Toyboy2000 on XDA-Developers have set up a huge thread on XDA-Developers containing many very useful HTC HD2 tips and tricks which should help any new owners (and at this stage we are all new users) get up and running pretty rapidly.

I have extracted a few of my favourites, but as can be seen from the entry numbers (which I have left in place) there are many, many more over at XDA-Developers that may just be the solution to an issue that may have been troubling you.

See a few below:

2. Enable Website Thumbnails When Navigating Back in Opera
Go to HKLM\Software\Opera\Info and change EnableVisualBack from 0 to 1. Press back key and use gestures to go back pages.

3. Increase Resolution of Back Thumbnails
Go to HKLM\Software\Opera\Prefs\User Prefs and change History Thumbnail Size from 128 to 512.

4. Increase Number of Opera Tabs
Go to HKLM\Software\Opera\Prefs\User Prefs and change Maximum Allowed Tabs from 3 to say 9 (or any number)

6. Enable NaviPanel Without Owning the Car Kit/Navigation Dock
Go to Windows folder and copy NaviPanel.exe as a shortcut to Windows\Start Menu folder.

14. Activate Hidden Photo Modes
You can activate two hidden photo modes by using the following registry tweaks and then reset:
To enable Video Share mode:
Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P9
set "Enable" to "1"
To enable GPS Photo mode:
Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
set "Enable" to "1"

19. Improve Suggested T9 Dictionary With Custom Words
The Leo has a very useful hidden application in the Windows directory. You need to unhide hidden system and Rom files in order to find it. Find the file "eT9MyWords.exe" in the Windows directory and add a shortcut to this file in your Windows/Start Menu folder.
When in the application, add the most common words you use when using the keypad such as names, locations, user names, email addresses and other words not common in the standard T9 dictionary. For example if you are based in London, UK you could add the following locations:
Leicester, Piccadilly, Tottenham, Soho, Charring, Euston, Trafalgar, Clapham,
and words such as BRB, DVD, coz, lol, xoxo, [email protected], ciao, etc.

23. Enable Haptic Feedback in Opera for Link Clicking
Go to HKLM\Software\Opera\Defaults
Add new DWORD Value as Name: VibrationEnabled and DWORD Data (dec): 1

27. Disable Auto Screen Lock
If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab:

29. Tips to Improve Typing Accuracy on Keyboard
Tap each key very lightly and watch the keyboard as you type each letter. Don’t watch the suggested words that pop up. Type at a moderate pace. Don’t rush. Try the Align Screen option in the Settings/System/Screen menu. Don’t press hard. Press as light as physically possible – barely touching the screen and wait at each crosshair until it moves. If you are right handed, for the middle and two right most crosshairs use your right thumb and for the left two most crosshairs use your left thumb. If you were holding the phone with both hands and wanted to touch something on the extreme left of screen you would use your left thumb would you? Also, turn on Spell Correction in Touch Input options and turn off vibration for keys too!
Finally the following cab decreases the sensitivity on the keyboard allowing for less mistakes. Really works. A life saver.
http://rapidshare.com/files/30889673…hScreen_v2.cab (Cab to decrease sensitivity)
http://rapidshare.com/files/30827317…n_original.cab (Cab to restore default settings of keyboard)

33. Enable Auto Data Disconnect for Auto Email Downloads and Other Downloads with a Cab File
When you have auto email downloads enabled, data is not disoconnected after mail retrieval and thus your battery is drained much faster. Modify the following reg edit to have data disconnect after 60 seconds. You can test this by tapping on the notification bar while downloading emails and watch the data connection close after idle for 60 seconds. Please note. Data connection will NOT auto disconnect if you have any HTC Sense auto download enabled such as Weather, Twitter, Stocks, Facebook or Time Sync. Please set these apps to manual download only. Please note that this setting has the possible effect of disabling simultaneous voice and data on some devices, even if you are on a capable network and signal. Finally the following app will truely disable ALL data connections AND change to GSM mode in standby to save even more battery power:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478519
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings
CacheTime = 60
SuspendResume = should be blank. Delete "GPRS_bye_if_device_off" text.
VPNCacheTime = 60

35. Enable Clickable Links in Zoomed Out Opera
This reg edit allows you to tap on a link without the need for zooming in first.
HKLM/Software/Opera/Info/az_overview_threshold
Change value from 64 to 32

36. Get BBC iPlayer Mobile Website Working on HD2
The current Opera 9.7 version on the HD2 is not detected by the BBC iplayer website. Here is a modifcation to Opera preferences you can do to get it to work. Launch Opera and type: opera:config in the url bar. No http:// prefix needed. Tap on User Prefs at bottom of the list and then scroll down to Custom User-Agent. Delete ALL text in the box and enter HTC_Touch_HD_T8282. Scroll down to the bottom of User Prefs list and hit Save. Exit Opera and restart it. Now go to http://bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer. Videos are opened in your Streaming App on your phone.

