For Blackberry type mail/service - check out

http://demo.smartner.com/internet/.

You can demo the service and help them iron out any bugs. The 'licence' on my service (installed today) expires the end of March 2005, so looks like we get a full 3 months to have a play.

Activation is as simple as

1. Download the client onto your XDA (CAB file)

2. Register the handheld (takes no more than 2 minutes)

3. Setup your email accounts

4. You're finished !!

Very customisable - allows filters etc.

I've no connection with the company, and don't know what they're going to charge when the 3 months are up, but it looks good !!!

HTH

Just downloaded and tried to installed 4 times, reboots my XDA everytime at start of install.
[General Topics] ian watson:
I have installed it and it works ok. When setting it up I'm not sure about the connection screen where you tell it how often to connect. I thought the idea of this software was for it to be connected all the time, and "push" the email to you as soon as its delivered.

At the moment it just seems like it connects every few mins to see if I have any new mail.

Can anyone explain it to me - Im sure Im missing something.

Thanks,

Ian

i've just set this up on mine, and it appears to be doing push, but i have a problem that when i switch the phone off, it disconnects, i was hopeing that like blackberry it would work without needing the pda to be on.

is it just me thats getting this ?
[General Topics] iggy:
I got it to work as well, but found that setting my email account to check every minute\or 5mins produced the same effect.

I did have one problem that Smartner is currently checking into and that is to uninstall the d... program. It would not let me uninstall, the second it starts to uninstall it rebootes the XDA.

So I moved the folder and removed the icons and registry settings. Tried to reinstall to see if I could maybe do a proper uninstall and when it starts the installation it reboots my XDA (justice for the rude uninstall i suppose).

Hi.

Im new to "push" email, but I thought it sends email to my PDA as it arrives on the server. But this Smartner software just seems to connect/check for email every 5 mins - is this true push emeil?

I used it for 8 hours one day and did not have any email sent to be, but the gprs cost/data seems to be alot.

Any comments on the above?

Smartner? What does it really provide?

I agree with last comment, it is great, works well, but what is the dfifference with seting my mail to check via GPRS every ten minutes?? I don't quite get it? Can someone enlighten me? SO far, it's free, and I like not having to pay 15GBP permonth for Blackberry...
[General Topics] cbrow51:
I tried Smartner a few months ago, prior to the 1.72.181 ROM upgrade, when I switched over to using the Blackberry client.

Smartner does indeed provide true push e-mail, but I found that the XDA has to be on (e.g. the screen active) for it to receive the mail when its pushed. Unlike Blackberry, Smartner does not seem to be able to switch the device "on" when mail is sent. When the screen is on, I was receiving e-mail via smartner actually FASTER than it received it on my RIM device!

You can get around the "asleep" problem by also having your e-mail messages autoforward from your e-mail account to your xda, as an SMS message. This forwards the first 160 charatcters of the e-mail as an SMS message, which in turn "wakes up" the xda and lets it receive the Smartner pushed message in full, including any attachments.

So what are the advantages over Blackberry or just having your e-mail client poll every few minutes?

I have found the Blackberry client to be very reliable, but it has one or two annoying problems... First is that the way Blackberry has been implemented on the XDA, means that the "Blackberry Web Client" does not show up in the "sounds and notifications" menu. This makes it impossible to set any kind of custom alert for when a Blackberry pushed message arrives. Second is that I have been unable to get any attachments using the Blackberry Web Client (BWC) software. On both these areas, Smartner performed much better. Could set notifications and get attachments no problem.

So what's the advantage over frequent polling? Well Smartner does really pust messages to the device as the arrive, so you can use it as a substitute to the RIM pager. In my experience, I have not been able to set anything less than every 15 mins for polling and have it work reliably. Either misses a connection or stops trying to connect regularly.

So if you want true push e-mail, that also lets you receive and read all your attachements, then the Smartner/SMS combo probably works the best. If you can do without the attachments, then I would go with 1.72.181 ROM with the Blackberry client. Cant't beat the push on that one.... There is also a Sybase product called Pylon Anywhere that has a bit more functionality in terms of allowing access to contacts, tasks, calendar etc. that might be worth a look.

