I bought that and had to return it. I have Tmobile. Maybe my phone was a dud but it was factory new. The seller is good but my particular phone may have been messed up. I was only getting between 1.5-2mbps on LTE. I reset the APN settings and got up to about 15 but nothing even close to the 30-40 I was getting on the US version. Every cally I had would drop. I couldnt get through a single call. The Camara would stutter big time with video. It was very very bad. See here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lidWcMX_fGI . Another bad problem I had was sometimes the phone would jsut go to static in the microphone. It was just random and it would go back to normal if I reboot but just a few hours later it was just static again. No calls, google assistant or voice typing would work. Not even voice recorder. I really wanted to have root but it wasnt worth it with the problems I was seeing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cpufrost:
Ouch!

I'm on TMO here as well.

Planned on using two TMO lines via dual SIM.

I have the femtocell below ground and get about 96/30 (down up) via that consistently.

But the other issues certainly would be a deal breaker as my S9+ unlocked is perfect minus TWRP. ;)

Quite tempted but want the Snapdragon version because of the GPU (yes I use emulators) and it's 64gb only
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mattwaugh7:
A software update supposedly fixed the speed issue where the phone wasn't connecting to T-Mobile LTE bands (I don't have this issue on T-Mobile). I bought two of these because my wife needs dual SIM for her business lines. The only issue I've had so far is call quality and an update was just released this morning to address that (hopefully). Keep in mind, it'll probably take two weeks to get your phone from this seller. Very slow to ship. You will also get a foreign charging adapter and they will send you a generic adapter to make it work in North America. We just bought wireless chargers because these adapters feel like fire hazards.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Logan0829:
Just got the phone yesterday. I have at&t and haven't had many issues other than major battery drain. But I assumed it was just because my school is an awful service area. Phone's fine anywhere else in my area.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cpufrost:
Anyone get the 256GB version?

I don't get the deal with the charger. I never even take them out of the box. Ditto for the headphones and charging cord.

That seller has some negs including fake devices, kind of scary.

I usually pay with PP LOC so no worries there.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RebeccaSugar:
My guess is that he traded it in and got a good 200$ discount.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cpufrost:
Well I pulled the trigger on the 256GB version. It should be here Tuesday.

It will be nice to have something I have control over!
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
Big thanks to Tito for putting this together in a coherent manner, and for all those who have benefited from this info, there is plenty more to come.

Once the Shift Project receive enough donations to purchase a Shift to work on, we are looking at getting access to the SD card, GPS, Custom ROMs and more.

If we have helped you already, a few dollars donation from you would go a long way.

See this thread to donate, and for a running total so far.

[Shift General] Vs1979:
Hey Tito great work. One small comment, another solution to the accessing device through Vista is to use the USBTool (detailed in the main Full WM6 or 6.1 on Shift thread). I only say this as I and some others have commented how unstable the Internet Sharing solution can be. So far with USBTool I have had no issues. Best use (cost wise from data package) is to use Internet Sharing first time to copy USBTool over then use that. Only comment to an otherwise top notch walkthrough. Thanks for taking the time to structure it correctly.
[Shift General] michael85:
Great job! :D My compliments about this easy newbie tutorial.
[Shift General] tito.golder@hotmail.co.uk:
Thanks Pantaloonie - I've changed the original post and the instructions.
[Shift General] tito.golder@hotmail.co.uk:
I tried USBTool but I couldn't get it to do anything - I'll try it again and update the post when I've worked it out.

Hi Tito,

Thanks a lot for this post. Pls try to help me.I have aproblem with Win Explorer. I am not able to find Pocket_PC directory. Pls help me how can I find it. I did not undderstand abou F5 pressing. It is nott working me.

Thax. NA
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
To get usbtool.exe to work -

Download the attached file, unzip it, and get it into the windows folder on the WinMo side. This may involve removing the .exe extension so you can email it to yourself, then putting the .exe back when you save it into windows.

Then, on WinMo. browse to the windows folder and run usbtool.exe.

