need help

How do you delete a program from the "recommended open with" list? I can't find the solution anywhere for the PPC and the solution for the PC doesn't work because it has different folders in the registry.

Here's more detail:

-was trying to modify the thread_sms.htm file by trying to open it using Notes

-it didn't work and now I have Notes in the list of recommended programs to open the file with

-it doesn't recommend opening with Notes in other file types, just in those ending in .htm

-when trying the solution for PCs, I can get as far as HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer...that's it, no other option to get to file extension list

???

Hi AllTHe Way,

Thanks for your kind offer. The Tiny Reader cab is at

It also happens with Microsoft Reader, downloaded from the Microsoft site.

I'm still running ROM 1.14.404.3 NLD dated 12/9/08.

Advanced Configuration should allow you disable sleep while in a call.

First flash HardSPL by following the steps. It's really quite easy. Then flash the ROM of your choice.

You need to flash HardSPL first.

Voicemail - how to disable?

How do you go about disabling voicemail? On my previous phones, you went to the diverts or call settings menu, and selected Cancel all diverts. I can't see how to do that with the Touch HD.

Also, how do you get rid of existing Voicemail alerts on the screen?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Step666:
I have been doing some looking around already, even before I got my Touch HD or joined this forum but I don't seem to have dug up much so far.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, I don't know - I'm still rather new to WinMo, so it's a distinct possibility.

Basically, I'm not hugely fussed on TouchFlo.

I mean don't get me wrong, it's not terrible and I can think of far worse interfaces but half the reason I went for a WinMo handset was to be able to customise and tweak it.

So whilst I'm far from hating my phone, I am wondering if maybe there's something better out there.

So far, in terms of alternatives, I'm aware of the Xperia panels (which currently don't work on the HD), whatever exactly the name is of Samsung's UI that runs on the Omnia (which I just don't like the look of), something called 'PointUI' (which seems to resemble a rather simplistic TouchFlo clone, from what I've seen in screendumps) and Winterface I think it's called (but if I wanted a phone with the iPhone's UI, I wouldn't've bought an HTC).

I'm also aware that other companies who also make WinMo handsets have their own UIs as well but the only one I've read anything about so far is the UI that Asus use and what I read wasn't good. Plus, obviously, there's the UI for the up-coming TG01 but it doesn't really jump out at me.

What I'm wondering than is if there's any notable exceptions from the group I've listed, or even any not-so-notable/relatively unheard-of ones.

I'm just looking for something... different. I know that's not much to go on but I suppose the truth is that I don't really know myself what I'm after.

Something that stands out is probably about as close a description as I can offer up.

Any help or advice will, of course, be greatly appreciated.

edit: apologies for posting this in the wrong place.

You could try Wisbar Advance Desktop with one of the WVGA skins you find here, or even make one yourself.

WAD is highly customizable, you can create almost anything you like.

Another UI is Bell UI, which is pretyy similar to TouchFlo.

Re: Proxy support on android

Is there a way to route all the traffic down a port so that it goes through an ssh tunnel? i can use connectbot to create the tunnel, and using the anycut method to access the proxy settings. But only the google browser uses these settings, and it only seems to apply when using gprs not wifi.

Is there a relativily easy way to route the traffic down the tunnel so that for instance secure browsing can be accomplished over unsecure wifi connections?

thanks

Default SFR France Samsung i900 also locked

Hi,

My samsung i900 is also locked. It is officially recognized as Samsung Player addict i900 and is coming from france. The telco operator was SFR France.

I've tried to unlock it via the unlocking tool found in this thread, tried by up- and downgrading to various firmwares, tried via the service codes but alwas receive "SIM FAILURE ERROR HAPPENED" when trying to change the MCC/MNC.

In the registry, the IMSI code was mentioned not active. Via my brothers unlocked I900, I was able to retrieve my ISMI.

I am a Belgium user and want to use Proximus (code = 206013).

The Xperia doesn't have host capabilities, but is it possible to get such functions with suitable drivers? Such drivers are discussed in this thread:

http://forum.ppcwarez.org/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=58813

As you can see they work with certain winmo devices. I wasn't able to make them work with my Xperia, but maybe one of you guys would be able to do it. Any other solutions?
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
PC

Not sure I'd bother really. What do you need to connect? If it's for storage just get yourself devices that take SD cards, then use MicroSD in adapters, then y ou can easily take it out and put it in the Xperia to copy stuff over.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Well, I guess I want my Xperia to have all sorts of capabilities. Imagine connecting an external DVD-RW drive and burning a couple of disks...... How about that ! :D

[XPERIA X1 General] ZenithUK:
The only reason that I could reasonably see for having a USB host to to accept USB pendrives for copying data to the microSD card. I can see 3-4 reasons why it wouldn't work, the primary one being that the USB port won't provide 5v/500mA to power the external peripheral.
[XPERIA X1 General] Mrca:
Just a idea...

