Easy question for devs - HTC Titan Screen Orientation

i posted this in general discussion, but no one ever replied so im gonna try my luck here. i have the HTC Tital/Sprint Mogul/6800 whatever you want to call it and i wanted to know if there was a way to keep the screen orientation set on landscape so even when you slide it open and close it, it stays on landscape.
it's probably a very simple regedit, but i dont know where to look. thanks in advance.

Not to take anything away from this great community and forum, but it seems that most of the information here is geared towards GSM phones. Try out ppcgeeks.com for CDMA questions especially dealing with the Apache and Titan.

Problem is, this is a great source for all things HTC related, regardless of what frequencies and protocols it uses to connect to the cell towers.
I have a Wizard and a Tornado, and I've been here for a while learning new info and contributing whenever I could to enhance the overall Windows Mobile community.
I'm strongly considering jumping to a Titan because of competitive data plans they offer with it (far less than any US gsm provider), and I've seen threads of US users who feel the same.
I'm already familiar with the forum here, as are they, and we're all a little annoyed that the moderators have not yet allowed a new section for the Titan here. After all, the apache DOES have its own section...

I also agree that the titan should have its own forum here. I have also asked over on ppcgeeks and SU and no one has an answer.
I figured someone on here might know or it might already be fixed on another device and could be applied to the titan.
anyone know of anyway to do this yet?

Unlocking HTC HD2 and Using it on AT&T

I realize this is a TMO forum but since the HD2 is a TMO phone, I'm hoping someone has already done this.
I've been with TMO since April and while I'm generally happy with lesser dropped calls than AT&T, TMO's 3G service is very sporadic and does not seem to be as prolific in its availability as AT&T's.
Has anyone successfully used an unlocked HD2 on AT&T?
I would appreciate any information and suggestions on this, especially which ROM(s) to use to de-brand it and any tips/tweaks that will allow the HD2 to fully function on AT&T, including Data and Carrier/Frequency settings.
I don't plan on using the AT&T 2GB plans, just their "Unlimited" package for "dumb phones". Tethering is definitely needed.
ANY help in this will be greatly appreciated. If you don't feel like posting, you can PM me with the details.
Thanks

im guessing you didnt read much before you posted. yes tons of people use the tmous on at&t, yes it works, no you wont get 3G.

Actually I did, and after wading through a seemingly endless barrage of "chatty" mostly unfocused and unrelated posts, I decided to cut to the chase and post my own thread with the hope that someone with SUBSTANTIVE answers would respond.
You see, a common theme in most forums (this one included) is that direct and specific answers are seldom posted. Instead, there is the obvious posts from those that just like to post and see their post published for the world to see and appreciate.
Personally, I find posts like "I have that same problem..." or "why don't you like TMO..." or even "have you read the other posts..." adds very little to the discussion and only serves to inflate the thread to a multi-page diatribe that does little to serve or answer the original question.
I really don't care to hear about the mother-in-law that has the same issue, or the poor guy with a bricked phone, posted in the same thread as a specific and succinct request for assistance.
Please don't be offended but if you feel like flaming me on this then I respectfully request that you do so in a specific flaming thread and not this one. I would really appreciate responses from those willing and wanting to answer my question, sans lectures and unrelated tripe.
Thanks in advance for understanding.

heh, fair enough.
direct answer, yes, it will work once you network unlock it, no you won't get 3g or hsdpa, and no amount of radio or rom flashing will be able to enable 3g, its a hardware limitation.

hd2 att 3g
The only way to get 3g on this phone HD2 on the AT&T network is to buy the Australian version Telestra T9193, they go for between 500-700 on eBay.

Thanks for the straightforward answer Now that the question's been answered I would ask the mod to please close the thread to keep it small and easy for others to see the answer as posted above and from having to endure twenty pages of nonsense like in other threads. I would never have posted this thread had I found the above answer succinctly posted sans tripe in other threads.
Again, thanks for the simple and direct response.
Now I can go try and justify selling this TMO HD2 and fork out more $$$ for a Telstra unit.

Need ROM for galaxy Tab US with phone calls and 3g

Hi..I have t-mobile galaxy tab US model and I am looking to download a ROM which has ability to make phone calls as well as the 3g speed...can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Do some research...there isn't one..not with 3g speed

Don't we all lol

As far as I know this is as much a carrier issue as it is a ROM issue. I was able to hack together a ROM that -emulated- full phone functionality with Skype (in terms of voice dial, etc), but at this point you'll have to pick one or the other (3G or Phone)

Comment retracted

bump me too

smh...close this thread, and tell these people to search. read up or down, there are already established threads trying to make this happen

DO SOME RESEARCH...
Jesus people. seriously. all of your questions bout BT/skype....phone rom w/3g have been answered a crap load of times.
admins...why aren't you handing out temp bans for people who obviously don't read the forum rules?

Comment retracted

Why are there all these questions in the development sub forum. Admins need to clean this up

So the rom you threw together uses phone functionality with skype?Do you think you can post it? I would be interested in the least.

