By default, Windows Mobile HTC HD2 will have auto selection on the network band ~ 2G (GSM) and 3G (WCDMS/UMTS). However, I don’t have a strong 3G HSDPA signal at my place. And it will switch back to EDGE or GPRS whenever 3G signal dropped below 1 bar. This is really annoying. Is there a way to make it stay at 3G HSDPA permanently? Yes, here is the step by step guide to fix it.
Playing with Android on my HTC HD2 lately. One of the Android applications that I wanted to try out long time ago ~ Google Sky Map. It is an exclusive application that Google develops for Android only. I cannot use it on Windows Mobile. Therefore, I tried to install it on Android 2.2 Froyo HTC HD2. But failed…
Tried several different Android 2.2 build from HTC Desire build to Google Nexus One build. None of them are working. Installation failed for unknown reason -18. Finally, I found a solution to fix can’t install application issue on Android HTC HD2.
8GB Kingston 133X Elite Pro Compact Flash Card is another that I bought for my Canon EOS 400D SLR camera. I felt its writing speed was slower than 2GB Transcend 120X Compact Flash Card when started to use it. But it should not be since it is 133X compare to 120X which is slower. The speed improved some when I used camera to format it. So I just continue to shot without any concern since Canon EOS 400D SLR camera does not require very high speed CF card. Until now, I discovered a big surprise…
Most of the digital camera and camcorder are able to record HD video nowadays. And most of them are using SD card which have SDHC and SDXC standards. The writing speed is very important as you don’t want to miss recording any frame of the video. The speed class rating is based on minimum writing speed of the SD cards. There are class 2, class 4, class 6 and class 10 SD cards in the market now.
I started to use TCPMP 0.72RC1 on my old Windows Mobile 2003 SE several years back. It is a very powerful free media player on Windows Mobile devices. However, I have problem to use it on my new HTC HD2 due to different screen resolution. I tried several TCPMP builds but no luck on getting them to work until I found the very one done by xda-developers. Note – TCPMP = The Core Pocket Media Player. It was replaced by commercially-licensed CorePlayer.
