Thanks guys...I must say this is probably the most helpful and mature forums I frequent
Link Please
Can anyone post the link please
the link is 5 posts up
permission denied :?
anyone that already got please post it on another link ? i really appreciate that.
Thanks.
maybe if you logged in proper... in the URL is the usernameassword combination - your browser may not support that URL schema or supports it but refuses to work with it. Try a dedicated FTP client if that may be the case.
wow!!!
yesss i got it !
and.. btw, it's PDF file (acrobat reader). I tried to copy it to my wizard, but i don't have the acrobat reader. I installed Acrobat reader 2 from adobe.com, but it won't open. Any suggestion for acrobat reader on PPC ?mine is XDA Mini S with WM5.
Thanks.
I don't think that file would open in a PPC acrobat reader - it's fairly large (heavy on images). That said, try:

Need O2 Atom Exec technical Manual

Need O2 Atom Exec technical Manual
hi everyone.
i need a technical manual of O2 Atom exec which is explain how can i open case..
My Atom's center of screen doesnt work when i tap with my stylus.. So i need to change.I find 320x240 screen in my country but i dont know how can i open and replace the screen new one.
There is no Technical support of Atom in my country. I bought it from Internet.
OR does anyone get like this problem and how did you solve problem?
thanks for all..
Neither where you brought you phone, there won't provide you this kind of technical manual. I guess you got to ask a "guru" to help you out. Perhaps you may try to search out the mobile technical forum (Sorry, I don't have url for u to refer).

Moved thread.
I would suggest that you start by reading the wiki.

If you post your problem, many "experts" can help you and maybe others will benefit from the advice. There is something inherently selfish about asking for private help in a public forum.
Welcome to the forum!
This forum is meant to be a community where everyone helps, everyone is helped and everyone learns something in the process. It is not really a place to find your own private tech support.
We all enjoy helping each other. Post your problem and it is likely that many people will contribute. That way other people will also benefit in the future if they experience the same problem and they can read about it in this forum.
So, let us know what your problem is and we'll all try to find the best solution for you.
And one last thing, on your very first post in a forum, it's not a great idea to ask people for their personal email to contact them.
If you want private support you pay for it.
So, please go to your local phoneshop and pay them.
Or pay someone on this forum to help you personally. For example, 25-50 euro per hour is a reasonable fee.
There is no free lunch. You have not given the community anything, so why would anyone care about you so much that they would go out of their way to give you personal support for free? Sorry, but you are very naive.
Also, next time please try to name the topic informatively.

First of all - no, your problems are not silly - and this forum is for EVERYONE. Sorry if it seemed that everyone was ganging up on you. We all understand that you don't have a ton of time to spend on the forum. Some people have more time than others and that is totally normal. People in this forum are from all walks of life - young to old, and from all different jobs and professions. A couple of us are in the medical field and we like to volunteer our time doing computer stuff on the side. So, don't feel bad - post whatever question and spend whatever time you can here.
With that said, you should also keep in mind that often times using the search function in the forum (and even the "search this particular forum" option) can answer you question right away and can save the forum from having threads with repeating topics. I know that you don't always find things via search. It has happened to me that I don't find anything, and then someone else shows me an old thread about something I was asking. But in trying the search function as an initial step is always good. It makes the forum more effective.
Now to answer some of your questions.
1. That is a topic that you'll need to spend some time in. Yes, you can play different kinds of video files, but you might need other software for some types of files. And depending on the video, you might need to convert it to an encoding that can be played better on the HD. Things like encoding, bitrate and resolution all play a role here. Like I said, this is a big topic you are dealing with here. This thread has everything you need to know about that. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446366
If you need to convert videos, then SUPER is a great free program. All the info is in the link above.
2. What kind of message are you talking about? Text message (sms) or email?
3. I don't know too much about themes, but I know there are some out there. Try searching the forum for HD themes. Or maybe someone else here who knows more than I do can point you in a direction.
Anyway, I hope this helps a bit. Your first question is something that will just take time to understand and eventually master. I knew little about it until I read that thread I posted. So, just give yourself some time and take the advice for settings given in that post.
Once again, we really are glad you joined the forum. We are all one big family of HD people eager to discover more about our nice little device, and you will find that people here are very helpful.
Cheers

