Any way to make the contact pictures bigger when someone calls or you call them? Similar to in sense.
[Nexus S General] hah2110:
Bump...........
[Nexus S General] wootek76:
Theres an app for that. Its called Full screen caller id
[Nexus S General] hah2110:
It looks like you have to do the selections in their app and it doesn't use the contact file. Any apps that use the already existing interface?
[Nexus S General] hah2110:
Anyone else? I'm not looking for full screen, just big enough that is visible.

I bought this phone on ebay a while back and i'm just wondering can anybody give me some information about the phone e.g. Best GPS program , best audio player etc .

This is my first time having a Windows Mobile phone and also my first time even having a smart phone ..
[S740, S743 General] GorillaHuman:
As mobile browser I got Opera mini, works great. Think you can get it from m.opera.com.

For movies use CorePlayer. Best mediaplayer IMO.

I got NoData for when I'm traveling, and don't wanna end up with a huge bill.

SMSBubbles is a tiny bit buggy but it works. It allows a popup with the incomming text to appear on your screen, so you can read what the text says without having to navigate.

McGuider: great navigation; make sure you get the smartphone version

If you intend to use your own headphones to listen to music; use this here. There's a coupon; SH5OFF which will give you 5% off everything. Free shipping worldwide.

For the software I suggest you use the search button to get the most recent versions.

Good luck :)
[S740, S743 General] Halv:
thanks great reply !

I checked out McGuider earlier but didnt see this phone in the list of compatible devices ?
[S740, S743 General] Hakim Rahman:

Can anyone tell me does Google Maps have a sat nav feature or is it just like basic maps?
[S740, S743 General] sasiskas:
I think it is just basic maps...to be honest im too lazy to check it now...:P

Btw try sygic mobile 10...best navigation software for this phone imo...also includes camera alert :P
[S740, S743 General] Halv:
This phone isn't listed in compatible devices?
[S740, S743 General] Hakim Rahman:
yeah right! Google maps does have sat navigation....and it no doubt :D:D
[S740, S743 General] sasiskas:
I'm using it for like a year on my rose...sygic mobile maps 10 v8.14 works like a charm!
[S740, S743 General] sasiskas:
yes it does..the only problem is that u need internet connection...it doesn't include maps...it just download a part of the map according to your location...
[S740, S743 General] Halv:
Do you have any idea how much that costs i can't seem to find it on the website

Battle of the ROM's?

Axura vs Cognition vs Perception vs Assonance vs etc..?

Or even a wiki or spreadsheet comparing the 4 or 5 major ROM's and their features and benefits? Pros and cons?

Or has it been done and I don't know about it. :confused:

And the Wiki's are there for you to do your own research and compare.

The iPlunger

How is this relevant to the HD2?

Behold!

[HD2 Accessories] Robson:
this has got to be one of the most innovative accessories ever =) i have to ask: where can i get one? again, well done mate!

cheers
[HD2 Accessories] tmihai20:
This one must be the one and only accessory we would need for our HD2. We should name it "How to turn your HD2 into HD7".
[HD2 Accessories] romskii:
amazing :-D can you send me one? :P
[HD2 Accessories] Robson:
found some in ebay, did a search and they're around 20 or so bucks from the uk or hong kong =)

a little curious though. the iphone's back surface is more "glossy" which imo works well with the plunger. given that the hd2's back is not the same, wonder if this will affect the plunger clinging on the surface...
[HD2 Accessories] lukesan:
I wonder what I will tell security or customs at the airport when they find this? :D
[HD2 Accessories] lude219:
That's probably one of the longest crap for someone to sit through and thought that a plunger is the perfect novelty idea for a phone's kickstand:D
[HD2 Accessories] dïnnïra:
Very creative :D
[HD2 Accessories] Black Antitoon:
OMG, this is iGreat!!!! :D
[HD2 Accessories] kontradictions:
You can find it on Amazon for $6-7 a pop. It's sold by Perpetual Kid. It was originally designed for the iPhone but I bit the bullet and bought it to use for the HD2 and it works perfectly.
[HD2 Accessories] johnerz:
£4.99 incl P&P form Amazon UK, just ordered one thanks :)
[HD2 Accessories] Guus_:
That looks great!

How long does it stand?

