I want to buy this device but i've some questions:
Does the browser support flash content like youtube .flv or .swf animations?
Does The SenseUI and the rest of software work in landscape?
Is there a GPS Navigation software available for Android?
Will be released an Android 2.0 upgrade from HTC?
Bluetooth bug and Alarm bug can be fixed?
tnx all and sorry for my bad english..
Does the browser support flash content like youtube .flv or .swf animations?
.flv works but little jumpy, you can use the youtube app, or there is a very good browser called 'Dolphin Browser' that allows .flv to be downloaded to yoru phone as a .mp4 file. cannot tell you about .swf
Does The SenseUI and the rest of software work in landscape?
Sense UI does not work in landscape mode, everything else does as long as you have the option ticked for auto rotation.
Is there a GPS Navigation software available for Android?
Yes, you can buy Copilot for £22 for 1 map or £54 for all maps, or just as good AndNav2 works great and is freely available. Plus, GMN may be launched in the near future (fingers crossed)
Will be released an Android 2.0 upgrade from HTC?
?? Who knows? I woudl imagine at some point but I cannot see it being a priority.
Bluetooth bug and Alarm bug can be fixed?
Don't know the bugs you are referring to.
thanks for your reply, wilfmoralee!
The Bugs are:
Alarm doesn't work if the device is in standy by, but i've read also that this issue comes only when the sim isn't plugged..
about the BT, it can't transfer files, i've read this in many sites/forum and also in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586700) --> "Doesn't have Bluetooth transfer built in. There's a bluetooth app in the market, but it won't work until 2.0 comes out for the tattoo. Sorry"
Another simple question: can i record a phone conversation in "both sides"? Is there an app or it has an hardware limitation like my Xperia X1 that can only record my voice?
many thanks
i can't find anything in the market that does this, and as far as i know it's not a stock option.
hey
i know the tattoo cant send files over bluetooth but can it receive files over bluetooth?

As ridiculous as it sounds - it cannot.
You can send via bluetooth if u download a app that is called " Bluetooth File Transfer "
It's on the market.

That app is not yet compatible with Tattoo. It needs Eclair to work correctly.
Hope HTC will release the upate soon
Hey!
It's been a month since the last reply in this topic ... any news about those things?
- Blue-tooth problems still there or are already solved (sending/receiving files)?
- GPS Navigation (that doesn't require w-lan connection)?
- upgrading Android 1.6 to 2.1 ... possible?
I would also appreciate your comments about the Tattoo; user experiences - why YES and/or why NO
Bluetooth file transfer will not work. The Bluetooth File Tranfer app does not work with Tattoo on Android 1.6.
I assume most GPS Nav. programs would use EDGE or 3G services rather than WLAN, since you won't be connected to 1 network while you're navigating!
Apparently it's possible, but there has been no documented or official way of doing it AS OF YET.
Why YES to the Tattoo:
It's compact. Good form factor. Affordable for me. Good social networking integration.
Why not:
Bad camera, both for pics and videos. Application compatibility with smaller screen(not all of them work, but most of the apps available on Market work fine). Battery life is less when features like Wi-Fi, mobile internet or GPS is used(as expected from any smartphone).
Can anyone confirm that "hcitool" is working in the terminal? "hcitool dev" should give information about the bluetooth adapter in the telephone. hcitool scan should give bluetooth devices nearby. I need to know this before I order this telephone. Thanks in advance!
"Permission denied"
Thanks, ok this means that root access is required to run hcitool correctly. Did you root your droid?
This is the tattoo forum. Theres no root actually for the tattoo and yes root is required to use this service.

download link for the notifications enhancement is not working for me... have you been able to successfully download the file?
From website:

would appreciate someone posting the notifications enhancement here; i'm getting "Page not found errors"... thanks.
we have to wait, until HTC will fix the download link...
What exactly does the notification enhancement do? and will it work with a flashed windows mobile 6.5 ROM?
yes, not working here too...

looks like HTC is still giving us blackstone users support lets hope windows 6.5 come up in a month
i managed to download the office mobile enhancement update, but the notification enhancement one keeps dieing. To confirm, do i just put the .exe file on my phone and run it from there as i am stuck with using mac so no active sync and i cant be bothered to look into alternative software which works with os x to sync my phone.

I've managed to install Notification Enhancement update!!! I think so. Because I do not notice any difference in the new notification.
Well, the link is:
http://87.106.248.77/download/Driver//HTC Touch HD/BLA_S00349.exe
It's for Europe server. You should be able to figure out the IP address of the other 2 servers.
I used Free Download Manager to download the update. It should work with with other download managers too. I tried it on Google Chrome browser but it would always be diverted to HTC Worldwide page. Not sure if other browsers would be able to download the update.
If you notice the difference, pls let me know. BTW, I've tried BLA_S00370.exe, assuming that it would be the next sequence number after BLA_S00369.exe, which represents Office Mobile Enhancement file, but BLA_S00370.exe does not exist.