Hope that's helpful

Very Informative

But I am on O2 uk, and using the Blackberry option cost 15GBP per month +5GBP per DAY if roaming.., whereas Smartner is free for now. Given the big cost differnce, which would you suggest?
[General Topics] cbrow51:
Hi Mickey

Ouch! , that's a hefty tarrif... I would definiately go with Smartner then and use the SMS notification method I mentioned in last post to wake the device up automatically when a new e-mail arrives in your POP3 mailbox. This will allow the Smartner pushed mail to download automatically. Not sure what you pay for SMS messages, but that should be a cheaper way to go. You can also simply just turn the XDA on to start the push too... If Smartner inc. can figure out a way to wake the device up when pushing mail, I think it would beat Blackberry hands down, because the Smartner client application so much better intergrated with the XDA than the Blackberry application is.

Hi.

I have a PDA2K and it seems to get emails via gprs while the screen (pda) has been turned off.

(There is a setting which can be set between 15 and 120 mins (I think) which will connect via gprs to Smartner if the gprs/pda is off)

Why does it connect to Smartner every 5 mins, is costing lots more then I expected it would. I thought it would use as much data as something like messenger would.

Regards,

Ian Watson
[General Topics] cbrow51:
Hi Ian

Not sure about the cost/data size issue. I am fortuante in that TMo US has a great "Allyou can eat" data plan for $19.99 per month, so I have never watched the data charges that much. I believe the function your are referring to in Smartner is built into it to somewhat overcome its inability to wake the device up. So when the device is off for a period of time, it polls the server to look for messages . I was using regular client version that I ran on a separate pc connected to the internet this effectivly has been replaced with the web client now being offerred. Its possible that the web client works in a slightly different way to the regular PC client in thsi regard. That said, I do not remember being able to get it to poll regularly. It may have been something to do with the XDA 2 ROM I am tempted to experiemnet with it again, but my current 1.72.181 ROM has the Blackberry software, but as a biproduct of that, does not have a permanent internet connection. I would have to go to 1.72.187 I think...

I am thinking of upgrading my device to the PDA2K, which currently does not have the blackberry software. If you are having success with Smartner, then I might be tempted, as I need the push e-mail more that pretty much anything else. Have you found the Polling to be reliable? What is the highest frequency you can set it at? 5 mins?

Regards

Chris
[General Topics] ian watson:
Hi Chris.

I have just tried a few things out on my PDA2K.

If I have my PDA turned off and the GPRS also off you can set Smartner to turn on PDA, connect the GPRS (a message shows telling you whats its doing), get email, turn off GPRS, turn off PDA.

You can set it to do the above from every 15 mins to 120 mins or never. You can set it how you like for the weekend or night time for example.

If you turn off the PDA, GPRS will still be connected and Smartner will collect your emails etc. I take it that polling is when it checks for emails on their server? If you look it its activity it seems to do this every 5 mins - this you cant change.

Regards,

Ian Watson
[General Topics] cbrow51:
Hi Ian

Many thanks for trying this. Sounds as though the PDA2K and Smartner are working a little better than my XDAII / Smartner combo. One question. If the device is off (screen off) and an e-mail arrives in one of your POP3 mailboxes, does it go straight to the PDA2K and wake it up, or does it wait on the server until the PDA2K polling occurs?

Regards

Chris
[General Topics] ian watson:
Hi.

Am I correct in saying that polling is when the PDA connects with Smartner to check for mail etc.?

Ok.... The device is off (screen off) I get a email to my POP3, around 5 mins later my PDA sounds and LED flashes red. I turn it on and my email is ready to read.

Im not 100% sure what you mean in your last post? But it goes from my POP3 to the Smartner server, then to my PDA.

If you PM me I can send you the instructions.

Regards,

Ian Watson
[General Topics] cbrow51:
Hi Ian

Many thanks! Yes, that sounds like polling is taking place. When the XDA is swiched on and a message arrives in your POP3 mailbox, I have found that its almost instantly relayed to the XDA. The fact that you are waiting about 5mins, suggests that the XDA is going out to check. This in effect wakes the device up and allows Smartner to send the mail to the XDA. Never the less, the fact that you can set it up like that and have it work reliably, and notify you of incoming messages with a selecteable notification, is a big improvement over my previous experienec with the Smartner on the XDA 2. Polling was never reliable and I would often only get messages if I turned the device on.

I don't have the right ROM on my device right now to try this, as the 1.72.181 ROM (incds Blackberry client) does not support an "always on" GPRS connection. I'll need to swich to the 1.72.187 ROM. I'll PM you after I have done that if that's ok.

Many Thanks

Chris

Question about the lack of menu button.

So before buying the phone I I check into it and found out it used the 3dots and not a menu button like other androids.

Also found the back button long press as menu hack.

I have that install but I am still having problems and got questions.

First what do you do when the app your on doesn't have the 3dots?

Xda app doesn't have it to make a new thread. Also found a few of my older apps don't have it either.

