Hey yall,
eversince I use PDA's I got this game called "Towers", by Xi-Art.
Best game ever is you ask me!
But now I got a HTC Wizard, and I can't get it to run Towers! suxx...
Does anyone know how to get this game on?
It does work on other wm5 devices, but it's not officialy wm5 supported...
check www.xi-art.com for more info...
Thanks!

I've got the same problem with the Apache Sprint PPC6700. I wrote to support at xi-art, which used to be good. They've never answered. I even offered to buy Towers again if they made it for WM5.
I guess we can give up hope on xi-art doing anything.
I've just re-emailed them, asking if they are still in business?
May not be the place to post this but I am sure it will be moved if not the correct place.
I am completely new to smart phones and just got my Titan.
A friend of mine has the Tilt (I am unfamiliar with the industry name) and after watching what he has set up on his I was ready to take the plunge.
So far I am very frustrated with the phone. I see the possibilities but I have not gotten into the meat of this device as of yet and he recommended this site... so... here I am ..
With all that being said.. I am pretty savvy on these type of things and I wanted to know what would you all consider to be mandatory downloads to this phone.
I realize that this is usually up to the individual but I would like suggestions on what the best initial programs are and why.
Also, I was told that this phone is not compatible with Garmin and Tom Tom GPS and does not do Sprint TV. If this is true, I am going to be upset as that is one of the main reasons I got this device.
After viewing the forums briefly I notice that there is discussions of Sprint TV and other things about GPS so I am sure it is just a lack of knowledge on my part.
My friend also said that he does not mess with ROM's as they can "brick" your phone. I might be interested in those in the future but not too sure about them now.
Thanks for reading and hope to see your suggestions soon.
you will have to flash your phone to unlock the internal gps.
i know for a fact that people around here are using tom tom and sprint TV on there titans, not sure about garmin, but the titan should be able to run pretty much all the apps hes running.
exept the tilt is a more powerful phone i believe, so his would do it faster.
Thanks for the response..
Is there a particular string on how and where to do this?..

Any one got this working on the TP2?
It crashes every time when I select Location :-(
No word from the developers as yet.....
No joy here either, dammit... I was gonna post something about it this weekend as well, but here you are, beating me to it
I've registered the software as well - looked to be really good so I just bought it!
What bugs me is the lack of response from the developers. If I don't get a reply there'll be a call to Visa for a refund.
Looks really good - can't be a hard fix to sort it out!
:-(
given my GPS reception troubles atm, I'm trying everything that uses the GPS receiver before buying. Just as well, if your coments on their lack of response are anything to go by.
Update
Got a response from the developer today.
They have asked for some logging, which I sent off to them.
I'll keep you updated.
Thanks I'll watch the thread with interest
*bump*
Any update on this yet?
same issue with HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) and Shift
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4420013#post4420013 and no reply from the developers
re
try the older version 1.32, this one works on my TP2, all others hangs up when you choose location.
also see tweak here
and i'm not sure i'm keeping it.
Crashes/locks up once a day. Pulling the battery is the only cure.
Opera crashed and I had to delete and re-install twice.
It looks glorious. The screen and animation is really amazing.
But the functionality is getting to me. I screen lock, and somehow hear clicking in my pocket. The browsing is tedious. Facebook app sucks. No "like" option. Trying to read replies to status updates is terrible.
Mail is not how I like it. Can I delete a bunch of messages at once? I can't see how...
If I return it, I have no idea what I would get...N1? BB Bold 9700?
My iPhone 2G was slow, with no VV, GPS, or 3G but I miss it.
I REALLY wanna like this phone. I kinda do... But I only have 5 days left to decide if I'm sticking with it.

i was almost on the same boat as you until i found some nice replacements apps and mods from the open market. if your phone begins to lag be sure to check your task manager. secondly, download a maintenance app called "free ram" from the open market. i use both daily. i also reboot my phone at least once a day to prevent lag. (basically every morning). i thought this was normal for all smartphone users.
also, download the facebook replacement app from the open market. it'll update your current facebook app to view and make replies.
secondly, do the same for google from the open market. it will add pinch to zoom features as well as google buzz. the latest update i believe is version 4.0 or higher.
hope some of this helps..
Also, you can disable HTC Sense in the homescreen. I just did it and my phone is beginning to make me very happy. This thing is blazing fast now.
i would recommend getting a custom ROM, but if you're using the T-Mobile US 1024 version be careful. i have never experinced lock-ups whatsoever for the last 3 months ive been using my phone
Am I the only one here? My HD2 NEVER crashed, hanged locked... got it from more than one month and it works perfectly and I use it for work, internet, games, mail, sms, mms and other stuff...
I'm starting to think that all people around here that start crying saying the HD2 is buggy maybe are a bunch on "LUSERS" that cry to their system administrator at work because "my computer is broken"...
bah...
never had a single problem with my wonderfull HTC HD2