nicely said,
sometimes i do not ask for help as i have read post where the reply was "why dont you use the search feature etc."
with me, when i am looking for a answer to a problem i start with one search and then i find a link to another thread after a few hours i do not know what i was looking for or i do not find the answer, it is here on this forum, but hard to find especilly when you have some threads on 50 or 111 pages and some tech terms are not known.
the Wiki is a great place to start and most of the answers are there, but not all.
i got my touch HD just before Christmas, i had a MDA Compact IV, tried most of the software that i had on that phone and some of it did not work, so i had to start from scratch, wasnt sure about the phone at the start only upgraded as i had run out of storage space on the Compact IV as the Touch HD had a storgae card.
Now all blinged up as my firends would put it, this phone it great, cost a lot but well worth it.
i am not knocking the members on this forum as they have produce great programs for us to use, and have solved many problems, but not everyone is a expert on this forum, and when 111 pages of discustions were posted and a problem resloved, this member was not known to this forum, so he is starting from fresh and would like a little help as some members would kindly give.
nice responses from senior members.
I would also suggest that the title be changed.?
It is not as stated a very very very importand matter except only for the newmember.
Thanks.

I dont think I have seen this error with anything other than email. What I have expereinced when this happens can be 2 things. First, when I set up email it takes a few hours for some unknown reason to start retrieving email.
The other time I see this is when I forget to set the right connection while setting email up. I am with att so when I set mine up I need to make sure I tell email to connect using Media.net in the drop down menu under advanced settings. Hope this helps you on that topic.
wahh chriss cross thnx for the replay and the help .. i thought when i go to check back the post someone was going to start insulting me with noob and stuff like that thisi s what i thought cuz i didnt find alot of friendly persons on forums genraly anyways thank you very much
i will start to look at the link u gave me about the 1st problem
and about msging im talking about " SMS " when i try to send SMS it says "Your messege cannot be sent" and in the bottom of the screen it says "Error Synchronizing"
thanks again
*Edit*
i did read the post that was made by "tnyynt" that u sent to me about video problem i didnt understand a sh**

no worries - I think the attacks are history.
Anyway, here are some more questions:
1. Can you receive sms?
2. Can you call and receive calls without any problem?
3. Have you installed anything that could be affecting things?
EDIT: By the way, here is a link to this forum's Wiki with HD tips. It might be helpful for you in general to become more and more familiar with your new HD. So far we have 43 tips and I'm sure the list will keep growing. And here is a link the to Wiki for programs working and not working on the HD. Both of those are updated whenever something new comes up.
About SMS
Are you sending sms using the e-mail tab in the TouchFLO 3D?

HI Alamaai,
i disagree with some harsh answers. However, it is important to understand that the difference between this forum and HTC Support is the same difference between a self-service and a restaurant with waiters. the food is here and is for free, but nobody is supposed to take you the dishes and you have to walk around and find the food you need. if you really don't find the food, and it is a large restaurant, then you can ask somebody that will probably give you the right hint if we build/add additional information interesting to everybody else.
Nobody here is paid to do this, and we all invest our own private free time to build information which is useful to ourselves.
So...welcome to the XDA self-service! food is great, fellows are nice!
...and this email contributes in building information: if you would have SEARCHED for it, you wouldn't have created your thread!
All the best!
hey sms works now it was from the number that i have to put in sms service
thanks

i can understand how enoying it can be for users to be asked the smae questions, but sometimes it helps to be pointed in the right direction.
when i do ask for help i do not except all the work to be done for me, but sometimes i might not know where to look or someone else on this forum has read or seen a thread relating to my problem.
A user was asking how can he get analogue clocks on his Touch HD.
it can not be done at the moment but i saw a thread where a user installed a Wa2 theme for his phone which had a annalogue clock, all i did was show him the thread, it would have been the last place he would have looked as it was posted in the "Post Your HD Screens" thread.
a little help goes a long way.
A basic intro to video conversion

