Hey guys

Hey guys I i just bought an HTC 8925, and i stumbled across the forum, seems like a huge community. My phone should come in on tuesday, im upgrading from an iphone.. Just wanted to say hi.

Welcome! Get ready for tons of info, apps, and really good tweaks to put your phone over the edge!
Yeah!!! iPhone --> HTC, good move. What was the reason?

definately a good move! HTC is way better than the competition!

i broke my iphone, and instead of buying a new one i figured id go back to windows mobile.. ive had a few other smartphones but never as nice as the tilt.. there is really nothing to do to the iphone tweakwise other than themes.. plus the gps and 3mp camera really won me over

Smart Move...Welcome aboard! What part of Cleveland? I spent time in Akron years ago...

hola..and welcome

Im Back !

I learned so much from these forums last year while modding my MDA, well after a year of being gone and getting tired of Sidekicks and Tmobiles Bull**** and junking them, Getting sprint and loving EVDO and going through Motorola Q9 , i picked up an HTC Vogue. Glad to see the community here is still thriving ! Cant wait to go through more threads and see some of the advances you guys have made in the last year. Already seen quite a few that make me want to grab another MDA.
Well hopefully i can figure out a solution for my fingers being to big for the touchscreen keyboard !!

but seriously. If you have any tmobile phones you don't particularly want, i'll take them off your hands for the price of free also. Man i'm such a free merchandise whore.

Got myself an iphone :<

Hello, i am a WM user since my qtek s200, and that is a way back, i love WM phones, i had over 6 WM devices and now i had a contract renewal and i got myself an iphone 3gs. I am a iphone hater -or maybe was-, and i do have the device for 4 days now. To my suprise the iphone is really good, really fast, and now that has turn by turn navigation its really usable. Fluent graphics, really powerful applications, and really really good support.
I thought i would never say this, but i am selling both my HD's, and its gonna take me a while to get back to WM devices.
Flame as you guys want, i just wanted to give my 2 cents on the thing thats happening.

I went the other way. Had enough of the low-res toy that is the Iphone, with Apple constantly blocking users from doing what they want.

My condolences

Well - as always it depends on what you want from your device... If you are satisfied with the abilities apple lets you use - go for the iphone. If you want a device you can customize in every way you want - go for a WM-device. And I have to agree with arfster: The resolution on the iphone is a disgrace! I'm definitely not willing to go to anything below VGA after having a WVGA device!
But I'm happy as long as your happy with the iphone!

Nice one!

I used to own an iPod touch (Iphone without the phone) and just found it to gimmicky. Sooner or later you will get bored of useless apps & games and come running back
Anyway have fun with your iPhone! I certainly would like to have one for 12 months +!

Congratuations.
I've seen enough of what it can do to know that you're making the right move. Once jailbroken, I've seen how customizable it is, perhaps even more customizable than winmo phone. Everytime I see her, the phone looks different. She was having a HTC Hero look just the other day, and before that it looked like a Palm Pre. I've seen my cousin's iPhone and played with it, and it is truly amazing and awesome. Fantastic application functionalities and choices. Fantastic speed and smoothness. Fantastic for internet on the go. Fantastic media device.
I'm half way there in my saving to buy a second hand 3GS.

What stuff from HTC Hero or Palm Pre did you actually see? Are you certain that it is customizable. Because all I can see is the same old home screen with an HTC Hero Wallpaper.

Yes you now have turn by turn navigation but just see what happens when you take a phone call. On my Diamond TomTom just continued working and I could chat away to my heart's content. The iPhone will terminate the satnav application to tale the call. The iPhone is very, very shiny but has some serious restrictions - not to mention having to jailbreak to get away from the control freakery that is Apple.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
theres my thoughts
kidding but in all seriousness, and im sure we remember the other conversations iphone is for ppl and winmo is for others
it depends on what ur needs are from the deivice

What is it about people that they feel the need to come on a Windows Mobile forum to start a new thread to announce that they just got a new iPhone ?
Can't they just ressurrect one of the other 1000 threads that were started everytime Apple passes gas. ?
I have five Macs currently, am typing this on a Mac, my first PDA was an Apple Newton. I have been an Apple fanboy for 30yrs. And am on my second iPhone.
I also love my Kaiser. Now when I got my new 3Gs last month, my first thought wasn't to rush right over to XDA to start a new thread to announce that I had gotten a new iPhone, why is that everyone elses first thought ?
Can we just add all the " I just got a new iPhone " threads to the AS team's list of duties ?

