Accelerometer Changescreen, way too slow...will work on tweaking-after freeing up program memory from push and opera much better
Tflo does not work in bing
Verizon apps plague the start menu- fixed
Pandora vga works but not really
Skyfire malfunctioning sound driver-when installing from app store no issues (weird)
App store as of now still blows-yep still does
Working with FusionPlus, but as of now not syncing-fixed
Verizon Visual voicemail not workingIf you are still an "alltel customer" you can not use any verizon app except vz navi (who cares it sucks anyway) fusion plus works great
GOOD
Screen Sensitivity and fluid scrolling perfect
My location weather awesome
Keyboard Suprisingly good with XT9
Zoom bar is integrated beautifully
Flip phone upside down to turn speaker phone on, impressive
Htc start menu very good
Battery life light years better than my old touch pro's
Volume in call and system, beautiful and crisp
Camera pics are beautiful
Kickstand is convient for beautiful youtube viewing on huge screen
This phone is very impressive overall. I am very happy with it. It will do very nicely till the HD2 comes along.
Got mine Friday after my Mogul finally bit it.
The Imagio is the 1st phone I've been able to really use right out of the box with minimal tweaking. I spent no less than a couple of weeks tweaking and working with the kitchen to get the Mogul where I wanted it but the Imagio is running fine and stable (with its bloatware).
I was able to use the Microsoft My Phone to upload all my docs, contacts, etc. prior to turning off my old phone and d/l all that into the Imagio with no problems.
Got TomTom installed with no problems, TCPMP and WVD, and all my other apps (after loading .net CF 3.5 from M$).
I agree with your Pros and Cons above and am just waiting for some smart Chef to come up with the tools needed to strip out all of the useless stuff from VZW.

Verizon Visual Voicemail is not free, right? That's why I haven't tried it yet.

2.99/month its worth it if you need to document or archive your voicemail other than that no real use for it only if your to lazy to actually use the automated portion of your voicemail.

$2.99/month... I got my Imagio on October 7th, and I've been using Visual VM ever since without issue.
Honestly though, i guess i was envisioning that it would transcribe my vm's on the screen so i wouldn't have to listen to them, but for $2.99/month, I figure I'll try it for a bit and then decide later if i want to make it permanent.

Volume Control Problem
Here's one for the problem list:
Sitting on the train listening to Sirius through my WM5 app is great, but you can't set the ringer to vibrate while the system volume is turned up.
Unless I'm missing something. I did find that you can separate ringer and system volumes in setting, but changing one changes the other.
My only work-around right now is to set the ringer type to vibrate then ring and hope that I can answer the phone before it starts ringing.
hey X-Man what sirius app do you use?
It bugs me I cant move the first 3 apps at the top of the start menu.
other than small things like that, so far I love this phone

You can change this in the registry by going to:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\#\
Where # = 0-3 and open the IsReadOnly key and change it from 1 to 0 for each of them. That will unlock those buttons on the launcher.

Ive messed with pocket cm and a few others. What are you all using for a CM? Anything that loads at least as fast as the stock one?
I use the Pocket CM .16 It loads a bit faster than .15. If you find other let us know.
DJ
pocketcm obviously.
PocketCM .16.
I use PocketCM also...just started actually. I'm having a few problems though. Any help would be appreciated.
1) In SMS, the keyboard pops up even when I'm using the built-in. I can't figure out how to stop it.
2) My outgoing SMS disappear for some reason
3) When I get a new SMS message, I still get the notification from the native messaging program, and not from PocketCM

Can't help with the last two. I get the notifications, didn't think of it as abnormal. The sent message disappearing was just a matter of scrolling down for me.
But the first with the keyboard popping up...
Go to the very top, middle of screen, press it, press "choose SIP" and choose "menubutton.nosip.tex".
If you're using PocketCM keyboard, that is notorious for getting "stuck". I removed it. You have to soft reset to get rid of it.
Thanks Frankenbike. That worked for the SIP.
As for the sent messages disappearing...they're nowhere. As soon as I navigate away from a conversation, they diseappear, and when I go back to a conversation, all of the sent ones are gone and I just have the incoming ones. It's weird.
hey, you need to go into mail settings and tell it to save copies of sent messages, then it will keep all of your sent messages there (don't delete them from the default program either...or they dissappear)
as for the sent message thing, if you look there is a cab file for a registry edit that gets rid of the sent message notification
as for the default messaging taking over... 0.15 would take over sms, but 0.16 won't... yet, it has been discussed on pocketcm.com, and apparently when the full release comes it, 0.16 will do that as well.
goodluck
I'm fed up with PocketCM. It's a great project and service for the community, but it's majorly buggy with every release. Not to mention, I've tried all the suggestions to try and stop it from defaulting as the sms program, but nothing changes.
I don't know what he's talking about when he says change your settings.ini when you received a new text.
I've looked at funcontact and icontact, and both seem much more robust and polished, then again funcontact is not free. I'm gonna give them a shot and I'll report back here =D

