Hi,

Ive decided to go with Wm over UIQ3/S60 due to more software.

Ive never had a ppc, but i expect to do some tinkering in terms of software and maybe custom rom's

Turns out that choosing the os was the easy part.

Im now faced with hardware dilemmas. Sorry if this is long, but i dont want to throw away 400$ or more on a phone that may not meet my expectations

1. The devices i looked at range from 200mhz omap to about 500mhz from various chip makers. How noticeable is the cpu speed if a phone has the same ram?

2. Next is Ram, how important is it to have 128 megs??

3. last is Rom, how useful is this- cant u just dump progs to the expandable memory card. performance wise how diff are progs installed on the rom verses the expandable memory?

phones i am considering are gsm: htc touch, touch cruise, SE x1, asus p527/p750, lg ks20, glofiish x650/x600, toshiba g810, gsmart i3xx?, samsung i780. How crippling is the htc driver problem?

a) i kinda want my phone to have some metal on the case- will it get less scratches?

b) how useful are phones with just direction and 2 buttons-send/end call? how useful is a 9# keypad in real buttons? seems redundant with soft key option

c) Am i better off with the cheaper options to get used to wm rather the go for a more luxury option?

I plan to keep the phone for about 3 years.

also how useful is the wifi versus data plan( i am in Ontario Canada)?

i plan to use it to call long distance in Canada via Voip, as i am around wifi hot spots often.

Thank you to all who give me some input.

I'll chime in where I can:

2. Very important. I find that 64 is not enough and 128 is too much. If they made 96MB RAM it would be perfect. But noone does that I know of. Better to have too much than too little. Battery life will suffer a little (less power used for less memory).

3. It's pretty important. I have 256 MB ROM and after everything I only have 128 free. If you only had 128 to begin with, who knows how much you'd be left with? Some apps need to be installed in ROM and not Storage Card. Get 256 if you can.

b) I never really use any buttons other than on/off and talk/end. I have a hardware button setup for the today screen, which helps me because I use it alot.

Hope that helps!
[General Topics] andrey08:
That clears it up thank you wildcard.:)

Ths could eliminate some phones from my list.

Could anyone clear up processor speed for me, does it really make a diff given enough ram?

Also out of the phones I mentioned, is there a clear choice that satisfy me- ignoring the phones not yet released( x1, g810)?

Is there an gsm htc touch clone from o2 or whoever that mimics the CDMA version ( 400mhz, 128 ram)?
[General Topics] N1c0_ds:
Don't take this as entirely factual but:

-64mb RAM is good, but I could have used 128mb. Battery life is affected, but I don't know how much.

-CPU probably has some effect, but 400mhz is standard and fine. 200mhz is probably much slower.

-There is no 400mhz/128MB RAM Touch clone for GSM :(

-Apps run faster from ROM. With only system utilities on my device and with the ROM made spring clean, I could not have more than 32 out of 49MB of free RAM left. 64 is really small, 128 is a minimum if you don't want to count on your card or keep extra fonts/voice commands/media.

-You MUST have Wi-Fi. What kind of sane Canadian would rely on data... probably a filthy rich one! Rogers is about to bring affordable unlimited data soon tho, but they say it will be for "a selected list of phones" which will probably exclude the very phones that need it IMO. iPhone whores...

-If you're not sure about Windows Mobile, try an emulator (found on microsoft website using google) for developers and surf around. It's far from what you can actually do with your device but it helps you see what it's all about.

You might want to try PalmOS if Wi-Fi and web browsing is not a necessity. I changed to WM and would never switch back, but some did the opposite and loved it.

Suggestion:

-TyTN / TyTN II have plenty of buttons+hardware keyboard, great for playing video game ROMs and games in general, but makes the device much thicker. You will love having lots of hardware buttons (one for flashlight, another for calendar then another for...)

-HTC Touch. It must be slower, but if you remove web browsing, heavy customization and the like, it will be a nice pocketable device. It's so damn cute compared to my fat TyTN (which I love). It only lacks more buttons and some power under the hood.
[General Topics] andrey08:
Thanks again.

Rogers has some sort of Rogers Vision Plan that includes data for 7$ still dont know much about it, its all new. I'd rather not pay anything extra LOL.

www.tryphone.com has a preview of palm os, but that doesnt interest me.

I couldnt figure out the windows mobile simulation from microsoft, but i did use a htc briefly in a store.

Anyways from whats been posted:

Avoid 200 mhz

Avoid anything less then 128 ram

Avoid anything less then 256 rom

This basically leaves HTC, Samsung, toshiba, Hp 610 and upcoming expensive X1.

---

From what i understand Rom flashing is basically reinstalling WM and bundling less progs with it? Am I correct?

Could any one point me into the direction of more info on ROM flashing?

