You didn't read enough or search enough and with an attitude like that I wouldn't help you anyway. The methods are here if you look around.

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....
This forum has a lot of information and a lot of input and applications and downloads. I recently started coming here a few weeks ago and little by little have gotten through quite a few threads and downloaded some amazing stuff. However, it's been difficult at best and quite slow and tedious and I know there is still lots of stuff I'm missing.
What I was thinking is how it would be great if we had one unified post that summarized and organized some of the most popular applications that are available here. Something like:
Best Music Players
--HTC Audio manager
--Mort Player
--etc.
Best Browser
--Opera Mini
--Picsel
--Skyfire
--etc.
Best locking program
--S2U2
--etc.
and so on, with the download links next to them. This would make referencing certain applications easy to find and download for all from various threads. With a few people in charge to moderate the thread, updates could easily be done as people post as they arrive or to alert others and then subsequently deleted.
I'm not sure if this has been brought up or attempted before, but I wanted to throw it out there. Please feel free to close or lock this thread if necesssary mods.
I would also add that some polls could be set up initially to identify some of these key applications to set up a "standard" list of applications that most users here should at least be familiar with and/or have on their devices.
Thanks and hope this idea helps out others if it's put forth.
Chain Fire's WMWIFI ROUTER
Slither's HTC CUBE Clone ( flash version )
Slither's HTC Cube ( C++ version )
Throttle Launcher
will add more later
Best Music Player:
Pocket Melody
Best Browser:
NetFront Browser 3.5
Best contact App :
-- PocketCM 0.19b !!
I can't find the pocket melody thread... can some one gimme a link...
Thanks
Sorry, but before this thread becomes very crowded and yet another "must have" list that gets lost in the realms of the web: Wouldn't it be better to do this in the XDA-Wiki?
Here's a good starting point.
A sticky hint might be a good idea, though, you've got to scroll the Wiki main page for a while to find it...

Thank you. That's exactly the type of format I'm looking for. I didn't want everyone to just come and start posting their favorite programs but instead to have ONE post that combined them all. I just don't know enough of them and haven't been around long enough to even begin to compile it.
That wiki page looks great. I just hope someone that has a little time and the desire to do this could pull it off. I just don't have either nor the knowledge to put out something that would be helpful. Thanks for the reply.
best tweaker

Nice looking interface - Wisbar Advance Desktop

We should have official polls on what are the best apps for each category.
That way, the best of the best will show themselves and those who are not yet enlightened, WILL be.
It will also clear up arguments and let popularity decide.

If you post your problem, many "experts" can help you and maybe others will benefit from the advice. There is something inherently selfish about asking for private help in a public forum.
Welcome to the forum!
This forum is meant to be a community where everyone helps, everyone is helped and everyone learns something in the process. It is not really a place to find your own private tech support.
We all enjoy helping each other. Post your problem and it is likely that many people will contribute. That way other people will also benefit in the future if they experience the same problem and they can read about it in this forum.
So, let us know what your problem is and we'll all try to find the best solution for you.
And one last thing, on your very first post in a forum, it's not a great idea to ask people for their personal email to contact them.
If you want private support you pay for it.
So, please go to your local phoneshop and pay them.
Or pay someone on this forum to help you personally. For example, 25-50 euro per hour is a reasonable fee.
There is no free lunch. You have not given the community anything, so why would anyone care about you so much that they would go out of their way to give you personal support for free? Sorry, but you are very naive.
Also, next time please try to name the topic informatively.

