This battery only 1000mAH - are you sure you want a lower wattage ; original is 1300 mAH

Added on January 14, 2010, 8:33 pmI have tried Miri, Dutty, Laurentius, Topix, Tom Codon and a few others . So far I find Topix 1.3 the best and it is very stable. I don't seem to have any bugs at all with it. I have been on this rom a week already and very happy with it. The storage memory released free is 234MB vs average 150 t0 180MB for the other cooked roms.

Gmail: Most probably you type in wrongly username or password. Gmail ( same as Yahoo ) - the activation and acceptance of your user/password is instant and your email setup immediate

Added on January 14, 2010, 8:38 pmWhen you run the exe file on your phone - after is complete it will softrest. This hotfix the application type is slightly longer than normal and it will overwrite the older hotfix ( if you have applied). While the hotfix is being applied sametime you can do other tasks on the phone. It will prompt you to softrest when complete

NO : it will show you a prompt that it will softreset

Perhaps you can enlightened us on your frustrations. I could be biased but I prefer Windows ( though it had some weakness ). I'd been "playing " with PDA phones since the FIRST day it was available - yes more than 15 years already. So much so , buying and changing pda phones is already a expensive hobby. Friends say I am a phone addict - I can say you name it, most probably 9/10 I have used it.

My personal experiences with Symbian ( all versions till s60 v5 ) , iphones, blackberry, WM ( till ver 6.5 ) : I still find WM serves my needs best.

Spore sets if you sent in - only HTC ( KL) NOT SIS will entertain. You need to show official receipt purchase - a standard service charge fee I think around RM 80 is charged once your unit taken in. It is similar to iphones/ipod Touch ( even with warranty ) - whether your unit can repair or not this service charge is payable

I got my HD2 ( local SIS set ) on 26 Nov. I never had SMS stuck in outbox since 26 Nov till now. Only one SMS was stuck in outbox while I just reached Spore when I sent the SMS to my son ; I discount it off as network issues as subsequent SMS were sent out immediately and all my receipients than had acknowledge. I was particularly concerned about this issue as I'd read in XDA especially UK and some Sporeans users facing this issue. This was one of the first test I did beside the camera "pinkish" tinge issue.

MY daily SMS daily runs average 30 /day and SMS are sent overseas to Spore, HK, UK, China and Brunei.

When SSPL /HSPL was available - I have since stop using the official rom and has been using cooked roms ( Miri, Laurentius, Topix, Tom Codon, Energy beta test version. 135VY etc ) and in all these cooked roms I also NEVER experienced any stuck SMS issue

My conclusion is probably due to SIM card as I change my Celcom sim card 2 days before I got my HD . I was having some erractic data download issues on my TP2 with it - my card was only a year old ( got it new on my Blackberry account). The Celcom guy told me than the new card issued to me was a brand new type with better and improved data services ; anyway since is free I give him the benefit of the doubt

So maybe perhaps changing your simcard will resolve.

Anyway I still update the hotfix yesterday ; as usual no SMS stuck issues. Immediate I notice in conversation mode the SMS loading and keyboard prompting up was almost immediate - a vast vast improvement . I installed the hotfix on the cooked rom Topix 1.3

1. Tag Photo onto your facebook : Select photo VIEW ALBUM : Menu - Tag Photo
If you want to save the photo : Launch SHAKE n SAVE ( install it if you don't have is freeware). In Facebook, select photo : View Album : when photo a[pears fully on screen, SHAKE the phone and photo will be saved in Shake and Save folder

2. I can view all my postings in one single page ; scroll to see more. No settings required

3. Battery life: Check whether you have enabled any auto updates - eg default weather on homescreen ; other programs you have installed - travel, currency, RSS feeds, Tweeter, etc ( esp SpB programs by default is set auto update ). My battery ( not even original type ) can lasts me a day from 7 am till 8-9 pm : regular check tweeter updates every hour; download emails over 5 accounts every hour ; some browsing - total time around an hour .SMS - 20-30/day , few calls. GPS sucks battery fast so better have unit charged in car when using GPS

Battery saving tips : Have screen blank off when idle - I set it at 1 minute ; set backlit to lower level ( or auto ). Maximise battery life - run battery flat and recharge it full : so far I did only once when battery was used after a week

You can update thro Marketplace your Facebook version to latest ; last checked was ver 1.1

It takes about just under 3 mins to fully install

Most reports on the net esp xda are positive on the new rom 1.66.

