Is it me or do these devices get boring after awhile? I'm thinking about intentionally bricking my Tilt and restoring it just so I have something to do with it. Pretty pathetic I know. Nothing new or innovative has been released for it yet.
Haha, this wasn't quite the thread I was expecting, thank God. But I think this happens with all phones. I thought the Tilt was the coolest thing ever and now that I have had it for a couple months I'm kind of bored with it. I felt the same way about the iPhone and the Blackberries that I have had too though, so I don't think you can really specify that it is HTC devices. It is kind of the reason for innovation, people get bored with things faster and faster these days.
it's even worse for those who don't have pockets full of cash to fork over for lots of software for these devices.freebies help but not everyone enjoys trials and simply can't spend on numerous programs

Sometimes i flash a random rom to 'try it' then eventually flash back to the previous only to spend the day setting it up when im done after a few hours i find myself looking through the rom section again for something new and exciting *sigh*

Ahhhh, I find myself doing the same thing. Just trying to make the stupid little things work on different roms only to come back to one that I loved a month ago.
HTC should never have started using Qualcomm hardware.
Wonder if there's a contract between them and how long it'll last
Yes it is true! But if it wasn't for XDA, I wouldn't have known any better and would have stuck with the preinstalled apps, lived a dull life, not got to pick on iPhone users, gone through the NOOB hazing, Etc.

youtube sucks,luckily that flashvideobundle shows other sites compatible. i personally like vtap,quicker searches and does more than searching youtube
cmon HTC, release the drivers as a birthday present for me LOL
It's human nature! We just get bored after some period of use; not just HTC but every gadgets or anything.
What do you think is the reason, why we have so much of divorces?

Good tip- it may just work!
Buy new apps!
Find an app that manages/enhances your hobby or day to day tasks.

How many years do I have to wait b4 I get my true "do it all" device?
I was reading about Sharp's new Willcom D4 UMPC today and thinking damn - it's kinda like my tilt - and an actuall real computer!
getting closer!!!
but I want it to make phone calls - not skype.....but driving cross country through the boonies traditional cell phone roaming cell phone service.
and I want 3g, gps, wifi and hell....a 5 megapixel decent looking camera/video.....and def @ least 8 full use hours (streaming video via wifi with the audio sent to my bluetooth headphones hours)
Also I'd like a nice cradle like the oqo for home/office use on traditional moniter/keyboard/mouse.
And of course it's gotta fit in my [email protected] least in the cargo pants pocket size
I know its gunna be a while....but how long u guys think?
5 years for my true do it all perfect device? I guess I'll have to wait - but Id quickly drop 2-3 grand on it today....if only it existed.
(does Microsoft want this device to exist today? is there a purpose for windows mobile when this device comes out? Is microsoft the reason for the "seperation" of the 2 OS's of the htc shift? why can't they communicate between each other fluently? why cant I make a traditional (non skype) phone call on the xp side of this device? - The everun seems to be able to do it though. - I know the technology is not quite yet here to get all these features in a pocketable device - but were soooooooo close it seems)
/dreaming of running cubase (music production software)/photoshop/etc. etc. @ work instead of just attempting to read engadget on a wannabe browser (my current fav is skyfire or opera.....but both leave me wanting more) on my pocketable (tilt) "do it all" device
/dreams and crazy glues an oqo to the back of my att tilt and puts a car battery in my backpack
I've been playing Paradise island for about a week now.
I'm loving it.
So thought I would share some tips and hopefully get some back.
Currently I am level 12.
When starting the game best things to do.
build 40 roads ( or 400 if you are bored)
This gives you a free $1250 plus 40xp
leave the screen on for 3
This gives you $5000
Plant 5 flowers ( costs $1500)
gives you $3000 plus 200 XP
Move your first buildings 20 times
gives you £1500 and 50xp
This means you start the game with an extra $9250 and 290xp
Once you are high enough level get a business centre you get 1 of the special money every day save that up for expansions.
Odd achievements
Do 5 things in a moment.
I spent ages trying to collect money as fast as i could.
For this you need to pay the extra and do a instant build.
Secret achievements I have
Stop the hum/rumble ( cant remember the name it changes once you get it)
move to solar power only.
Hotdog fan
$4000 200xp
Build 15 hotdog stands
Atristocrat
Build 3 golf clubs at the same time
$75000 1250xp
We remember about the defender
Build two hold defenders simultaneously
$30000 and 1500xp
Hope people can add to this and it doesn't just get lost in the void.
thanks for the tips
I have also started playing the game recently but got bored by having to move those buildings and making roads
Will try your tips

Also hotdog stands are great at the start only give you $70 but you get one XP every 2 mins. So.have like 10 and you will level up much faster.

To add to the "hidden message" in the OP:
If you use the system clock to advance the time, you will notice that if you advance it a week, you have to wait a week for the game to catch up to it before you can play normally again. However, there is a way around this.
All you have to do is put something in storage and place it back on the map. Once you do that, the clock resets on that building and you don't have to wait for the game to catch up to the date that you advanced it to. However, you would have to place every individual building in storage and back on the map in order to reset everything on the map. This can get annoying once you expand a few regions and you have a bunch of buildings, so keep that in mind.

