I just signed up for a data plan and am trying to figure out a way to send text messages via data without signing up for a $20 texting plan.

Here is the following options I have come up with

-Use web2mail and send email texts to people. Although this is quite annoying because people say they recieve a new text every time i respond (doesnt come up as one conversation)

-Sign into AOL instan messanger and text people through that. But this kills my batterylife.

-There is an app called mjoy. www.mjoy.com I havent tried it yet, but am considering it.

are there any other options? any java apps or anything that can be used to send text messages?

thanks

ps I have an ATT Fuze.

RE: free sms texing via data?

please just get texting plan.

AIM uses both texts/data.

and is it really worth it to go thru hassle to text friends/family to save 10 to 20 bucks?

and hassling friends/family to get random messages from websites and whatnot?

Yeh - I had the same question.

As it stands, I'm using my email to send texts... but cumbersome at time. Especially when I don't know the persons provider. Anyhow, I saw that the Iphone/Itouch had an app that used Google's SMS feature called Infinite SMS... it got pulled back. Similarly, there is another Iphone/Itouch Textfree and Textfree Lite that sends texts via data, but not using Google's SMS.

I'm not a developer, but I guess if it could be done on the Iphone, then is it possible that it can be done on WM?

OK so I tried to set up the new Google Sync as (extremely poorly - read damn incorrectly) describe here and all I ever get is:

There is not enough free memory on your device to synchronize information. yada, yada, yada

And I say "yada, yada, yada" because we all know that this is a bold faced lie - there is enough memory - something else is wrong here (I just hate it when error messages lie to me. They are worse then error messages that do not detail what the damn error is).

Anybody else got this? Anybody else solved this?

I just got a Mogul. Did the active sync. Downloaded the unlocker. The active sync program disconnected from the device automatically. (not the cable) The rainbow was on the screen with the SPL-1.28.Olipro. It stayed frozen there. I could not get the rainbow off the screen or re-sync it. I tried the soft reset. nothing. I tried a hard reset - nothing. The rainbow is stuck on the screen. I took the battery out. No luck. Can someone please help.

hi,

I have a ipaq 6510 that was not use for a while. I put it to recharge a whole night, but what I get is just a blinking startup screen (that one with the hp logo and the 1.40 somethign version ...)- it's coming on for 1-2 seconds, and going off again ...

I've tried now just with the charger, without the battery, and it's showing me that the device has power, but I can't start it up.

I also tried soft/hard reset.

can anyone help ?

- I got it in bootloader mode, and after that somehow it started up :)

I will come back later with details if everything is working fine

If the battery voltage drops below 3.2V it will not be possible to charg the device.

go to a gsm repair shop and ask them to charge your battery.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280311426365&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&viewitem=&salenotsupported

Let you know when I get it on the build. Mobilefun have a big problem with getting in stock with new phone items. Took me 4odd weeks to get my diamond desktop cradle!
[Touch HD Accessories] sk282:
I got the deluxe cradle from eXpansys as a bundle together with the phone. The price was reasonable that way but if you want to get the cradle on its own, the current price is a lot more expensive there than mobilefun. Also my phone arrived first and had to wait for the cradle more than a week so I guess there aren't many of them around at the moment.
[Touch HD Accessories] Troubled:
Ebay for 22 pounds has it but it is simple and ugly...but I bought it anyways...

As for what was written on the ebay one you found I got that one too, just ordered it last night, but it not at all nice, or very good looking it seems...Have you seen the blackberry all nickel and black holder...now thats a telephone cradle!!!

[Touch HD Accessories] sydneysider:
I'm in oz, I am having the same problem with the, 'available soon' down here also, so I gave the g/f a job to do while she is in the UK.

She has found, as you have, that even the stores that are showing 'in stock' actually dont have any. :mad:

One store has told us, 'they had them but have run out but are getting more stock this friday'.

IF they do get them, AFTER the g/f grabs mine, I'll post which shop here. ;)

( price is £22.95 )
[Touch HD Accessories] dedafmonteur:
try the one from dealextreme, its good

its does his job
[Touch HD Accessories] kidd78:
Arrived a few days ago brought it off ebay from hong kong only one seller so far

fits snuggly but little hard to get off one handed. Probably it will loosen up.

Lid to the spare battery charger is a bit flimsy worried I will snap it off.

Back has usb power input and usb to your pc.

Does the job and looks nice

bad points are that the lid is flimsy and the blue light that is at the front is very bright, if your like me you have the charger next to your bed then you dont really want a lit up blue room. I will try a black marker to make the light smaller might help maybe not?!
[Touch HD Accessories] sydneysider:
didnt happen, and now they are telling us stock will arrive monday :mad:

[Touch HD Accessories] lancemate:
ordered mine from mobile fun on wednesday afternoon and it arrived yesterday morning - less that 24 hours

it is nice and sturdy, but really required 2 hands to remove the phone because it is so light, but then i guess it would have to weigh a fair bit to allow one handed operation.

As mentioned before the spare battery cover is flimsy as hell but seeing as I dont have a spare battery - this doesnt concern me.