39. Speed Up Web Page Loading Considerably/ Enables Wireless N mode
The following registry tweak will enable almost instantaneous web page loading in the web browser. It apparently enables wireless N mode but seems to work with cellular data too. Go to:
HKLM/Comm/BCMSDDHD1/Parms
11nModeDisable = Change from 1 to 0

40. Enable Magnifying Box When Selecting Text
Press and hold your finger on any text in a HTC app such as Messaging and an iphone-esque selection procedure with handles to drag and highlight text will appear. Modify the following registry entry to add a magnifying window as you select and highlight the text. Go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/TextSelection/EnableMagnifier and change from 0 to 1.

Users with HTC’s latest TouchFlo3D will likely not see much point in this software, but if you are using a device with the less sophisticated TouchFlo2D you may very often find yourself dropping into the less than finger-friendly standard Windows Mobile menus to do such things as setting up new appointments.

GekoNewCal is a new application for calendars of Windows Mobile smartphones that aims to address this.

The software uses a kinetic picker instead of the stylus and a finger friendly set-up to make the process of creating an appointment easy and fun. 

The software however still remains sophisticated, still allowing for example for meeting invitations to be sent out. 

In fact, while scheduling an appointment, it’s possible to call friends and colleagues to take part by using a specifically created SMS, carrying all the details of the meeting. If accepted, a confirmation will be sent to the meeting organizer and the date will be automatically scheduled in both calendars.

It has all the standard features of the Windows Mobile Appointment setup screen, such as enabling the user to define appointments not only by specifying date, start time and duration of each event, but also by setting a number of additional options, select the category which the appointment refers to, sets its lasting as “all day event”, manage its recurrence (none, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) and activate a reminder alarm from 5 minutes to 1 hour before the event.

GekoNewCal  is available in Italian, English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Greek, Czech, Danish, Polish, Ukrainian, Romanian, Chinese (traditional and simplified) and Japanese. If necessary, the user can insert any other language simply by creating and adding a resource file with own translation.

The software is even skin-able, with a gallery of skins soon to be available at www.gekonewmobile.com.

GekoNewCal supports QVGA, VGA and WVGA screens. The developer aims to follow up with GekoTask, an application aimed at the management of tasks lists, fully integrated with GekoNewCal and working with the same logic and the same visual.

GekoNewCal costs 3.99 Euro and is available for purchase at www.gekonewmobile.com.

Another bombshell to drop out of Sony’s recent Investor/Analyst Meeting was the revelation of an upcoming online store called the “Sony Online Service.” While the name is tentative, the features Sony are planning for it aren’t and we should expect it sometime in 2010. But what does “Sony Online Service” really mean? Is it just the infrastructure of the Playstation Network with a new name and more multimedia? Hardly. This isn’t just another competitor to iTunes – its far beyond that.

The upcoming Sony Online Service will be a personal and premium digital ecosystem. In the first slide, you can clearly see that Sony will begin this process by enabling network connectivity with all of its digital imaging products throughout 2010 and beyond, enabling devices to upload, store and share their content online. This personal content (created by you) will coincide with the vast majority of Sony’s entertainment offerings, including music, movies, games, and books. Sony will also embrace many 3rd party content providers to bolster their initial offering – something they have proven themselves capable of with their current partners in the Playstation Store and streaming partners in their latest networked Blu-ray product.

However, one of the main focus points will be you.

“One of the things we really need to get into is the whole concept of user-driven content,” EVP Kazuo Hirai of Sony said in an interview.

“There already are a lot of services out there but we want to try to bring something that is uniquely Sony to the experience.”

It doesn’t stop there though – Sony also plans to offer streaming media, applications (including 3rd party), services (such as health/fitness, banking, etc), and shopping (such as the ability to buy products at SonyStyle). The great thing is that many Sony devices will be able to view the service, including VAIO computers, Blu-ray players, BRAVIA Televisions, and of course the PS3 and PSP. This will ensure that Sony products have access to the total entertainment experience.

