wait for alephzain reply, i got black screen when try to use backup manager or other pkg tools

OK, get it work, the issue was from my PS3, there were 3 stucked DVD's in my PS3 (It was my kid who did it ^_^, I will give him super nitendo to play with and destroy)
[Wildfire General] Morpheus24:
I explaind to you how you can make it to work.

1st you need to get new Unrevoked for wildfire, then you need to download custom recovery rom with psfreedom support from web page PSFreedom Wildfire wiki. Launch unrEVOked recovery tool and select the recovery custom rom to flash (File -> Custom recovery) When done, just boot into recovery every time you need to jailbreak your PS3.

2nd look for this post on this forum http://208.100.42.21/showthread.php?t=778986&page=8

you will find hermes v3 it's made for Xperia but it's working fine on my wildfire.

copy payload_hermesV3.bin to /proc/psfreedom/payload folder on your SD card, and while your phone is in recovery mode go to psfreedom then to load custom rom and point to the folder proc/psfreedom/payload.
[Wildfire General] athoslifepub:
hermes v3

Yes and i followed step by step everything it's ok until i go in the menu Launch PSF i select load from sdcard i select the payload hermes v3 and then i have error loading payload.
[Wildfire General] Morpheus24:
Okey I know what's wrong. There was an update at wildfire wiki for recovery rom, and in this update you have wilfire with kakaroto's PL3 payload, not hermes. And people claim it's even better then hermes.

So what you need to do is go in the menu Launch PSF and then you go to launch PSF and do jailbreak on PS3. You will even have leds on your cell change colour as the original PS Jailbreak do.

Even tho I had some problems with default version of payload, when I went to backup manager and loaded any games, when I put the disc inside it showed me original game. I was able to fix it by goin to PSF, load from SDCARD then point to PSFREEDOM/Payload_dev_3_41.bin

And if you did everything right you should have psfreedom folder created when you installed psf-buzz-101710_222457.zip file. If not you need to go to install zip from SDcard and then you should have folder and lots of payloads inside.

If you still want to use Hermes v3, you will have to look for a previous version of custom recovery rom which is also at HTC wildfire wiki, just need to look for previous version.
[Wildfire General] athoslifepub:
Thanks

Manny thanks for your info it really helped i will try to see if Heavy rain and F1 work with default payload if not i will try the other recovery image and hermes payload.:D
[Wildfire General] Morpheus24:
Oh yeah and one more thing... Open backup manager seems like it doesnt want to work with kakaroto, so I'm using gaia manager which works fine with PL3. Eyepet move didn't work to me before and now it's working.
[Wildfire General] Morpheus24:
I've been testing PL3 a lot with alphzain custom recovery rom, and I had lot of problems with it, so I've decided to use the previous custom recovery rom where you can load payload and loaded hermes v4. I dont have any problems with it on my HTC Wildfire, and I just tested F1 2010 with it and it's working smooth. Savegame and controllers are working, while with PL3 I had savegame problems + I couldn't use Open Manager.
[Wildfire General] hyperdude111:
Would you be able to provide links to all the files you've used and just like how to use them. I've managed to use the original PS Freedom for wildfire and install open manager etc. but I haven't been able to flash the custom recovery.

Just links to what you've used, and what to do with them would be amazing :)

Thanks.
[Wildfire General] Morpheus24:
Okey well I can't provide links here, but you should read previous posts I been writing before, it's explained where you need to go.

What I used is psfreedom custom rom which you can find on psfreedom wildfire wiki, but it will automaticlly take you to the newest version with PL3. So if you don't wanna use it with PL3, on the same page below you will find the link for the old version which just have PSfreedom but from your phone recovery, and ability to load custom payloads. Hint: google for hermesV4.bin type exaclly as I did. Put it on your SDCARD anywhere you want it, and when you are in recovery mode go to load custom payload and point to directory you put it ;)

To install custom recovery rom you need to use unrevoked as I explained in previous posts.

Hope this helps you! ;)
