Hello Guys,

This question may be a little noob for everyone here but I really need to understand couple(or 3) of things here:

1. What basically is a SIM lock? is it software lock or some kind of hardware(registers) lock ?

2. If I get a new (brand new) phone from Rogers canada .. say HTC S621 and I flash it with one of the custom ROMs like NRG's or Kavanas... will it also remove my SIM lock...?

Actually the reason I am asking these questions is ....

I already have a HTC S621 which I SIM unlocked from some site for 30 some dollars about a year back. I was with Rogers rom at that time.

Now I upgraded to NRG remade rom .. so is my phone still SIM unlocked.... ?

if somebody could answer these questions.. I would really appreciate...
[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racer:
If you paid $30 for it, it is most likely a Sim unlock, which allows you to use others sim cards. CID unlock is a free app that is floating around here somewhere, and it is just a software unlock that allows you to put others Roms on your phone. For example, mine is a tmobile dash that is still sim locked to tmobile, but I have ahd Rogers, HTC, and multiple kitchen roms on it without any problems. Sim unlock would allow me to use an AT&T or other type of carriers sim card in it as well, but I dont need that.

Your phone will still be Sim unlocked if it has been unlocked in the past.

Does this answer your questions?
[HTC Excalibur] chargedRam:
My Mistake

Hey god speed...

pardon my mistake .. i just made a fool out of myself.... :( :confused:

Please replace CID with sim lock... I wrote the question keeping in mind Sim lock but I dont know y on the earth I kept on writing CID...

Sorry for wrong question... I will edit that...

My basic question is

1. Does flashing a ROM on a SIM Locked phone breaks the SIM LOCK? and

2. If My phone is with Rogers , I got it Sim Unlocked by paying 30 bucks.. and then reflashed to NRG Rom.. is it still locked or unlocked..

Thanks again....
[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racer:
flashing a new rom does not break the sim lock (or unlock in your case). Your good to go:p
[HTC Excalibur] chargedRam:
Thanks go speed.....

I appreciate

I have a 7" Navigation screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio in my car and was wondering if there was anyway to output to 800x480? The Touch Pro outputs to 640x480 and all the people look all fat and stubby when i use fit to screen feature.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Tekka:
I was just looking at the redfly and it's drivers were able to output the touch pro's resolution at 800x480 so i was wondering has anyone been able to do this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] P0ll0L0c0:
I don't understand what you want to try to do. It seems like you're complaining about aspect ratio when using the full screen of the device. But the only way to keep aspect ratio and fill the screen - would be to chop part of the image from the top and bottom. The HTC TP is natively a 4:3 device, so it's always going to output 640x480.

To go from 640x480 to 800x480 you're either going to have to stretch, or crop and stretch. I'd hate to crop that much, though.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] FT5117:
Yes, but like Pollo Loco said, the 800x480's "zoom" will chop off the top and bottom. I know someone who would insist on using the "fit to screen" feature to fill up his "then new" LCD flatscreen tv. It was annoying and made it pointless to bother watching a skewered movie. Widescreen is now the industry standard, so it should no longer be an issue with current movies, video podcasts, etc.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Smaniac:
RedFly doesn't use TV output, it uses a standard USB cable and works like a VNC I assume.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Tekka:
i think your right i just looked at redfly video and what they did was extend the desktop to 800x480 so what that means is 160 pixels is not viewable on the touch pro. this would be extremely useful if someone manages to get the USB host working so we can plug in an xenarc external monitor with a usb touch panel like the advantage does

take a look at this screenshot i think you;ll understand what redfly does

http://www.treocentral.com/images/admin_uploaded/1205992710.gif

Anyways ive found a work around for now. i just change the aspect ratio in coreplayer to 4:3 for widescreen movies so that everyone looks tall and skinny and the monitor will naturally stretch that image to fullscreen and make everything look the correct aspect ratio

Hi guys. I have recently been playing with my registry settings, making some changes in an attempt to keep my WIFI conncetion alive and or Keeping device from entering standbye. I have made note of some of my default settings; however, being tired and at my wits end, I forgot to take not of the default settings for two registry entries and made and saved the changes. Now My device keeps waking up on it's own to a blank screen. I am not sure which one of these it is but I know these are the only ones I didn't note the default values for so if anyone has these default values for me I would really appreciate it.

