[Touch HD General] lotw:
I just got my Touch HD yesterday. Wasn't sure if I wanted it because I love 3d speeds, but went with it anyways. I really, really, like this phone, way better than my ATT Tilt. It seems faster as just about everything, but internet, but browsing the web is not too much slower. For Youtube and stuff you just have to wait longer for the stream to start or use an Open WIFI.

What really makes me like this phone (so far), is the large screen and fast responce (most of the time).

However I have found a few problems, 1st I could not get it to talk to my PC. Tried on my laptop and worked. I had to un-install the Windows Mobile Device Center off my PC, then re-install from the inclosed CD. Worked perfect after that. Another problem isn't really the deviced fault, it is some programs I have from my old WM dont work well or at all on it. I also miss the real keyboard, but getting used to the touch only one (so over time will like it better).

The camera isn't that slow, at least on mine. It is better then the one the Tilt has all around. I have had no problems taking pictures with it so far, seems to work pretty fast for a device that has to focus before taking that is that small. Sure a real digital camera is faster, but they also are meant for taking pics only.

I'm searching the threads for info on unlocking my phones? failing! I can't understand most of what I'm reading and I'm not sure this is something I can do myself. I purchased 3 of these SX56 in a lot and all are asking for a SIM PIN with my AT&T sim card.

I'm clueless and quite ignorant on the subject. I seen on thread saying to copy a link to the phone and run it?????? I don't know how to do that and I don't want to screw this up. any advice for a newbie?

Good luck,
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
First and foremost, you either have an SX56 or a Blue Angel. The Blue Angel is the SX66, the SX56 is an older device called by the name of Wallaby. Please specify which one you did get exactly so that we can direct you to the right place for help.
[General Questions and Answers] freek2fast:
The sx56 is the phone that is SIM locked. I tried the XDA developers ROM for wallaby last night and failed. Now one of the phones are stuck in the "upgrading" mode and I'm afraid it's hopeless. any idea if it can be recovered? I think the problem was with the activesync, it wasn't current enough and I was required to get a newer version. I downloaded the latest free version and it said my phone was updating but it didn't??????
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
All phones are SIM locked (unless it is unlocked by either manufacturer or by the user). If the phone was SIM locked and you tried to upgrade it without unlocking, then you might be in trouble. Now, your phone is in "upgrading mode", and what you are trying to say is that the phone is in bootloader mode... if it can access bootloader, then you still have a fighting chance.

First of all, we agree that you have a Wallaby and not a Blue Angel, correct? (the one with the big black external antenna that houses the stylus). If that is not the case, now would be a good time to let us know.

Second, your message wasn't exactly clear. what did you exactly do to your phone to get it stuck in bootloader? Please go step by step on what you did...
[General Questions and Answers] freek2fast:
My phones are the Wallaby SX56, these are SIM locked but the carrier is AT&T according to the logo on the front of the phone. I put my AT&T SIM card in the phone and it asked me for a SIM PIN.

Here's the steps I took to get where I am currently,

went to Wiki XDA Developers and found my device "Wallaby" Clicked the link to unlockwiz and chose my device "I have a Wallaby" Next question asked if my ROM version was on te list, it was not and I choose accordingly. I did not have a serial cable and I choose not to back up my current ROM to opt for the "special edition" by XDA Developers This is a new phone to me and I had no need of any saved contact info, next I clicked the link download and install "special edition ROM" Here's the link I used

: http://www.romkitchen.de/tools/special_rom_1.2.exe.zip

***I think I just found my failure, under readme: system requirements do not include Vista! I went to microsoft and downloaded a newer version of activesync and it was not compatible with Vista. I ran a program there to fix the compatiblity issue and it said download complete.***

the phone recognized the USB connection last night and I started the download, during the download I got an error message that the COMM/USB port connection had failed and to check the connection in device manager.

at the time device manager was showing the HTC device but now it's not. I cannot find the activesync program on my computer and my device is not showing up anywhere when I connect it to the computer.