Way to engender community spirit LOL. MMV, milage may vary. The phone has been out for about 6 months now (except TMobile US), multiple production runs, with various stock and custom ROMS and versions of software running on them. Users range from people who have used and tweaked Windows Mobile devices for years to ex iPhone Users to those who have never needed to do more than insert a SIM card. With great power comes great responsibility and these devices have great power. Some people report no problems, some people report great problems, but some people use it as a telephone, others use it as a laptop replacement. As a member of this community I like to think that I help support users with less experience than myself. Yes, it can get frustrating sometimes when people don't RTFM or search the forum's before posting. It's frustrating when you see someone slagging off HTC and the HD2 because they didn't bother looking at the specifications or read reviews before buying. It is also obvious however that 6 months ago the original HD2 was buggy but successive ROMS and hotfixes have resolved most of the issues (again, milage may vary). Unfortunately those users who bought the device with contracts and are locked into their service providers cannot always get access to the latest stock ROMS so are forced to use custom ROMS (which can be daunting to some people) or put up with the issues.
Good luck to those who have never had a problem with their phone. For those of you that do have issues, I am sure that members of this forum will continue to try and help respond to any questions you have. Just please read your manual and search the forum before posting, mention your ROM version and remember that this forum is made up of many cultures and humour does not always translate. What might seem like funny to one person mighty appeare arrogant and aggressive to others (again, milage may vary).
I thought this was going to be a short post when I started, sorry.
I have seen many problems listed here as I started coming down here (from Rhodium and Wizard forums) BEFORE I got my device. While I was waiting for it to delivered I had already downloaded custom rom, hot fixes, spl, etc. I am OCD and have RFD (rom flashing disorder), so I wanted to be prepared. People really should be better consumers and read.....lots.

Me too, had it since November. Absolutely love it.
Thanks for the advice. I use the task manager every couple of hours to close out programs. listen, I wanna love it. I really do. But the freezes and slow downs are frustrating.
Yes, I'm an iPhone user, but I'm not helpless. I just don't know anything, yet, about Windows Mobile. The HD2 hardware and HTC Sense attracted me to this phone.
Open Market? Is that different from the MARKETPLACE on my phone?
As far as deleting all mail, this is the 2nd instance where there were other options below the screen when selecting MENU. I just didn't scroll down...rookie mistake.
Thanks again. I'll keep at it with your suggestions.
Much appreciation for the constructive help here.

Hi, Open Market is indeed different from Marketplace. It's an app (OMarket) for the http://www.freewarepocketpc.net site.
Regards.
If you can't get along with your HD2, get an HTC Desire (Nexus One). Almost the same as the HD2 hardware-wise, but much better software.
You get lots of *good* apps, like on your iPhone and you won't get all the lock ups and bugs.
(I know, there are lots of apps for WM as ell, but as has been said, they mostly suck, when compared to their iPhone/Android counterparts).

Just in case there is any confusion, the Nexus One and HTC Desire are not the same phone. The Nexus One is apparently nearly half a milimeter thinner than the Desire Slashgear has a comparison of both devices here: http://www.slashgear.com/htc-desire-vs-google-nexus-one-2074966/.
Ok so i am new to android and i was wondering what i need to do to in order to keep up performance....im thinking antivirus apps or defrag.....im not really familiar with this kinda thing on a smartphone so i was basically looking for any advice...thanks in advance

I don't think you need to worry about antivirus or defrag. Pretty sure those aren't much of a concern on an Android based handset.
A lot of people will tell you to get a good task killer. But I have heard people argue against them as well - stating that android knows how to manage memory and that task killers can do more harm than good.
Just keep your eye on the forum for a while. Read whenever you have some spare time and you will begin to pick up on important issues.
For the X i have seen mixed results. Some people raving about how great it is, others experiencing some issues - random resets, 3g signal coverage.
I am in the same boat as you. Brand new to Android. I am still waiting for my phone to get here in the mail. I am hoping it arrives early- like today.
Good luck.
