an alternative is there are scripts made that will remove sense and the known ok to remove bloatware/htc apps. one is linked in my signature. you flash the script just like a rom (follow instruction listed) once you have launcherpro set as your launcher. this will ensure it doesnt run and gives you the extra space in your phones memory.

Is there some app that I can use like mouse ore something that is free. I just need it when I watch movies at night to turn pouse,play or something?

remotedroid.net
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] crni6:
thanks man...works exelent! I write this with that app from my bad!:)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] GigiAUT:
There's also Unified Remote which has a bunch of different interfaces dedicated to different programs, e.g. Keyboard, Mouse (multi- and single touch modes), MediaCenter, Media, Web Browsing, etc.

Also, if you have VLC on your computer, there is a VLC Remote. You might need a patched market to get it though.

I'm not sure of the validity of this report and endgadget have been known to be wrong but this is not sounding good ...

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/06/t-mobile-g2-said-to-have-hardware-rootkit-that-restricts-modif/

Any thoughts on the possible lack of root access?
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Check out the DZ Android Development forum, where you'll see that root has already been achieved, albeit on a temporary basis (i.e. doesn't persist after a reboot).

Also check out the G2 dev forum where there's a *lot* more info on this (since folks actually have G2s, unlike the DZ which hasn't come out yet). When an update comes out for the G2, then there must be a way for it to write to memory properly, so I'm sure it can be cracked, it just needs time ...
[G2 and Desire Z General] xspyda:
Thanks, I hope you're right in that time is all that's needed. I hate it when maufacturers lock down devices and restrict your usage (looking at you Apple)!

I think the article is pointing at the original firmware being written back to the device on boot after root access has been gained so maybe this is the problem the devs are having trouble with now, making it stick.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I could be wrong, but I think the original story about it restoring the stock firmware/ROM has been debunked. The issue is, I believe, really about not being able to write to the built-in memory.
[G2 and Desire Z General] faugusztin:
The point you are missing is in the URL. 2010/10/06. That was 18 days ago :). Read fresh news, not old news.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xspyda:
Good point. Never thought to look at the date as this was linked today from another forum I frequesnt - so I assumed (wrongly) that it was upto date!

My mini pro was only about 8 hours standby, that is up ontil last week when danish 3 updated something on their net, now the phone is easy 2-3 days standby...

What 3 changed i dont know, but they had a big crash for a whole day here in denmark at the same time, and i didnt change anything on the phone...

Send from my X10, still without 2.1 *&%#
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pshdo:
As i said i dont know what the operators net update was all about, but at the same time that i got mutch more standby time, many other have repported a network speed increse...

The funny thing is that i am not even using 3's 3g netwotk, as i live in an area with only 2g, and that is roamed free from an other operator here in denmark "tdc"...

But something has changed thats for shure, and it is not on my phones setup...

This was only ment as info to all of you who also have really short standby time... it can be something at the op side...

What do you mean serial out? USB? Activesync?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] dclx:
YES ，I made a serial cable ，like the serial cable of G1 . I work fine under the winmo . I want to use this to get the dmsg of the android.

Hi

anyone know if the "Nav N Go iGO 8" suppose to run on this new windows mobile 7 platform as is,or there will be new revision like "Nav N Go iGO My way" that they develop for the i phone ?

THX
[7 Mozart General] martoto:
No one app, developed for WM6.5, would run on WP7 and iGO is not exception. It's going to take some time till we see decent offline navigation for that brand new platform.
[7 Mozart General] pikacz:
i'm hoping for garmin or sygic to whip something up :)
[7 Mozart General] sachlichfalsch:
In Germany Mozart from T-Mobile comes with "NAVIGON select Telekom Edition" (3.11.2010) - at least they are advertising with this :

As a new User I am not allowed to post Links, just browse T-Mobile (.de) -> click on Mozart -> and then on Telekom Apps

Didn't find any anouncement on the Navigon Website though.
[7 Mozart General] dxdy:
WM7 is different OS and you cant use older applications for WM 6.x
[7 Mozart General] agp64:
WP7 not having a descent GPS map alternative is the only reason I have not switched to WP7 mobile.:(

I hope Garmin climb on board soon as they have the best maps for Malaysia & Singapore.
[7 Mozart General] opticalmouse:
So, any news about offline navigation on WP7?
[7 Mozart General] stephboyle127:
Just read today that Garmin has either submitted or is about to submit to the marketplace
[7 Mozart General] fouros:
just for the US and canadian market , lets hope that it comes to australian marketplace soon
[7 Mozart General] esackbauer:
I am using "Turn by Turn Navigation" by GPS Tuner.

