Nope. Number will stay the same. They just activate the new card with your number and deactivate the old. Yes, they came out with a new version of the sim card a while ago.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
oh ok thanks. i really forgot to ask why did they put this sim if it's not compatible with the phone. I didn't know that they have a newer sim card.

thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCrozier28:
Well the one that you have should work fine. But like anything else they occasionally go bad. They updated the sims when they started upgrading the network. Just gives a better connection on 3g/4g.
[Captivate General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I am looking for free software to convert wav files to ogg. I want to create some custom ringtones and notifiers.

Thanks,Tomween1
[Captivate General] Red_81:
Try Audacity. It has the ability to export Ogg files built into it.
[Captivate General] PriTel03:
+1

I use Audacity for just about all my audio editing needs. It's perfect because you can trim/cut/paste/amplify sounds to exactly the way you want... and best of all, it's free!
[Captivate General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
That's funny, I already had that installed on my computer. Saw it but didn't remember what it was for. Used it last 11 months ago:D:D:D:o
[Captivate General] sola fide:
I use Audacity as well but for simple file conversions I use software from Koyote (http://www.koyotesoft.com). It's free, simple, and no malware/spyware. The free version allows you to convert only 1 file at a time. The paid version unlocks some features along with multi-file conversion.

They also have a great flv conversion tool for pulling videos off the web. :D

does anyone know where, on here, can i get some mods for my notification bar? like wifi and 3g and signal bars? i need to be able to use metamorph to apply them cause i am not too good at this stuff. i have done the search but have only came up with batts. any help would be appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Rom-Addict:
What rom?

sent from dinc
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mills23:
Clockwork recovery
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] BigD603:
That's not a ROM, but since you dont know that, I'm going to assume that you have the stock rom. Just look in this forum, theyre all over the place.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mills23:
Lol yeah im not sure what I got! That's part of why I'm looking for easy ways to do mods.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] byrong:
Don't worry: we all had to start somewhere.

With that said, if you don't yet know the difference between recovery and a rom, I'd shy away from jumping into MetaMorph themes for your notification bar for now.

First, I'd recommend you do a bit of reading on the terminology: roms, recovery, kernels, etc. Then familiarize yourself with how to make a nandroid backup and how to restore it: this is going to be critical once you decide to move forward with theming. Finally, people may disagree with me on this last point, but I'd recommend you educate yourself on how MetaMorph is working and how apks store their icons.

If you are semi-proficient with computers, none of the above should be too hard. In fact, you'll probably be surprised at how easy it ends up being. With a little bit of reading, and trial-and-error, you'll be able to find almost any theme you like, pull only the png files you want, then make your own MetaMorph theme.

You can open any apk file (like a copy of your system's framework) using a zip program (like 7zip) and see what png icons it contains. MetaMorph does nothing more than replace these png files with new files that you give it. A MetaMorph theme will have an XML control file that instructs it where to place the png files, which will also be dictated by the folder structure.

Jumping straight into MM themes without an understanding of these concepts is a bit of a risky move. Since signal/wifi/etc icons are part of the framework-res.apk, it's quite easy to throw yourself into a bootloop.

Again, I know some people will disagree with this advice: it's just my personal opinion. I know you are eager to tweak your device, but without a decent understanding of what you are doing, you could find yourself trying to fix a problem that takes a lot more time than my suggested path of first learning.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Rom-Addict:
I agree! Read read read, then flash

I just don't have alot of time with a 18 month old runing around. So I was just looking for something easy. :D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] samuraixzodus:
Droidpirate.com
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] byrong:
Understood; some of us definitely have more time than others when it comes to tinkering.

I'll make you a deal: if you find a theme that you like (doesn't have to be MetaMorph... could just be a rom that visually appeals to you), point me to the link. If I'm able to, I will make a MetaMorph theme file for you to try. For simplicity's sake, find something that would use the same number of icons as your current setup. In other words, if you are currently running a rom that uses a 4-bar signal icon (which is most likely the case), let's avoid the 6-bar signal icons. If the theme you want is solely visual in nature (i.e. no functional changes, like the 4 -> 6 bar change), then I should be able to make the MM pack and give you instructions on its use.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mills23:
Ok great thank you! I will get them together and pm them to you.
[Desire HD General] Nankov:
My experience so far..