How hard is it to make a custom Rom from scratch in case I go with a non HTC phone i.e. Samsung/ Eten / Asus .. i gather the other communities dont have it as rich as this one.
[General Topics] whocares2:
Avoid LG KS20 !

Hello andrey08,

There is one thing I can tell : do not buy a LG KS20 !. It is plagued by totally flawed display drivers : many GAPI apps do not work, and most DirectDraw ones do not.

Moreover, LG stripped from the ROM QTV support, so you will not have hardware accelerated video playing.

There is also a problem with the microphone while phoning, which stops functionning while switching between GSM and 3G bands.

Finally, their customer support is even worst than HTC's since they always pretend not being aware of these problems and do not plan to release a new ROM to correct anything when asked (since there is no problem according to them...).

I'm the poor owner of this piece of crap, and can not even resell it since it would be scam (you can't not even rely on it to phone !). :(

You can search the internet to confirm what I say : european forums are full of messages of angry customers. Our problem is that we can not have class actions in europe as in the US, and it is not an easy task to individually sue vodaphone or LG.

Lastly, concerning HTC recent products : if you read this forum, you will find that recent MSM7xxx HTC products are plagued by a very slow display. Compatibility and applications support seems OK though.
[General Topics] andrey08:
what about screen type

i know VGA is 4 times the display ability of QVGA, however whatsthe draw back of VGA

do all programs run on both VGA/Qvga screens??

whats the issue with video play back??
[General Topics] ZSX:
I would go for a VGA phone every time, but the advantages are relatively subtle.

Most QVGA programs will work on VGA, either because they are natively supported, or they use pixel-doubling.

You won't notice much of a difference for most of the built-in programs apart from smoother fonts and cleaner icons. This can be hacked using something like realVGA, but I find the icons get too small for practical benefit, although YMMV.

VGA, however, definitely comes into its own when you are web-browsing or using the remote desktop client, because the increased resolution means that you can get a near-desktop experience.

The disadvantage is that VGA displays theoretically sap more battery, although I haven't found this to be a problem in practice. Video playback is also more dependent on what hardware you have on the device and whether there is any acceleration.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Also make sure you read my (W)VGA-related articles & reviews - from MWC, I've posted a LOT on the brand new / forthcoming VGA devices (for example, the i-mate 9502, the x7510 etc)
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
I heartily recommend the MWC-based handset reviews I've posted in the last week into this very forum (i-mate, HP, Samsung etc)

I am currently using Xperia Home launcher, but it does not support double tap to sleep.

Is there any widget or app for quick screen off? I mean really screen off, not screen lock because I am also using Smart Lock feature while at home.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Mjuksel:
Greenify can do this. (rooted it will turn the screen off instantly, non-rooted it will have a delay to turn it off)

It is Gravity Screen from Play Store. You must play with the settings for a while until you find a setup that suits your needs.

Hey guys heard some people that replaced there LCD's couldn't get it to work with custom ROMS because of driver issues. Can someone kindly point me to a screen replacement that works with LineageOS, RR, NOS etc? I don't want to buy one and immediately regret it because it doesn't work with the rom I'm using.

AliExpress links preferable but others are welcome as well.

[P3600 ROM Development] thomastran:
My Trinity was stolen out of my car after my window was broken. I reported to ATT and the SIM card was in-activated right away. However, they acted "dumb" and refused to put a flag on the Trinity's EIM# as theft/stolen. I spoke to three different representatives without any satisfaction. I KNOW for a fact that if someone has an unpaid balance, they would flag BOTH your SIM and EIM from being used. SprintPCS will flag a stolen phone for you, but ATT will not from my experience.

One of the representative told me, "What difference does it make? You no longer have the phone..."

The second representative said, "I don't understand what you want me to do. You already got a replacement phone." (I'm actually using one of my old cell phone.)

The third representative said, "Your initial question is in reference to reseting your email. I have assisted you with that issue. I don't know anything about stolen phones."

Keep in mind that I explained my situation to all three representatives about my break-in and about using my EIM# to prevent someone from selling or using the phone for new service.

In a competitive cellular market, I guess ATT does not care if you use a stolen phone to get new service--it's one more account for them.

Please beware of ATT.

GPS Theft Tracking Software

It's for this very reason that I would HIGHLY recommend GPS tracking software for your phone. :eek:

Mobile Justice is a free Open Source version, and there are other PAY alternatives.

Mobile Justice monitors your phone for a SIM change, or waits for you to send your phone a specially coded SMS message. When it recieves it, it will do one of a few things.

1. Pop up a message you select on the screen of the missing phone "Hey Dirtbag, Gimme Back My Phone" or whatever you choose. (Aside from the fact that this might cause them to throw the phone away, I also would rather not let them know I'm coming. I want to knock on his door, look him in the face, and demand my phone back! As soon as he's finished changing his drawers. :D )

2. Send the GPS coordinates of the missing phone back to you.

3. Both 1 and 2

I just ran a test with this software and it's AMAZINGLY accurate! I typed the RAW coordinates into Google Maps, and it showed not only which house the phone was in, but which room in the house it was in, even when I moved it around. VERY COOL!!!

