Hey there guys,

New to this great Comunity, still new to Windows Mobile.

I'm a tech geek alright, and I love having all the newest tech gadgets around. I've wanted to get a WM phone so many times throughout the last few years but they were always behind in lots of aspects compared to the Symbian ones. Then HTC released its TyTNII with its holy specs, great design and somewhat compact size. This was my phone! Yeah, right! Then I found out about this huge issue with the video performance and followed it for about three monts waiting for a solution either from HTC or XDA. And OK - HTC had some problems with Qualcomm support for its stolen from Broadcomm chipsets whatever. So they released Diamond (and announced Raphael) with a new chipset and "3D GPU" which "processor enhances the user interface". And then again it needs tweaks to make it - not better, but just usable. Then all the other bugs and flaws users say about in this forum.

Can't HTC build a quality device that just works out of the box?! Then leave it to us mostly to customize it and somehow improve its usability!? Man, everyday I read about newer and bigger bugs and flaws. May be most of them will be overcomed thanks to this comunity, but were is HTC with its support for its high-priced devices!?

And again I'm about to leave the idea of having WM phone.

:mad:

I've looked around for any other brands and models but found none more appealing. What do you think? What's the best WM device I can get in the next few months?

Any opinions are much appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] partyhardy:
To be honest, I've grown quite tired of Windows Mobile. I used to like it more, but it seems like I spent way too much time getting things to work. Also, the interface is very user UN-friendly, which makes doing simple tasks like calling someone too time consuming. Then there is the random freeze ups like the one I had today, which caused me to miss 5 calls and no warning lights or anything.

I like the cusomizabilty, but sometimes, I just want something that works right out of the box. Also, performance wise, all of the HTC/WM phones I've used are sluggish. (My mogul, friend's 6700, another friend's Kaiser/TyTnII). The redraw time when you flip out the keyboard is rediculous, specially if you have a few plugins.

Overall, I may give one more WM phone a try, if I am impressed by it at the store. But I doubt it. I just don't see Microsoft doing any innovations since they hold the crown as far as market share goes in the U.S. Maybe when an Android phones comes out...

Give blackberry a chance :) They've never failed me. Infact, I had my HTC Touch Dual for about a month before switching back. lol.
[General Questions and Answers] bommel0815:
calling someone is too complicated?

1.) hit the green button

2.) start tapping away or choose speed dial

3.) hit the green button

its similar to what other phones want from you in order to know who you want to call. If thats too complicated, you may also try voice commander? :)

that beeing said, I am very happy with my new i-mate 9502, but I also considered the samsung i780 and it looks like people who bought it are very happy with it, especially with the form factor and performance.

edit: key for me with winMo devices are things like hardware keys, to reach functions quickly, using a good launcher/today setup like pocketplus +

phoneweaver + todayagenda, etc. and a nice hardware keyboard.
[General Questions and Answers] Hokum:
Calling is simple, one button... de ding "call simon mobile" etc.

The no error message and not getting calls though is an issue i dislike.

I want a "nippy" device we need better hardware to run the software and better software optimisation for the hardware.

i just bought htc touch enhanced couple of days ago, and for the price it's great. Now with the Diamond coming out, htc touch is getting cheaper, but it's great to use nontheless.

Installed some stuff on it, not enough to make it sluggish but enough to make it a pure pleasure to use and i would definitely recommend it.

[General Questions and Answers] demonizator:
But why cusomizabilty has to be at the expense of stability? Is it imposible to have a device that is performing great out of the box and has the potential to get improved usability by applications and custom tweaks? That would be the device for me. Don't get me wrong. I'm no mass user, I would consider myself as a techie business user and as such I need a device that I can rely on from the moment I buy it. I don't have the comfort to spend a small fortune and experiment weeks, even months with tweaking it just to make it work properly. I've always thought of WM as of business devices but I guess I was wrong.

Note that the people that use this site are not those that are going to say "my device is great" and then go away... The kind of people here are either those not satisfied, or those that want a little bit more from the hard ware and are not representative of all the device users.

The Diamond is an immensely powerfully device, and even with the UI stacked on top, it ticks away far more reliably than the iPhone (which for me just locked up a lot). If you don't like the UI, disable it and you'll have one of the most powerful WM devices there is...

WM devices don't need tweaking, but this site is devoted to tweaking them. I ran my Prophet perfectly happily on the stock WM5 ROM for over a year, before discovering this site to get it unlocked when the contract ended. I didn't need to tweak it or flash countless ROMs, but I wanted to...
[General Questions and Answers] demonizator:
I really hope you're right. I'm gonna wait a little bit more and get the Touch Pro version. It's just all these flaws I read about that stopped me from buying WM the past few years. But I guess I have to give up something to gain something more.

WM6 for the money?

