[Touch Pro, Fuze General] YL Groper:
Does anyone know of a way to set "notifications" as my left soft key on my home screen? I use advanced config and set my tab order and right soft key to what I want (comm manager). But I would like to have the left soft key set to pull up notifications. without using a stylus it can be a little annoying pulling up your reminders and notifications (missed calls, txts, emails, etc...) id like to have it set to my soft key.

Any help?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] d0ugie:
oh man.. all I can say is bump bump (I think that's the right xda lingo). I could really use the answer to this.

A side issue - I don't know why, maybe it's my rom, but something keeps turning off my reminders from popping up after reboots.
[HTC Excalibur] Bo0mcxh402:
If i were to change the t-mobile dash rom to the htc 1.33 stocked rom, is the phone able to be used by other carriers, like at&t?

Thanks for all
[G1 Android Development] namsir:
i'm confused....if you are registering different Carrier than T-Mobile....your phone should be unlocked to register, why go through all this? and if your phone is not unlocked...you still gotta buy the unlock code ....this is confused, but useless from my point of view...
[G1 Android Development] dj4u:
well it is not UNLOCK i think it is an ACTIVATION without t-mobile.

i live in Turkey and i cant by-pass the google sign up. But i made it with this way.
[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
Yeah, or you can just get the SIM unlock for free by calling T-Mobile. But thanks for trying to sell us junk
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Please change the

Doing this in no way UNLOCKS your phone.

You are in a way misleading readers

[Wing, P4350 General] kewal91:
K. .. i just bought an htc wing on dec 17 2008... and at jan 21 2009... or 2day... it decides to stop working... i figure out that i had accidentally washed the phone.. what made it worse was that my brother dried it for like 5 minutes before he heard the clunk clunk clunk of the phone.....

Now im really screwed... I loved that wing.. it was my baby.. an expensive baby to replace. I called T-mobile wing and asked them if they would replace it.. (they dont know about the water damage) and they said yeah but if they found out about this they'd charge me $100.. . i cant do that .. .the only reason i have it is because it was free...

so i looked up some stuff on water damage.. turns out there's a litmus test.. i ripped it out... bury the evidence... but now what?... im sure theyll open it and find like a drop and go "ahah" and charge me that $100... i heard people dried it up for 24 hours and their phones would magically work.. but they would shut back down a couple of weeks later.. so i just dont know what 2 do. is there a professional cell phone fixer in the house?!?!
[Wing, P4350 General] kewal91:
Some body help me!!!!
[Wing, P4350 General] v5HMeca:
Removing the litmus test voids your warranty. You're screwed.

Get insurance. $5-10 per month. Then pay the deductable ($50, I think) to get a replacement phone. Tell them you got the phone for Christmas when they ask you when you purchased it (the reason is because they only insure phones that were acquired within the last 30 days).
[Wing, P4350 General] gamefan231:
well i dont know where u live but when my speaker broke i went to this website

http://www.picocircuits.com/

and i paid 20 dollars (+shipping)...they fix anything
[Wing, P4350 General] dougstoner:
Okay, so I'm assuming you have tried to power it on and it doesn't respond? I had an old Tmobile MDA that I dropped in a sink full of water, and let it dry for about 4 days or so, (with the battery out of course) and it powered back on, and worked fine, with the exception of a couple keyboard letters were harder to push.

So, that being said, I would try to let it dry out as much as possible, (with the battery out), and then try to power up. If it doesn't work, it would prob be more expensive to fix, than find a used one on ebay.
[Wing, P4350 General] kewal91:
Yeah... i Let it dry and everything... its still dead...

I think its now bricked.

Gamefan231... Thats in NY... i live in OK...thats too far away.. but thanks..

Anyway... i called them back.. and yeah. as someone else said.. im screwed.. the litmus thing is going to void.. but they told me the red mark would have done the same..

It was because i got it over christmas.. and that 30 days thing that i have warranty... but i guess i just missed it.. other than that i am screwed..

looking at about a $100 expense.. pretty good deal for a $400 phone.. but now im technically paying for it 2wice.. so anyway....

Never doing laundry again....

I called them. they're going to send me the new one and take the old one back. If they can fix it.. hooray.. if not..not-so-hooray..

