Is it just me or do any of you noticed how vague the descriptions for the camera, sd card and sms fix are? I mean there is nothing specific about what exactly is fixed. As an example:
Update for HTC HD2 SD Card Storage Capacity
This update for HTC HD2 further extends support of the SD Storage Capability. Taking pictures with your 5 Megapixel lens and dual LED flash can only truly be appreciated at the maximum quality, and now with this update, you will be able to appreciate how much more you can store in your 8GB or more SD Card.
What does that mean? More efficient compression of photos, or support for bigger cards eg 32GB? I tested before and after shots and do not see a decrease in files sizes of photos taken so your guess is as good as mine.
Then this:
Update for HTC HD2 – SMS Function Update
This update for HTC HD2 messaging lets you reach out to your friends and family with instant notifications. Keeping in touch has always been very important, and this update delivers just that: fast and reliable SMS messaging.
Is it a fix for the stuck sms in outbox? Again it does not state exactly what was fixed. Is it because HTC does not want to admit to bugs? Then why do we need these updates?
I prefer straight-to-the-point logs of what exactly these update does. I would have skipped the sms update if I knew it only fixes the stuck sms as I do not have that problem so why fix something that is not broken.
Maybe I am not brilliant enough to read what's on HTC's mind with these vague updates. Quietly Brilliant indeed.
any complaints/hatred , please direct to HTC .

I am SO with you on this. Very annoying!
Release notes? In general, a proper description of a bug fix should not require use of drivel like "keeping in touch has always been very important" - nor is it written by the marketing department.
EDIT: You'll be happy to know HTC just posted a new fix for the calendar view (though the download link is currently broken). Another meaningful description!
Update for HTC HD2 Calendar View
This update for HTC HD2 expands the dynamic nature of the Calendar application. Whether your week starts on Monday or Sunday, allowing you to view appointments occurring tomorrow, next week, or even next month.

I have some theories on what it might fix, but you'll get no clues from the description...
Ahhh... The great "everything is good, even if some things are terrible" methodology of HTC.
I'm starting to think that they take one week to write the actual bug fix, and two weeks to write the description that goes along with it.
Link for calendar view doesnt work for me...when I press download new site opens saying that the page doesnt exist...
Not so sure about how quietly brilliant the "fixes" are.
SMS fix: Removes auto-lock and some email capability
Camera fix: Causes phone to freeze
Perhaps there is something wrong with my phone. I'm using the most up-to-date HTC rom as well.

You got the exact same "Page not found..." error earlier this month when HTC first listed the 1.48 ROM on the downloads page for the HD2. The download was listed a day or two before the actual file was available...
Not on the HTC website any more, and neither is the 1.48 ROM?!

No hatred. Just wanted to see if I am alone in feeling that HTC is being vague with their fixes and I have directed this to HTC so I will feedback to the forum if there are any response from them.
As for getting more info from this forum, I think it would not have been necessary if HTC had made clear what was exactly fixed, because this forum can only provide educated guesses on what HTC did with the updates. Nothing like hearing it from the horses mouth.

It is still there if you follow the link in Post #3. I just downloaded it and it says this is applicable for ALL Roms. I wonder why it was removed from the main site. This is exactly what I mean. The Read Me is so vague I am wondering if I should apply the patch and since it was removed, are ther problems with it... hmmm.
after the SD update my i can now store 9862, before it was 5028
Yeah i've made this point in other threads elsewhere in the forum. The hotfix descriptions are infuriating. HTC should be explicit about what the fix is supposed to actually fix. Otherwise, how is the user-base supposed to assess the effectiveness of the patch? Descriptions for these updates should not be written like sales pitches; we've already bought the device! They should be written in a functional, technical way, detailing precisely what has changed. I actually find this issue far more frustrating than the bugs themselves. It's patronising to customers, and unprofessional.
It seems to have fixed the capitalisation issue. What it has not done is addressed the facts that (1) it won't let you start typing until it's loaded all the messages between you and that person which takes ages if you have more than about 20 messages between you, and (2) that it randomly goes over to number mode completely unprompted and the only way to type letters is to go landscape full QWERTY.
They could do with sorting this out.

No he's not a smart a**. He's actually a quite helpful member of this forum. His suggestion to search is that standard answer by anyone who's been around and/or contributed to this forum for any amount of time.
The point of the Search function is to try and get newbies and the inexperianced to look for the answers themselves and not make other members repeat the same information over and over for every new member that is either too lazy to search and read or just doesn't know that the Search function exists. The information posted here is so far and above what your carrier or software or hardware vendor could provide you for any price and it's available for FREE. So respect the forum and respect the members or go call your service provider for answers. (HA)
You are in no position to tell anyone, especially a Senior member to "shut up" if they don't have an answer.

