Hey I'm new to this forum (as shown in my post count).
What programs do you use on your Hermes?
Small problems I would like to fix are:
-A little speed boost. I feel like it lags behind sometimes
-Programmable sms tones. I dont just want to use those 1-2 second long sounds.
-A good free multi-chat program. For example, AIM, ICQ, GoogleTalk, Msn, Yahoo... all at the same time. Personally I found AgileMessenger to be quite nice, but it costs 45 bucks to buy... i may resort to that though.
Actually onw last thing i would like and wondering if it is even possible, probably only by some awesome hacker. I want a program that gives me the passkeys of locked wifi networks, are there any of those available?
I have more questions about t-mobile but ill start a different thread.
This site is a support forum for xda enthusiasts. using this site, you will find lots of tweaks for your phone, OS upgrades, fixes, etc. but we do not condon anything illegal here. That means even if some hacker finds a way how to do something that is illegal, the moderators will immediately delete it. That also applys for cracked programs, etc. Im not accusing you of anything, but since you are new here I just wanted to give you a quik breifing on what we are and are not about.
Also, before you post any questions, or screw up your phone, make sure you do lots of reading and searching (search bar at top right), there is also a google search tool for this site in the other section.
Welcome and good luck

ok then ty for letting me know. Seeing as how many programmers are on this site I though that non-legit might be fine here.
Thank you for the warning, Im not a computer noob, but new to the wm phone world. I'd be sure on reading up before installing anything.
Well then the same questions are still up... I never said I wouldnt pay for these programs but if the freeware is just as good, why not?
Please do not start new threads to request repeated information.
Thread closed.
Hi,
I tried a search for this, but couldn't find anything, so said I would post a thread.
I have just signed up to Twitter (I know, I know... please don't slag!) What with facebook, boards, xda, linkedIn, Digg and now Twitter, I'll have no freetime to do any work...
Just wondering though if anybody with a Diamond or general WinMob has a twitter client.
After googling it, there seems to be a load for iPhone (spit) and a load more for WinMob, but I'm not sure where is the best, so if anybody here has one, could you recommend any.
Something stable, quick and hassle free.
Thanks,
DG.

I second PockeTwit. It's a very robust app, and it's under constant development with new features, updates, etc. I've stuck by it since day one.

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 .
There are relevent threads in this forum if you need to garner more info

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.
hey guys,
I'm trying to add some new friends from Facebook by my HD2, but I can't search any new friends!! ;(
However, it works on IPhone but why not windows phone.
Anyone know about these?
Let me know Please
Thank u in advance
anyone can help??
You've not given us enough information to help you.
How are you trying to add friends? How do you expect it to work, and in what way does it not?
Incidentally, silly comments like "it works on my iPhone" will get you nothing other than silly comments like "use your iPhone then".

Thanks John,
Well, i go to "Friends" Tag, and click "Search" then i input the person's name which i'm trying to search, however, there is no other results come out apart from the person which i have added.
But my friend show me on his IPhone, once he input the name and then click search, there are numbers of results come out even he didn't add.
Did i make it a bit clear now??
Very Sorry if i confuse you guys, because English is not my first language
I have had this problem before on my TP2, it will search for people in my friends but not people I do not know.
Never managed to get to the bottom of why this happens, Sorry.
As far as I'm aware, the search function is for searching within your friends, not for searching for new friends. I don't think you can do that with the application.
The application is not meant to be a replacement for the facebook website, but rather a sort of middleware app that gets information from the site for you, and allows you to do some minor updates.
You'll still need to use the main site to do lots of things.
If it helps, you can use http://m.facebook.com/ on the phone to get the mobile version, which is a lot lighter than the full version and doesn't use any ajax or flash (which would slow the browser down considerably!)
Hope this helps

Ore you can use http://touch.facebook.com witch rocks
All my contacts are linked to their FB accounts, i see their last stati, birthdays, access to their albums and from my contact card i can update my stati (leaving a satisfying "uploaded via HTC" next to it) so the question is, Why isnt there a bloody tab for it like twitter so i dont have to keep clicking on the peoples tab, then all people, then view my contact card, then scrooooooool to the bottom then update my status... ugh its annoying lol
can anyone help or better yet reccomend me a better facebook app than the silly windows one. one thats on par with the iphones... all i use atm is opera and fim.
any help would be ace, now go stimulate your craniums and produce some knowledge
Bad question, YES!!!
Stimulate your own cranium and FIND the knowledge.
Use the search function.
The last line cracks me up, simply due to the irony of it.
i know im thick lol what am i searching for exactly? all i get is malina roms.
