Hi, only had the HD2 for a week and I'm trying to get to grips with it. So far an amazing phone. I've already found some useful tips on here, like the bluetooth fix when tomtom install kills it.
I have noticed that when I install the youtube app (also found on here as t-mobile remove it) then the phone stops playing 3gpp videos.
Without the app, I just browse to the memory card and tap on the movie and off it goes, when it's installed a single tap of the file just highlights it and it goes no further.
I'd love some help on this.....
Many thanks in advance,
Chris.
Bump?? Someone must have an idea what's going on here?
Many thanks,
Chris.
Hi Chris, i've got the same problem with t-mobile uk. they've disabled the youtube app, i spoke to their technical guys and they personally think it was stupid of tmobile to remove this (no app and disabled it from the browser, the only option im afraid is either use youtube app but no persoanl videos, or remove youtube and watch your videos again. they ARE working on a fix (apparently) but wouldnt hold my breath. the only workaround i have managed to use is skyfire with a wireless connection (you wont get any sound with 3G).
soz, but you're not alone

Flash a standard HTC ROM or a custom ROM from here on XDA-developers.
You will not be disappointed. My Leo lasted less than a week on the stock T-Mobile ROM. Why they have to stick their own ROM on an otherwise unbranded device is beyond me.

anyone able to make a CAB for the youtube app? seems like Tmob UK have removed this for some reason!!
I have an branded Uk HD2 with T-mobile PAYG sim and YouTube finds no videos! they must be blocking...
I need the Youtube program too!! if I put an original HTC rom on the phone as a replacement
1. will the youtube program work?
and
2.will the t-mobile internet settings be difficult to re-install ?
Hi,
here is the CAB.
with friendly greet
starbase64
T-Mobile aren't blocking the YouTUbe app. I suspect that the Youtube App was taken out in error as they haven't taken it out of any of their other devices (such as the G2 Touch), and that supports high quality YouTube clips, as does the T-Mobile Touch 2 and probably loads more of their handsets.
Make sure you get the childlock removed on TMObile. you have to ring them up to do this. It stops you viewing any user generated (potentially nasty) content. Crazy that it's on by default and they make you turn it off rather than the other way around.
I had to ring up twice to get them to do it for me.
Saying that, now YouTube works perfectly over HSDPA but not over WiFi.
Oh and I also removed TMobiles proxy that is set up. This was stopping Twitter from working so I don't know if that had an affect on YoUTube also
I asked TMobile tech support about the proxy and why it was needed and why it was added if it can just be removed but they couldn't tell me anything. They had no clue and could only advise me on what the settings should be.
Be aware to install this cab for a german t-mobile device!
after install, no videos in HTC album are playing.
Hopefully a working Youtube.cab or a fix for this comes on.
You can find the program in the windows directory, make a shortcut in start/program/
...
As Chimp said, TMobile block practically all video sites through the phones data conection, not the WiFi.
This will stop any videos downloading through the YouTube app. Only way you can get round it is calling them up, getting the block removed and away you go.
Some what annoying, when you give them your D.O.B anyway... surely they must know you're over 18 to watch "inapropriate" videos anyway!?
You can just log into the t-mobile website and untick the content block, no need to bother calling them up going through the countless menus.

Hi,
Had the device less than a day and loving it.
I'm finding Pocket Scrobbler can't detect track information from the HTC Music Player. I've messaged the softwares developer, but in the meantime I was wondering whether anyone had managed to get it working, or if people have a good alternative?
Regarding Fring, I tried the installation via SMS, it gave me a generic WinMo installation. It appears to install fine, but then when you select the Fring icon to open the program nothing happens. Installed a couple of times, restarted phone, but no joy with either of those simple fixes. Again, suggestions or alternatives?

As far as I know, current fring versions doesn't work with wm6.5.
The last rom I have used fringe was Roms based on wm6.1.

Ah, I see. Thanks for that.
Anyone know of other programs that amalgamate your IM/VoIP accounts for WinMo 6.5?
I have been using nimbuzz and it seems to work fine..

