i tried searching about but i couldn't find anything relating to my question so here goes...
1) I was playing about with the FM Radio panel and i went about saving a few stations. I was wondering if there is any way to delete stations that you havev set for the FM radio? i tried searching about but it seems there is only mention as to how to save a station but not to delete one
2) Playing about with the phone i realised that panels can be uninstalled, are there any ways to download back the preinstalled panels should one delete them? (no i didn't remove any panels!)
pardon me if by some chance someone has made a post of what i've listed but these are just some questions i have in mind.
EDIT:
i realised that upon accessing the panel options for the FM Radio Panel and switching about the radio frequencies, it resets all the saved radio stations, does anyone else's sets do this too? (just for clarification i'm using the X1i)
seems the only way to reinstall the panel is hardreset, or unlock the extended rom.
The radiopanel is located in the windows folder.
On my unit I found this:
XperiaRadio_R12_28924_signed.CAB

Hello all,
I recently upgraded my 8525 to the new rom provided by att/cingular (actually it is provided through htc's website, I found the link through cingular) I have some questions and was wondering if anyone can help.
The rom update doesn't give you wm6, it is still 5. It does enable the push to talk feature, and rebrands the phone as att instead of cingular. It also enables "cingular video," which is a streaming video service through att/cingular.
Now with the newer rom there is a horribly loud start up sound. It sounds like an airplane is taking off! Every time I soft reset the phone it plays this loud sound, even if my phone is on silent or on flight mode. This sound was not there before I upgraded the rom. I went into the folder where the sound is stored and tried to delete it, it will not let me. When I right click on it, the delete option is grayed out! The file is just a windows media sound, it is stored under the windows folder, and is named "3G_Up." I even tried to do it through the phone explorer on active sync, still won't let me delete it.
I am wondering if anyone knows a way to delete the file or somehow disable the start up sound. I have looked at all settings and don’t see any for start up sound.
I am also wondering this: I assume flashing a cooked rom will eliminate the cingular startup sound. If I flash a cooked rom onto my phone, will I be able to use the “push to talk” and the “cingular video?” Neither of these worked with the original rom. The “cingular video” is just a bookmark, and I tried sending a link from my phone with newer rom to an 8525 with the older rom, and it would not load. On 8525's with older roms when you push the push to talk button, it says "the ptt service is not yet available on your device."
I am assuming I have to choose between a cooked rom with no cingular video and ptt, or just live with the start up sound. If anyone knows any other way, I would just be thrilled
Thanks,
Jon

Hi everyone, I'm new to pretty much all of this. Iv had my HTC HD2 since Xmas eve and it's my 1st smartphone so I'm struggling a bit with all the jargon but i am determined to learn. I have a few questions and work odd shifts so don't get the time to search for all my answers so I'm hoping if i ask all in one thread someone will be kind enough to provide me with all the answers in one place.

Now, theres a lot of jargon i dont yet understand so if someone could tell me what the following mean?
Manila
ROM
Radio
Cooked
Bricked
Flash
SSPL
HSPL
NBH
SPL
RRU
(I think thats all the terminology i dont understand ATM)
I have seen new versions of Manila and Sense posted on here, can anyone tell me the Pro's/Con's to installing these before i go ahead? Like what are they updating/fixing, and is it worth it? I want my phone to be its best.
Right, there the complicated questions (for me) but as i work odd shifts it will be easier for me to ask other advice in this thread aswel.
Is there any way to disable the hard "end call" key when in call as when I'm using my BT headset i hang up on people in my pocket. (I do have a CAB installed that disables it whilst ringing so i dont hang up getting it out of my pocket but it releases the key again as soon as its been answered)
Is there a way to stop WIFI disconnecting when the phone is in standby (I have the BsB Tweaks but the option doesnt seem to stay on)
Is there a way of setting the Mobile Web connection to automatically turn off when its not in use and back on again when needed (I.E if I'm browsing and minimize the app to put the phone in my pocket)
I see people favor the Igo8 and TomTom 7 (i think) Satnav apps but cant seem to find where to get either from, and help?
I can update my Facebook status at the bottom of my contact card in "all people" but it seems a bit of a silly place to put the feature, is there any way of making it a bit quicker to access? (I like the way it says "from my HTC" on the updated) or does anyone know of a decent facebook app? The best iv found so far is FIM but it crashes every time i update my status. Id like to be able to chat and Tag people in photo's (and tag in status' if at all possible)
Sorry for the lengthy questions and any help is GREATLY appreciated and if i think of anything else i need to know ill ask it in this thread.
Keep up the hard work guys and i hope to be as knowledgeable as you in a few months

