quirky things

---

so, I've been playing for most of the day, and it is certainly going to take some getting used to, however there are a couple of 'weird things'

1) if I reset my phone, and leave it powered up..after a minute or so, it goes to the alarm page..not everytime, but maybe 3 out of 5 times....very odd

2) when I get a new text and hit the tab, it doesn't take me to the new text, it takes me to the last conversation I was having (and I can't find a way to turn off the threaded sms, which I hate)

3) I'm not a fan of the contact page. I prefer to have a choice of what I do when clicking a contact image (send a text, call mobile, send email etc) and I can only set one option.

can HTC sense be disabled? so I could maybe install SPB Mobile Shell, just to see if I get on better with it

On the contacts page you should be able to click the contact name and it will open the contact instead of the default action...

Hi,

1 - I don't get
2 - I do get - weird!
3 - When you add a contact, the top option is to show the contact card. This gives you the choices you want.

even though I dont have it yet ... yes you can disable manila and use ex. SPB

sometimes when i lock my screen on the homepage, on unlocking it opens up a random tab, the calendar for example.

holding instead of tapping will open the contact instead of performing the default action.

Yes SPB can be installed, it's one of the first things I did. It's ridiculous the amount of shortcuts you are allowed to put on the default home screen, plus it takes longer to navigate than SPB (I don't use most of the tabs on the default, otherwise it could be good).

I think I'm going to try it then. I've always used Mobile Shell (for the past 3 years), but HTC Sense looked so good I figured it would be the thing to keep me away from SPB.

and some of the things are amazing, the animated weather is stunning, but some of the other things are just odd, and difficult to navigate.

might persevere with it...might not

A suggestion from someone who still doesn't have the HD2...I plan to stick with HTC's interface for 2 weeks, no matter what. I'm sure I'll be muttering under my breath a lot in the first few days. But since it's a radical change from my TyTN II and Spb Mobile Shell combo, I figure I should try to adjust my approach to the HD2 design. If, after 2 weeks, I'm still muttering to myself, I'll turn off HTC's interface and go back to Spb's. I set the same parameters when I switched from my PDA to the TyTN II, with a goal of reducing my use of a stylus to the absolute minimum. It was frustrating, but after a couple weeks (that was 2 years ago) I almost totally stopped using a stylus. Just proves you CAN teach an old dog new tricks.

That's my word for the day.