Because I read on Amazon.co.uk the following review:

"But I haven't been able to make this thing work for periods longer than 5 minutes. Might be because I'm using it on an iPhone 4? Slightly disappointing and not that cheap. "

Does it fall off after 5 minutes? Or does it work for hours?
[HD2 Accessories] kkevin94:
shouldnt it be white?
[HD2 Accessories] Robson:
finally got one, found it being sold in a apple store quite near (5 bucks).

the good news: it does work on the hd2 despite my previous concern on the back surface not being as glossy as that of an iphone's

the bad news: if you were to stick the plunger towards the middle, expect it to pop out in like 5 or less minutes. must be the weight that's pulling down given the "angle". thus, i wouldn't recommend plugging it to give a 30' view. i plugged it towards the side giving it a 10'-15' view and it stayed on for like 2 hours (i think).
[HD2 Accessories] Guus_:
Thanks for the update Robson!

That makes things clear for me; I don't buy it. It's to dangerous if it falls down when I put it in a train or something. I don't want to take the risk. :( And I also don't want to make a profession of applying a iPlunger :) It should just work 100%, easy.

Sad to hear because it looked like a cool thing to buy for my HD2.

Great innovation which very cost effective..!!!:) ;)

[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
One of my pet peeves about EVO cases is that the darned screen is always at the mercy of whatever else happens to be jingling in your pocket (even if you have a screen protector which can itself become scratched).

Also, I have to carry a wallet AND my EVO. What if I could find a nice leather case I could carry in my pocket that had a cover like a book to protect the screen and also have room for my driver's license and a credit card or two - in other words, a wallet replacement.

Last benefit of having a "book" type case - when outside in direct sunlight, you can open the case so that the cover blocks out direct glare.

Anyway, I just bought this:

BoxWave Designio Leather HTC EVO Case (Horizontal Flip Cover)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I8J7RG/ref=ox_ya_os_product

... on Amazon for $30 USD. One commenter griped about it, but based upon the pics, I don't see the basis for his complaints.

Will post an edit to this once I receive it and have tried it out.

P.S., I always use a bluetooth headset so holding it to my ear to talk is not an issue. However, it appears the cover would be sturdy enough to be folded back if you wish to speak with the phone to your ear. On the other hand, since the EVO mic is on the bottom of the phone, you could easily converse with the case closed. How muffled the sound from the earpiece would be is at this point unknown. Granted, a better design here would have had a cutout for the earpiece.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
I have one very similiar to that and love it!! I dont use it often at all, but it will be great for when I do want to carry it
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
I'm thinking maybe I can carry an extra battery in that pouch. Will have to wait and see.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GamerMYJ:
For your "pet peeve", all you gotta do is get invisible shield. Never will scratch your screen again.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sdc177:
Had something similar for my old mt3g. The leather around the screen hindered usage and tore easily when I tried to reshape it. Good luck.

Here is an easy fix for your problems:

Jingly stuff goes in the front left pocket.

EVO goes in your front right pocket.

Wallet goes in your rear right pocket.

I have been using this method for a while and it really works.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
Thanks for the feedback guys.

Regarding "invisible shield", I hate the tacky feeling when you drag your finger across it. Yeah it's tough as nails, but unpleasant to use. Apparently, the shields with the smoother surfaces scratch easier.

Regarding the fellow who had a similar product. Well, all I can say is that your product was "similar" but not "this" product. In other words, Porsches and Fords are both cars but I'll take the Porsche :)

Either way, this is all wishful thinking on my part as I have not received the product yet. In the pictures anyway, it looks exactly like what I was hoping for. In that light, I pretty much had to buy it as it would have bugged me senseless if I hadn't tried.

** P.S., One of the main features I am looking forward to in this is the ability to used to top cover as a "sun visor" when I am trying to read my email when outside. If that works, any other little hassles are worth it.

One other benefit of this "wallet" type of case: when wearing my suit, I would carry this in my top right coat packet as I would a wallet. When I carry my phone in this manner, If I were to bend over to pick something up off the floor, the phone could easily slide out and fall. With this, the phone will stick better in my pocket.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jfree3000:
I had something similar to this from Ebay, but it was a flip style leather case. The problem I had with it was when someone called, the cutout for the sensor that turns the screen off when up to your face was always covered because the leather around it was just to far away and made the phone stay black unless you pushed it out a little and it got some light on it.