I bought a Dash on ebay and upgraded it to WM6 for $150.00.

I have a Mogul now, but the Dash was way easier to use.
[General Questions and Answers] Mochan:
In terms of bang-for-the-buck I think the Samsung i780 takes the cake. It is the most specced out phone in that price category. And if you buy one today it will have the newer firmware so it shouldn't have any real issues.

Oh and calling people on a WiMo phone is far easier than any other phone. Voice Command baby. It's the reason I can't leave the WiMo platform even if there are other great choices like the iPhone, Blackberry or even the all-but-dead Palm Treos. And if you DON'T like using Voice Command come on it's very easy to call someone as mentioned. In fact, back when Nokia had crap for menus and directional pads to get to your contacts WiMo phones had touchscreens that made it really easy in comparison. Today the touchscreen is still easier to use than the various jog dials, joysticks or what not that conventional phones have.
[General Questions and Answers] Ineedtoys:
+1 for the i780. It is by far the quickest and most responsive PPC I have ever used, and the form factor is perfect. No rotating screens to wait for, all the keyboard shortcuts you could want, terrific build quality, good battery life, bargain price, and none of the HTC Flo-bloat that turns their machines from reasonable PPCs into lagging, crash-happy iPhone wannabes.

The best windows mobile device for it's money is undoubtely the HTC Shift, for a mere 1000 dollars you'll get a run-down WindowsMobile OS, but also Vista. So you'll have a hybrid for the price of just a good laptop.

Isn't is great ?
[General Questions and Answers] EFN:
Performance issue of WM are device specific. After being a HTC hardcore for many years, and after quite a number of frustating moments I decided to switch.....almost bought myself the new Nokia E71 and abandon WM altotgether BUT - I decided to give it one more try with WM and now it's with a Samsung. And that's how I ended with the i780.

With the i780 (DXHE1 Rom), it's like a rediscovery for me. After getting used to HTC sluggishness and sporadic freeze-ups, I was genuinely astounded by how nimble and steadfast this i780 is. I can recall until now I have not encountered any freeze-ups no matter how I abuse the programs running back to back. Yes some buggy program may screw up but the nice thing is it won't freeze the whole phone unlike HTC devices where a single program fails it will bring down the whole phone.

And for the price, the i780 is a steal. It has all the arsenal one could expect from HTC flagship models yet it cost way cheaper - that is a real deal to me.

If you are done with HTC, don't blame it on WM. Try different make, like i-Mate Arima build or Samsung or even Asus.

*** UPDATED TO MAKE A LITTLE MORE CLEARER *** Please do not ask for screenshots - time does not allow me to do it)

Thanks to Olipro, and some digging on my part (I just needed to dig around to figure out how)

Step 1 - Anyway First of all, load the Hard SPL to your phone from : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=398742

Now, as stated in the first post at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=328147, we need to re-build the nbh file with a 401 tag rather than a 400 tag.

Step 2 - So, what I did was to download RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite extract into its own folder (Mary seems to work as well)

Step 3 - then download the custom ruu updated from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=295113 - also get the rombaker for trinity as found further down in the post.

Step 4 - unzip the custom_ruu stuff, put in the downloaded trinity rombaker to replace extracted rombaker,

Step 4a - Copy ruu_signed.nbh file that is found in folder created in Step 2 to the rombaker/workshop folder created in step 4

Step 5 - then use nbhextract (created in step 4) to extract the ruu_signed.nbh file that is now in the workshop folder

Step 6 - watch the output. (for file names)

Step 7 - Run the rombaker program and load the extracted files into their places (as referred to in step 6), then click generate NBH

It will ask you to save a file. call it new_nbh (or whatever you want) -

Step 8 - open this file (created in step 7) in notepad, and change the number 400 (about 5 lines down) to 401 save and exit

Step 9 - then open a dos/cmd/command.com window (whatever you want to call it), cd to the rombaker/workshop folder and then run the following:

nbhgen new_nbh.txt

NOTE: new_nbh.txt should be the same as the filename created in step 7

copy the generated RUU_signed.nbh file back to the RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite folder.

Your p3600i rom is now ready for flashing

----------------------------------------------

because the rom package doesnt know about differences in the p3600i bootloader, it cant jump to the correct bootloader and as such you will not be able to flash until you have got the new SPL from olipro installed, and running on the device - to do this, make sure step 1 has completed, then:

restart the phone by holding the power and camera buttons down and pushing the reset button simultaneously.

it should reboot into the 3 color band boot loader mode.

run the romupdate utility found in step 2

go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=398742 and click on the "donate" button for olipro, and donate.

make phone calls.

Thanks

THEORETICALLY This should work with any trinity rom BUT

This method should work with any trinity rom. although it does not seem to work with Trinity WM6.1.Black Edition.OS Version CE 5.2.19701 Build 19701.1.0.2 by Akeo, nor the Elegance 6.1 rom - upon reboot I just get grey/white banding across the screen and it wont start.