Sony has also identified a problem with their current television strategy – there is little retention business. This means that once they sell a television, they can’t really make much money on it afterwards. Sure, if someone buys a HDTV from Sony, they might buy a Playstation 3, a Sony Blu-ray player, or a Sony home theater. But there is no guarantee that they will buy a Sony. That same consumer could buy a XBOX360, a competitors Blu-ray player, and a competitors home theater. It was clear to Sony, after witnessing the revenue success with the App Store for the iPhone, that a similar model must come to TV. With the Sony Online Service, Sony can enable consumers to make purchase through their televisions through microtransactions. Sony calls this the “Evolving TV.”

The Sony Online Service will leverage the Playstation Network infrastructure, meaning they will co-exist (at least initially). Only one user ID will be necessary to access the service. This is all a part of the “UX Platform,” meaning a common user experience across all products. This means that the appearance of the store should be the essentially the same no matter what device you view it on, whether it be through a Playstation product or on your BRAVIA, VAIO, or Reader. Sony has also noted in the slide above that there will be new mobile products that will be able to access the service.

The Sony Online Service will be part of a larger Cloud service, as demonstrated above. We’re still a little unsure of this slide, but essentially I believe Sony will make their televisions much more intelligent, essentially integrating the ability to stream content from one device to the next. An example of this would be integrating the functionality of the TDM-NC1 Digital Media Port into a BRAVIA TV. There are more plans for the Sony Online Service as well judging by this slide, but we will let you make your own interpretations.

So, when should we expect this total revolution in networked Sony products? Hard to tell, but 2010 seems to be the year.

“(We’d like to) at least get the service up and running within the next calendar year…earlier in the year would be obviously a lot more preferable,” Executive Vice-President Kazuo Hirai said in an interview with Dow Jones Newswires Friday.

These are a series of hotfixes packaged as exes (partly cause cabs look bad, and partly to prove I can).

So far, there are three, though I can add more if people want/can give me tweaks.

CameraModes enables Burst, Picture theme, sports,video Share and GPSPhoto in the camera.

Opera 10 Sensor Fix enables the GSensor in Opera 10

SecurityPolicy disables warnings about unsigned whatever…

The UI should be self explanatory, with swipe gestures used throughout rather than buttons…

Today on BBO, we are featuring the classic and still undefeated Leo flight simulator. This application was one of the best Windows Mobile  application in 2007, and since nothing else has risen up to challenge it, remains the one and only Windows Mobile OS  flight simulator.

I used this application on my phone (HTC Touch Pro2) this whole week, and I love it. This software has A LOT of trade offs like graphics, time and power. I rate this app  5/5, as there is nothing better,  if there is I want to be the first to know about it.

For people that want to have a little fun on their phones and want it to be a flight simulator, you kind of have to get this. There is also a new feature that supports G-sensor for HTC devices, so get that version if you can.

Get it here.

The worm-ridden iPhone has just turned more rotten, with a new virus spreading from Australia and infecting iPhones in the Netherlands, Hungary, Portugal and Brazil, affecting thousands.

"After the 5 euro idiot, Ikee with Rick Astley and Intego’s privacy, this worm is doing really bad things," said Scott McIntyre, Security Officer for XS4ALL Internet BV.

The new worm can steal data, connects to its creators (apparently using a server in Lithuania) and gives them complete control over the phone.  The worm also searches the SMS database, possibly for bank codes and installs itself in the start-up script.  It then initiates a search for other vulnerable iPhones on the same network to spread itself further, often draining the iPhone battery in the process.

While this worm takes advantage of the default password SSH vulnerability in jaibroken iPhones, the attacks have obviously increased significantly in sophistication, making it likely that it will not be long before hackers take advantage from other vulnerabilities in the OS.  The main saving grace is however that the iPhone OS, which was originally hackable simply by viewing an image in the browser, has been significantly hardened by Apple’s constant battle with the Jailbreaking community, a process which Apple has called illegal and which may ultimate rob iPhone users from being able to customize or multi-task on their devices.

The rumour is unsourced, but MSMobiles claim to have received information which not just suggests but confirms that HTC will be releasing an official Windows Mobile 7 upgrade for the HTC HD2, which will apparently be announced as soon as Microsoft officially announces Windows Mobile 7, likely at Mobile World Congress in February 2010.