You get a white screen with the message "Please plug in cable first".

Click on menu and select 'usb cable in'.

Then go back to Vista and wait for up to one minute.

You should hear the connecting noise, and Windows Mobile Device Centre will connect. You can then sync Vista with WinMo. You should also be able to find WinMo under My Computer, as a mobile device.

Disconnect by going back to WinMo usbtool screen, and select 'usb cable out'.
[Shift General] jarbi:
Cannot click "Connect" ??

Hi,

I am trying to follow the instruction:

"- Click "Connect". The screen will say "Check USB cable.". Switch over to Vista and make sure that you have a network connection."

BUT - the Connect button is greyed out, because I have no network connection on the WM side.

How do I create one ? Do I need to have a UMTS sim card to do this ? I don't get it... :-((.

Please give me a hint !
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
I'd suggest you forget the internet sharing method, and use the usbtool.exe method intead, it's pretty much foolproof.
[Shift General] jarbi:
Pantaloonie,

Thanks for your reply. So, when I understand it correctly there is no way to connect to WM when I don't have a data subscription, at least to mail usbtool to WM.

Am I right ?
[Shift General] sonietje:
Hi Tito,

First I want to thank you and everybody who worked on this tutorial and made our HTC Shift much more usefull.

I followed your instructions step by step except for the connection to Vista where I used the USBtools instead. Everything worked fine and the results are impressive. The only thing that didn't work out for me was the import of the "today.reg" file with ceregedit. I keep getting an 'access denied' error and the import aborts. Do you have any idea how I can get that "today.reg" file into the registry of WM6? If I can get this to work than I think the HTC Shift is the perfect umpc for me.

I discovered also a nice feature: when WM6 is connected to Vista using the USBtools and Vista is connected to the internet using the wireless connection then you can use that connection also in WM6. You can receive your e-mail and surf on the internet in WM6 whilst the phone connection is off.

Thanks again and keep up the great work.
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
Yes, you will need a data enabled sim to get the initial files onto the Winmo side, no way around that.
[Shift General] sacramoso:
pls let me know how did you do this:

Switch back to Vista and open Windows Explorer. From the "Computer" level, keep pressing F5 until you see Pocket_PC.

I can not find Pocket_PC.

Can somebody help me?

thx.
[Shift General] sonietje:
'Pocket_PC' is the name of the WM6 device when connected to Vista. I made a partnership and named my device SnapVue. So everywhere Tito refers to 'Pocket_PC' you should replace this with the name of your device. Hope this helps.
[Shift General] sacramoso:
pls write me ste by step to make a partnershipt. Thx.

[Shift General] AndyGarton:
I have the same problem.
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
Ok, I've looked into this and it seems that ceregedit cannot import the today.reg file.

I managed to import it correctly using SKTools, install it on the WinMo side and use the built in registry editor to import the file.
[Shift General] AndyGarton:
Thanks, I've installed SKTools now but I cannot find a built in registry editor anywhere?

EDIT: Argh, never mind I found it. It's a separate utility rather than something within SKTools itself. Anyway, the reg file import worked great now, so thanks!

[Shift General] landshark:
Hi Tito -

Awesome write-up! I don't yet have a Shift, but this success is getting me closer every day. As soon as the HD and SD card are accessible from the WM side, i'm in.

Could you clarify one thing? You describe installing RealVGA onto the Shift, but what does it do? Does it allow you to use WM6 to drive the entire Shift screen (800 x 480), not just a portion of it the way Snapvue does? Please say yes <grin>

Thanks!!
[Shift General] tito.golder@hotmail.co.uk:
RealVGA allows you to use the same screen real estate (not 800x480, more like 600x480 - this is what others are referring to as the black bars on the side of the screen) at differerent DPI (dots per inch). As a default, the WM side runs at something like 192 DPI which means you can't get much on the screen. With the standard SnapVue lack of apps, this is probably okay although SnapVue looks like a kiddie computer.

Essentially you are seeing a standard landscape WM on a much bigger screen.