Suggestion: Split development forum from ROM forum

Just a thought that I think might improve developer collaboration and make it easier to have discussions about actual development tasks versus ROM packaging.
We have several talented individuals on here that build ROMs, they combine things that other people do, and add their own things and release a package of all of that. I think a lot of developers have no interest in releasing a ROM. If I come up with a fix for something, or a guide for how to do something else, there's no reason for me to build a whole ROM for that, I'd just release that on its own, and let others put that in their ROMs or just let individual users combine their own tricks together to make their phone act the way they want (in a way creating their own custom ROMs).
The development forum is inundated with ROM ("package") releases and very little attention is given to the actual things going into those.
Just to pick a random example, the latest VIPER rom includes a "GPS Fix". That fix basically replaces your gps.conf with one that changes the network time server that your GPS uses for syncing time for location calculations, and it enables use of Google's AGPS functionality from supl.google.com. This can be described as a GPS fix of sorts, but it definitely does not fix the GPS problem I (and many others) had with the GPS not finding any towers at all, ever under DK17. Nor do the release notes describe what the GPS fix is or what it should fix... This isn't a knock against BThomas, this kind of thing is appropriate for a ROM, it's advertisement of high level features of his ROM to his potential end users. Most of them don't care what exactly that GPS fix does, they've decided that his ROM is good for them, and they like the stuff he includes in general.
In fact, a lot of people are interested in that. I'm not--and I imagine many other would-be developers on this forum are also not interested in that. What I'd like is a forum where we can talk about actual development tasks and bugs, and resolutions to those bugs... only that, and nothing more. I.e. we don't care about a ROM release, we care about a particular bug fix, that may or may not be included in someone's prepackaged ROM.
Anyway, I'm new around these parts, and maybe I'm the only one that thinks this way--if so, I'll burrow my head back in the sand and mind my own business. I just think we'd get more actual development if we had a forum that was more about solving individual issues than competing prepackaged ROMs.
Edit: also wanted to add, I don't mean to pick on you, or anyone else in particular, BThomas, I just needed an example--this isn't a rant against ROM making, it's just a request for a place to collaborate on development, independent of final packaging... somewhere where developers who don't make ROMs, and developers who make different ROMs can collaborate on solutions to problems and new features and functionality together.

+1 to this..
Completely agree =)

Also agree.

Just testing my signature and Im also kind of drunk but I love this rom! Sorry for wasting a post...... BUT GUESS WHAT I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER eveything is working 100% love it..

I agree with this also. I am no developer but sometimes its hard to keep track with all the fixes,so having a central place to look will be easier to choose when looking for an appropiate rom to use.

Totally agree
SyndicateROM v1.0.2 + Xtreme kernel v1.2.0 + Emotionless beast final = Great functionality, Exceptional performance, and Sweet eye candy.

I'n not a dev in any way but I agree with this idea. The forums are so cluttered with roms, mods, and "fixes" that the actual development threads are tough to follow/find.

Searching is great if you're looking for the solution to YOUR problem. A Development forum would foster discussion to help with other problems.
Say I'm the Epic's greatest GPS expert. Why would I be searching for GPS when I know all I need about it? But if I'm browsing through the development forum and I see others discussing their GPS problems, then BAM. I offer my expertise and help out the community.
Note: I know jack squat about GPS Just an example.

Where would the ROM section be included?

100% agree!
Roms need their own sub-forum, especially for new releases. All I ever see on the first page of this development forum are Rom releases.

we are in desperate need of a Q&A section.. the general board is riddled with questions and then people dont get the answer they want so then they post on this forum... oddly enough all the various fixes and such that ive come up with ive posted in this forum.. somehow rom devs seem to have found it, as now quantum and acs both use the market fix

[Q] another s5 from vzw to att thread

joined those not happy with vzw, especially since move to mass. I have s5 I want to use with att, but with additional concern I have yet to find answered in my research.
because vzw 4g lte phones are not carrier locked--so vzw says, I gather there should be little or no problem with an att sim in the vsw s5. research confirms many with no problem after the transfer. however, and this is the reason for the thread, what happens when no 4g lte signal from att?
please excuse my ignorance if common sense should reveal that answer, but I am so angry with vzw right now I can't see straight. the ignorance is the s5 capability regarding signal drop to non-4g lte with vzw purchased phone and att network.
why? I started service with att, another phone, to see how the signal is in this area, prior to the transition, and I rarely have lte and often with hspa, not hspa+.
not impressed with the cellular service just outside of boston yet both vzw and att claim strong coverage. go figure. anyway, I hope someone can help me understand what the s5 can do versus what the carriers have done to them. recommendations or whatever, please fire away.
thanks.

nothing?
20 views and nothing?
maybe this will help if unclear: rarely do I have lte on the screen. sometimes I have 4g, not often. so, is it possible a 4g lte phone can drop to 3g? if so, does the cdma/gsm difference come back into play?
it would be nice to see from someone with vzw to att experience.
thanks.

The lack of replies might be because your questions have been asked and answered many times. There are more than 20 existing threads on this subject that answer your questions. Why not read the wealth of information in those threads first? More than likely that would answer all of your questions. And if not, then your remaining questions would be better informed.
In short, a Verizon phone can be used on ATT but it will always be a poor fit that won't work well in many circumstances. You can find the particulars discussed at length in existing threads.

I know this is not the first effort at xda-dev as my subject indicates, but I have yet to find the particulars once a transferred phone is in a non-4g environment. did I miss it? if it is here, yes.
I get the sensitivity some have for repeat entries, but it is a forum for sharing information and that often evolves. It is not always practical or the information uptodate or even accurate or whatever to think it unreasonable to have another instance surface. okay, I could bump one and see where it goes; some will cry about the thread is old. doesn't it make sense to revisit just in case new information or whatever?
with that said, I have not read that is it a poor fit in Many circumstances..still looking. Thank you.
moderator, please close the thread; no longer attending.