I noticed at the bottom of my screen, the "safely remove hardware" Icon used to stay on the bar until I clicked it to remove the device, now the icon closes after a few seconds when the device hasn't been disconnected. not sure if this is important or not but maybe helpful.

currently the phone is in bootloader and when I connect it to the USB it shows up in the device manager but status is "the device cannot start" code 10 please check for solution with microsoft.

It's obvious that I'm not smart enough to be attempting a fix________Nice Siemens SX56 for sale for parts only, make an offer?

I've got activesync again but not sure whats next, I get an error in windows mobile trying to connect to one of the other wallabies. I need to know how to recover the bootloader phone?????
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
Try to do it with a XP computer rather than a Vista one. It is not only a matter of ActiveSync, but the way the OS works with the flashing...
[General Questions and Answers] freek2fast:
I had a feeling that was coming!

So tell me where to start once I get to an XP machine. I'm in bootloader so do I start the entire process over as if I weren't in bootloader? and am I using the right link "unlockWiz" to do what I need?
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
Just follow the steps in the wiki (exactly as you see them). I'll try to see if I can go back and check on the whole procedure (I have a Wallaby myself, which I haven't used since 2005, but I saved it from becoming a paperweight after a bad flash).

Try to see if you can flash the original rom with the XP machine. If you can't, then you may want to try the SD flash method... that's the one that saved mine.

Report back to see if it worked.

Good luck!

Has anyone created a better looking skin for the system message bubbles?

For anyone who uses S2U2, and has their SMS messages appear on screen, they look terrible compared to the skins of all of the great themes.

Would it be difficult for someone to create something like this, with the associated soft buttons, to be attached to the bubbles, and have it centered in the screene, much like the iPhone bubble placement.

[XPERIA X1 General] Needs:
Hey guys.

Im looking for GPS programs/softwares that are compatiable with the X1.

I heard many like TomTom, Garmin, etcetc..

Just wondering if there are any other recommened GPS softwares that

do not require any internet connectivity

. (for use especially in Asia countries)

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 General] buzz83:
TomTom doesn't require internet connectivity. I have TT7 on my X1 and do not use any data while navagating (I have not enabled QuickGPS which would use some data though).

I find TT7 very good and prefer it to my cars inbuilt gps.

I also use run.gps uv trainer as an exercise log - again no data connection needed.
[XPERIA X1 General] Cheeze[iT]:
A lot of GPS software don't use data. Garmin, Tomtom.. all you have to do is pre-load what maps you need on the card and your good to go.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
I have tried all of them and IMHO the best one is IGO8.
[XPERIA X1 General] Needs:
I've to buy the software, do I?

Or is there a free download for the software?
[XPERIA X1 General] Needs:
where can i get a download if it?
[XPERIA X1 General] Atropine:
I really like the UI on TomTom and I've been using it in both my WinMo's. Currently v7.910 in my X1 with the latest European maps and it works like a charm.

QuickGPS is set to automatically download data only when I attach the X1 to a computer.

I am pretty convinced that other nav software like Navigon and iGO will work fine too. Stick to one of the most popular because you will be able to find much more resources on the web, POIs and such.
[XPERIA X1 General] Needs:
Are they free? Or do i have to pay for the softwares?
[XPERIA X1 General] Flying h4x0r:
Some are free, some you have to pay for.

Here's a good index of a lot of free GPS programs, you can read about them and see what fits your needs best:

http://www.maps-gps-info.com/fgpfw.html#WindowsMobile
[XPERIA X1 General] Needs:
what im about to request is quite demanding...

so.. please do not take it to heart.

Can you provide(or spoonfeed) me with one thats is totally free, with all maps downloaded so that i do not need internet connectivity when i use my GPS. Best is it comes with Asia maps.