Well for a new user, you certainly seem to have got your head around some of the modifications possible!
Terminology:
Manila: The HTC interface with the big digital clock and tabs. The HD2 comes with Manila 2.5 (= HTC Sense)
ROM: Read Only Memory, but for our purposes usually means the operating system itself, which can be written to the ROM of the device. There are standard ROMs like the HTC 1.48 update and cooked ROMs like those you see in the forums.
Radio: Usually refers to the part of the OS controlling radio functions, which are the phone signal receiver, Bluetooth and WiFi. This also contains the GPS drivers.
Cooked: A ROM that has been modified by a ROM 'chef' to make it either more up to date, more functional, or to give more available memory. Some better than others, and all technically void your warranty.
Bricked: A 'cooked' ROM needs to have the boot sectors of the device modified to allow the ROM to be installed. If this hasn't been done, the the device can get stuck in the middle of the update, hence the term 'bricked': it becomes basically an unusable brick. There can be ways out of it, but sometimes it's terminal.
Flash: The process of updating the physical ROM with a new ROM OS image
SSPL/HSPL/SPL: The SPL is like the BIOS of a PC. Stock SPLs don't allow updates other than from the manufacturer or the phone operator. SSPL (SoftSPL) is a temporary software fix that allows the ROM to be updated and HSPL (HardSPL) is a permanent fix that protects from bad ROM flashes.
RRU/NBH: RUU stands for ROM Update Utility and it is the PC executed process to update a ROM. It has a few steps such as checking versions, battery status then putting the device into a mode to allow the ROM update (Bootloader mode) then doing the actual update. The NBH file is the actual ROM file itself that overwrites the ROM. It is possible to copy the NBH file to a storage card and rename it, then do the update without connecting to a PC.

Hard end call button: I don't know, but I suspect not!
WiFi always on: There is a file or registry modification to do this, but why would you want to? The hit on the battery with WiFi on is enormous so keeping it on when in standby would soon see the battery expire. Unless you don't have a mobile data plan there's not a lot of point in keeping WiFi on.
Mobile Data on/off: There is a program called Modaco NoData that allows you to manually turn the data connection on or off. As above though, why would you want to? These devices are sold and used as 'connected' devices and mobile data is used for a lot of background updating like weather updates, MyPhone sync etc. An open but quiescent data connection has almost no impact on battery life, and only uses data when programs are set to do so.
SatNav: TomTom don't officially support the HD2, but there are many forum topics about how to get it workng as long as you buy the correct version. iGO8 is a bit different- it is not formally available in UK and even where is it available it has to be run from the SD card it is supplied on. Also, it is pretty expensive. If you have a legitimate copy, there are ways to make it work from a different SD card.
Facebook: No idea- I don't use it!
Thank you Neil, yea iv got my head round some of it, luckily im not a technophobe im just in new territory
I only want to keep the wifi on because i stream radio when at home when its on charge and the streams just stop when the device sleeps but thanks for the battery tip, ill remember to disable wifi when i know im not in range of any.
Mobile web, i do have an "unlimited data plan" but subject to fair usage policy so got me panicking a lil bit when i see its been connected for hours but knowing that it doesnt actualy use any data unless needed is good to know.
Thanks for he jargon busting as well, Iv seen that there are higher versions of Mania/Sense on here and im aware that they may void warranty but am i right in thinking a hard reset put's it back to factory original? If so, im happy to upgrade the version but what new features would i be getting? Id quite like the whole today and manila tabs to go landscape.
Satnav, ill probably stick with CoPilot as the 5 day demo it came with functioned better than my dedicated Sony satnav lol
Once again, thank you very much
If you want to maintain the WiFi when the device is on charge, the best way is to go into the Power settings, and set the parameters for 'External Power' to always stay on.
Even a USB charger is capable of maintaining a charge with the device turned on.
Regarding the Manila updates etc- you actually have to install a newer ROM to get these new features. I have to say that pretty much all the current 'cooked' ROMs have issues of one sort or another. Once the new ROM is installed, a hard reset only puts it back to how it was after that ROM was installed. You cna however always revery to a stock ROM if you need to.

I hear you man. Will have to do with crappy old Slacker until they release a compatible Pandora for the HD2. I know there's supposed to be a crappy version you can load onto the HD2, but I don't think it has all the functionality.