Very disappointed in my experience with the Canadian Desire HD, I don't know what HTC are thinking seriously..here are the issues I had between 3 devices... dead pixels on the first two, third one has a misaligned lcd with the housing and the front speaker is tilted a bit as well, camera ring and lense became loose on the second day.. the volume rocker on the side is flushed, also experiencing crackling during calls every 10 seconds or so. Also the usb port in the bottom is tilted left.. please people check your phone as this is ridiculous.. other problems like flush power button, blurry camera photos on the sides, and dust under screen. Also speaker is a huge let down.. not the loudness it is loud enough but is just bad quality sound ( tin like with no depth mid base etc.) I came from and x10 and did not have a single issue with anything like the above. This is really unacceptable ... I wonder how many devices have any of this issues. Or is it just me that is really unlucky and got 3 faulty devices..

Just a little update - returned the phone to the store and the lady took out 2 more, checked both...both with dead pixels she took out another 2 first one camera lens again moving checked the last one they had and it was perfect!!! No moving lens no dead pixel, screen was aligned properly so i got it and left to go home, on the way i stopped at Tim Hortons to get a coffee and while waiting at the drive through i picked up the phone and what do i see.....a small lint behind the lcd with a few specs of dust..whiped the screen a few times checked again, double checked and triple checked and i couldnt believe it i was furious and the lint was visible on picures and everything went back to the store and got a full refund. Now i will give it a last chance at a different store in a close by city hopefully they got a better batch and if it still has problems i will give up and wait for the Arc to come out. So mad , i cant believe this not one not two but like 5-6 devices all with some kind of problem...

Update - i got another one from a city nearby so far its all good none of the problems i mentioned. Just waiting for the morning to see the screen under sunlight but it looks good now. I wonder if the problem with the dust is when they sealed the phone they sealded with the dust in between or is it just not sealed properly and the dust can get in at any time?? I hope it is sealed properly..dont want to find dust after the 14 day return period lol. I

s there anyone on here that has had the device for longer period or a previous HTC and didnt have dust under the screen?

Update - this one seems to be good, checked under sunlight and everything is ok, all the other phones i mentioned above were from the same store so maybe they got a really bad batch.
[Desire HD General] KevinNolan:
Htc always had problems with dust under the screen. I had a orange spv, orange spv 500, and s orange m3000 all with dustproblems. The backstone, Leo and desire HD no problems...
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
I bought my TELUS Desire HD a week after it came out, and I have had not one problem with it.
[Desire HD General] Qwest905:
no problems with my htc desire HD..
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
Jeez, that's quite a few problems. Go return it and get a replacement.

I have absolutely no problems with mine, been just awesome.
[Desire HD General] thenocturnalnurse:
Same with me, no problems or whatsoever. Just get a replacement, might be a faulty batch if you ask me. Tell them to give you the newest one.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I agree with getting a replacement. I've seen the front speaker housing misalignment on someone elses phone and it does look rather unattractive.
[Desire HD General] yohanpra:
Nothing to complain about my dhd......loving it!!!
[Desire HD General] c_felge:
The only thing that's actually annoying me about my DHD is the frame around the display. It's a bit higher than the display iteslf and everytime you swype beyond the edges of the device you can feel the improper processing.

But I learned to live with that *sigh*.

Apart from that everything is fine with my device!

Rgds
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
I use a screen protector and now the display is at the same height as the frame ;)

I've no problems with mine. Only the sim cover doesn't fit perfectly but it's okay for me.
[Desire HD General] LordManhattan:
No problems here :)
[Desire HD General] firestorm1uk:
No problem with mine but think it could be a little louder or maybe it's the noise at my works !!!
[Desire HD General] xhanatos:
Yeah, I've got a crooked speaker bar.. looks bad.. hopefully the case that I ordered would hide it. Mine is an Inspire 4G (AT&T).
[Desire HD General] vicedens2002:
No!! That's not a fault. It was designed like that because Desire HD has turn to mute. So they have raised it to prevent any damages caused to the screen when the phone is turned.
[Desire HD General] Nankov:
Just a little update, returned the phone to the store and the lady took out 2 more, checked both...both with dead pixels :eek: she took out another 2 first one camera lens again moving :confused: checked the last one they had and it was perfect!!!