I tried to modify the case but when I cut the leather around the sensor it was to flimsy and just made things worse. Just something to keep in mind with those kind of cases, but since you said you will be using your earpiece I don't foresee many problems.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I just ordered this one, I think it's the nicest looking leather case for the EVO, really digging the contoured back.
[EVO 4G Accessories] chaoticallysweet:
I want that case!!!?! gimmie, gimmie please.:p
[EVO 4G Accessories] locknes101:
Both cases r pretty cool. But I need the speaker to stand out as I like to talk to ppl via speaker fone for the most part. Where can I find that 2nd leather one at?
[EVO 4G Accessories] MadDogMaddux:
BAM!

<edit: google-fu FTW!>
[EVO 4G Accessories] xlGmanlx:
i think its the same case, front and back
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Yeah it's the same case. I ordered it from here. $28 with free shipping.
[EVO 4G Accessories] deathsled:
So now you're combining your phone (which is already huge), a case, and the entire contents of your wallet into one thing? And then shoving that fruit cake in one of your front pockets? Sounds pretty bulky. I prefer my wallet to be in my back pocket and I'm definitely not sitting on my phone haha
[EVO 4G Accessories] locknes101:
That's my biggest problem.. tend to put it in my back right pocket. It's how I cracked the screen on my palm treo 755p. =\ all good but yea its something I gotta get over. That n keys in the same pocket.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
Lol, I am the only person in this entire forum that wears a suit to work every day?

Anyway, yeah that Melkco case looks sweet. I wonder though if after a while as the leather wears in and softens if it will not become loose and no longer hook properly at the top? These hinges on the bottom look like they might stretch out to me:

I'm gonna check out the one I ordered. If I don't like it I think I may order this one.

P.S., I HATE ordering online from a company who has a website that looks like it was created 15 years ago. This is why it is such a drag that NO LOCAL STORES ever carry these cool specialty items.

Thanks for the heads up, looks sweet.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
Please come back and tell us how you like it once you have received it - and damn you for giving me buyer's remorse! :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
Here's what pisses me off:

How come iPhone always gets the coolest stuff?

I would LOVE a case like that for my EVO - grrrrr.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I will. I just got the shipping notice today and it's coming from hong kong (couldn't find any american sellers) so it should be here in 1-2 weeks I would think. I was drooling over this thing a while back, and it was actually this thread that brought it back to mind and made me buy it. Of all the leather cases I've seen, I think this one looks the nicest- we'll see if it actually is once it gets here.
[EVO 4G Accessories] THunDA:
No ****, thats a pretty cool case..
[EVO 4G Accessories] mitchellvii:
Ok, it's here...

My new case just arrived from Boxwave.

The build quality is outstanding and the phone fits perfectly. The deal killer is the size and makes me realize why there aren't many manufacturers making EVO cases with front covers.

When you add the size of the leather back and the leather front, you have, as one person put it, "a fruitcake" in your pocket :) Lol, and I thought phones with extended batteries were thick.

So, sadly it must go back. Glad I tried though :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] str8henn:
Thanx For The Info
[EVO 4G Accessories] squick:
I'll tell you what. I've tried invisible shield and all those other expensive screen protectors and I found one on amazon that actually feels almost exactly like the Evo's bare screen. It's the best screen protector I've ever used, and I've tried a lot. Also It doesn't scratch easily at all. I've had mine for a couple of months so far. It's made by GTMax. If you do a search on amazon for "evo gtmax screen protector" you should be able to find it. It has that true hardness to it. Not rubbery like most others. I love it and swear by it.

this is the link- http://www.amazon.com/GTMax-LCD-Scr...WI02/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1293259085&sr=8-2
[EVO 4G Accessories] akastixx:
I do the same, except put the evo screen facing inwards, and my wallet in my right front (so our doesn't get stolen) also in front of my evo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MadDogMaddux:
you want to get pissed about iPhone cases we don't get? Go to the Melkco website and take a look at the Jacka Type models.in the iPhone4 category. *grumblemutter*
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
They are near identical to the Jacka case I posted for the EVO.