It costs 5 Euros, imho worth the money (for worldwide coverage).

It still uses Bing Maps, however you can select map areas to download for offline navigation.

The only drawback is you need to go online for the route planning (with only some bytes). Once it is planned you can drive offline.

Their free version is limited to 12 miles/20 km routes.

Looks like WM7.5 has a very long way to go.. not able to find any GPS sw for India

[Desire HD General] apprentice:
Is anyone successfully using HTCSense.com portal ?

The day I got my Desire HD I was impressively able to make my phone ring remotely and eventually upload my contacts.

However, none of it seems to work now:

I can't remotely call the phone

It fails to load contacts

Does not correctly report my location (or sometimes incorrectly states Phone Finder not enabled)

Lock phone does not work

Have had problems deleting my account to start all over again.

It won't send text messages

I emailed HTC and they suggest a hard reset (unhelpful) but then subsequently asked for my IMEI / SN to investigate.

Now I am thinking it's just teething problems unless you peeps can confirm you have it all working fine ??
[Desire HD General] apprentice:
ALSO,

can anyone tell me which phone number I am supposed to enter when setting up HTC HUB on the device. It fills the field in for you with a landline number (less the initial 0) do I enter my FULL home number (as it suggests entering area code) or do I enter my mobile number? with or without the +44 country code... I can't find this info out anywhere!
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
I only got my DHD yesterday but I can tell u I have exactly the same problem, except I ve not even had the exprience of it functioning at all.

the people page doesnt update successfully

in the dashboard there is a error message:" “Phone finder" is currently disabled. For security reasons, go to your phone to enable this feature in Settings >> Location >> Phone finder." despite the setting is definitely as it should be on the phone itself. so I cant remoted lock the phone.

The one thing seems functioning is i can make my phone ring from the website.

I was also wondering the same thing regarding the phone number, I just used my full UK mobile number to add it from phone. (i.e. is 0abcdefghil) and it does show up in htcsense.com as +44abcdefghil. However, like mentioned above, nothing seems work other than able to make my phone ring at full volume.

It seems there is some major issue with htcsense.com at the moment. Do anyone know what's going on here?
[Desire HD General] apprentice:
I will certainly update thread when HTC get back to me with any useful answer.
[Desire HD General] fubofo:
yeah htcsense.com is REAALLLY buggy at the minute. I just logged in 2 minutes ago and it was showing all my 178 contacts, tried to check the Phone finder / ring and it didn't work. Then went back to contacts and it just failed lol.
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
it is supposed to be their ground breaking feature lol. I guess the phone is not THAT widely available yet so they still have time to tweak the details. Would love to try out some of the function they demonstrated.

I m sticking to wavesecure for the security features for the time being.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
amm i am the only one that get error 404 form the first min? i cant verify my email, all the time its same 404 error :\
[Desire HD General] SSJVegetto:
Same problem here! It is really buggy! I can't even send files and the locking part doesn't work @ all!
[Desire HD General] zen123:
Set up on my phone & computer. But having a lot of issues.

1/ On my computer I try to locate my phone but it says phone finder is disabled on my phone when I clearly enabled it.

2/ It doesn't download people onto computer

3/ Got loads of messages but computer says phone has no messages

4/ Only thing I can get it to do is make my phone ring.

Cheers
[Desire HD General] crossbox:
Pretty much same problem here - doesn't look like this was ready for market by a long way
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Dear ****,

Thank you for contacting HTC.

Its possible you dont have the full software in order to use all of HTC sense's functions. we do recommend backing up your information first however it should not wipe any of your personalisations or applications.

You can now download the latest software update for new features and improved performance. It won’t delete any of your content and we’d recommend using a Wi-Fi connection as this is a large update. If not, standard data connection charges may apply. Any questions? Contact us via www.htc.com. After installing the update, you can confirm a successful update by confirming the Software number (From the Home Screen go to MENU> Settings> About Phone> Software Information> Software number).

If this continues not to work then possibly a hard reset will work in order to reset the phone to factory setting and start from the beginning and connect it all back up however this WILL wipe all you personal information so we strongly advice bcking up your information before following the below instructions;

Turn off your phone,

1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.

2. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button..

3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.

4. Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number ******.

Sincerely,

Kelly

HTC
[Desire HD General] apprentice:
Similar reply to what I got from HTC initially, so pretty much useless! They did take my IMEI and serial number to see what could be done in the meantime.

I downloaded the latest software OTA (version 1.32.405.3) which made no difference to anything.