So much so, the rom cooks are also upgrading their roms to this new base 1.66/ However I am still using my cooked rom Topix 1.1.7 as I find is very stable and can say literally see no bugs with it. I do not plan to use this new rom as again the default builtin so many features I don't use ( free storage only 158MB ) ; my cooked rom free storage is 248 MB !!! Wow that's a lot of extra memory one can use - and is very obvious when you are multitasking and using browser simultaneoulsy with RSS updates/email in the background

Also since day one I'd never any issues with SMS ; anyway all the hotfix that were done earlier the rom cooks had also build these in

Most cooked roms has no Chinese input ; but recently noted there are up to 3 new cooks who builtin Chinese - eg LOST in Asia, Zenkinz . Anyway is not major issue - just installed Sunglobe font if you need view Chinese and if you need input : ZTA4 . More info on Chinese input at : http://www.mobinauts.com/topic/92734-zta4-...__fromsearch__1

Latest radio version 2.07.51.05.2 at http://download733.mediafire.com/fhb9dx2nb...DIO_2075105.RAR

Highly recommended - on test 3 days already - everything seems to be better in terms of reception, data download etc. Flashing radio will NOT erase your data

HTC released AGAIN another update to the SMS issue on 24 Jan : a 7.6MB download

http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload....cat=0&dl_id=812

Those still having SMS issue might want tyo try it. For me, nay as I do not have any SMS problem since day one

Let me know how it is ; I find that the slot to put spare battery is slightly bigger than the battery - poor fit ; so I'd to put behind the battery a small cardboard to ensure tight fit ; if not the battery connectors will not be in contact. The battery charging is extremely and very slow = I reckon is at least 3-4 times slower than original charger. Anyway it is really cheap so is also the quality

I also have another issue with it. Only the first charge of the battery the charging starts at RED and when fully charged turns BLUE. Subsequent charges the indicator is always blue from start - so now no way to know when battery is fully charged. So after few hours , I put into the phone to check charge level. Since unit is so cheap, I don't have any plans to return it

For clean ram : exceptions list - add manila.exe : it will not freeze/hang your phone

Open clean ram config program
Menu/Exceptions list
TICK "Enabled"
Under Running Processes - select Manila.exe : press the right arrow to have it selected into Exceptions list
Close
Run Level 3 : Guarantee you it will never hang - I have been using these in all the cooked roms and official roms

You still have to cost in your transport costs ( unless you are in JB). Anyway official retail in Spore ( non-telco commit sets ) is around S$1188 with 8gb card and extra battery. Price quite similar ( if not only slightly cheaper). The spare battery costs about S$65. If you have Spore friend contact and can "persuade" them to recontract a new line, usually 24 months contract from their telcos - you can have it for S$500-600 ( depend on telco). Used sets in Spore about 1-2 months selling about S$850-$920

Topix 1.3.1 ( based on just released 2.09 build 2 days ago) will meet ALL your needs. I have tried practically most of the cooked roms ( Miri, Enerygy, Laurentius, Dutty, Merlion, LIA, Oza, Romeos ) and Topix has always being my favourite especially on 2 important points : free storage memory available and stability. If you are just looking at purely memory CHUCKY 2.2 is also very good. When I tested the other roms the most it stays on my phone is 1-2 days, while Topix or Chucky will always be there until there is a new update

Very good idea ; I will definately attend - any day is fine with me ( cos I am retiree so time is flexible ). We can share tips and see how far we have modified our phones ( meaning rom ) and also the extent of interface modifications done. Suggest also open to other WM users - eg HD, Tp2 etc etc

The quick GPS is default program - located in Programs or Programs/Navigation folder. Infact I never even use this software as the HD2 GPS function perfectly without it. Using it supposedly will get the lockup signal quicker. I only use the QuickGPS in my previous htc HD / Touch Pro2.

In the root folder of your device : copy the pim.vol file to your card - the PIM file contains all your contacts/calenders/email/SMS data

Not able to go online ???? In my past over 10 years using WM pda phones I never come across such an issue - poor reception at certain places maybe

Please be more specific - what did you do before this occurs. If your phone can call/recieve this means you should also be able to use the GPRS : was GPRS activated or you have successfully go online before but this issue crop out now ??? If so after hard reset still same issue - could be hardware issue.

At COMM MANAGER - do you see the WiFI being connected or was your WIFI being shown successfully connected and you cannot go online ???. I don't know what rom you are on, is there a 3G option: select change to auto mode

I supposed you must be very new to WM. Just use File explorer /My Device : scroll down right to bottom - the PIM.vol file is there ( already mentioned in my last post)

BTW reading your replies would like to know what rom are you on : Settings/System/Device Info/Software version - what is the OS, Manila, Rom version. With this info then can advise you further what you can do