remember that pocketcm is still a beta program. its only v.15 stable release. I expect great things once it reaches v1
I tried Finger Friendly, PocketCM (which is good) and a couple others; I just decided to stick with stock. With quick index and touchflo, I can get to whomever I want to call pretty quick...
...and its just one less app loaded and taking room/memory.
Pocket CM Rocks....!!!! HAVENt used anything else. Love my Photo for contacts.. With my Outlook. Its great...
SMS PocketCM NOT sending
I downloaded PocketCM .19 a few days ago. I sent an SMS once and after that it stopped working. What can i do to fix this?
random access
I use the HTC app random access - seems to work well, has all the letters on the side of the screen for finger friendly scrolling. I took it from the all HTC OEM apps post.
FunContacts by vito technology looks like a good smooth app and loads/responds fast (very similar to pocketCM), but I will stick with Random Access until they integrate the SMS (coming soon!) <-- as promised on the website for the past 3 months lol ...http://www.iwindowsmobile.com/
EDIT: of course if Windows Mobile 6.1 delivers as promised with SMS messaging no one will care
definitely a random access guy, myself. tried pocketcm, hated the integrated texting. i like the texting that comes with WM. if there was a way to completely remove it from that app it would be great but ill stick to RA until then
I use icontact. Its easy to use and scrolls with my finger.
I like Pocket CM, much better than the built in WM one. Integrated SMS is great. The built in WM SMS is so clumsy.

You need to hold Send for about a sec or 2. he created a delay and i think on his website he mentions how to lower or higher the threshold

Hi Guys,
Thanks for lots of things on the website, I just got my mogul 2 days back and I am installing lots of app. One thing I really wanted was free GPS app. Now I liked msn live better then Google, specially as it was giving ding sound before turn. But I still wanted audibles. So, I downloaded nav4all. But it was pain in the xxx as it will only work some time. Even I kept google maps running in the back so it can lock but when I start nav4all app it will not lock. It only worked 2 times for 10 minutes.
So finally found following app and it worked like champ. I will give outdoor try tomorrow bit it was easy to install, good clear sound. Lots of setting and 2 different option to save bandwidth. I did not have to do anything to even lock on the satellite. It just worked. I tried some entering address and all that stuff and it worked great. I will let you all know more tomorrow after some test. Give it a shot as it is free.
http://www.amazegps.com
how did you get this to work i get an apply screen. i will look deeper into this im also using the mogul. thanks for exposing this app though
same
ive got the same screen
Did y'all follow instructions and write down the username and password they put up on the download page for Windows Mobile?
Apply Screen
Make sure to write down your user name & password, record it from the site download screen.
Pretty cool
Very cool, and it's free, but mine says it's Alpha version, and it looks like it does not have all the features it claims to have for other mobile devices. Also, for some reason, it does not show areal view (I am in Florida, USA). But I like the idead of hearing voice directions. I'll let you know later when I am on the road.

Hi Guys, I tried it today going to work and it worked really really good. I think UI is better then my Magellan. It shows POI's nearby and text is really clear. Route calculation was really quick. I am pretty much impressed. Now one problem is if you zoom fully and driving on the highway, it sometimes lags on refresh but if you are one level less zoom it works good. Man this is too good to be true but it works and the voice pretty loud. As this is just alpha version I think they should be able to improve it more.
This is too good to be true
I know it's alpha, but I have a few issues:
- US Maps are old - didn't have my area which is over four years old.
- Keep having to enter username/password each time I start - no way I'm going to remember that every time.
- doesn't remember settings (imperial vs. metric, etc.)
Anyone else having these issues?
Installed, ran...unimpressed
I don't really see the point for this app in the U.S. I don't know how LiveSearch and Google maps work in other countries....but this app gave zero new features...in fact, the aforementioned worked better.
In my humble opinion, US buyers, move on.

I don't know why you say that, it is not like you are paying anything for the app. It is free, gives you voice prompt. If you are like me who has unlimited data, you don't worry about updating maps as they will be always updated and it just works.
Also it has an no satellite option which will just give you direction arrows and voice prompt in which it will download map for the whole route so, even if you are going to the place where there is no data service available you will still able to navigate as long as you are on the course and as I said it worked much better then I expected.

No, I have to enter username only once and also I don't have to enter setting again. Seems like you have some write permission issue as it just to storing some values to say, don't need to enter password and other setting. I also have my favorites saved. I use it on HTC Mogul.
Just d\l it an looks good. Demo plotted course well but no audio. Tried WM5 and WM6 and sound is greyed out on the options menu. Anyone getting turn by turn audio?