I refuse to do a hard reset after spending a very long time customising my phone. It will probably make zero difference anyway.

** If anyone has hard rest their phone and got it to work however, let us know. If we really want this much hyped feature then at least we know what to do **

.
[Desire HD General] Rogibeer:
same here, i did the update but still no connection... to htcsence.com

the first day i had my phone, 19th oktober, all worked fine, the day after nothing .. till today
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Is yours all working now?

Mine has decided to tell me that it cannot connect to the phone so I cant even make it Ring... :mad:
[Desire HD General] spacerace:
Had the same issue as people here (Please enable Phone Finder when it clearly was enabled) but after some HTCSense.com refreshing, suddenly the phone is appearing, and in the right place! Think it might be sorted now...
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Nope still not working for me..
[Desire HD General] frottage:
seems uber flaky - I wanted to demo it to to someone looking to buy the phone and it completely bombed today - which made for a less than impressive demo. It has worked for me in the past but seems to be really struggling now
[Desire HD General] spacerace:
definitely working ok for me, just tried toggling the enabled/disabled setting on the phone a bit and then after a few minutes the and a refresh on the HTC site it appeared! Also been pushing ringtones and free apps to the DHD successfully this afternoon.
[Desire HD General] frottage:
try locking the phone remotely - or downloading a 1000 contact address-book
[Desire HD General] Jgner:
Change your default location to UK it will work then.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xspyda:
I am looking to ditch Symbian and have decided that Android is the way to go (despite the downfalls along the lines of camera and sound quality).

It might seem a no brainer but I am not sure I have use for the qwerty offered by the Desire. That said, I like the latest and greatest but I am trying to convince myself that the Desire Z with its extra bulk is worth the extra if I am not going to use the qwerty much.

I might find that I grow to like the keyboard on the other hand (which is what I am hoping as I have almost convinced myself to go with the Z).

Any arguments for forgetting the Desire entirely?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrvanx:
If you hold back i will have both devices here once my Z arrives.....my gf has just got a desire and i wasnt sure if she would be ok with the s/w keyboard....its not too bad actully but i still prefer hardware qwerty keyboards.

Watch this space. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] ew4936:
before owning the a desire i had a nokia e71 and i gotta say the keyboard on it was amazing. After realizing the desire z is getting released soon I decided to sell my desire. I just never got used to using a touch keyboard after using one with real hardware keys. I'd say go for the desire z if having a hardware keyboard is your thing. But otherwise the desire is pretty decent and I was extremely satisfied with it except for the fact it didn't have a keyboard. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
IMO the display should not be obtruded by the input (even not my own fingers)

I use the web intensively from my phone (news, blogs, mil, etc)

so I can't imagine using internet without a keyboard

I'm using the X10 now and I've made my best to adapt, but I really miss the keyboard

Again, just IMO, but a physical keyboard makes me more productive
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
Well, I was holding out for the Desire Z, but needed to get a new phone, as I couldn't live with my old phone anymore. So, I got a San Francisco (SF) on Orange PAYG (it's a rebranded zte blade). Anyway, I didn't think that I would get on without a hardware keyboard, as I moved away from a touch pro 2...

Anyway, installed swype on the SF, and really getting on quite well with it. It's not as bad as I thought it would be to live without a physical keyboard.

Obviously a physical keyboard is much better to use, but for the time being, I cancelled my pre-order (did so a while back), and am just using the SF for a bit. Will give me time to see how well the Desire Z does, and whether I wanna buy one in the future, or just stick with the SF for a bit longer...

But, I would say that if you are not desperate for a hardware keyboard, and have used touch screen keyboards before and got on ok with them, then it's your choice as to whether the extra money is worth it?! I think most of the differences between the two is the physical keyboard, the internal available rom (1.5gb vs 0.5gb I think), a few differences in the network capabilities and the new sense ui and htcsense.com. So, if you put a custom rom on the phone, then you will have basically the same phone, but without the keyboard and the extra rom...
[G2 and Desire Z General] faugusztin:
@lovelldr: are you serious ? Android 2.1, only 600MHz CPU and missing QWERTY keyboard is more than small difference. You are comparing one of the lowend models to the highend.

If we go with your analogy, HTC Dream is pretty much same phone as HTC Desire HD. Except the display size, display resolution, CPU speed, RAM, ROM, other features...
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
WTF, I'm saying I'm staying with that phone until I've seen whether the Desire Z is as good as stated...