Thats the english version...
Im running 6.5 with Manila 2.5 and I know Im not alone in having some problems with Notifications... Do you guys think that this will fix / even be compatible with TF3D2.5?
i downloaded the file for the notification update and found 10 files (including setup.xml)...one of the files is rilphone.dll...so i guess there are changes made to the rilphone.dll file...

HTC Touch HD Updates
I've downloaded (eventually) and installed (without any errors) both updates, but I can't see any changes/improvements/new functions. What exactly are they doing/for, or am I missing something?
Couldnt figure it out yet as well...
but as i understand (!) it, the touch hd now shows notifications lets say p.ex. from certain social networking programms or rsshub (if you have configured keywords and notifications there) directly in the taskbar-icons.
when you then tap on them the well known notifications-screen (with battery, network etc.) is opened where you can tap on the certain symbol to be directed to that programm/notification.
But... just a guess. correct me if im wrong !
What i also dont understand is the thing with the office-enhancements... dont see ANY changes... *confused*
hi, i am going to buy htc tattoo in 2 days time. before that i need to know whether i have plenty of apps alternative to windows mobile apps.
i also heard that its a qvga screen, so developers have to sign it to get it working on tattoo (240x320 qvga screen). is that true that we may expect good number of apps for this device??? by the grace of developers showing interest in developing apps & games for qvga screen(old mobile screen)... ????
will it be future proof ???? i am also not sure about the availability of upgrade to android 2.0 from 1.6. can anyone reply to these messages???
waiting for ur responses.... if i wanna install any application on htc tattoo, where do i get the apps & how do i install it???? like is it like just clicking on exe files as in windows???? or is there any special way how i should install apps & games????
i know it may sound like a noob talk. but what to do, i am totally new to this android thing..... no idea on how to get it started & know more about it, android & its different versions of OS..... kindly throw some light on where to get all information about it & its uses over windows mobile.... in simple & detailed manner.....
detailed information is highly appreciated...... thanks
I switched from a WM HTC Diamond to the cheaper HTC Tattoo and find it quicker, and with more apps!
But it might be useful for you to tell us what apps you want/use already, and we can say whether or not they are on Tattoo.
As for 2.0 who knows, talk is it should eventually get the upgrade but not exactly high priority,
Info
I have also switched from HTC Diamond to Tattoo. I know that Tattoo is cheaper but I like it more.
To install .apk you can use HTC Sync. After synchronization you can find on main screen HTC Sync :Application Installer and you can use it for install any application.
You can use ASTRO file manager to install .apk from Tattoo
There is no problem with APPS, I already have installed even AndNav2, and There is a lot of software in the market. Something that Diamond doesnt have
This phone beat the Diamond with performance, software,easy to use and price, but not with the display resolution.
how about upgrading android 1.6 to 2.1 on htc tattoo ??? any ROM available yet??? i wanna try that version of android OS on my htc tattoo.... any input about its guide would be appreciated.....
@kashish, where r u from buddy??? u just vanished after u asked me a question??? fine... i wanna know if 3G is launcehd in India, can i use it with my tattoo with firmware update??? ur reply is highly appreciated pls....
Hey guys, I need some assistance here. I bought a Tattoo and believe me I love it - even coming from higher-end Android phones, the problem is that mine is apparently a Malaysian variant and there is no ANDROID MARKET as such - only SLIDE ME. I am not sure of the difference in availability off apps between the two, but I have heard there are only 25% of the usual apps on SLIDE ME as compared to ANDROID MARKET. Anyway, my main issue here is that I cannot get any Instant Messenger apps like Agile Messenger or doc viewers like Adobe, Quickoffice or Documents To Go. Are these available (even in paid form) for the Tattoo? I love this little phone and it is super-fast - but I NEED these apps on the Tattoo. Anyone able to shed some light for me?

Right now, I think only BSNL or MTNL provides 3G service. I just activated Vodafone's EDGE service, known as Vodafone Mobile Connect, and it works just fine with my Tattoo. GPS, Twitter, Facebook updates... all work just fine. I do hope that when more operators start providing 3G service, HTC releases an update to enable 3G. I am pretty sure that it's a software limitation and not a hardware limitation.