I am getting turn by turn audio. I did not have to make any changes for that.
I tried this app about a week or so ago and it didn't work on my Mogul -- I just tried it again (downloaded the "now available" WM6 version) and it indeed works... Map coverage in my area is a bit weak, but I'm going to give the app a workout and see how it goes...
The price is right...
I tried this on my Mogul yesterday and it drove me absolutely insane! The maps for my area is seriously outdated and the navigation on the map is painfully annoying. Love the "Turn left at next intersection" voice though. Microsoft's Live Search is still my "free" GPS program of choice.

Thanks for the info. I only tried it in the demo mode and I'll take it on the road tomorrow to check it out. I may be one of the only ones, but I love Nav4All, also free, and doesn't need an active internet connection after the course is plotted so I figure I'll play around with this one over the weekend...
Good stuff considering it's free...but i prefer the tomtom over this any day! but then again in the free category this beats google and live only because it gives you turn by turn directions! In googlemaps u take the wrong turn, the course stays plotted but your blue dot goes awry! GoogleMaps doesn't even warn you that you've gone the wrong way!
need help
when i go to the menu map center on gps. all i keeps on saying is No Sattelites.

Do you have a Radio ROM that has the GPS enabled? If you're Verizon, for example, you're going to need to flash a new ROM. There's plenty of discussion on how to do so here and on PPCGeeks.
I've pulled this build. I stand behind google's request to not distribute builds including closed source applications.
what is advanced launcher?
it allows you to hide apps you don't use from your launcher drawer by dragging them to the trash.
Hey mssmison,
Your post says 320x240 res, but the decription on Vogue android says 320x480
Booted up using usual 320x480 fine, data and market works, able to place a call.
nice theme and pretty damn fast so far also.

actually, try 320x427 with lcd.density=160 for a correct aspect ratio while allowing the usage of all the apps.
very, very nice release indeed.
- using 320x427 with lcd.density=160 for correct aspect ratio while not breaking any apps (such as keyboard).
- very fast call notification (within 1st ringtone)
- wifi working
- data working
- market working
- very fast
- left some extra stuff, such as the rogers stuff (my account, ringback, ringtones), teeter, :-/
I set to 320x427 with lcd 160 but some apps like the music app is still getting cut off.
Also on the market I am only seein a few apps and games, not the full market.
I had this same issue with the 1.6 donut also.

Hi
What a wonderfull build.. Thanks a lot to all who have developed this. Andriod definetly is far better than WM (for me atleast)
Was able to install the rogers build. It took sometime. I used the rootfs.img that came with the zip but didnt work on my tilt. So i used the one from the basefiles-v2 and that did the trick. It took sometime to load initially but did work.
Things that worked
1. Wifi and Market. Was able to download applications
2. Browser working
3. Calling and SMS worked (though with slight issues)
4. GPS working (recoginzed in google maps and Sportyhal)
5. Import contacts worked
6. Music with good clear sound
7. Great speed
Things that didnt work or had issues
1. You tube connect and i can listen to music but can only see the first image that it download and not the whole video
2. For some reason I cannot confirm at this time the calling was going thru but wasnt able to hear the call answer
3. All new icons for shopping, Home, My account give errors
4. Standard things not working - Camera, bluetooth, speakerphone on call, the calibaration application always force closes.
Not tried data connection as I dont use it
Can anyone help me out with anyof the above issue or is this something everyone is facing.....
I will continue to use this version instead of WM ...
Thanks

May be tilt related with the calling. I use this as my daily build and haven't experieinced these issue. The rogers apps that are there are only for rogers network users. I had a request to leave them so I did. You can always hide them with the advanced launcher, just drag them to the trash.

About YouTube: when the video starts, go to options and select normal quality
Does anyone know of a program that will automatically end running programs after a set time of not being used.
I don't have the facility of touchscreen buttons now like with my old xda's, etc and would like to set the Snap to end stuff after a few mins of not being used instead of going through talk manager every time.
Cheers.
The HTC Dash 3G has a nice little feature that if you hit the back key 3 times it will end any running programs that have been sent to the background.. dont know if yours will do that or not but worth trying.
Nope tried that and that didn't work...
Would also like to know if this can be done ?

have you ever caught yourself typing a phone number, and for some reason you must leave the phone before saving the number, and then when you come back, the phone is already on standby/lock and the numbers you type has just lost into thin air? it's the same when you're viewing a conversation history in htc messaging. once the phone goes to auto standby/lock, the message you were viewing is gone.
anyone knows the solution to that? thanks.
The FM radio reception of HD2 is bad. The background noise and interruption really pisses you off.
the well known video playback audio delay of about 250 ms issue is by far the most painful, will HTC ever fix it ????

adjust your backlight settings so the phone doesn't go to standby so far. Also turn off the autolock feature and you can manually lock the phone instead.