I'm stating to the OP the differences between the Desire Z and original Desire... It's then his decision whether he chooses. I was merely stating a software issue (so it doesn't matter which version of android or the hardware differences). I found that swype (again, can be used on any phone, so it doesn't matter) is a good means of input, and that the hardware keyboard isn't so much of a big deal breaker to me any more (after trying it out on the SF).

Where did I say to him to forget either of those phones, and go with an SF?! I didn't...
[G2 and Desire Z General] faugusztin:
Then i misunderstood your post, it sounded like you are comparing Desire Z and the Orange SF.

In my experience, physical keyboard is impossible to replace. I had HTC Touch HD, it was a nightmare to type on it (and i had it for a year, so don't try to argue that i didn't tried). Even a bad physical keyboard (like the one on my Milestone) is miles ahead of any virtual keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
yes, physical keyboard is better than a virtual keyboard, hands down...

But, I'm saying that if the user is thinking they can get on with a virtual keyboard (I think that swype is the best virtual keyboard I've tried, works much better than any of the other virtual keyboards, and without swype I probably wouldn't be recommending this), wants to save some money, and isn't too bothered with the small differences between the two (i.e. the internal ram, network offerings etc), then the desire z will be good to go.

If you have someone you know who has an android device, and are able to get swype for that device, then give it a go, and see how you get on... If all works well, and you're happy to save some cash, then go for the original desire I would say... But, at the end, it's your choice, and you might be unable to get on with virtual keyboard, or be a user that must have the latest and greatest...
[G2 and Desire Z General] faugusztin:
Problem with Swype is that beta is closed, and i'm not in a mood to explore grey areas of internet :). On other side, Swype still doesn't solve the biggest problem of all virtual keyboards - they take up big part of screen, so you have a keyboard instead of content.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
But it's all swings and roundabouts... When using the physical keyboard on a device, it means that the size of the device is almost twice as big... :p hehe. OK, enough of my argumenting :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z General] xspyda:
Thanks for your comments folks... a couple of things to consider but I think I am leaning more towards the Desire Z.

As I understand it, as well as the other points mentioned, the cpu in the Desire Z is a later generation than the Desire so the device runs a lot faser and smoother. I am not too bothered about the qwerty as originally stated but If the qwerty doesn't make the handset all that much bigger than the Desire then I may just take a punt - I may even grow to like the qwerty and I am sure it will be far in advance of the others I have used in the past - namely the Qtek 9100 and the Vario 3.

Price wise I don't think there is a huge difference with current UK prices for sim free handsets so I may be better just shelling out the extra £60-70 for a cutting edge device (Desire Z)?

What I am anxious to avoid is ending up with a new handset that has a qwerty that is never used. That said, apart from the HD which is too big for me I don't see that I have much alternative.

Thanks again for your thoughts ...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Soaa-:
Desire Z, for the simple reason that it uses a next generation processor compared to the Desire. The clock speed is a bit lower, but the much faster graphics make up for it. I'm sure there will be overclocking available once the phone is rooted too.

One of the main shortcomings of the Desire's Snapdragon is its graphics capabilities. It's just not up to par with other top players like the Milestone and the Galaxy S series. The Z addresses that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] stian230:
it is rooted and overclockt ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtube_gdata_player&v=DVORX-ZFblA
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrvanx:
Another plus point of the Z over the desire is that the multitouch screen actually works perfectly, I will dig up the video which demonstrates both the desire and Z screens showing off the multitouch hardware........

The thread HERE highlights this topic.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xspyda:
You're doing a good job of convincing me guys, thanks :)

I looked at some HD videos last night and it seems that thing is even bugger (marginally) than the HD2! Too big for me for sure so back to the Z I think.

mrvanx - I assum this is the video you were referring to?

http://pocketnow.com/android/does-the-g2-suffer-the-same-multi-touch-problems-as-the-nexus-one-video

Demo's the multi-touch differences of the DZ and the N1 very well. I assume the Desire uses the same panel as the N1.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xspyda:
Gone for the Desire Z and ordered from Amazon.co.uk

Delivery stated as between 3rd and 5th Nov (I ordered using Free Super Saver Delivery) but I am sure this will be delayed.

At least they don't take payment prior to dispatch so nothing to lose really.
[G2 and Desire Z General] LickTheEnvelope:
It's not actually rooted yet, that's a temp root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Yeah but he was answering the guy that was saying once the phone is rooted, then it will be able to be overlocked. And he's correct in saying that it has been rooted now, and it is able to be overclocked. It's just semantics, it's not a permanent root, but it's still been rooted.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pickx:
It's not semantics. I believe we can't flash custom ROMs, which to many people is the best thing about rooting.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xspyda:
Is that not likely to change in time?