(the list Flying H4x0r gave is too confusing.. and i couldnt figure which requires interenet, and which doesnt)

Thank you.
[XPERIA X1 General] Dandie:
There are GPS Tools for free but there is no free navigation system on the market that does real offline navigation like TomTom, Navigon etc. So, forget it.
[XPERIA X1 General] Skurai123:
Google maps require an internet connection right?
[XPERIA X1 General] scote:
mobile gmaps (google mgmaps) support online and offline maps. it is a java app and similar to google maps in operation. It does not do turn by turn navigation - but its better than nothing and its free.
[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
garmin is your best bet. There are ways to get it free, but that would be highly ILLEGAL and i dont recommend it.
[XPERIA X1 General] Needs:
For offline maps, do i need to pre-download them?

So, the offline maps only allow me to find out where I am, is there right? :x

Thank you

[XPERIA X1 General] Fr@:
Garmin has some problems on my X1i.

The backlight doesn't stay on, the phone keeps entering stand by. That's really annoying, and it doesn't happen with Tom Tom 7.

Is it just me not configuring something?
[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
go to settings (on your garmin) -> Display -> backlight override -> tick always on

otherwise just go to your phone setting ->system -> power -> advanced -> untick the "turn of device if not used for...."

when the system goes to sleep, it cuts off the gps connection. It took me a while to figure that out. LOL
[XPERIA X1 General] Fr@:
Thanks... I suppose it should have been the defauld setting on Garmin, since I can not find any reason of having a navigator and having to power your device every 3 min!
[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
glad that works...just wondering though, my xperia seems to get pretty hot when i use it for navigation after about >30 min or so.

I know it sounds normal, im just afraid i might fried the litlle bugger off...
[XPERIA X1 General] marktty:
I'm using Mapking 2007 and Garmin XT. Both of them work perfectly!!
[XPERIA X1 General] E90 Commie:
A simple question: is there a good G meter app for the X1? I.e an app who can measure acceleration with the onboard GPS?

I have found the "Gmeter" for the HTC Touch Pro and HD but it seems to require onboard accelerometer. Or is that application working on the X1?
[XPERIA X1 General] xdapol90:
I am using Wayfinder which comes with X1i, It is working perfectly alright except it uses data. Route 66 is the second one I am using on my X1i, it does not use any data from internet ,BUT, it is not accurate as Wayfinder.

Co Pilot 7 is also compatible with X1i but I have not tried yet becuase I dont have it !
[XPERIA X1 General] Persian Boy:
The new version of Wayfinde(8.1.1) working very well on my X1i. I have a scandinavian license and I have download all maps to my SD card.

You can download maps via WayFinder MapLoader which is free to download

program but you must have a license to do it work.

Secundary GPS program which I recomended is MASPware GPSmeter 5.03.3330. it also work well on X1. :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] Psyberd:
I've searched looked..

My Question may seem dumb if so, sorry in advanced.

I have a Touch HD.

Ok, when I'mm offered a choice of install i should choose ARM... yes? what about XScale? ok what puzzles me is I've seen where i have a choice of

XScale.cab , ARM.cab, ARMv4.cab ARMv9.cab StrongARM.cab

Now which to choose? tinkering around ALL of them seem to work. So what's the difference, does it matter? Which should be chosen?
[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
It is pretty confusing and I am not certain this post will even start to clear it up.

In your case the Touch HD is poweerd by a Qualcomm MSM7201A which is an ARMv6 processor. For a short history of ARM processors see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture For further specific details on each type can be downloaded from http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp

The lowest common denominator of the lot is ARM but the vast majority of PPCs and Smartphones are powered by ARMv4 processors or later.

Whether it would run probably depends on the program compiler and whether it has been forced into optimizing code for a particular processor class. If not, it will probably stick to the vanilla ARM/Thumb instruction set. If there are no instructions in the final code that the processor cannot run, it should work. ARMv4 would be the lowest PPC common platform.