RealVGA allows you to set the screen to a different DPI setting, down to 96 DPI, which doesn't change the size of the screen (i.e what WM can physically access), but allows you to get more on it - MUCH MORE!

In apps like IE, Word and Excel, this actually allows you to see much more of your document and allows to to not have to fire up Vista and drain your battery.:D
[Shift General] eken:

I want to know that there is a Brand name called Qstarz GPS, which we can use the USB function to connect the GPS instead bluetooth. So can we use the USBTOOL to do so???

[Shift General] foxmeister:
You misunderstand what it is trying to say.

For faster downloads, and not having to wait in queue, you can pay RapidShare for "Premium" access. You can still download for free if you are prepared to wait a little longer.

HTC SHift

Any smart guys out there who have managed to solve the mystery of detecting the SD Card with Pocket PC? The internal memory on the HTC Shift is way too small. I would like to store all my data onto the storage card but file explorer cannot detect it. I am so curious why those engineers in HTC cannot get this working.

It's not that HTC cannot get it working, they never intended it to work that way. Time will tell if we can get the SD card working on the WinMo side, but I wouldn't hold your breath...

Can someone help me, I have read this thread and still I can not get the WM to show up in Vista using USBtool. I was able to use Internet sharing to make WM full version and copy everything over from vista including USBTool. I was finding Internet sharing very unreliable as most people are and wanted to use USBTool but it just doesn't seem to work for me. I pasted it into the windows folder and then ran it and pressed "menu/USB_cable_in" and went back to vista and you hear the sound that it is connected and then I noticed the internet then connects up in vista so half seems to be working. But WM doesn't show up in explorer and WMDC doesn't find it.

Please any help....

I now have it working, I had to go into communication Manager in Vista and disconnect the modem, then it worked.

This is what I typed in Run: msiexec /i "c\OfficeMobile_Licenced_0409_US.msi" /qb

The reason I want to try this way is I have installed the rapid share download of office 2007 twice and I can't get excel to work, word, onenote and powerpoint works fine but excel just will not start and thats the only program I want.....
[Shift General] seal:
I found another download for the WMOffice 6.1 and it was single programs which is great because I only want excel. I install it and it says all install fine, but it just will not run, you click on the excel icon and the little icon that spins pops up but then nothing

Anyone have any ideas?

HTC Shift - WM6 Modification

First let me say that even though I am an OUT OF CONTROL gadget freak, I am still very nervous about making any modifications. Had my HTC Shift for about a month now and I saw this thread or another about getting the full WM6 working since the day it arrived, but I was too afraid to try it. Yesterday I printed out the full instructions and this morning I made a pot of coffee, held my breath and .... GREAT BIG PAT ON THE BACK !!! I did it. My computer is up and running .. not the brick I was so worried about ending up with. ANOTHER PAT [ I know it was simple, but I can screw up the simplest projects .. ]

While I was being so careful to follow each step EXACTLY as shown, somewhere I saw an icon of a phone, named 'phone.' I don't remember where that was, because I was too afraid to look .. had a job to do ...

I have only completed the first part. I can now check my hotmail from snap vue, that is nice. But have to figure out how to install office etc .. Since doing the change, I can't seem to find my memory stick in 'computer' any longer. I don't know what that is about .. maybe a re-boot will help. maybe I accidently deleted a driver .. I tried to enable all of the Today Screen things, but it tells me Outlook is not installed ... Not an issue right now, but I wanted to take a minute to thank you geniuses for your work .. if I have a decent ebay weekend, I will send a donation to what is a GREAT cause !! YOU !!

First let me thank you for this clear en workable hack !!!

Things worked like a charm (however since i already liberated my Shift I used USBTool for the activesync connection)

RealVGA installed just fine and the screen looks great, however when you do a softreset of the WM enviroment you get that pesky pincode screen of the UMTS sim. Somehow that one is garbled, (not clear readable) did you already make an alternative to it, or fix ? or have any clue how i could get one for that security screen ??? in rest things look really great with the RealVGA resolution (DPI)