I had a back-up done with Titanium Backup that allowed me to restore the previous version. Coincidentally enough, I had done a backup the day before the new version came out, so I was able to restore it hardly lose any progress I had made.
Yay me!
Started playing yesterday. You have to spend a lot of time at the beginning. I'm lvl8 now and just built the business center and the galaxy restaurant (improving atm). Now I want to get rid of all those "fast money makers" so I can check every hour to collect my money and thats it I moved tree's like an idiot lol, but I got the skillfull designer achievement. now I have to move another 1k facilities, LOL!
question about "the sun only"-achievement:
If I get rid of all my windmill's and build a solar power plant for 60k I'll get the achivement + 200k? seems very fair to me and what if I rebuild some windmills afterwards? will I lose 200k?^^

I googled a bit about "the sun only"-achievement. many complained about not getting the reward allthough they have a solar plant and no windmills. lets hope this is not happening to me, just started building a solar plant. when its done I'm gonna destroy the windmills, hope the achievement's gonna trigger
I really like it ^_^

So my wife had a Droid 1 which I have rooted and backed up with TB. No she has a Droid Charge and would like her island game moved to the new phone along with her progress. Seeing how I cant root her phone yet (ver. ed2) Is there a way to move the app over and bring the data with it?
Not sure where else in the forums to post this question.
Thanks

OK, I know it's not haunted but...starting last evening my D3 periodically, and apparently randomly as concerns timing, begins playing one of the songs (and always the same song) I have stored both on my device and the cloud (google music beta). Oddly, I cannot find which program is playing the song.
Only thing I have changed lately near the same time as this starting was telling Titanium Backup Pro to backup to my external SD card instead of the internal storage, but I cannot imagine that has anything to do with this, can it??
Anyone else have similar experience that can tell me how to stop it?

I've actually noticed this trend in android devices in the past year or so. its not like a video game you can beta test with thousands of people. they gotta test the best they can in the development lab and factory... but users always find a way to stress phones way beyond what the devs thought we would do.
ahhhhh gotta love the users.

Well yeah! Because users are absolutely retarded!
Just bought a HTC 8S to give Windows Phone 8 a bash. I'm a long time Android / IOS / Windows Mobile fan / tinkerer but have never seen this before. I've bricked a few phones in my time while trying to flash them but never managed to brick one just using it with no utils or tools.
Managed to brick the phone within 24 hours, without being silly. You can too it seems. Simply install your apps, I ended up with ~70Mb free (no external SD card installed). Install English (US) Speech Pack. ~25Mb download, then restart when prompted. You'll see the gears spinning then the sad face. Your phone is now rendered useless.
It appears that Microsoft fails to check if it has enough space to install an update before it attempts to install. This means that any phone that doesn't have enough space to install a system update will be bricked.
I guess it wouldn't be an issue if you could hard reset or re-flash the ROM, however the first doesn't do anything and there isn't a recovery ROM for my CID.
I'll be returning the phone. Not a good second impression. I bought a HTC Mozart when they came out, nice UI but nothing special. Don't get me wrong, WP8 is better I just can't see where 2 solid years of development and millions of dollars has gone. My guess is that most people looking for a smartphone won't either. No wonder Android and IOS phones are killing it.
Um I think u can just hard reset it which clears the memory

Yeah I don't know about WP8, it seems like they take to long to do something and when they finally do the scramble to do it and end up rushing to push it out leading to missed features and updates. They need to stop these practices, iOS and Android are the ones killing WP8, it seems to be doing a good job at killing it's self. Come on, two years later and no custom notification sounds options? Give me a break.
Honestly I have a Lumina 822 and have ben fortunate in not having any of these issues in fact my phone has been great; no reboots or freezes. But yes I feel your pain as MS hasn't really changed much since the Windows Mobile days in the sense that they still do everything tool late and rushed. Come on MS wake up and catch your snap; it's 2013 already!!

I’m not really sure the date glitch in clicker heroes still works. For those of you who don’t know, earlier you could just change your date and time and end up gaining so many gold coins. Tried it after years but didn’t work. Do you guys know about any such working glitch or trick in the game to progress faster?

My man!! Ik about the glitch, it didn't last for long but I had so much fun with it. I even told all my friends about it and all of them went ham. I used to just set a date for like 1 month later and doing this ended up making me a lot of money. I remember I once set a date for sometime in 2030 and the game crashed lol. I think there must be some upper limit to what date can be set.

I see, I don’t know about any similar glitches though but used a trick to progress very quickly. I basically used an auto clicker that just automates the clicks (based on what delay and frequency you set for the clicks). It was really helpful, especially in the start when I didn’t have any heroes and upgrades as such.

Auto clicker? Isn’t it supposed to be one of the upgrades in the game? I don’t think they’re even worth the rubies you pay for. I just bought two and after that the price kept increasing so I didn't think buying more would be worth it.

No no, I’m not talking about the in-game auto clicker. I used a third party tool, and the best part is you neither have to spend your rubies nor your real money for it, it's totally free. Also with the game by automating the buying with this tool I made 4x progress just by one smart loop created. And please, don’t even compare it with the in-game ones, it can provide a CPS of 200+