Pay Alternative:

Bak2u

This software monitors for a SIM card change and automatically sends the phone's NEW Phone Number and SIM Info to predetermined phone numbers that you choose. It does all this in the background so the thief knows nothing.

Mobile Justice can also be setup to be unnoticeable.

Of course, if they do a "Clear Storage" or Flash a new ROM, then neither of these programs will be there to work anymore.

PS: Sorry about your loss, and ATT's lack of help!
[P3600 ROM Development] liamhere:
this was a big problem in the uk, but phone crime has really dropped due to the phone and sim getting blocked as soon as reported here.

just installed Mobile Justice to my phone...thanks for the link
[P3600 ROM Development] R3PUBL1K:
such a shame your handset was stolen. i'll presume you had this hidden from view when left in your car?

just thought i'd mention blocking the IMEI only prevents that handset from being used in that country providing the service providers have an agreement amongst themselves and will not prevent the phone from being used abroad (unless under agreement too).

Its also (easily) possible but illeagl to change the IMEI.

(posted via phone)
[P3600 ROM Development] cs_e2:
have you ever thought of an hard reset?

then your installed programm is useless...

ok one has to know it but there's a chance...
[P3600 ROM Development] zooster:
Unless it's embedded directly in the rom ;)
[P3600 ROM Development] SuperSport:
Yes, that's why I mentioned it in my first post. ;) I would love to find a way to burn it into the rom too. Then they would have to flash a new rom to remove it.

Also, to test it, just send yourself an SMS with "your code +g" give it a few minutes to warm up the GPS and it will send you the phone's cords.
[P3600 ROM Development] djfuego:
Well hope the memory card wasn't too expensive.

Damn! they'll just send a kill handset command through the sim. Not a lot you can do about preventing someone from changing the IMEI on your phone. It's gone, be thankfull you will get a replacement. Some people dont get insurance and pay for it big time.

BUT I had no idea Mobile justice was around. This should be a compulory addition for all cooks out there. Your phone is going to be a little easier to find if this is installed.
[P3600 ROM Development] miffymiffy:
there are quite a few programs like this. Others are "Ultimate Theft Alert" and W.I.M.P - Where Is My Phone"

I find ultimate theft to be the best.

These items also dont show on installed programs list so the only way to get rid of them is to hard reset.

EDIT: Also, be mindful to put someone elses number to be messaged as your sim will be stolen... has been done before!

Hello!

I'm owner of the TC since about 1 month.

Actually I'm pretty happy with my device, even if there are some lacks.

But about a week ago I noticed dust under the display! It's in the bottom left corner! At the moment i only see it if the sun shines directly to the display. I'm afraid and also sure that it is just a matter of time, until there is more dust.

I carry the phone in my trouser pocket, and I guess this might be the reason. But I don't know.

In my opinion this is a huge lack of the quality of this device!

What do you think? Anybody with the same problem?

Thanks!
[Touch Cruise General] briggs81:
do you have a screen protector on? hopefully if you can find one that can fit the whole screen so mgiht help block the dust.

Or buy a simple case for it that might help also (think fabric or leather one).

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeynavy1:
First-time Google Phone owner here. It is both comforting and concerning to see that Google extended their standard warranty for the Google Pixel 2 and 2XL from 1- to 2 years. Can someone confirm that that only covers defects. Would the "bending" issue (i.e. the body cracks at antenna line) be covered by this if under normal use (e.g. from being in a pocket)? My concern is whether this warranty covers most of what would be expected with this phone or whether accident protection (insurance) is recommended. I've never cracked a screen or had a phone break out of warranty (there...now Murphy's Law will apply to me:) but currently have Verizon insurance activated. Just curious on thoughts on whether I'm throwing my money away and whether Nexus and Pixel 1's have turned out to be durable/reliable phones.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] pmm1211:
I am wondering the exact same thing with Verizon, the 7 dollar a month Asurion covers accidental with lost and theft but no post warranty like the 9 dollar amount but Google covers for 2 years so why pay and extra 50 over the 2 years.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SweetSofie:
I have the Pixel 2 and have dropped mine a number of times accidently. Forturnatly nothing bad has happened. Maybe its luck, maybe they're tough. :D Having said that, I'm paranoid, so I have insurance!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
It's fairly simple math. Take the amount you pay in phone insurance (per month) and multiply it by the length of time you plan on owning the device. Add in any deductibles for repair and compare that total to these two scenarios:

1. Is that total enough to purchase a decent replacement phone if yours breaks?

2. Is that total (minus the deductible) low enough for you to be at peace with paying that amount for essentially nothing in return IF your phone never breaks?

If the answer is yes to the first question or no to the second question, then don't buy the insurance.