i have an idea which i like to share with You ...Imagine one small box with 4 ordinary aa mignon bateries inside and a card reader inside and a mini usb cable going out from that thing. Ok, now what we have here? Alternative charger for Your Xperia if You need it,some extra backup space for Your data and all we need is Usb host drivers on xperia. Advantages of this stuff is that everyone can make it, its a cheap solution,You can buy a batteries in almost every market and its just a basic idea so You can upgrade it as You need it. The fact is that we now have a power (5v/500ma) which we need for usb host. Please let me know what are You think of this and sorry for my bad English
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Hm.... So the Xperia doesn't have a powered USB right? Can't this be changed by a software hack or something or is it hardware related? Is there a device that can be put between the Xperia and the external flash and that provides some form of power, like the one "Mrca" suggested above my post?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rottis:
Hi, i've seen a lot of request for a raphael speaker hardmod and also tried to find one myself, well.. As you thought, no luck.

So I decided to make one of my own, and yes, it works!

So here's what i've done (every piece makes it a bit better, so, choose the ones you wish to do, or do all of them like i did!):

1. Cut the back cover to look similiar to the original desing from htc (Picture 1)

Just throw the first metal grill (the one on the back cover) to garbage, that's what i did :) As the speaker has a cloth on it, you don't need those grills.

2. Make some room for sound to echo inside the back cover (Picture 2)

I did 1. and 2. with normal household scissors.

3. Prevent the sound from the front of the speaker going to the back of the speaker and thus undoing some sound. Try to insulate the back a bit (Picture 3) I did it with 2-sided 1mm thick tape and left the protecting layer on the tape (green) so it doesn't stick to the back cover.

4. Open up the phone (Help to disassembly here), lift the speaker and the.. uh.. thing on top of the speaker off from the back housing carefully (2-sided tape keeping it in place) so you wont break it. Time to throw away the second metallic speaker grill! Use scissors to carve the speaker hole bigger (see speaker in picture 3), use the tape that kept the speaker in it's place as a guide to how big to carve the hole, but don't cut any tape off, the hole becomes too big if you do that! :)

Video 1 : Results of the mod, you should hear the difference clearly! Too bad i didn't have a video of an original Raphael, but i think you do have one there as you're reading this.

Video 2 : Comparing the results with and without the back cover. This shows how big difference does the "sound echoing space" inside the back cover (Whatever) do!

And last side note before you begin, i will not take responsibility of ANY damage etc you manage to do to your precious phone. I've broken one already, did the mistake to grab the speaker wires and the speaker stopped working as the wires cut off.

Also, be VERY careful with this mod, you're working with the interior of the phone! Please don't do this if you don't have any experience disassembling/reassembling mobile phones.

Hope this helps you as much as it did me! :) It actually sound better live than on the vid, too bad my camcorder saves the vid to some ****ty format when recording to SD.

(Did i rickroll you btw? :D)

Is the speaker volume really to quiet to justify a hardCORE mod that could ruin your phone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] elivne:
GR8 work!

it's nice to see you can fix the very low system volume.

I was especially amazed from the echo box effect on the rear housing.

thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] incisivekeith:
Initially, I was not going to reply to this, but it seems to me that you may be in the process of buying a Fuze and this may be very important for you to know.

No, the system volume is not that low, and frankly speaking, it is an issue which exists in some phones, not all. And, if it's possible for you to take a look at the phone at an AT&T store, do so, and decide for yourself (take a look at more than one Fuze).

@Rottis: Would you disagree that the low volume problem does not exist on all phones?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ndda:
I didn't know that the volume problem exists on some phones. I own a HTC Touch Pro by Vodafone with no issues related to the volume (other annoying issues though).

I thought that the phones should be technically similar only with different brandings.

Do they use different hardware?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rottis:
No, not all phones have the problem. I had an Sony Ericsson P1i before this raphael, and its speaker was truely amazing! And you could make it even better with a softmod.

That's the main reason i did this mod, as I have gotten used to a good quality speaker.

@Giannis86: try to install FFDSHOW (google for it) and it should work. Do not use Windows Media Player though. Sorry, i don't know the codec it uses for sound, but it should be some popular one, i didn't have to install any codecs for it (Using ubuntu btw).

@ndda: Yes it is, have you ever heard it? Or if you have, have you ever compared it to, for example the P1i?

If you ask me, the mod was worth it!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rottis:
@ndda: Sorry, i missed a part in your message, yeah, i think they DO use the same hardware, it wouldn't make any sense if they didn't.

Well, the sprint version is different, but that does make sense.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Agent Blair:
I've done something similar to this with my old Dell Axim x5 to fix a touch-screen issue, but I did this knowing my Axim was worth only $50. I think it would have been more helpful if you showed a picture of the speaker wire and the connector, because I had to deal with that with my Dell and it wasn't as delicate as you describe the one on the Raphael.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rottis:
Here's some pics of the speaker, it's wire and connector as requested.