So far i have liked T-mobile so im not going to ***** about them BUT someone told me that At & T does water damage... so.. for next time buyers.. thats a hint..

Thanks for all your Help :)
[Wing, P4350 General] v5HMeca:
AT&T and T-Mobile have pretty much the exact same policies with regards to warranty and insurance claims. A "warranty" in this case, is the warranty that comes with the phone and is generally good for 30 days, 90 days, or 1 year, depending on the manufacture, phone model, and whether or not it's refurbished. "Insurance" is when you make monthly payments to your service provider (e.g., T-Mobile), generally $5 per month, and in exchange you are relieved of all liability on your phone, including theft, lost, abuse, etcetera.

T-Mobile and AT&T will both accept a water-damaged phone that is "insured." Water damage, however, will void your "warranty" with either company. That's why in my previous post I was saying to get insurance (which, according to T-Mobile's official policy, can only be acquired within 30 days of registering a phone with your account).
[Wing, P4350 General] kewal91:
Yeah... I should have got the insurance.. just didnt think it was necessary
[Wing, P4350 General] fozf8:
I had a similar event...I spilled a huge energy drink over my Wing. I let it dry for a while, but when I started using it the speaker electrical shocked my ear...and then it started restarting and freezing constantly.

so, I found the service manual...on here I think...and disassemble it, cleaned it out, put it back together and now it dosn't freeze anymore...however the wifi dosn't work. I think I forgot to plug a cable back in. I think I may try to fix it today actually.
[Wing, P4350 General] 1TMobEngineer:
have you tried to dissasemble the handset and clean it with a contact cleaner? that water can be horrible on your handset... Dip the boards in like acetone for a second and blow dry it.. leave it apart for a day or so and put it back together. I can not tell you how many screens I replaced on my MDA(4).. It helps with sticky keys to clean under the keypad..
[Wing, P4350 General] 1TMobEngineer:
if it is of any interest to someone, I beleive I have the original HTC manual for the herald and the MDA..

Whats the best software you can buy for the pocket pc especially for the fuze / touch pro / diamond.

Freeware is awesome there is a ton of cool stuff out there but unfortunately not many people talk about the things you have to pay for.

Any advice? Price is not an issue, quality is the importance. I am more interested in things that take advantage of the built in gsensor and light sensor but in general I am just wondering what you spend your money on as far as PPC applications go to spruce up your phone.

Resco Bubbles is a good game that takes advantage of the g-sensor.

Coreplayer is one of the best fully released media players for PPC.

phoneAlarm - it controls how the phone behaves (profiles), gives you a weather panel, quick launcher, photo dialer and more (top half of screen shot) - all finger friendly

SBSH Pocket Breeze and Pocket weather - because they fit well together (see the bottom half of the screen shot below) - again - finger friendly

BabyMonitor

I'm using the trail version for burglar alarm, and it rocks!

http://www.babymonitor-mobile.com/index.htm

BabyMonitor for Windows Mobile is a software, which allows you to use your smartphone like a burglar alarm. This way, you’ll receive a call if there is a noise in the guarded object.

BabyMonitor comes with noise suppression technology, that can ignore environmental sounds and focuses on the defined noises . This software also silences the phone’s ringer, in order to avoid detecting the smartphone when you get a phone call. Once sound are made, the handset will call a preset number.

Key features of BabyMonitor burglar alarm

1.

Mobility, cheapness, reliability

2.

Unlimited radius of action

3.

Radio noise insensibility

Example

When we leave home for holidays we usually feel nervous about abandoned property. Just place your smartphone in the car or house and if unwanted sounds are detected the handset will call a preset number and you’ll be able to hear what is happening in the guarded object. Remember to turn on power supply to your smartphone when you leave home for a long time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] X2D:
Sounds interesting but my phone NEVER leaves my side.

Anyone else have a list of programs that you've purchased and rely on to get through your day that have good synergy with the Fuze/Touch Pro. Keep 'em coming it's good to know what programs are good to buy.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] martyramos:
b

My list...

WMWiFiRouter...best money ever spent on PPC software

SOTI Pocket Controller...I tried MyMobiler, but this just seems to work better. When in my office, it's nice to be able to access my phone right from my PC

Salling Clicker...kind of a remote control of my laptop from my Fuze...works great when presenting a PowerPoint as I can use my Fuze to step through slides...