The AS team thinks these should be considered spam, but we need the xda admin's blessing...

No, it's more than a mere wallpaper. It also includes customizing the icons, the keyboards, the phone pad, the home screen itself, etc.
Did some googling, and found this..
Of course, don't expect it to have the complete behaviour of HTC hero, just like you would not expect a winmo phone that has been customized to mimic iphone to behave like iPhone.
Cheers.

Howdy folks...

Just thought I'd introduce myself real quick like.
The names Kjell (say it like shell, but with a German accent) and currently living in Norway. I've lived most of my life in the US though. (Primarily in the south.)
I was a Nokia kind of guy, specifically the 9x series, like the 9000, 9110, e90 etc. (Owned each one at least once.) Then I switched to an old QTec (QTek?) phone a few years ago, and hated it. Went back to Nokia and just last year jumped onboard the horrible iPhone bandwagon. (It's a great phone, just, hate being tied down...)
I bought a used HTC Touch HD last week seeing how I've been eying the HD2 for a couple now. But I'm not sure how I'll like Windows on my phone again. So I'm taking it slow.
But needless to say, I'm quite happy with the HD1. It's got a great screen, it's pretty fast and I enjoy the many, many customization options.
My iPhone is being used as an MP3 player/gaming console for my little one.
I'm thinking about testing out some custom roms for the HD. Anyone got any suggestions? Maybe a rom with the possibility to change your local weather to a non HTC chosen location? (I tried doing this on my own via the XML file, but can't. I'm just not that leet lol.)
Anyways, I've said too much. Thanks for having me.

I love the people at XDA!

Thanks all for the welcome.
I've been looking at the HD roms, going to read up a little about the flashing technique first. Don't want to brick anything.

Welcome and enjoy XDA! Happy Flashing!

Well first off, Welcome to XDA.
As a starter I'd advise you to read the wiki's and stickies for your device.
If unsure about anything feel free post a query in the Q&A forum (generally for each device a Q&A thread has been created for queries) or to contact a moderator for assistance

New ROM

Hi to everyone. Few months ago every week all the ROM Chefs put new releases... I wasn't kept a ROM over 72 hours.... Now whats going on???? I have the same ROM for a month!!!!!!!!(is the best I've tried).
Maybe the Chefs are in summer holidays...lolololololo
Looking forward for something new and fresh...
Whats your opinion ?

Nah, after flashing Spike's Xperia X1.5 home plus I'm not in any hurry to change my ROM. This is perfect for my use.

or people is about to leave the X1 for another newer device?

LOL X10? Have you check out Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Evo 4G and perhaps Iphone 4 before you say that? haha for me X10 sucks compared to these phones and even lose to HD2 I think.. my opinion though

i am making my order for the iphone 4... i think its badass, now the iphone is actually worth my money

Man dont forget that i'm from Greece. Technology here isnt so far like your country.

It's mostly the pretentious idiots you see walking around with Apple products projecting their air of pseudo intellect that gets my goat.

It seems to me that the classical age of gadgets are ending and we are heading into the dark ages with companies like apple setting the standard with their draconian policies, lies and less than average devices dragging other companies down to their level.

discussions about e.g. apple already take place in forum general/off-topic sections, join there if you intend to follow this line
this thread has gone completely off-topic, any chance it returns to subject? though I think that's already been answered...

well said... i personally like the iphone 4 and the macbook pro/air... but apple as a company is creating a follow me trend that i do not like as a consumer of various platforms... where is competition when everyone produces stuff with apple-looks? this is why i still have my x1 today, because too many touch devices reminded me of the first 3 iphones which all sucked... if this trend continues, i can see devices in the future with not much upgrades in terms of hardware and apple surprising everyone with greater hardware, like they did with the iphone's new screen, in which i was expecting since their macs also have awesome screens...
lets hope htc and se keep their heads on and dont fall into their trap, especially htc who already is with their lineup of many iphone-look-alikes

I am using the ROM right now, it's awesome. For now it has no SOD's, no bugs and it's fast. PointUI makes it complete.

I have a different opinion, its very fast but manilla is the complete ROM. Maybe is because i use for a long time!Anyway, nice work but not for me.