Needed Default values for

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENT_CONTROL_SET\CONTROL\POWER\STATE\UNATTENDED

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENT_CONTROL_SET\CONTROL\POWER\STATE\RESUMING

I Know I can hard reset the device, but this would be a big pain for me, so if anyone could take a quick look into their device registry and provide me with these default values, I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] Ather:
have you tried Advanced Config 3.3?
[General Questions and Answers] hotrod101:
Hi Ather90 - I have tried a previous version of the Advanced configeration tool and it did not work to keep my WIFI alive on my device - Reg settings or locations were not the same for my device, this is why I was playing with the registry myself. Could not find anything for the Elfin specific to keep the WIFI alive in all of my searching, so I was playing with it myself based on what I read about on other devices.

I will try Advance Config 3.3 however, still would like the factory default reg values I requested above unless you think that the Advance Config will set these values to the optimum value and solve my problem - I have been experiencing some significant increase in battery drainage as well and would like this solved. I understand that keeping wifi alive in standbye will increase battery consumption while wifi is alive, and that I would have to turn wifi off manually when I am done to conserve battery, this is not an issue for me as I do it anyway already all the time. Just want WIFI to stay alive when I want it to.

For now I want to reverse the changes I made to my registry back to default values. Then I can take not of the default values and play with Advance confic 3.3

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to look up these values for me.
[General Questions and Answers] !Aman!:
i suggest u to perform a hard reset, this will make sure every setting/registry becomes default.
[General Questions and Answers] hotrod101:
I got it now so that the display does not turn on on it's own now - Not sure how battery issue will be now - I am assuming it was related to the display lighting up on it's own - so all should be good. I would still appreciate it if someone could look into the two registry settings I requested above, so that I can compare them. I only want to perform a hard reset as a last resort right now and I don't think that it is necessary.
[General Questions and Answers] hotrod101:
OK, I don't think that battery consumption is a problem now - Left my device on standby overnight (was fully charged) and this morning, battery was at 99% still. Usage drainage appears normal so far as well.

Please, I would still like to know what the default registry values I requested above are - just to see if I have them the same now, to see what I have done.
[General Questions and Answers] hotrod101:
Can anyone please look into these values for me

Thanks

My Registry Entries

Hi

My Registry entries under these two keys are attached in the .zip file. Device details as per my signature. I disabled turning off Wifi in sleep mode using Advanced Config.

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[General Questions and Answers] hotrod101:
Thank you so much andrew-in-woking - This information was very useful - I had been playing with the values of these keys until I found a combination that seemed best and as it happens, the values are the same as yours - Thanks - I just wanted confirmation and reassurance that I had set the values back to default setting which I must have gotten lucky and managed to do. But I never would have known without something to compare it to.

Thanks again

I want to transfer contacts and other pim data from my old Imate Jam to htc touch viva. How?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] devilpera64:
solution

Use PIM backup on your first device..backup all the files that you want (ex. contact) and save them in a directory that you want...after connect your PDA on the PC and transfer this file (that you can find in the folder choose in the program). finally you must install on the new device (the OPAL) this fantastic app, copy the backup's file in a folder that you want in the new PDA and with the same application, RESTORE.!

if you have a problem contact me here:)

I was wondering if anyone has ever bought or tried this headset before.

I was thinking about getting it to use with my phone, instead of having to carry around both some headphones and that adapter that came with my Fuze. It also works with answering the phone, so that's great as well.

http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-stereo-headset/73A74A1450.htm
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] jojiboy:
I don't have that one but I can see it would simpler than having to lug the adapter around. I did buy this to use with my Fuze:

http://www.boxwave.com/products/dualadapter/retractable-dual-handsfree-stereo-adapter-at_t-fuze_3350.htm

It's a bit more expensive than the one you're looking at but I figure this way I can choose whatever set of headphones w/ 3.5mm jack I want to use. Beats having to carry the adapter that came with the Fuze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] JoeWilcox:
I've had that headset. It's not too bad.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] mzshortay:
You do know that they're are smaller adapters around, right?

It's similar to that but not as long. Using that one along with some headphones and you've got a jump rope length cord to lug around lol.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] jojiboy:
Yes, I do know there are shorter adapters but most of the ones I've seen don't have a mic built in. The shorter ones are fine if you're just listening to music or whatever but the one I bought will mute the music when a call comes in and will unmute the music when I'm done. I keep mine short by not uncoiling it completely. Like you said, it would be a jump rope, if I did. ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] mzshortay:
Oh okay. Oops. I guess I missed the mic part.