First of all - no, your problems are not silly - and this forum is for EVERYONE. Sorry if it seemed that everyone was ganging up on you. We all understand that you don't have a ton of time to spend on the forum. Some people have more time than others and that is totally normal. People in this forum are from all walks of life - young to old, and from all different jobs and professions. A couple of us are in the medical field and we like to volunteer our time doing computer stuff on the side. So, don't feel bad - post whatever question and spend whatever time you can here.
With that said, you should also keep in mind that often times using the search function in the forum (and even the "search this particular forum" option) can answer you question right away and can save the forum from having threads with repeating topics. I know that you don't always find things via search. It has happened to me that I don't find anything, and then someone else shows me an old thread about something I was asking. But in trying the search function as an initial step is always good. It makes the forum more effective.
Now to answer some of your questions.
1. That is a topic that you'll need to spend some time in. Yes, you can play different kinds of video files, but you might need other software for some types of files. And depending on the video, you might need to convert it to an encoding that can be played better on the HD. Things like encoding, bitrate and resolution all play a role here. Like I said, this is a big topic you are dealing with here. This thread has everything you need to know about that. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446366
If you need to convert videos, then SUPER is a great free program. All the info is in the link above.
2. What kind of message are you talking about? Text message (sms) or email?
3. I don't know too much about themes, but I know there are some out there. Try searching the forum for HD themes. Or maybe someone else here who knows more than I do can point you in a direction.
Anyway, I hope this helps a bit. Your first question is something that will just take time to understand and eventually master. I knew little about it until I read that thread I posted. So, just give yourself some time and take the advice for settings given in that post.
Once again, we really are glad you joined the forum. We are all one big family of HD people eager to discover more about our nice little device, and you will find that people here are very helpful.
Cheers

nicely said,
sometimes i do not ask for help as i have read post where the reply was "why dont you use the search feature etc."
with me, when i am looking for a answer to a problem i start with one search and then i find a link to another thread after a few hours i do not know what i was looking for or i do not find the answer, it is here on this forum, but hard to find especilly when you have some threads on 50 or 111 pages and some tech terms are not known.
the Wiki is a great place to start and most of the answers are there, but not all.
i got my touch HD just before Christmas, i had a MDA Compact IV, tried most of the software that i had on that phone and some of it did not work, so i had to start from scratch, wasnt sure about the phone at the start only upgraded as i had run out of storage space on the Compact IV as the Touch HD had a storgae card.
Now all blinged up as my firends would put it, this phone it great, cost a lot but well worth it.
i am not knocking the members on this forum as they have produce great programs for us to use, and have solved many problems, but not everyone is a expert on this forum, and when 111 pages of discustions were posted and a problem resloved, this member was not known to this forum, so he is starting from fresh and would like a little help as some members would kindly give.
nice responses from senior members.
I would also suggest that the title be changed.?
It is not as stated a very very very importand matter except only for the newmember.
Thanks.

I dont think I have seen this error with anything other than email. What I have expereinced when this happens can be 2 things. First, when I set up email it takes a few hours for some unknown reason to start retrieving email.
The other time I see this is when I forget to set the right connection while setting email up. I am with att so when I set mine up I need to make sure I tell email to connect using Media.net in the drop down menu under advanced settings. Hope this helps you on that topic.
wahh chriss cross thnx for the replay and the help .. i thought when i go to check back the post someone was going to start insulting me with noob and stuff like that thisi s what i thought cuz i didnt find alot of friendly persons on forums genraly anyways thank you very much
i will start to look at the link u gave me about the 1st problem
and about msging im talking about " SMS " when i try to send SMS it says "Your messege cannot be sent" and in the bottom of the screen it says "Error Synchronizing"
thanks again
*Edit*
i did read the post that was made by "tnyynt" that u sent to me about video problem i didnt understand a sh**

no worries - I think the attacks are history.
Anyway, here are some more questions:
1. Can you receive sms?
2. Can you call and receive calls without any problem?
3. Have you installed anything that could be affecting things?
EDIT: By the way, here is a link to this forum's Wiki with HD tips. It might be helpful for you in general to become more and more familiar with your new HD. So far we have 43 tips and I'm sure the list will keep growing. And here is a link the to Wiki for programs working and not working on the HD. Both of those are updated whenever something new comes up.
About SMS
Are you sending sms using the e-mail tab in the TouchFLO 3D?