[Desire HD General] evivbulgroz:
I had my DHD exchanged five time.two had dead pixel and the others varius problems like lcd and the lens not correctly aligned.All of them had dust under screen, including the last one.

I won't exchange it anymore and unfortunately I cannot get a refund.

I'm waiting for the LG optimus X2 :D.I hope the quality will be better.
[Desire HD General] gwmkwan:
i got my one from telus

it doesnt seem like there are thing wrong like you claim

maybe you should exchange for a new one
[Desire HD General] seanybiker:
the top right of my screen seems to be a tiny bit out compared tot he rest of the sreec. I only noticed it one day when i was playing a game and touched the screen, could kinda feel it move a tiny little bit.
[Desire HD General] imptb:
I got mine from telus and it works well, and as for the problem with the edges, I have an otterbox defender case on it so its even more pronounced. :eek:
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
That's a feature of the phone, it protects the screen from possible scratches when placed faced down on a table or desk to silence it as part of sense.
[Desire HD General] ken-ywk:
I've 1 on 1 exchange with htc 3 times due to the dead pixels and finally i get a good 1..

No dust at all. Have mine from beginning of December 2010.

Нямам подобен проблем. Единствено долното капаче ми се счупи, но си взех ново и всичко е ОК. Много съм доволен.

Поздрави от БГ/Regards. ;)
[Desire HD General] Daz555:
My first HD appeared to have been assembled by a drunken monkey at the end of a 12 hour shift on a Friday. It was a flimsy disconnected mess. Nothing fitted properly at all.

My replacement however is absolutely bang on. I have issues with the pure design of the case (not HTCs finest hour) but no problems with build quality on my current model.
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
My speaker bar is a little angled like it is supposed to direct sound towards the ear better. Is this what everyone is talking about? I only noticed after looking very hard
[Desire HD General] Daz555:
The poll in this thread covers most of the problems - dust under the screen, poorly fitting battery and sim covers, misaligned camera, loose camera, camera focus issues and various groans, creaks and gaps all over the place.

It might just be that early batches were a bit of a shambles and that things have improved. I know for example that my second DHD was perfectly assembled.
[Desire HD General] Nankov:
So checked under sunlight got a spec of dust on the bottom right corner :mad: i know this is nitpicking but it bothers me as its there, really dont know what to do now...
[Desire HD General] ShadowClon3:
wow alot of problems and i was sure i was the only one , i got one dead pixel and the usb its tilted to the left just a bit but its nothing i can't live with
[Desire HD General] Tones1971:
My signal drops badly when i hold the bottom of the phone. Not sure why they put the antenna in the sim cover, awful idea.
[Desire HD General] losjettos:
I just noticed that if I push gently the left side or from the middle of the display it's making a cracking sound. If I keep pushing it several times, the noise disappears, but will come back. Not a big deal, but the noise is irksome.

Have anyone else noticed this? Time for service? :G
[Desire HD General] yshrsmz:
I got my DHD few days ago, and no problem so far.

I'm really satisfied with this device.
[Desire HD General] Kjekse:

I have two problems:

1: My Sim cover seems to stick out a bit.

2: I have a 'bump' in the screen towards the bottom left so when I put a screen protector on it has a bubble in it. I heard of somone having this bubble problem before but I cant remember where I saw it.