Yeah -
Glad to hear it got solved.
And now in terms of the video thing, here is a basic introduction.
PLEASE SEE UPDATED VERSION OF THIS POST IN THE WIKI
Keep in mind I am absolutely no expert - and so the video experts here might cringe at my explanation. So if any of you experts out there want to correct me - PLEASE DO - I always like learning new things.
Okay, different things affect how your HD will play a video. The more the processor is pushed to its limits the poorer the quality you will see when playing a video. So, the trick is to find a happy medium between some of the main contributers to quality and processor drain.
1. The bitrate (kbps) is a measure for how much data information is being processed per second. The higher this number, the better the picture, but it also means the processor needs to work harder.
2. The resolution (or scale size) refers to the number of pixels (width x height) that the video will be shown in (at a natural 100% zoom). The higher the resolution, the clearer the picture - but also more work for the HD.
3. The frames per second (fps): A video is basically made up of a bunch of individual frames (or pictures) that are played really fast one after the other. You will often see settings between 23 and 30 fps. I have to say that I don't really see much difference here. However, sometimes if the audio is not properly synchronized with the video after you have done the conversion, they recommend you check what the fps of the original video was, and then keep it the same on your settings for conversion.
4. The aspect ratio is basically the shape the video will be in. 3:4 is your standard TV type size, while 16:9 or 16:10 are common wide screen formats. I personally like the wide screen formats. There are other aspect ratios, but these are the really common ones. Ideally you want an aspect ratio that will be as close as possible to the aspect ratio of the monitor or screen that you will be viewing the video it. That way it just fits nicer.
5. And finally the audio encoding. It also has different settings. Basically four things:
Type of encoding (for example mp3, AC3 or AAC etc.)
Bitrate (kbps - same concept as in video bitrate): Common is around 128kbps
Sampling frequency (in Herz: Hz): Common is 44100 Hz
Mono (1 channel) vs. Stereo (2 channels) sound. There is also 6-channels for surround sound, but that won't do much on your HD.
So, there you have the main things that you should be familiar with. And now, all those settings can be packaged up in different ways. That brings us to the OUTPUT settings for conversion. The goal is to achieve the smallest possible file size with the best possible video quality.
You can look at it as a container that holds a specific formula or encoding inside. Container formats are, for example, .avi, .mp4 and many others. However, the "formula" inside these containers can vary a lot. That is the "encoding" or "codec". Some examples are divx, xvid, MPEG-4, .h263, .h264 etc. So, two different videos might both have file names ending in .avi (the container), but have a totally different encoding inside that container. One might be an xvid and the other one an MPEG-4 - or whatever.
If you use SUPER to convert videos, you see how it is nicely broken up into the different categories for you to choose settings. See the picture I attached. You can either play with different settings, or you can use settings that other people have posted and said they worked well for them.
The HD is limited as to what it can play. So depending on the container and codec used, you can use the HD's album program to play the video or you might need third-party programs like CorePlayer (for example to play divx). The thread I posted earlier shows what different people have tried and how their experience was when using the HD's native album player, or the HD's Windows Media Player or third-party software like CorePlayer.
There is one more thing... called "hardware acceleration". It is a technology that greatly improves how smooth a video is, especially in fast scenes with lots of movement. It involves a piece of hardware (hardware accelerator - like a graphics card) as opposed to just the software. The HD is equipped with this technology, and so its native player can use it. However, programs like CorePlayer don't support the use of a hardware accelerator yet - but CorePlayer has the advantage of being able to play codecs (like divx) that the HD alone cannot play. It's all a give-and-take trying to see what works best.
I tried several players and ended up staying with the HD's native album player with its hardware acceleration. But to get the best quality I end up having to convert most of my videos, and that can be quite time consuming. Everyone has different opinions on that. Some people love CorePlayer.
Sooo, I hope this basic introduction helps you understand other threads a bit better. If you have questions - just ask. I'm not an expert in this, but other people here are pretty knowledgeable when it comes to that.
Cheers

Thank you. And yes, if it will help others - then I'd gladly do a wiki for it. I've never done a wiki before (I've only edited them) - so I don't really know where or how one is made. But, I'll check out your link.
EDIT: Thanks HDuser for the fixing the formatting.
Here is the link to the new wiki regarding this topic.