[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I own a suit. Unfortunately the only time I ever wear it is at funerals.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dynamicpda:
I looked at these three Boxwave leather wallets too. Decided to go with the HTC Messenger Pouch (for the HD2). It was inexpensive at ~ $12.

If I get a second case, I'll definitely consider these three leather wallets again. The screen needs better protection than the none it has now..

Seriously, are you 12?

Hmm, If I buy this wallet, then I will probably need to buy a suit to go along with it, and then if I wear it to high school, then I will get made fun of, if I made fun of then I will have no chance of getting a girlfriend, no girlfriend equals no date.

SOO this if I buy this case I will go through high school dateless. Is it worth the trade off? I think not! Hahah:p

But I still think this thing is kinda cool.:cool:

Anyone successfully tether their N1 to an Xbox360?

My Xbox does not have wifi else it would easier.

I tried USB tether but the Xbox did not want to see it but I may have missed something.

No normal internet at my house either as I use the N1. The laptop connects to it fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raggaboi:
What you do is teather to your laptop, then teather that to your xbox via ethernet cable and then in network connections, bridge the ethernet adapter to your teathered phone connection. So essentially it will go like this. Internet -> phone -> laptop -> xbox!

Well , since android/htc cant synchronise exchange tasks.. Is there a tool that only does

this

job?

I found roadsync and touchdown , but those apps are complete for email/calendar ...

I just need a tool that can synchronise tasks with exchange 2003 and up :)

Any1?
[G2 and Desire Z General] frax:
I was looking at that too, and I didn't find anything. I decided to use K9mail for my exchange/mail (using IMAP), the HTC stock apps synchronize contacts and calendar.

For tasks, since I didn't find anything good standalone, I set up my tasks in Toodledo and I am using the Got To Do app for that - seems to work great so far. I then dropped using tasks in Exchange.

An alternative, if you are stuck with Exchange for some reason, is to use a service which synchs with that or with Outlook, like the Remember The Milk "MilkSync" app, and then to use a RTM app on your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] NoFatePPC:
hey, thnx for the answer... i am stuck @ exchange, because i need it for work...

i also tried remember the milk .... it was working ok.

but remeber the milk costs 25$ a year + you need client software to sync the tasks in outlook.... so i decided to buy RoadSync , it only costs 10$ 1 time, i only use that tool to sync tasks...

I hope 2.3 will bring tasks :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidcues:
When I get an email or a specific task in an exchange email (and i use native exchange sync which you guys should have already! (why are you using 3rd party apps?? exchange gets to my phone a FULL five minutes before it ever shows up on my computer) I do this -

i copy the task from my exchange email and paste it into google tasks. (using either FF or Chrome extensions) And I am done. I open one of the many gtask apps available on the market, (all of them work fine) and its right there, synced automatically, and basically works beautifully.

alternatively and I do this as well as insurance...

i have a gmail account dedicated to work. My exchange forwards every single email to my work gmail account. So I have a perfect copy of my whole Exchange inbox (more perfect -- I have all 75,000 emails in gmail whereas my IT guy will break my kneecaps if I dont delete all but the last couple months of emails from my exchange (i never delete because no matter what, i may need that email 3-5 months down the road) So the work gmail is like a "shadow" of my business email and even better --- nobody knows about it or understands it, so if I were to be fired today... they would think they have cut me off, but I have effectively backed up 5 years of stuff I could use as evidence should I be liable for anything. (Nixon Tapes)

getting back to tasks...

in gmail labs... you can easily create tasks right from gmail. And once you do... you are done. You go out on the road....and your task will be right there waiting for you. It is so foolproof. I do some pretty crazy fieldwork and google tasks has saved my job time and time again and is one of the reasons I have become a slut for google.

it gets even better with Google Apps for Business... oy vey!

I also know there is a way to sync the exchange task protocol with google but it is complicated and is onlh possible when your IT guy is sympathetic to the google movement.

I think you guys are going the hard way about this -- the answer is to simply transfer whatever tasks you have into gtasks, and its effortless.

Another example -- I get an important VIP ASAP exchange email. I forward that email to my work gmail account which has the right labs enabled and type only "STAR TASK" and send it... that email goes to my work gmail and the "STAR TASK" provokes gmail to also create a task out of it. That gtask is right there on my phone. so easy --its a "ya gotta see it to believe it" deal.