SPB Offerings...with the Fuze, I'm using SPB Imageer, Insight (RSSHub is comparable but needs link to download images for offline viewing), Backup and Time (like the snooze on the alarm)...some are better suited for non-TF3D, so considering SecondToday as I miss the standard Mobile screen sometimes...Weather, SPBPocketPlus, etc...all their stuff seems great.

acbTaskManager, SKTools...for diagnostics/troubleshooting, just in case
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] borisku:

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] wanwarlock:
what??? sounds like a good idea, but i don't want my baby to be exposed to harmful radio waves at such a young age. but using it as a housealarm is a good idea, but who wants to leave their phone at home... maybe a spare set i suppose...

Can you expand on the 'save maps locally' comment? I own Pocket Trips and Streets, but it has no Sat view. I really want an add-on or tweak to Google Maps that will cache GBs of maps as I download them, so I can use them faster, and offline too. any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] player911:
Pocket Trips and Streets sucks as a GPS solution. Google maps is free and better because you can use your data to search for places then route to them. Routing isn't the best but works in a pinch.

For GPS needs, look into a GPS program like iGo or TomTom. iGo is my favorite and also has the ability to save all the maps to the SD card. With iGo, the maps are broken up by state. Me personally, I only keep a handful of state maps loaded since it loads faster that way and doesn't consume tons of space with unused maps. You also have a basemap which has major highways and such. The terrain is also 3D that includes hills and 3D landmarks to better help navigate around.

If I am expected to visit a state, then I just copy over that state's map. I think all the maps are roughly 2gb total.

There are GPS programs that allow you to upload your own maps (from Google, etc) to use while navigating. I haven't used such a program thus I cannot comment on its ability to successfully give directions accurately. This would also involve a lot of work getting the maps manually and importing them into said GPS Programs.

I'd stick with Google Maps/Windows Live Search AND a full fledged GPS program of choice. Use GoogleMaps/Windows Live Search for quick searches and minimal GPS navigating functionality, mostly when your in familiar territory. Use a full fledged GPS program when you have no idea where you are for turn-by-turn directions with speech and Points of Interests (POI).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] X2D:
I recommend iGO or TomTom 7 you can get entire map files instead of just trying to cache display maps. Much more usable and something you would expect out of a TTS turn based nav system (TTS on iGO). TomTom 7 is still pretty slick though, but damn iGO is perty ;)

Mark - what apps in particular do you need info about? I just google whatever people are talking about and going to the official website for info / screenshots / demo's to test. If you like the demo or trial version buy the product!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mikemorris:
From what i've read about Tom Tom, you can download maps, for particular areas, i'm not sure how it's broken up, Country, states, cities, etc. I haven't used it but i know many others use it. I believe you save the map to your SD card from the internet instead of saving while using it.:D

[General Questions and Answers] nonzenze:
Hi all,

Here's the symptoms (100% repeatable):

(1) Start->Settings->Keylock-->Set to "no keys locked when sleep"

(2) Go to NueCPL power-interface, commit registry, soft-reset.

(3) Start->Settings->Keylock has been set back to "Lock All Buttons except Power Button".

This is really bizarre. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it would do this.

So far, the only thing I could think to try was go to \HKCU\Software\A_C\S2U2\NoKeyBoardHook and set it to 1

Any other ideas?

Many users have complaint about poor (weak) signal reception...

But others (as me) are getting full bars and excelent coverage :confused::confused:

Please vote and tell the world your Xperience :p
[XPERIA X1 General] George Knighton:
Mine seems to be okay. My completely subjective opinion is that it's not quite as good as my old Motorola Q9h Global, but it is about as good as my Nokia E71-2.
[XPERIA X1 General] Amanox:
Considering that I live in zone 1 of one of the worlds major capitals the signal is crap ! ... in terms of reception DEFINITELY the worse phone I ever had (this is Vodafone / London)
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:

Testd another phone ??

Xperia is crap ??

or Vodafone is crap ??