HI Alamaai,
i disagree with some harsh answers. However, it is important to understand that the difference between this forum and HTC Support is the same difference between a self-service and a restaurant with waiters. the food is here and is for free, but nobody is supposed to take you the dishes and you have to walk around and find the food you need. if you really don't find the food, and it is a large restaurant, then you can ask somebody that will probably give you the right hint if we build/add additional information interesting to everybody else.
Nobody here is paid to do this, and we all invest our own private free time to build information which is useful to ourselves.
So...welcome to the XDA self-service! food is great, fellows are nice!
...and this email contributes in building information: if you would have SEARCHED for it, you wouldn't have created your thread!
All the best!
hey sms works now it was from the number that i have to put in sms service

i can understand how enoying it can be for users to be asked the smae questions, but sometimes it helps to be pointed in the right direction.
when i do ask for help i do not except all the work to be done for me, but sometimes i might not know where to look or someone else on this forum has read or seen a thread relating to my problem.
A user was asking how can he get analogue clocks on his Touch HD.
it can not be done at the moment but i saw a thread where a user installed a Wa2 theme for his phone which had a annalogue clock, all i did was show him the thread, it would have been the last place he would have looked as it was posted in the "Post Your HD Screens" thread.
a little help goes a long way.
A basic intro to video conversion

thanks
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah -
Glad to hear it got solved.
And now in terms of the video thing, here is a basic introduction.
PLEASE SEE UPDATED VERSION OF THIS POST IN THE WIKI
Keep in mind I am absolutely no expert - and so the video experts here might cringe at my explanation. So if any of you experts out there want to correct me - PLEASE DO - I always like learning new things.
Okay, different things affect how your HD will play a video. The more the processor is pushed to its limits the poorer the quality you will see when playing a video. So, the trick is to find a happy medium between some of the main contributers to quality and processor drain.
1. The bitrate (kbps) is a measure for how much data information is being processed per second. The higher this number, the better the picture, but it also means the processor needs to work harder.
2. The resolution (or scale size) refers to the number of pixels (width x height) that the video will be shown in (at a natural 100% zoom). The higher the resolution, the clearer the picture - but also more work for the HD.
3. The frames per second (fps): A video is basically made up of a bunch of individual frames (or pictures) that are played really fast one after the other. You will often see settings between 23 and 30 fps. I have to say that I don't really see much difference here. However, sometimes if the audio is not properly synchronized with the video after you have done the conversion, they recommend you check what the fps of the original video was, and then keep it the same on your settings for conversion.
4. The aspect ratio is basically the shape the video will be in. 3:4 is your standard TV type size, while 16:9 or 16:10 are common wide screen formats. I personally like the wide screen formats. There are other aspect ratios, but these are the really common ones. Ideally you want an aspect ratio that will be as close as possible to the aspect ratio of the monitor or screen that you will be viewing the video it. That way it just fits nicer.
5. And finally the audio encoding. It also has different settings. Basically four things:
Type of encoding (for example mp3, AC3 or AAC etc.)
Bitrate (kbps - same concept as in video bitrate): Common is around 128kbps
Sampling frequency (in Herz: Hz): Common is 44100 Hz
Mono (1 channel) vs. Stereo (2 channels) sound. There is also 6-channels for surround sound, but that won't do much on your HD.
So, there you have the main things that you should be familiar with. And now, all those settings can be packaged up in different ways. That brings us to the OUTPUT settings for conversion. The goal is to achieve the smallest possible file size with the best possible video quality.
You can look at it as a container that holds a specific formula or encoding inside. Container formats are, for example, .avi, .mp4 and many others. However, the "formula" inside these containers can vary a lot. That is the "encoding" or "codec". Some examples are divx, xvid, MPEG-4, .h263, .h264 etc. So, two different videos might both have file names ending in .avi (the container), but have a totally different encoding inside that container. One might be an xvid and the other one an MPEG-4 - or whatever.
If you use SUPER to convert videos, you see how it is nicely broken up into the different categories for you to choose settings. See the picture I attached. You can either play with different settings, or you can use settings that other people have posted and said they worked well for them.
The HD is limited as to what it can play. So depending on the container and codec used, you can use the HD's album program to play the video or you might need third-party programs like CorePlayer (for example to play divx). The thread I posted earlier shows what different people have tried and how their experience was when using the HD's native album player, or the HD's Windows Media Player or third-party software like CorePlayer.
There is one more thing... called "hardware acceleration". It is a technology that greatly improves how smooth a video is, especially in fast scenes with lots of movement. It involves a piece of hardware (hardware accelerator - like a graphics card) as opposed to just the software. The HD is equipped with this technology, and so its native player can use it. However, programs like CorePlayer don't support the use of a hardware accelerator yet - but CorePlayer has the advantage of being able to play codecs (like divx) that the HD alone cannot play. It's all a give-and-take trying to see what works best.
I tried several players and ended up staying with the HD's native album player with its hardware acceleration. But to get the best quality I end up having to convert most of my videos, and that can be quite time consuming. Everyone has different opinions on that. Some people love CorePlayer.
Sooo, I hope this basic introduction helps you understand other threads a bit better. If you have questions - just ask. I'm not an expert in this, but other people here are pretty knowledgeable when it comes to that.
Cheers