Documents To Go is available.
Oh really? I will check that out on SlideMe and hopefully that is the case!
i wanna know how i can convert cab files to apk file.... because i can see swype application for windows mobiles being available in 4shared, but no swype apk file anywhere on the net.....
i request here, is there anyone who knows how to convert cab to apk ???? i know it may sound silly.... but i am a noob here. i also understand that it needs to be coded and all stuff.... but as i said before, i wanna know how to do it step by step..... please......
OK -Documents To Go IS indeed available for the Tattoo users out there! Looking for a good IM app next!
Meebo's a pretty good IM app. Give it a try. Available on Market.
Hello, I have a HTC Hero with Android 1.5 from factory, I've tested Bluetooth transfer and it doesn't work at all. Does any1 know if Bluetooth File Transfer works with Hero 2.1 ROM? I'm rooting my phone only to have BT working ... anyone use this application from market? Does it works? At first sight it's cool but can't do anything on my Hero and the dev won't respond.
Thank you!!
Yes it works really well on the HERO21 1.7 Rom
Also allows phonebook sync with my bluetooth unit
So I take it you mean this won't work at all on the stock ROMs?
I'm looking for a solution to get BT OBEX, particularly contacts and V-cards from either stock or MoDaCo 3.
nope only on 2.01 or 2.1 roms for Hero support OBEX. MCR3 is based on 1.5 and doesnt have obex support.

I can launch the program, find devices, do pairing stuff, others are able to find my Hero device, everything works fine. BUT, each time I try to connect with a device it gives me a service search error with a reason: "return false".
So I think it's something related with service search only, then the program will work correctly. NOTE - It works with Acer Liquid driven by Android 1.5
Thank you all

Hi everyone!
i have my Hero for several weeks now. but i still don't know how the bluetooth works? i can turn it on, search for devices and connect with them.
but i dont see how i can send over a file???
anyone knows how that works??
Greatz
wes
PS: sorry for my english, i'm from the netherlands
Well i guess this will be a bit bummer for you. You can connect a BT headset, BUT file transfer is not working
The only way to get it working is to root phone and use a custom rom that supports BT. (Vanillain?)

It should be said that this is a limitation of Android 1.5 - it doesn't support bluetooth file transfer. Whilst there are some attempts to solve this problem, it should go away entirely once we get the official Android 2.1 update as this has better bluetooth support.

It's not the sort of update that you'll ever find on the Market - it's a complete new version of the OS (Android 2.1).
Not every phone is getting OS upgrades, but HTC have announced that Hero will be getting 2.1 and currently evidence seems to suggest it will be released some time in March.
If you keep an eye on these forums, you'll know pretty much instantly when 2.1 for Hero is available.
Regards,
Dave
thanx!
hope it comes soon cause i want my BT to work!
will HTC make it's own 'sense' like the TF3D in the android system on the Hero?

Lets stay on topic
Hello guys, so all you know that Skype just stoped the WinMo version with is very very bad But i wonder few things.. so for example i have few versions of Skype and none of them work on my Touch HD they just don`t want to conect anymore.
But on the same time using 3rd party software like IM + or anything similar you can use Skype.. what i mean is that maybe they just make the Skype for WinMo to not conecting anymore somehow..
I think some advanced peoples from here can try to "Hack it" somehow and we still to be able to use the Skype.
I mean that when you trying to conect maybe the Skype identify you like WindowsMobile or anything and thats is the reason why you are not conected and i cannot understand why then clients like IM+ work without problem this mean that somehow we still can use SKYPE no matter from all.
1st Idea is the latest Skype 3 to be modified by the XDA advanced users if they can make it somehow to work or identify diferent way and we to be able to conect to the Skype server.. in this case we will still use the original SKype and have the same Skape Interface like befor and etc.
2nd Idea to be designed complate new Skype for WinMo like some users start the project XDA Facebook so if enought peoples want it and need it can be done something like XDA SKype for WinMo
Thanks
Hi Tsalta,
I'm using the latest version skype for WM on my Blackstone without problems.
I can't attach it here as it's bigger than the limit, but if you send me a PM with your email, I can forward it to you.

Hi,
I've the same problem on my Omnia :/ (Samsung I900)
Skype doesn't connect :/
I've send to you my mail adress
thx ^^
how go get skype on 6.5
i have a tilt 2 and cannot get skype to connect either. can someone pm me or post the link. thanks
Wow, I was gonna start a new thread with question similar to this!
Well, I'm using Skype almost perfect on Diamond, Touch Pro, and Rhodium, so that means the Skype networks are still giving support to us. BUT, as all of you now, the software support for WinMo 6.X is also discontinued, so we will not have more updates on this. Does that mean is "free software"? Because right now Skype gives Iphone users videocall support, and didn't give to us, when we were more users from 6.X then that iphone users at this point...Money rules I think.
Well, the purpose would be to hack last version, or build a new one with videocall support! Could it be that possible!?
So many thanks to everybody here!
Hi Guys,