I have developed a few native Embedded C++ programs which are targetted at ARMv4 processors. When connected in 'Release' mode to my Wizard, (powered by a Texas Instruments OMAP 850 - (ARMv9)), it complains that the executable will not run on the target machine, continue Yes/No.

It's lying!!!! Continue and the program loads and runs without a hitch.

I was thrilled when I got my Blackstone, I thought "finally I can listen to radio wherever I go" but I learned quick that it was quite useless since the receptiom is so bad :/ With both the headset that comes with and my sennheiser hd 25-1

anyone kmow anyway to make better reception?
[Touch HD Accessories] spzero:
as the antenna is your headphone lead make it as long as possible. you can get one of these and keep the cable as high up as possible so maybe wrap round the back of you neck (not too much or else you could hang yourself.)
[Touch HD Accessories] Matterhorn:
The antennae length for FM should be 59" to be exactly 1/2 wave which should give the best reception. If you load an app called HDTweak, it will allow you to increase the sensitivity of the built-in FM radio of the HD.

Hello i need info or at least somebody tell me where to get info on how to flash the HTC XV6900 to Metro Pcs fro Sprint. I searched but could not find a definitely answer or a write up on how to do this.I just bough one from a guy on craigslist after reading it can be flashed and since my phone is dying anyway seem like the perfect moment.

I know i can pay someone else to do this but after my wife and 2 girls saw mine and watched a video on you tube of a flashed Touch they all want one so paying $60+ to get it flash plus the cost of each phone is not possible.Also there are people selling the software for flashing but i don't want to pay for something that may not work or maybe can't do myself after all.

Also want to note that i'm using linux on my laptop but have windows on my wife desktop.

did you finally get your phone flashed? I am presently in the same situation that you were in. Any help is appreciated.
[Touch CDMA General] Detroit_Doug:
Guys, read this link

HERE

it will help you out with what to read up on, what files are needed and where to get them and a step by step on what you will see when flashing

This is for a Custom WinMO 6.5 ROM from NFSFAN though so if you need something else you can still use it just some of the examples may not relate but the idea is still the same

As for the Linux user - do this via your wifes desktop (I love Linux just have Windows all over my house for work as well)

People keep posting links to the HTC Elf/Elfin could someone use the steps to SIM and CID unlock their HTC Vogue using the steps for the Elf/Elfin without it bricking?

As of right now, there aren't any steps(that I'm aware of) for flashing/ CID unlocking the HTC Touch.
[Touch CDMA General] slow88lx:
The best instructions I found were here. Just scroll down to where it gives instuctions for the Touch. There are even instuctions for flashing ROM via memory card(which I can tell you do work).

Basically you'll need the correct coke unlocker and the new ROM. First you flash the cokeman unlocker that matches your situation and then when that's finished flash the ROM. I recommend flashing the new ROM at least twice before you start using it. I flashed the new NFSFAN's v8 Windows 6.5 ROM three times and it's working way smoother than last time when I was running v7....which I only flashed once. The best advice I can give you is to have patience.

Hi,

I would like to sell my HTC Touch PRO purchased in Dubai (3 Months Ago). It is in mint condition, never dropped, no scratches in full packing with receipts.

Original price was AED 3499/-.

Package includes:

*Full original package contents

*Original HTC Car Kit (Car mount, car charger)

*Fully loaded with and working GPS Software (Garmin XT with full Middle East Maps).

Reason for sale: I just tried on an E71 and like it better, its more stable, although I do love the interface on the touch pro but it definately should be more stable that what it is.

Anyone interested please do respond I'm looking for a price of atleast AED 2000/-.

Thanks

Hi,

I live in United Arab Emirates, hence the currency, AED. So the price will either be AED 2000/- or USD 530/-.

Yes its completely unlocked and has a new version of RC3 ROM installed on it too.

If you are OK with the price let me know and ill take a few photos. But the device is in mint condition, no marks on it what so ever.