I am a Fring fan as well and I have written in Fring forums about the nature of the problem during my HD time (running Leo ROMs) the problem occurs only when the HTC Message is running.
So a temp fix is disabling HTC Sense from Today and enjoy Fring..
I hope the guys at Fring find a work around solution for this.
Thanks for the suggestion of Nimbuzz, I installed it a few hours before reading your post
Okay, I've spent the last 3 days looking for any info on accessing the Sprint Music Store after installing an Energy ROM. I've found a couple things that looked promising, but nothing has worked. If there is already an answer here somewhere, I'm sorry, but I've missed it.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Is there a specific reason why you would even want sprint music store? You could get off a lot cheaper by signing up for a different plan through an online network. (there are plenty) Plus you can use just about any mobile browser to download your songs.
There may be, but I have never seen a Sprint Music Store program for a flashed ROM (Unless the chef has specifically cooked it into his recipe.)
BUT..................... If you are really hard up for sprint music downloads, you can just go to the sprint mobile website and download any of their mobile apps/music.
Hope this helps.
It's not that I HAVE to have the Sprint Music store, but.... our contract at work gives us a few free downloads each month, and I already have almost 100 songs that I can't use now that I've flashed my ROM.
It looks like Sprint took away the ability to log on to their website and download songs.
I am able to log on to the sprint website and download. Are you using Pocket Internet Explorer or Opera? You should be able to use PIE or Opera 9.5 and login/download. I am not sure about newer versions of opera/opera mini/skyfire/etc.

Which ROM are you using? Energy ROM comes with Opera 10 and they are not cooking Sprint Music in to that ROM.
When you say you can log on to the Sprint website and dowload, what do you mean? Can you be a little more specific? What URL are you using?
I am using NRG "Leo" ROM March 7 23542 WM 6.5.5 w/ Sense 2.5.2012
If you don't want to use the Opera 10 Beta, just install a different version. Grab a cab file anywhere and find the browser that works best for you.
If you go to "sprint.com" and at the bottom left of the screen click the "digital lounge" link you have access to everything you can possibly download to your phone through sprint. Games, wallpapers, ringtones, calltones, and music. (among others).
The exact address of the generic digital lounge is:
https://manage.sprintpcs.com/Manage...HP_DME_Link_ShopDigitalLounge!26zone=Overview
Although to purchase anything, you have to sign in to your sprint vision account.
Hope this helps, let me know if there is anything else you need help with on this....

Yes, I see the music link here, but when I log in, it goes away and is replaced by a TV/Radio link. I heard Sprint was only going to allow certain devices to only download music on the device, and that seems to be true from what I'm seeing.
Sorry, didn't even go that far with it. I gave up on the sprint store back when I had my PPC6700 (BTW I have had the exact same phones as in your sig... except for the diamond.)
only thing I could suggest is to flash a shipped ROM, download away at the music store, and move the music files to your storage card. Sucks but I have nothing else, and haven't found anything in the way of installing the software for it.

I thought of that before I flashed the ROM, but it seems as though there's no way to keep the DRM intact. None of the downloaded songs play anymore.

Email adobe about it. This effects us all.
But for now skyfire will work.

http://get.skyfire.com/dl_winmo.php check this out
or maybe you can find Skyfire in the MS Marketplace.
thanks guys
i installed skyfire,it has gave me video back when browsing thankfully,tho not without probs on some sites,streams really slowly whereas when i was on the same sites previously with IE it streamed very smoothly.
Also is there any option to watch video full screen when browsing,as i can only seem to make it zoom in which is ok but the fact i cant get the address bar or skyfire toolbar to dissapear makes the viewable screen too small.
tap the icon on the bottom right (where the settings are). There you will find "Fullscreen Mode" to hide the adressbar and toolbar.
skyfire available on omarket, also try uzard.com pretty good and free!

Have you ever thought about using google's youtube app rather than viewing video streams through your browser?
I've attached the cab for it in case anyone is interested.
Kindest regards,
fitzy-boy
Hi everyone. I've been hearing mention of some sort of Internet Sharing application or addon to the comm manager, that would allow me to turn my phone into some sort of hub. I'd like to be able to use my phone's connection with my iPod Touch, (or perhaps, other devices), so my searching is what has lead me here.
However, I don't really know what the "defacto" modification is for getting this capability. I've seen several threads already. Also, they seem to lack in documentation. They come in cab files - would that mean I can just download and install from my phone right away?
So if anyone can recommend me a wifi sharing app, (preferably for the HTC Ozone), I would be very grateful.

Auugghh. The website logged me out, so I lost my entire post
Anyhow, I'll try and re-write what I had last time:
So I'd like to use 0.9.1, since it seems to be the last free version. I downloaded it and installed it ok, but I have no idea how to use it past that. Could you possibly link me to a guide, or detail it in here?
Well, I gave in at the airport and just downloaded the trial.
Very nice. I'm so glad that I can use a browser that was a least half thought out (safari mobile) rather than that Intermet explorer. What a waste of my unlimited data plan that would have been.
Although, I'd like to be able to use that free version of WMWifi if I could. So does anyone happen to have a guide for it?