While we know the HD2 matches the Chassis 1 specs rumoured to be the minimum spec for Windows Mobile 7, HTC’s refusal to release a Windows Mobile 6.5 update for the HTC Touch HD, which easily matches the Windows Mobile 6.5 specs, would, I am sure, significantly reduce our readers confidence in this possibility.

On the other hand HTC may very well need to do this, if they intend to continue selling a Windows Mobile 6.5 device after Windows Mobile 7 is announced.

Besides working on Windows Mobile 7, some portion of Microsoft’s mobile engineers are continuing to work on Windows Mobile 6.5, brining it up to date with technologies like capacitive screens and making the UI more palatable to this generation of smartphone users.

The latest build is build 28002, which has been dubbed Windows Mobile 6.5.3 (yes, I don’t know what happened to 6.5.2 either).  Its not clear what has changed, but as usual the UI again shows some more polish, especially in the controls, as can be seen in the clock alarm setting screen.  It is also reported to be faster than before, which is always a welcome change.

Read more about this build in this XDA-Developers thread, and some more information on the build numbering scheme at FuzeMobility here.

Thanks DavidK for the tip.

The developer of Tigre have already posted about his great work on our Page 2 section, which enables OpenGL programming for .Net programmers. Then there were much concern about the speed of the resulting application, mainly due to .Net’s reputation.

The video above I think does a lot to allay those fears, with smooth rendering of a high polygon model with great lighting effects being clearly very achievable.

By the way, if you have an application you wish to expose to hundreds of thousands of  readers consider posting about it on Page 2, for free of course. No need for Phippu to get all the attention

WIFI Remote Access is  a great application that allows one to access the contents of your smartphone over WIFI from any computer on the same network.

The application installs a web browser on your phone, which allows one to browse your data, pictures, and music and send files from your computer to your device. You can also see pictures and listen music on your computer directly from the web interface.

The software even features a registry editor, for all the tweakers and even allows upload of multiple files at once through this interface.

Not too much to say here other than an OS update for the Verizon BlackBerry Tour 9630, 4.7.1.61, has started to trickle out. Although it’s already available to download from Verizon’s website and through BlackBerry Desktop Manager, we’ve been told that a handful of users will receive on-device update notifications throughout the night with general OTA availability tomorrow. No change log has been released. Let’s just hope that it’s not much longer until OS 5.0 drops for your beloved tuh tuh tuh TOUR (yeah, we remember).

C-motech’s Snapdragon powered Windows Mobile MID with its 7 inch WVGA screen was shown off at Qualcomm’s event today. While the device has been shown off earlier (see the video below) this is the first time an official, not hacked device, has been seen in public with running Windows Mobile 6.5.1.

The device sports 3G, WIFI and WIMAX, so would presumably be at home on nearly any network, and is set to launch in Q1 2010 (presumably with Windows Mobile 6.5.1. firmly in place).

Microsoft is having a tough time in the mobile OS sphere at present, and wherever Steve Ballmer turns he is reminded of this.

He was most recently confronted about his mobile strategy at Microsoft’s shareholder conference, where he was asked why he does not team up with Nokia to fend of Android.

Steve Ballmer answered in full:

Small and important fact, we have greater market share than Google’s android. I remain dedicated to keeping higher market share, in fact quite a lot higher market share than Google’s Android, its a brand new product.

Of the smartphone market, which is the way these things would normally be computed, we would be 10-12%, Google would be 3%, Apple would be about 20% or so, Blackberry would be about 25%, Nokia would be some place  around 45%, just to give relevant share.

And certainly our objective is to have the leading position amongst these players in the long term. It is a competitive game, we have just recently launched a new generation of Windows phones with new software.  We are going to keep investing, I think we have a lot of opportunity to improve our product and our market position. I think we are early in the game.

I think we are on the right strategy, which is to focus in on the software that goes into phones, as apposed to building phones.  I think that will allow us to offer a diversity of windows phones, just as there is a diversity of Windows PCs which is superior to anything you see from RIM with the Blackberry or with Apple.

We hope to, over time, to see what we can do with Nokia, we have a limited partnership with them,to start we are working together on office mobility, we spent a lot of time with them very much focussed on that, that aspect, but not at the Windows level, there is more work to do there, but undoubtedly we have our work cut out for us.