One thing to note is that 1st boot seems to take ages, but after that it works great.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Andyc46:
Well done. Pity it doesn't work with Black Edition by Akeo. That is a nice ROM and I would love to use it.

I really don't want an Ultra-lite ROM....I want something with all the trimmings.

Now we need a few ROM Cookers to come up with some good stuff for the P3600i.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Andych:
I cannot for the life of me get the Hard SPL to complete using Vista.

I have gone through the process of putting the XP drivers on as per the Trinity Guide...not real sure why the phone needs to be in Bootloader mode for this, but I followed the instructions to a tee.

Where am I going wrong....I end up with error 260.

I will search again and see what turns up in the meantime.

Edit: I think I will try it from my Laptop tomorrow, it runs XP so I will see how that goes.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Olipro:
no good on Vista eh? not surprised... we can try using the Polaris RUU, for the flash, I bet you anything that'll do the trick.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Andych:
Yet one of the others says he did it OK on Vista....so buggered if I know....maybe I was holding my head the wrong way.

I will try it on XP tomorrow....hopefully once the Hard SPL is on there Vista will not be an issue any more.

OK...this may be a really dumb question (so I expect offensive answers) but why does the standard HTC WM6 ROM work for both D810 (128 meg ) and P3600i (265 meg )......yet the cooked ROM's which work on the D810 won't work on the HardSPL P3600i????

Just trying to get me head around it logically.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] ssamth2003:
thks Olipro, you're the man.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] ajajaj:
the rom is the same, it is just that it gets put in a different place for the p3600i (401, instead of 400)

this is why the ruu_signed.nbh file needs to be rebuilt.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] ajajaj:
there is a guide to installing vista drivers that works - main thing is to get the phone into bootloader mode, delete the drivers and install the other ones.

thats all I did.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Andyc46:
Tried that...didn't work for me but I will try from XP today sometime.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Andyc46:
Then theoretically it should work on all cooked ROM's so long as the ruu_signed.nbh file is re-built.

I know....theoretically doesn't always relate to does...

OK well at least I have had my curiosity sated....for now.

[P3600 Software Upgrading] Kinne:
So, I

- startet the flash progress

- Trinity enters the bootloader, saying:

TRIM100

IPL-0.50

TRIM100

SPL-3.10.Olipro

- Flash program stays at 0% and after some seconds has a "260 connection error"

- ActiveSync disables the connection

-----

Update

-----

After "immediately" restarting the flash program, it let me start the flash program,

- it immediately showed 100% on the PC

- it immediately showed 100% on the HTC

- HTC reboots

- On PC it says, that flash program was succesful

- After wanting to flash a full WM61 rom, it shows the old firmware
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Argyle0297:
SUCCESS ......

here it is, hope this can help....

- When U first flash the Hard-SPL-p3600i-V1.1, it stuck just as Kinnie described. Then I unplug the usb, the pc side starting the recovery process guide. Follow this through then at the end click skip.

- After that ( still in bootloader mode with SPL-3.10.Olipro showing) run the flash prog for Hard-SPL-p3600i-V1.1 again. I got successfull message then the device reboots.

- After the device boot up, unplug and re-plug the USB, this will cause the active sync to run. After it finished (I click stop, cause it takes forever), I run RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship repacked with romBaker as per Page1 described (changing 400 to 401).

- Went into bootloader mode after I clicked ok on JumpSPL.exe, Well.... What do U know..... the bootloader still has SPL-3.10.Olipro.... Then, writing the rom until 100%

- Thanks to Olipro for the SPL, ajajaj for the guide and all of you that has share your experience.

Now my originally Chinese P3600i is transformed to WWE P3600i.... Can't wait to try other thing with this device.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Andych:
Did you do this on XP or Vista? I am at work now and just tried it on a brand new install of XPSP2 and I got error message 302. I tried every way to geet it to work and it just wouldn't do it. Olipro sent me some more info to try and get around the Vista issue so I will try that tonight.

firstly, you guys rock!

thanks so much for the help and your crazy mad skills.

secondly, i have not yet got any WM6.1 ROM running on my P3600i, but i sorta know why. i followed ajajaj's instructions from post 1 and created the new RUU_signed.nbh file with the 400 changed to 401, then i decided to double check that it had compiled correctly by extracting it once again in the ROMBaker. turns out the 400 remains as 400 and not 401, which is probably why i get stripes on my screen after the update...is that a correct assumption? from this i gather that i must really suck at following these instructions and will have to wait for (the legendary) Olipro to make the new version of NBHUtil that can do it for me. i'll be refreshing this page every 5mins...yup, i'm that keen!!