This is exactly what we expect to find with this poll
[XPERIA X1 General] dmh2907:
I have no problem whatsoever with signal reception anywhere in the city, almost alway full bar.

in buildings (basement, any floor upwards) i got either 2 bars or 3 bars AND HSDPA.

i live in Jakarta, Indonesia btw...
[XPERIA X1 General] Hkt:
Well.. I'm from Telcel Mexico, and I've been testing several radios (stock, xperia's 1.10.25. I dont remember) and the latest from the blackstone.. I've something to say... My Motorola MPx220 has better reception... even my girlfriends LG's Shine has reception in some places I dont :(

I'm hopping that Sony Ericcson can solve this.. (believe me.. it's really a shame that my girlfriend makes fun of my SUPER POWERFUL phone's crap reception..)

:mad:
[XPERIA X1 General] mkouk:
The signal on my X1i is fine, although i can see that the bars fluctuate a lot depending on the location i have never had any dropped calls. I assume that the measurement system on the X1i is far more accurate than i.e. a Nokia where it shows always a full signal until you dial a call and then it drops down a few bars to its actual reading.
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
I would say the signal is as strong as with the Nokia N95 and the SE w900i before. I cannot complain.
[XPERIA X1 General] damskie:
Don't mind your X1.. blame your operator for the signal!
[XPERIA X1 General] twe69:
2008 I had 4 phones all using Vodafone UK.... W960i, W880i, W890i and the X1, going round the same places the signal strength is on par with the w960i for me and better than the w880i and w890i... So that is comparing against 3 other Sony phones....
[XPERIA X1 General] kdspiv:
In the Central US with T-Mobile reception is just fine. = to my w850i
[XPERIA X1 General] WLD0:
For me the X1 works much better than Tytn and Kaiser. I know than Tele2 (Swedish operator) have done som uppgrading. 2G / 3G switching works great now. Before the upgrade it was bad.
[XPERIA X1 General] Steeps:
Had my x1 a week, currently it's getting the same if not slightly better signal than other HTC/SE phones in our house. Our town has poor reception in most areas but my x1 has been no different from other phones so far.
[XPERIA X1 General] zoelucker:
Well i know there were concerns about using T-mobile UK with the X1 but i've not really had any problems. I used to have the w580i and i'd say that was worse than the xperia. My house isn't particulary great for signal and i have two/three bars. So yeah...no issue here!
[XPERIA X1 General] jcsxda:
No problems at all here -London on Vodafone
[XPERIA X1 General] randy_c:
I think we should separate X1i and X1a pole. Look at my reception on X1a with AT&T 3G. I paid $30 for internet
[XPERIA X1 General] Aleemz:
Location: My home address

Operator: O2

Phone: HTC Hermes = connects to HSDPA in every room - never loose signal

Phone: HTC Polaris = connects to HSDPA in every room - never loose signal

Phone: Xperia = Connects to GPRS in most rooms, very occassionaly HSDPA - looses signal regularly

I have tried 3 Xperias all with the same result.

You want me to blame my operator?

When the Xperia is close to a base-station/transmitter there are no signal problems. As soon as the environment gets slightly tricky, it can't cope, unlike my older HTC phones as demonstrated above.

At work, I don't have a problem with any of my phones including the Xperia; I have a base-station on the roof of my office building :D
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
I have both X1a & X1i

My reception on X1a with TIGO 3.5G 850MHz is always HSDPA FULL BARS (urban)

I pay half that for 3,600 kbps internet

Still wanna blame the Xperia ??

That's not fair (for the phone)
[XPERIA X1 General] Amanox:
I ve been with vodafone for the past years at the same address and all other phones get better signal ... however, the main problem is that the Xperia keeps dropping the signal for no reason. to give an exampe ..

Phone lies on my desk with 2 bars reception... when I reach for the phone to write a message or make a phone call, chances are that just by picking it up, e.g. moving it for a couple of inches, the phone will drop the signal .. then I ll have to wait for a minute till it picks it up again - as soon as it does it is back up to 2 bars and I can start making the phone call.

this is however only in areas where the signal is generally weaker e.g. where u would normally not get more than 2 bars anyway (like where I live - although I get full reception on my nokias with the same sim card).

If you are somewhere with good reception then there is no problem

hope that helps
[XPERIA X1 General] Aleemz:
Yep, I get that as well.