Thank you. And yes, if it will help others - then I'd gladly do a wiki for it. I've never done a wiki before (I've only edited them) - so I don't really know where or how one is made. But, I'll check out your link.
EDIT: Thanks HDuser for the fixing the formatting.
Here is the link to the new wiki regarding this topic.
Hello everyone. I am a second year electronics student and am now working for my General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL). I am looking at having to memorize the answers to just under 700 questions. Its rather tough lol. The reason I am here is simple. I have searched and searched and have not found any software for my touch pro that will help me study for this test. I don't know how to write programs but I know that many of you out there do a phenomenal job. I am looking for someone that would write a program for me that would quiz me on all the questions for the GROL. In fact I believe that if one where interested in making a few dollars he or she could go all out and make a program that creates a full exam from the test question pool, then watches which ones the user gets wrong and makes sure to ask them more often. It would also be cool if a pop up window came up explaining the proper answer. I also think it would be nice to have a screen at the end showing results. I know at first this seams daunting but I do have software that came with my book that is close to this and could send you a copy. Also, the entire question pool is listed on the fcc website. It wont let me post the link here but if you contact me by email i can find it for you.
The GROL only requires sections 1 and 3. The only other program similar was marked at $40.00 and for the pc. Nothing has been found for the PPC where it makes the most sense. During random downtimes a person can do a few random questions here and there. I believe that if made to look nice with a nice touch style interface someone could post this to windows marketplace and sell it for $20.00 easily and make some nice cash on it. I would learn to program and do it myself if it weren't for the fact that I am in class now and need it ASAP.
Thanks in advance for all that entertain the thought of taking this on

It's not exactly what you said, but maybe you can use SuperMemo UX & SuperMemo Mobile. It's free software, but you will need to build your own course.

Hello everyone. I am a second year electronics student and am now working for my General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL). I am looking at having to memorize the answers to just under 700 questions. Its rather tough lol. The reason I am here is simple. I have searched and searched and have not found any software for my touch pro that will help me study for this test. I don't know how to write programs but I know that many of you out there do a phenomenal job.

I know this is an older post. And I knkw what you mean, and are talking about. I am changing career fields into Avionics, and a classmate has an app for his (cry)Phone. But in the Google Play Store, they have some, but they are expensive for what it is ($19.99 and $12.99). I can't find anything except crApple. Absolutely no Android. I can't even find anything where someone ported the CD that is in the book over to Android and other platforms. I have coppied the files from the CD to a folder on my computer called "GROL." So I didn't have to have the CD in my computer the whole time. I'm going to graduate at the end of this month, and I only have Element 1 done. Partly its my own fault for waiting until now. But either way, I'll have 3 & 8 done. But it would be nice if I could take the studying with me when I have life going on and not by my computer. Lol
Android surpassed crApple, and yet we still get kicked to the curb.
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.

thanks guys. It's going to take a while to gather everything and get it on the site, but I'm working hard on it.
I don't mean to be a ****, but what's the difference between an offsite compared to a thread that beat you to the point already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415

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.

ok..
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.