Next the problem.

80% of the time when I press and hold the back button it just goes back. Or it will go back and then open the 3dot menu.

Is there any way to fix this or map the menu to long press home?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowwhite007:
You can use Elemental X kernal and have the HTC logo as a menu button that's what I use and it works a treat. Are you on a custom OS as if you are you may have flashed something with the 3dot away mod explaining why you never see it?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
+1 for elemental X. It's great. What about if you download pie control from the play store and set a menu control that way? I used to use the back button method but find it doesn't work half of the time. HTC logo2menu from custom kernels work 100%
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_59:
If you prefer to avoid custom kernel, then use a Rom based on 4.2.2 as these allow long press home to be enabled for menu
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xile6:

I'll try the pie control for now. And look into the 4.2 Roma and kernel.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xile6:

Hi all,

I have bought a Htc One M7 handset recently and I have noticed time to time there are No Signals (Limited Service) on it. When I switch off/ switch on or if I turn on the Airplane mode and turn off again, the signals will restore. This is happening around 2 times per day and really annoying. Need to know whether this is a known issue for the model.. I still didn't change the SIM and check. Please help!!!!!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManMang0:
Fellow Sufferer

I have the same thing

To add some detail for diagnostics see below:

- I travel into London every day and sometimes when signal drops in the tunnels it will never pick back up again after leaving them whereas my old One X did not have this on the same journeys.

- It even dropped out mid call and came up with the sim card icon at the notification bar as if no card inserted (but no selectable notification) first time its happened to this extent.

- Do you have a 4G SIM/connection or are you on 3G like myself? I'm thinking perhaps its something to do with trying to pick up 4G instead and completely disregarding the 3G connection that is available.

- I have also noticed that ever since getting the handset its never had as good signal as my One X which was pretty much always full signal in my normal areas (home, work etc) This may just be the way the handset gauges the signal not the signal itself but something to note anyway.

How does one do that? Having the same problem, both wifi AND mobile network drop off. Wifi comes back on its own after a few seconds, the mobile data connection often comes back (obviously if not on wifi away from home), but the mobile network stays as no signal and doesn't come back, unless I reboot or cycle aeroplane mode. I know there's some problems with touching antenna, but this is happening a lot in the car, when the phone is powered and sitting in a cradle.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
To turn off 4G you go to Settings -> Mobile data -> Network mode and then select "3G / 2G"

don't know if it'll help though, but trying is worthwhile
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmcconalogue:
Thanks. The problems seems to have gone with that change. Perhaps it is some system thing kicking me off the network because I don't have 4G on my contract and my phone was trying to get it.

how to solve limited service or loosing service on htc one m7

Hello

it seems to be a hardware fault where the radio is not staying on higher band

it seems to be having issues on 2100 and all umts and hspda or lte networks

however switching back to 2 g can resolve this issue and phone ( hope so) will never lose signals or drop then again

i tried this and for me this works fine so far over 12 hours now no issue

give it a try and see this should work

setting>data>network>2g only

by this you wont have option to use fast internet though but at least you can phone can be used for voice calls messaging etc and also wifi too

I was on stock lolli pop and tried to flash cm12.1 but does not help sort the limited service issue

enjoy and leave your feedback

Edit:

some people cant find 2g in settins>mobile network>preferred network type> lte or 3g only, the solution is go to *#*#4636#*#* phone info>set preferred network type>gsm only( this will put your device into 2g mode)

hope this work

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Deleted member 5071266:
Does Sense 5 EX Build#5 has a memory script? If yes, which one? I have installed Twitter and Clean Master (that I downloaded them) and updated Facebook and Google Play (they were already in the ROM as system apps).

Another question.

Hspgill has added a PATCH 3 in his Sense 5 EX thread. Should I flash that with Sense 5 EX Build#5?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] tatiraju.rishabh:
Yes, it has an inbuilt memory script developed by derefas in the original Sense 4a rom that Sense 5 EX is based on. An additional memory script is not required and should not be installed since it just makes the rom stop working.

Patch 3 is for UI lag. I use the ROM without the patch and it works fine :) Flashing it will do no bad.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Kilroy.:
Sorry to have to tell you this, but you hard bricked your phone by flashing the completely wrong kernel: If you don't have a x10, never, EVER flash the x10-blrelock kernel, it will brick your phone (it is put in flashtoool as a legacy of the developer who owns an x10).

I'm afraid the only solution is to get your phone J-tagged at a local store or something...

EDIT: You also haven't unlocked your bootloader properly (status:unrootable), which is vital for flashing custom kernels...