@evilhomer - thanks for the support.
@wratran - so the seaching or reading is working for you obviously since you found one of those links I was talking about.
To the topic - I wish we could get the UA bypassed in WM6 PIE since I do not like NetFront. I think pappl is looking into it.

wpbear, have you tried this solution to the UA problem? PAPPL and some Europe users were having the same issues and he made a .zip with some files to replace the default files that are keeping PIE from sending out the changed UA in the registry

I am happy to report this works and I will be posting two cabs shortly to make this install the two files and make the reg fix. One cab will be just the fix and the other will be a realplayer all in one fix.
EDIT: Here are the CABS
EDIT- Cabs removed- the fix by pappl causes some to have email problems. If you still want his fix since it works for most people then go to his thread.
Glad it works for Cingular Video as well. Nice work making the .cab files!

Exactly what has changed in this forum when people who are upstanding members of this community, like wpbear are put down and attacked by "big shots" who want to show they are better than the others on here? wpbear's comments were valid and to the point. It's really quite annoying on a **developers** web site to have the same questions asked over and over again. wratran--get over yourself. So, you can search. Yay. How about you post the results of your search without the person attacks next time, huh?
This forum is NOT for kiddies who are just learning how to make a phone call. It is, in my opinion, a forum designed for DEVELOPERS who actually understand what they are doing! There are n00bie forums around that will fit you better. HowardForums.com comes to mind...
I rest my case....
you noticed wpbear finally post a link to help a member...instead of making smart AS* remark. Look at his first response after the question was asked...and see how obnixious he was...
The search function on this forum does not work very well. I did not get that link by using the search command.
Since I have still not upgraded to WM6 (holding out for WMXL 3.0), I can confirm it works on WM5 AKU 3.3 with PIE. Awesome work guys, I really didn't like Netfront and now it's bye-bye gone!
Huge problem with this fix with outlook email not opening. Email list opens and then the message will try to open but it freezes. Have to close poutlook to get out of it and still can't view emails until HR. I veriefied it is was by installing each app I Had one a a time. I havenot tried this again with the manuall fix and checking email. I will try later.
Edit-The webview dll is causing the email and sms problem but without it the favorites links in pie do not work.
Ugh... yeah, I can definitely confirm that problem!
Is it possible to fix without a hard reset? (I haven't looked inside your cab yet.) I just got all my apps reinstalled and set up on the latest LVSW!
some reason i did not have the outlook problems.
i am using wm6 black 1.2 version with netfront 3.3 and shogun realplayer. i followed the instruction from lokemup and it works.
to many things to comment on here... so i will just tell everyone to place nice or i will lock this thread, since there was already a massive thread on this....
dont know if this was posted yet, i searched but didnt find it here...
another update on HTC webpage for AGPS.... hmmm.. what about releasing update for sound or sms or other major problems????
PS: i am not allowed to post links - i need 4 more posts
Yup, saw that on HTC's website. I've applied the SMS fix, but still some of my READ SMSs are still UNREAD. Some SMSs are also crumped into one row were the text looks really mumble jumbled.

This is only available on the Hong Kong (English) version of the site, so it may not be applicable to our ROMS. However normally they do state which ROM the update is designed for but not in this instance so it may work.
This won't work in UK as we use a different sort of A-GPS.
I have just patch with LEO08007 (HTC SMS update function) UK, HTC support site.
However, the most annoying thing is
-gsm (Random) and bunched up timestamp with long text message.
not only that the date is wrong for the UK. It now shows (month/day/year) instead of the uk (day/month/year) in htc message (all white background with black text)
in the HTC sense message (all black background with white text) - touch in bottom half then stroke up, you will see older message. Find one 2 days or older, it shows the correct date???
I cannot seem to resolve this but this is annoying me ;-p
All else, it is much quicker, loading, typing away, no noticable lag (not sure if this to with facebook linking)
I have been searching for hours using this but cannot find a direct discussion or fix on the points above Any helpers?
By the way i have checked the regions, the time, date etc. And they are correct.
It is only when I have applied the latest sms update function (14/01/2010). That all the date are in wrong order ie. (month/day/year) instead of previously (day/month/year).
Secondly it seem to apply the "-gsm" at the end message randomly!
Thirdly the date stamp and last sentence of long text message are ovelapping/bunched up.
Anyway, it be reassuring if some one can post to confirm whether they have the same problem.
Email fired off to HTC as i think this is potentially another bug.
yes, everybody has the same problem if u bother to read the heavily discussed topics.
u could try changing to a smaller font size for any 'bunching' problems. it did work for mine
Yes for your information I did research as much as i could, all i can see is sms not being sent/hanging about in the main inbox being the main cuplrit resulting from the new sms update.
So I do not appreciate your tone of language. I did bother to read thank you! This is a forum to seek advice from fellow colleagues about their experience and share any solutions not to slate someone for trying the best to find this information.
The bunching makes no different on the smallest text as it still bunched over.
I actually got a response from HTC who are looking into this given that i have sent the picture describing the problems I have encountered.