We are very focussed, we’ve really injected a ton of additional talent in Microsoft employees, very good thinkers, very good innovators, into that area, and we’ve got our heads down to do the best.

While staying above the Android’s current 3.5% may seem like a pretty unambitious target, Google’s Mobile OS is predicted by many to become the number 2 mobile operating system in the next 5 years, so Microsoft certainly need to do much to regain the hearts and minds of the world’s mobile phone consumers.

Well kids, Google has just released some serious information about the much anticipated Chrome OS at today’s webcast, so grab some popcorn and buckle up, ’cause here we go. Google Chrome OS has a radically different approach to computing, and assumes that most of what you want to do on your computer involves your web browser and internet connectivity — and when we think about it, are they so wrong? Those of you who were expecting an Android type interface are going to be sorely disappointed, as the Chrome browser, in a nutshell, is Chrome OS. So let’s just get this out there right now: this isn’t going to be an OS designed for video editing, Photoshopping, or 3D modeling. This is a lightweight conduit for access to online information and utilities. No doubt all of this has piqued your interest, so hit the jump to check out the full story.

Google has said flat out they designed the Chrome OS with three things in mind: speed, simplicity, and security, so we are going break down some of the finer points they touched upon under these pretenses.

Speed

Several times Google engineers stated that turning on your Chrome OS powered netbook should be like turning on a television; hit the power button and within a couple seconds you should be browsing. They have been focusing on this and working hard to improve upon it. Currently Chrome OS’ cold boot time is 7 seconds to the login window, with an additional 3 seconds for user login making for a total boot time of 10 seconds. Not bad. Google is hoping to have that time shaved down even further by the time they are ready for release.

Simplicity

Your information is stored in the cloud. No user bits are going to be stored on the modest solid state hard drive that all Chrome OS netbooks are going to come with. While this may be a terrifying prospect to some, it does afford Google some flexibility to rework the traditional computing work flow. There are no application updates to be installed, no backup solutions needed, and no maintenance operations to perform. When you login to the could you can be sure that your Chrome OS netbook is up to date, patched, and ready to go. The main interface, to the shagrin of many we’re sure, is also very simple in that it’s a Chrome browser window. You can customize shortcuts and favorites, but the foundation UI isn’t going to blow anyone’s socks off with eye candy.

Security

This was really getting hammered upon. Security is accomplished in two main ways: architecture setup and the cloud. First and foremost there are three partitions setup on the Chrome OS’ SSD drive, a root partition (which is read-only and holds the OS), a user partition (which by default is encrypted), and a swap partition. When you boot Chrome OS it checks the integrity of the OS and if it finds that your OS has somehow been corrupted or compromised by maleware, it simply re-downloads a fresh copy of the OS from the intertubes. All on its own. Again, your information is in the cloud and the system is technically stateless, so the OS can be restored at point in time without any detriment to user data.

We know that a lot of you have some burning questions and want to see the UI in action, so have a couple videos queued up. Go ahead, we know you’re curious.

One of the important updates to Office Mobile 2010 was Sharepoint Mobile.  Unfortunately Sharepoint is a technology that is really only used in a corporate context, so most Windows Mobile users have no idea what it does.

Wikipedia says:

Microsoft SharePoint, also known as Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies, is a collection of products and software elements that includes, among a growing selection of components, web browser based collaboration functions, process management modules, search modules and a document-management platform. SharePoint can be used to host web sites that access shared workspaces, information stores and documents, as well as host defined applications such as wikis and blogs. All users can manipulate proprietary controls called "web parts" or interact with pieces of content such as lists and document libraries.

MSMobiles have published a review of the Windows Mobile client, and seemed to have some difficulty getting it up and running.  They persevered however and  in the end had this to say about it:

It looks like SharePoint Mobile can be a differentiator that will make purchase of Windows Mobile phones worthwhile! – a reason why to buy Windows Mobile phone rather than Android or iPhone.

… at last Windows Mobile 6.5 has a unique selling point not available at other platforms: Microsoft’s own SharePoint client! If you use SharePoint in your organization/company/enterprise then you should get Windows Mobile 6.5 phone!

Its a bit late, but the Windows Mobile 6.5 update for T-Mobile version of the HTC Touch Diamond 2 has finally become available for UK subscribers.

The update can be downloaded  here and brings the usual HTC Sense update also.