It's actually pretty good! You should try it before you judge...
there is a way. use search. i'm to lazy to find it.
I have it on mine! You just have to add your stations on your PC, and when you install it you have to set your left soft key to bring up the keypad so you can enter your email and password. it works though. i Use it alot. i have the file so if you want i can email it to you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654302
I found this, haven't tried it out yet. I get my HD2 tomorrow so I will try it out then.
The QVGA Pandora .cab works fine on my HD2 ... the screen is all jacked, but my bluetooth headset controls skip to next song if I want, etc. & I found the spots on the screen for like & dislike.
The link with the "fixes" for VGA/WVGA sound like a pain...I've switched to slacker on my phone, cuz it's there & seems to be ALMOST as good. When someone fixes Pandora cab for VGA/WVGA, I'll install & will go back & forth.
I dig the built-in channels on Slacker for various genres that I can switch to when I want a variety from my custom station(s) -> like when kiddo is in the car for some Barney & teen pop, or pipe the jazz through my home stereo when I'm cleaning house, etc.
Lol there is like 3 different post regarding Pandora radio YOU SHOULD USE THE SEARCH BUTTON instead of the the new thread button
I tried it out and I gotta say I'm not hating this Slacker radio but how do you create the custom stations? I guess you can't on the basic version the phone comes with?

Log onto slacker radio from a computer using the same log in information as your phone, create your custom stations. Log back into it on your phone and like magic your custom station will appear.
Hi all,
When I use the Sense Music player on my ROM playback starts and everything is fine. But after 2:xx Minutes It just stops. I may hit the play button as often as I want to, but playback does not restart. Only way is pressing forward or backward (< / >) but I have the same problem with the next track.
I searched a lot, some said this is due to broken MP3-Tags which I am sure is not the case with my files. Others say it's a specific version of the HTC audio Manager but other ROMs with "my" version are fine.
Here are some details of the ROM:
Device: SE Xperia X1
SYS: Build 29007
Manila: 2.5.2022 (from OBOE)
Music Tab: 2.5.2017 (also tried 2.5.1922 - same thing)
HTC audio manager: 1.7 (Audio_Manager_Engine_2_0_20113121_h)
What could be the cause of that problem? Anyone had similar issues?
Thanks for your help already!
EDIT: it's on SYS Build 29007
It might be an issue with SYS. I have had issues with audio manager before, and they went away by changing SYS.
I was planning to move to 29017 soon anyway so I'm going to know that.
Do you have any idea what SYS package could be causing this? As there are other Sense 2.5 ROMs using this build...
EDIT: just noticed that I did not mention my current sys build at the first post. i am having those problems on Build 29007.
Hi,
What you can try.
Make a backup of your storage card and format it.
Maybe some mp3 files or tags are corrupted.
I remember some users of my roms complaining about it.
I did some testing and as it turns out this indeed seems to be related to "bad" MP3 ID Tags. So now I just need to figure out what is "bad". This suckz bad as any other player will play those files correctly...
I will keep you posted.
There used to be similar problems to this effect with WinMo 6.0/6.1 and TFlo2D that I used to cook with for older devices (Wizard). It had something to do with power management registry settings relating to the SD. If power management for SD card/slot was enabled/disabled and music was playing from the SD card, it would stop (just as you describe with your symptoms). Check forums for registry setting for power management settings (or can use Schapps Advanced Configuration Tool as this has the various setting)
Check this thread (although for CorePlayer) ....maybe similar issue

I'm using this software to tag mp3's:

If you could figure out which mp3 is causing it you could study the tag and probably find the cause.

I am absolutly sure this is related to MP3 Tags. Playback stops even when the device is charged. And some MP3's (that are "good") play perfectly while other just wont under the sam circumstances.
Thanks anyway!

I will look deeper into that, thanks.
I played around with the MP3 Tags for a while now and I have to make two conclusions:
1) They are causing The HTC Sense/Manlia music player to stop playback all the time!
2) I am not going to change all my MP3 Tags of all 4.000-something MP3s. It's just not worth ist
If anyone else wants to solve this problem the tools to fix it are above. I'll just stick with MortPlayer.
Thanks @all for your help anyway!

Hi!
Is there any fm radio app for this type of hu?
Stock app works fine but it has a problem...the skin is horrible!
I searched on the forum with no luck.
Thank you!
They are all mostly horrible. What does yours look like?
No way to save stations by name
My stock radio app has same basic display. But I can live with that. My only problem s that I cannot apply names to the stations. It just shows the frequency in the select buttons.
But I see some images of the same radio app (I think) that shows a storage position (P1, P2, P3 etc) next to the frequency .
Unfortunately I cannot find a way to adjust or save the station buttons.
All suggestions would be welcome and highly appreciated!!