New Response From [ Steven (UK - Ireland Support (Tech)) ]
Hi
Thank you for your enquiry
It does seem that the HD2 may have experienced a technicality issue regarding SMS..This is being looked into..BUT with regards to network locked devices we cannot provide information regarding any updates regarding your network..You will have to contact O2 regarding this to see if indeed any updates will become available...OR visit our website to see if we have updates for O2 within the next couple of weeks.
Best regards
Steve
HTC
******************************************************************
Received a response and it looks like there will be something in the next 2 weeks.
I am happy to receive a response acknowledging this!
Coincidentally the UK SMS update function is no longer listed on their website or any HTC website!
So the previously released SMS update patch is definately pant!
I just hope there is solid fix on such an integral function of a mobile phone which need to be reliable, efficient and works.
<quote> OR visit our website to see if we have updates for O2 within the next couple of weeks. </quote>
Not wishing to sound too negative, but having worked in various support roles for various companies, large and small, the above statement certainly wouldnt lead me to believe there is something due that they are keeping quiet about, it is a 'bother us later' answer, meaning 'go away while we look into it, but we don't want to say yes or no, so here is a maybe to keep your hopes up'.
Still., it would be nice.
Hi peoples,
I have had a windows mobile phone for years, mostly thanks to the support of people on here who have been able to answer virtually every question about tweaks, enhancements etc and therefore stopped me throwing it out of the window. I currently have an HD2 and, again thanks to the people on here, I love it.
The only problem I've had is being able to find the tweaks and CABs without trawling through pages and pages of forum speak.
so, I've created a site call the cabcache.
The idea is to make it easy to find the cabs and tweaks, through a simple search.
it's in its early form as it's going to take me a while to collate all the tweaks and cabs available, but I'm adding more and more every day. If you would like to help me build the site, please get in touch.
I've tried (and will strive to) give credit to everyone who owns the cabs and tweaks. If you see something on the site that isn't giving you the credit you deserve, please get in touch. Similarly, please get in touch if you see one of your offerings that you would like removed.
At the moment, you cannot upload your own cabs (removed due to previous abuse) but this will be re-instated shortly (about a week I think once I've reconfigured the code)
so, if you want to help me out, please PM me, or get in touch through the site.
many thanks.
very good idea
Have just checked out the site and it is looking very good so far. Clear, concise and easy to use, perfect.
A cracking idea which will save a lot of time.
Keep up the good work and I hope you get the support the site deserves.
this is a great idea, hope it realy takes off.

The only difference is that thread is currently 67 pages, making it difficult to search.
I just wanted to make it easier was all.
If you'd make use of some PHP + a database and integrate rate systems/upload features this could be pretty good.. Then it could also display screenshots, be categorized, reviewed, etc..
You could also make it device-specific categorized. Then you can ask the XdaMarketplace developers to integrate it into their app by creating an API and not only offer apps but also tweaks/sense mods for their phones directly.
Hi , even if you don't add loads of features as mentioned above, which would be great, as it it its very useful as a searchable portal to all the adjustments that can be made. I picked up on one already swype, that I hadn't seen listed thanks for that.
Hi,
firstly, many thanks for all the positive comments (and the couple of negative ones I've had lol)
All feedback is appreciated.
Logins are back!!
so you can now create a login and add your own CABs and Tweaks.
As before, if you have any problems, or notice anything that shouldn't be happening, please let me know.

Hi,
I've been getting the emails advising me of the error. The issue seems to be that you haven't entered an email address in the registration form. This is needed so that I can ensure the registration is from an actual person. Your email address is encrypted in the db and is quite secure.