Overall - very happy, it comes with a USB lead AND a wall charger so you can sync to pc and charge at full mains speed.

Well worth £20!

[Touch HD General] Jbvb:
:eek:Very confused, I minute I was listening to music and the next minute my memory card became unreadable. I have resetted the phone several times and have taken the memory card out and reinserted it and still it will not read that card and when booting as majority of my programs is on the card error messages on boot gallore. Also tried my sd card on my friends HTC and also same problem.

Any way to fix this problem as it still shows that the SD card has 1gig of information on it but it cannot see.

Hope someone can shed some light on this. THanks:(
[Touch HD General] Toggs:
USB?

I understand that it's highly unlikely ..........But, you're not connected via the usb cable to a PC are you? this will hide the starage card (unless by activesync)
[Touch HD General] Jbvb:
Nope not connected to anything.. In Fact when I connect it to the computer, the computer won't recognize it either ..
[Touch HD General] cybermaus:
Simply read these threads. Not that it will fix your card, but it will help you accept you simply need to buy a new one (given that you claim your PC also does not recognize it)

Personally, I consider myself lucky that it is the card that broke, not the phone.
[Touch HD General] Cheesy Dave:
Check out the StorageTools app mentioned in the Thread above.

This has a verify option for SD cards. I used it on my 16gig card when it started behaving strange (due to some weird app I used and terminated).

Later I used the format option to fix the card - worked fine !!

:confused: Wisbar Advanced Desktop 2 or Touch FLow 3D???

Ive had my HD for a week now and barely scratched the surface of this fantastic piece of kit, Im still running the bog standard HTC TF3D theme/homescreen, the thing is, the more WAD2 stuff I see, the more I like. I've checked out www.lakeridgesoftware.com and www.swampthing.net and I think Im going to go with WAD2. Just wondering what the general opinion is...pros and cons?

Thanks guys, great forum btw ! :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] twisted-pixel:
pros : you can do just about anything you want with WAD

Cons : steep learning curve I've found
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] xX SPION KOP Xx:
Ok mate, thanks. Presumably by steep learning curve, it depends how far you are willing or 'able'(!) to go into it? There seems to be alot of info floating around here and other net forums.

Any more opinions? :confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
I'm using WAD2 as of right now and love all the capabilities of the software. I agree that it is a steep learning curve but for us WM users, isn't that one of the pluses for owning these awesome devices? WAD2 outperforms TF3D as far as usefulness functionality.

The only thing I miss about TF3D is the weather animation...which I believe will soon be incorporated somehow in WAD2! :cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dcoales:
TF3D looks pretty to start with but it always seems to take me 1 or 2 taps/slides more than I would like to do what I want.

WAD2 lets me configure my home screen exactly as I want. I have my most common contacts, playlists, application shortcuts and notifications all in one place.

If you use Davideuck's ROM he also includes wkTask which works great for me alongside WAD2. I use WAD2 desktop mainly for notifications, agenda display, contact shortcuts and a few useful but less frequent application shortcuts. I use the downward swipe feature of wkTask to call up a launcher with my 12 most common shortcuts (which can be called up from anywhere). I'm sure you can install wkTask separately but I would recommend Davideuck's ROM as it's very stable and seems to fly along with great battery life.

Cheers,

David
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] xX SPION KOP Xx:
Thanks for the answers guys, think I'll go with WAD 2. ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Let the configuring begin...Good luck!!! :cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SnooPPP:
Is there a way to keep theTouch Flo interface and just make WAD2 like a softkey shortcut on the homescreen of TouchFlo? It would be cool if I could switch interfaces on the fly like that
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] xX SPION KOP Xx:
Not sure about that, it sounds like a good idea, I just think some of the WAD themes are the dogs bollocks! Maybe one of these guys can help, you done a forum search?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Do a search for "Second Today". I've heard that this program will allow something like this to be done... not quite sure how it work as I haven't tried it myself yet. :cool:

Last night before I was going to bed I have had my xperia fully charged.

When I woke up this morning the battery was almost empty.

I can't understand how that happened :S I had no programs running except maybe g-alarm.

Anyone who has an idea what could've drained my battery?
[XPERIA X1 General] damskie:
No reception or low signal from ur fone provider maybe? it consumes a lot of power getting the signal. Or your wifi is turn on.
[XPERIA X1 General] Dr.Sid:
Happened to me several times.

But I'm not sure I didn't let something run in the background. Mediaplayer for example .. skype can eat battery in minutes too.

Also I don't know what battery level I had at the evening. It was above 50%, but then with Xperia, the indicated level does not correspond to remaining time well. It drops fast after 50%.