I'll take some pics when I'm home. If everyone could take pics of their faults so we can compare that would be grand :D
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
It's either there or in the battery cover. And in the battery cover is worse. If you feel you should be able to have metal body and integrated antenna, talk to the creator of the Universe (whichever one you believe in - God, Allah, Mother Nature, Ham Sandwitch, etc.) about the ridiculous laws of physics he/she came up with. ;)
[Desire HD General] Ecki_94:
I dont have any problems:p
[Desire HD General] jaaystott:
on my DHD, the only problem I have, is that the SIM/SD cover when pushed towards the phone makes an awful creaking sound. This makes holding the phone quite hard to do without making the creaking sound. To be picky, my battery cover is extrememly stiff, and my volume rocker is at a lower depth than the cover itself! The main problem with my phone is the software glitches. What's going on HTC...
[Desire HD General] kudoboi:
my problem is that the sd card keeps removing by itself every half hour
[Desire HD General] anaskr:
my phone is perfectly fine
[Desire HD General] jaaystott:
I was on my phone when I typed that above, allow me to expand more on the issues I have had, to help you define weather you are experiencing these problems or not.

I origionally got my DhD the day it was released in the UK on Orange, un-brandad because it was the first batch. I experienced absolutely no problems, except from the odd Software glitch, however this was probably caused by the OS being new, and not fully tested, as there were a lot of OTA's released in a short space of time from HTC and they solved some problems.

However in March I left my phone at home one day, as I went out. When I came back my SD Card had been un-mounted and refused to re-mount or format. I thought this was probably a partition malfunction, so to my shock when I plugged my card into Linux it wasn't recognised at all, turns out apparently its a software glitch, a software glitch to completely break an SD Card, and no, HTC have not provided me with a replacement, however my carrier provided me with a replacement phone, that didn't come with a SD Card. So now im stuck on a 2GB Card which is preventing me from rooting, as the PD98IMG (or whatever it's called) can't be read on a 2GB SanDisk...

Anyway, on my new phone I have noticed a few defects. My phone has been in a case so I know that no damage could have in anyway been inflicted by me. When first getting my phone I obviously had to insert the battery, well it took me 3 hours of messing around with different tools to get the battery cover off, it was so tight and hard to get off, literally impossible. Eventually I managed to get it off with a pair of tweezers, and it just clicked off, didn't break or bend or anything. I never had this problem with my origional DhD.

After noticing this issue I had to insert my SIM & 2GB SD Card. This is when I noticed that the SIM Cover creks when I push it up at the bottom left of the phone. It's ridiculous it sounds like a cheap piece of plastic rubbing against something, hold on a minute it is! Another problem I have is my volume rocker seems to be at a lower depth than the battery cover and phone body itself. This is annoying because sometimes it will go onto silent without me realising, or even vibrate in my pocket without any notification or anything. Finally, the last issue I have with this device, is the Unlock/Power key. The right side of the key sits up at an angle, sorta like this -> / <- just not at that steep of an angle.

There are still a few software glitches, such as notifications not dissappearing after reading messages, or sometimes you don't even get a notification when you recieve a message. A fix around this is to download an alternative messaging client from the Market such as GO SMS Pro, which personally I reccomend as it is skinnable and very easy to use.

Hope I helped, and note to HTC, you NEED to sort things out. Chao.

[Desire HD General] tuningmania:
Hi,

Unfortunately, I have few problems with my "HTC Desire HD" :(

First, the camera makes blurry photos in left side;

Second, the "LCD" screen is out of alignment, no border in left and a one, even a two, milimeter/s in right;

Third, back covers (above battery and "SIM"/"Memory" cards) are out of alignment, too.

At all, very low quality. I thing twice, before buy "HTC" again. And, it is that, because I contact "HTC" directly from official web site, and they told me, to go to the service :( Dear "HTC", quietly brilliant and leading innovation company, I not agree to buy definitely defective mobile phone, in a price of brilliant quality one. I not agree to give about 600 US $, and a few weeks after that, my phone to be disassembled. Half of the parts are creaking now, what remain for after :( "HTC" can post in "Home Page" on their web site, some apologize for their disappointed clients. Sorry, I am still a fan of "HTC".
[Desire HD General] jaaystott:
Ayo tuning, I hear you man and your totally right, and them build quality issues are totally what's going wrong for many other people. Because I didn't buy my phone, I got it on a contract, I would be more than happy for HTC to post an apology on their website stating that they know the devices have quality issues and they are sorry. Although I guess in a way its not HTC to blame, they have probably employed some cheap-ass company to build the phones, and because of this its bad quality, still would love an apology though!