working again now. Had to get hosting company to reset permissions on the site as for some reason they had reverted to read only, meaning the DB couldn't be written to.
great idea, would be great if this thread is notified of updates as and when they are added as i/we will receive a notification
It would be really useful if there was some way to see which phones the cabs are compatible with. Some clearly don't work with the HD2, though they probably to work with other handsets.
hi
i found an easy way to make quick apps for websites
it is in that link : http://developer.bada.com/badaforum/board/thread/view.do?boardName=tools&messageId=33230&startPage=1&curPage=1
i tried to make my first app right away
My first app is for Filgoal.com (Egyptian football news website)
that app is totally based on RSS feeds and a youtube Channel
after trying the app i found a serious bug
the bug is when you load the first line of the news it loads normally but when i press back and load the second line of the news it loads the first one!!!!
i found out that all the news are shifted by one
of course i don't know how to fix this so i attached the whole app and waiting for anyone who finds where the bug is and how to fix it
Thanks in Advance
Yes, i am trying to steel the way for the scrolling, it seems that this guy added the webcontrol on a scrollable panel. that could be the solution for my problem the other things, i don't know the code is to modular to check it quick out, sorry.
By the way this example is from arun.sd this guy send me the Premium Partner E-Mail as i entered it, i think he is one of the main bada developers, and he is realy good, respect.
ok i understand now
he is a big developer but he didn't notice that bug!!!!!
i really need anyone to contact him directly to tell me how to fix it
i already wrote on his twitter page,developer.bada thread but he is not responding
if anyone know him please contact him
Yes i have his e-mail don't worry have you tried the installer method or the one with the source code?
You could post to his topic on the developer page there he should look out sometimes
And by the way have you ever seen a programm without any bugs? I not.
Thanks larioteo
it is just one method completes itself
i posted in the topic already
i thought it should be bug free as it is in the tools and libraries section
i am angry because i already uploaded the app to the seller office and i need to fix it quickly before being refused
i'll wait for further info from you
Dont worry, have you forgotten the mail? they will delete it automatically. or you can also do, but one question have you try it with another site? i am also interestet in this info app, its cool, and the scrolling is that how it should be
Already tried it with several sites and the same bug exist in all of them
when i get it fixed i'll make a one for XDA of course
maybe you can make for you sites too and give it a try it is really cool with its youtube feature
yes i will take a look after the next voluntas update ok?
of course
here we are a free community
you can do what you want when you want
we don't force each other to do anything
Please don't hurt me^^
No i think a little bit politeness isn't bad. We are all here for the same thing, making bada more suiteable for us and others.
@mylove Application XDA for bada sounds wonderful, especialy for bada OS section.
e-mailed Arun and here is his reply
Thank you for your email.
I shall be away from office till Jun 2.
I shall attend to your email as soon as I return.
Thank you for your patience.

so when he is back he will see how to fix it
@baza14
of course it is interesting too
i think it won't be approved at Samsungapps so i'll contact morata to help me with its installble package making
i'll make it from tomorrow
Yes this guy arun is cool, i couldn't imagine it that i got the premium partner state, he is fantastic.
@mylove90 you could give it a try, how, pn me
Already made XDA app put there is a bug also so it can't get data from RSS feeds on the bada forums
it now can get data from the portal,twitter and XDA TV
to me it is useless because it doesn't support bada in anyway(the whole world in it revolves around Android and WP7)
it is pointless to release it now
will try with Arun to find a fix for it too
P.S : you are a noob video is so funny
could you send me your sourcecode? i will fix your problem. please make a file called
Changelog.txt
and list all bugs in it that you have found, detailed when it apperas and what you have done to get it. I am a little bit confused, in the last time, i need this file
For the appbuilder itself i dont have enough time due to sdk2.
Sorry for being so stupid and not posting the source from the beginning
Actually if you fixed XDA app you will fix the AppBuilder
i attached the whole folder from the SDK
i was all that time waiting for Arun as he sent an E-mail from two days that he is so busy and will try to fix the app this week end but i don't think he will have any time for it
Thanks in advance
I know he is currently coding on bada 2 i think this is more important.
Got the fix for the app from Arun finally
i'll try it and report my feedback to him
Hej cool, he is fantastic, isn't he`?
Then you don't need my Services?, Mabe change the gui or icons, that it looks more in your wishes.
yes he is so cool
but said at the end of the mail if you faced any more problems don't come to me back
he is just too busy
still i need you
he just fixed one issue
the first one in the changelog file
maybe some polishing in the app would be nice too
it is yours now
take it seriously i have not done anything in it to take it as my app (just collected RSS feeds)
here is the indexing fix
Credit goes to Arun
1) Go to: XDA Developers\src\ListForm.cpp
2) Search for this function in that file: "ListForm::OnItemStateChanged"
3) Replace the existing code ["LoadArticle(index-1);"] with "LoadArticle(index);"
4) Compile + build the project
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
found another fix for the UI to make the Logo pic over the articles bigger to fit all that area
Credit goes to me this time
1)Go to XDA Developers\inc\Globals.h
2)Search for LOGO_MAX_HEIGHT
3)Change values as below
#define LOGO_MAX_HEIGHT 90
#define LOGO_MAX_WIDTH 480
4) Compile + build the project