The same one I wouldn't even know about without reading on here.
for me, the most annoying thing about the hd2 is that the proximity sensor plays games with me sometimes, combined with this useless phonecall-lock-screen (HUGE hang up and unlock buttons!) is really a pain in the ass. if there was just an application that shut off the screen when making a phone call until i press any hardware key...
(and no, i don't want an iphone-looking lockscreen on my htc)

not painful at all if you use tcpmp or coreplayer. just adjust the settings and you're ready to go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7119860&postcount=302
The fact that it only worked as it was supposed to for 30 days. This means that from my 6 months of HD2 experience, only one was proper.
Until we got summer temps here I was maximum satisfied with my HD2: running smoothly, once a month maybe a freeze (to be corrected with batt out). Now, at high summer temps, it´s completely useless: doesn´t charge in the car, freezes when it gets hot in the car in navi-mode (and even without navi on).
This phone is only for polar-researchers ..........
Here are a few off the top of my head...
1) There are no 'real' snooze options when a calendar appointment alert pops up (WORKAROUND: Restored the WM default)
2) The 'Cannot delete SMS messages when saved to SIM card' bug (WORKAROUND: Put SIM card in another phone, delete the message, and put back into the HD2)
3) Not being able to disable the irritating clock 'flip' animation when turning on the screen. (WORKAROUND: ???)
4) When locking the screen, there is no way to set it up so where you can unlock it via just the slider and NOT having to enter in your password (WORKAROUND: ???)
I hate its keyboard its so annoying ..its so innacurate ...whenevrr i use it ...it feels like someone else is typing not me ... ii press j and the keyboard detects it as m ....anyone got any solution ?
use slide-it, slide or type is good for me.
Until now i am sattisfied with the phone after a few cabs like cookie home tab and another radio. I don`t play games and use some apps for news and forum like xda. for me its great, i like the size. One minor thing is a blob in the screen which is expensive to make, because i don`t trust myself to do it.
kk
The only thing for me is the lack of apps and the keyboard could be better...
I'm running Elegancia rom with CHT and its transformed the phone for me, i would have sent it back after a week running a stock rom...
My missus has just got a HD Mini the keyboard is miles better even though its smaller, is it a different screen does anyone know, i've tried all the different sensitivity options with the HD2 and i've got it so its liveable with, but the Mini is much much better out the box...

I agree the keyboard is absolutly crap. I can`t believe that given the amount of ROM updates there has been ( I flash ALOT) that they still haven`t fixed this issue. I hate the Iphone but typing on my misses is perfect. 100% accurate all the time.
To be honest my HD2 keyboard is only any good shortly after flashing a new rom, it seems great for a few days and then slowly deteriates to completely inaccurate and painstaking to type any sort of message. I just don`t bother writing long text messages anymore.
The swype keyboards are just as useless as i can`t see the letters whilst my finger is on the keyboard.
I refuse to do any registry tweeks as to honest why should I. Just sort it out.......

I dont think a WM phone is for you then..............
Most annoying thing about the HD2............. people spending their time moaning about it when they could be sorting out the problem...........
lol... do you also "refuse" to take your car to a shop if something isnt right with it? what a childish attitude. winmo phones are blank slates, they are meant to be customized. if you refuse to do anything to change it to your liking, i suggest getting a blackberry or a sidekick.
anyway... one thing i dont like about the hd2 is the capacitive screen. i like the fact that its glass, but its SO damn inaccurate. i rarely used the hardware keyboard on my touch pro 2, i just tapped out texts with the onscreen keyboard with my thumbnails so its not like i NEED a physical keyboard, i just wish this one was accurate. i wish i could use my thumbnails now, i have more backspaces than actual letters now typing with the pads of my thumbs. ive tried every tweak too, its passable but still infuriating.
oh, another thing i hate- the sound quality. it SUCKS! same story too, ive tried every tweak & its passable, but still crappy.

3) Not being able to disable the irritating clock 'flip' animation when turning on the screen. (WORKAROUND: ???)

do you mean the sound from the speaker or even when you're wearing headphone? because the sound is fine with a good headphone.

1) There are no 'real' snooze options when a calendar appointment alert pops up (WORKAROUND: Restored the WM default)
2) The 'Cannot delete SMS messages when saved to SIM card' bug (WORKAROUND: Put SIM card in another phone, delete the message, and put back into the HD2)
3) Not being able to disable the irritating clock 'flip' animation when turning on the screen. (WORKAROUND: ???)
4) When locking the screen, there is no way to set it up so where you can unlock it via just the slider and NOT having to enter in your password (WORKAROUND: ???)

1. don't have a lot of appt's so I don't know
2. Why are you saving texts to a sim? Use microsoft myphone.

4. go under settings, lock and disable your password. It will ask for your password, then click the check mark (ok) and it will disable it.