I would love if I could close any application with red phone button. Anybody knows about software which can do it ?
[XPERIA X1 General] human75:
are you using fish panel?fish panel caused battery drain in my experience.also bluetooth and wifi as well.
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
do you use AEButton plus or S2U2 (more to the point AEButton here) as AEButton especially seems to have drainage issues if its 2.6.5, at least it seemed to for me and some others...
[XPERIA X1 General] Dr.Sid:
None of these. And Fish panel for example cannot be left running in the background (AFAIK). Media player, or skype easily, since they are even intended to be run in background.
[XPERIA X1 General] axjiii:
Happens mee also sometimes. Weekend I noticed that after useing opera it does it. I chargered my xperia in friday, didnt use it then whole day, or in saturday, but in saturday night I wanted to check news whit opera, battery was 90% when I start, after use its was 80%. I go to sleep and morning I waked up to that xperia says battery critical. It cant be anything else when I didint use nothing else whole day, and when it was allredy stand one day whit only 10% loss, and now randomly use 60% battery at night.
[XPERIA X1 General] FrezoreR:
I think I had S2U2 running in the background, could that be it?

I'll soft reboot before going to bed tonight and see what happens ^^
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
use fdcsoft task manager, it'll tell you what's running

battery won't run down on its own, it needs something to cause it.

as said lowsignal will do itn

do you really need to leave the x1 on overnight?

if you turn it off it'll be all nice and alert after a nice sleep :)

only time my x1 runs low is if I fall asleep reading something with mobipocket on autoscroll...
[XPERIA X1 General] scar45:
I found that when I was running Push E-Mail over iMAP, I had this battery draining issue. Make sure you're configuring FlexMail or any other IMAP IDLE client to only the essential folders that you want to keep 'live', as each IMAP IDLE folder requires its own connection and can eat up a lot of resources/battery.

I've actually wrote myself a MortScript that will monitor the battery status and allow FlexMail to stay open if the battery is over 80%, and it will close FlexMail if the battery falls below 80%.

Still hating the fact that we only get battery readouts in 10% increments. Total crap for a high profile device...
[XPERIA X1 General] Dr.Sid:
I don't need to know what is running. I want to be sure I've just closed something. In fact I need to close 99% of application, I only need IM+ in background and that only sometimes. Also sometimes I need to adjust some settings without closing current application. But otherwise I always want to close, not minimize, and I want to do it with a key.
[XPERIA X1 General] bu_waleed:
Same issue here , will a lil bit more tricky , i had my phone TURNED OFF , and was CHARGING , woke up and the red little light on the power button ( light of death) was on, replaced my batter with my spare one , and the phone came back to life , yet it isn't charging ( the charging icon is there but still not charging) , I'm using the wall charger ( if any one is thinking of an usb issue) . So for now i'm useing an "external battery base charger" which sucks to be honest ( takeing the battery in and out isn't the best thing ever ) ..

The funny part is that SOMETIMES ( 1 out of 100 ) the phone charges, why !! i don't really know . I reflashed my device , hardreset and done anything someone can possibly do yet no solution , it's not on warranty and to be honest i think that it's more of a software issue (i know that not charging while switched off is against this ) , I'll be so greatful if any of you guys have any ideas

I had the same problem, but for me it happend when I got a text message at night the the screen wouldn't turn off but xperia tweak fixed that :)
[XPERIA X1 General] bedlam_au:
I had one instance of mysterious night-time draining. It actually woke me up at 4am with the low battery alarm.

The only thing I think might have caused it is that I had it sitting next to my old Nokia, which was switched off. I figure its antenna must have been interacting with the X1's such that it had to go to full power just to keep the cell signal.
[XPERIA X1 General] groovee:
Hello all,

I don't have this issue now but i've noticed something weird last night.

All background applications was turned off, screen backlight was turned off, LEDs on both sides was turned off... But there was white light inside my phone. I was sleepy so i didn't check keyboard backlight. Propably it was it. It was visible only it dark, in correct angle.

I've turned device off and on again and there was no light any more.

Li-ion or Li-poly?

i've been searching forums here and there regarding x1's battery issue and i'm not using any of those suspected programs (AEplus, S2U2, batti, etc.). mine is just stock xperia as of now, except for SPB plus. but still my battery only manages 14 hours of juice with very minimal usage i assure you. i have tried charging while off, hard reset, upgrade to R2A UK generic ROM, but still my battery sucks. i also noticed on the Settings>Power box that my "Main battery" is Li-ion, isn't it supposed to be Li-poly as the one written on the battery itself (BST-41)? Also, how much drain do we expect from a weak carrier signal? thanks guys.:confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] Ruudfood:
I also had a problem with the battery not lasting me through the night. I eventually found out it was S2U2. I upgraded to v1.45 (with the power-saving option) and now the battery remains at the same level during the night.
[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
You said it yourself.

I've been experiencing this for many days. I would charge my unit overnight only to be awaken by the low battery signal. In a normal scenario my X1 would only loose only 0-10% over a period of 8 hours in standby. When the fast discharge occurred it would drop to 50-60% and the unit was warm in touch.

I checked repeatedly to find which program was to blame, soft reset the device various times and changed my usage patterns to rule out programs that didn't had to do with it.

In the end I discovered that every time G-Alarm was triggered or set up an Alarm the quick discharge effect and warm device appeared.

I got rid of it and haven't encountered the problem again.
[XPERIA X1 General] randy_c:
I am using ABCpowermeter to monitor battery. Weird drain more when charging. Can you try it out?