That's great though.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] jojiboy:
No problem. I have the OEM HTC headset too but I went the route I did with the adapter because I wanted to be able to use my favorite Sennheiser headphones on my long train ride home each evening. I can tune out all the noise on the train and not miss calls too.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] copsgottanks:
Alright, new to the forums so please bare with me! Here goes:

A little while ago I started getting the "Sim Card Is Missing" error on my Kaiser. I've done many things to remedy the problem and still to no avail, the problem remains. What I'm looking for is any advice or any other ideas that someone might be able to give me on this problem. Here's a list of what I've already done.

-Replaced SIM with a brand new SIM from ATT Dealer.

-Dissassembled phone and cleaned SIM contacts as well as SIM socket connector.

-Soft reset, and soft reset, and soft reset......you get the idea.

-Wedged a piece of paper, then cardboard on top of SIM to make more pressure

-Disabled 3G network, run solo on EDGE/GPRS, as well as used outdated SIM to see if that would solve the problem.

There have been a few other "everything else's" that I've probably tried, but nothing worth mentioning.

All of these different things I've done have all solved the problem for a small amount of time (1 minute-a full day), but the problem keeps coming back. Typically after taking the SIM out and restarting my phone, the phone does work for about 15 minutes, and then ceases to live.

If anyone, anyone at all has any insight or suggestiong, please post back in this thread, your help is much appreiciated. I've already taken the phone to a repair shop and got ripped off $160, so I'm at my last rope here. Thanks all!

Dig Life!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hacka1010:
the sim card is missing probably the best solution

i have had this problem before on a wizard and a kaiser too what i found out on both phones one bought off ebay and the other i bought 2nd user from the local paper is that one of the phones was reported stolen (not saying that yours is) and that is what comes up when the imei has been switched off the network and the wizard i found out had an imei which had been changed. the solution i found is when i used the wizard service tool to change the imei on the phone with one on an old phone what i had to see iuf that would work, the sim card missing error disappeared and that fixed the problem so i do reckon that has something to do with your problem.

p.s. changed the imei number back to what it was as its sort of illegal to change imei`s lol

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kyphur:
The Kaiser (at&t tilt version at least) is notorious for having a loose fitting Sim socket. If your SIM has any age to it the contacts are worn.

Put a piece of tape (or two on the back to thicken it) then reinsert it. If this fixes your problem get a new SIM from your carrier.
[Off-topic] TheChampJT:
Well, at first I got the Omnia. Now don't get me wrong, that was a kick ass device, but I can't stand the constant problems with WinMo! So I swapped it out for the Storm today, and this phone is awesome :D! Forget all the bad reviews you may have seen, they were probably done by people who have never used a PDA/Smartphone before. In fact, the rep at the store said majority of the returns came from unexperienced users not liking the screen.

In my opinion, after using the Touch for almost a year, this touch screen rocks. It's very sensitive, actually has 6 sensitivity settings, and the clicking is much better than I thought. I like being able to browse around before actually selecting something.

As for the avail apps, created by RIM or the site:

YouTube

Facebook

MySpace

Live Messenger (I know this avail for WM, but you get the idea)

Yahoo Messenger

AIM Messenger

Flckr

Twitter

Fox News (flashes red on breaking news)

ComedyTV

ESPN, and other big sites I think just have an icon you can download for a shortcut.

I had to share with you all out of excitement. I still have my touch, so I'll still keep checking the great xda, but I'm off to play with my new Storm! Oh yeah, also includes software to sync your iTunes library. Which I find hilarious, syncing my Blackberry with iTunes on Vista, WTF!?

The OS is completely different so no cooking here. But installing leaked updated OS' is much much easier. Some make "hybrids" which is just a mix of files from different OS versions.

I owned one for about 27 days. It was one of the sexiest looking phones I have ever come across. The SurePress screen was awesome as well. But the amount of little annoyances were too much for me to handle. I even upgraded to the latest leaked OSs, but then the bottom-right section of the screen started to stick! I actually went through 3 Storms and after the third I had enough. I cancelled Verizon and signed with AT&T and got a nice little phone called the Fuze. ;) Would I go back? Yes! I'm sure the newer Storms are not as defective as the first batch that was released. As for the OS, new OSs are leaked at a steady pace so I'm pretty sure that the software has become stable.
