Any Tilt or Kaiser owners plan to upgrade to the Touch Pro 2? Does it seem like it would be a significant upgrade? I'm curious to what you fellow Tilt/Kaiser owners think...
[General Topics] shadowline:
I plan to upgrade to the TP2 as long as AT&T doesn't make it ugly. I held out and didn't get the Fuze because it just wasn't a good enough upgrade.

For me the going points are, 1, the screen is great, 2, the tilting screen like im familiar with, 3, the g-sensor, and 4, the 3d drivers. Plus my upgrade comes about the time this should be coming out.
[General Topics] sandandrocks:
I dont think so

I have used HTC Wizard since 2006 and that too was bought used.. not a thing went wrong all these years and only last year have gone ahead and bought HTC Touch Pro. Would have bought tytn2, but finances were not on my side.

I hope to have the same experience with this phone.

abolutely.

after playing with some of the newer phones, including the iphone, i can't stand going back to my qvga miniature screen.

for reading skyscape apps, interweb browsing, pdfs, lecture notes, and ebooks, i think that the screen alone will make change the experience from a chore to a joy.
[General Topics] mbernstein:
Just make sure you do not use or like to use hardware buttons to open or control applications (I do). The Kaiser has plenty of these buttons, and the jog wheel (almost 10 depending on how you count). Newer phones unfortunately imitate the Iphone and have very few, 3 to 5 and everything is done on the screen.
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
I don't. I have already said that my last two phones have been the Tosh G900 and now my Omnia.

I am tempted to get a Touch Pro 2 though as my contract is up and if it feels like plastic I can stick it straight on Ebay for instant profit. I'm more than happy with the Omnia, its awesome, just wish it had a hard keyboard.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
This is a new feature I am working on... and this is my first effort. To show the essential interface elements of any new ROM I post or flash to.

This link here is to Part 1 of 2 Photo Slideshows ...

... that show Microlab's new Iolite-based WM 6.1 Manila TouchFlo 2D ROM in action. There are about 88 slides total, but the max size is 50 per slideshow, thus in 2 parts. I will post Part 2 tomorrow. I'm interested in knowing if this seems helpful to people, and if so, explain please.

LINK TO WATCH PART 1 SLIDESHOW (displays at Photobucket.com)

To see this ROM RELEASE thread, go here:

One thing you might note from this photo above: I choose to place my TODAY tab all the way to the right, and in the more customary "home" position I place PROGRAMS. Since my background is usability design, this is my reason, but everyone is different, and that's what makes these newer, easily customizable interfaces finally user-friendly for mainstream:

When I turn on my phone, I usually have something to do, maybe use google maps, maybe make an audio note. I don't care if I see the large clock telling me what time it is. I can see the time in the top task bar of the PROGRAMS page... but with PROGRAMS as my "home" screen, I immediately am able to finger-tap my primary apps without first having to slide to find the tab.

Second: If I do want to go to TODAY screen, it is half-a-second away, without even looking at my phone. I just slide the bottom tab-bar all the way right. It ends on "Today" so I don't have to slow down to make sure which tab I am on. These are my personal preferences.

In this Slideshow you will see: Phone with "Slide To Unlock 2", then "Today" page of the Touchflo 2D interface. Then a survey of Programs, People, Weather, etc, and use of tools like Total Commander.

I'm going to work out a way to tag each slide with a number or name reference so discussion can be posted about the functionality or controllable elements of any object on any page shown. For now, we will be winging it on the T-Mobile WING.

I like the rom exactly as done in your slideshow but the download link you posted shows a different rom. I am confused on how to make it look like the one above!

I like how the program menu is on the above rom, pretty cool!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] progdeather:
That's a really nice looking rom. Thank you for sharing those pictures because they really give a better idea for choosing a custom rom.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
Yeah, I know... I am new to TouchFlo, but I started searching on XDA for different themes/skins, and started to apply different themes.

There is an application available here at XDA called "M2dc" -- get it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=427392 which enables people to very easily change their touchflo themes... by allowing people who know how to customize to export their themes as "m2dt" files (manila touchflo 2d THEME files).

Then: THIS THREAD has hundreds of themes you can choose from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=451702

See post #6 where they begin showing the screenshots.

====

By the time I posted this slideshow, I had been experimenting with a bunch of these themes, but I do not know if I still have an m2dt theme file for this... because then I chnaged the bottom slide bar to be blue on white, for hiugher contrast, and then I chnaged the programs boxes from dark to light, for same reasons.

I will try to find the version in the slideshow. I changed the font size and colors -- which is also something you can do very easily with M2DC customization tool.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mashman100:
Hi, i have been experiencing a screen display problem.

When i power on the Hermes the screen does not power on.

If i then place the Hermes on a hard surface and press down hard on the long sides at the edge of the screen i can make the backlight and display appears.

However, if i release this pressure the backlight remains on but the display will become scrambled. The scrambled display is variously showing white noise, scan lines, mispositioned graphics, and ultimately fading to white.

Also, if the phone rings the audio is distorted and crackling.

I have dismantled the Hermes as far as removing the housing for the LCD from the rest of the phone. I then opened up this housing and disconnected / reconnected the LCD flex cable that is by the very edge of the housing. Then reassembled phone. No improvement was made, in fact the display issue was made more tempermental!

However the phone stil works as i am using it at the moment as a 3g modem for my laptop.

But it is extremely frustrating / near impossible to use it for any other purpose in this condition!

I am wondering as to what the problem could be and how i might solve it?

I am thinking that the problem must be due to a poor connection / oxidation / dry solder somewhere.

I would appreciate advice as to what i could do to solve this issue myself.

Next steps???

>>> Would there be any use in spraying a little WD40 into cable contacts?

>>> Someone has suggested passing a heat gun over the PCB to bond any solder that may have cracked.... Although i am sure that this is a trick that can work with old PCBs that he plays around with i am not so sure that this would be such a good idea on the flimsy multi layer boards in the Hermes.

Let me know what you think of these ideas...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Oleschuldad:
white screen

Hi..not sure which version of the hermes you have, but this has been a common problem for years. My Cingular 8525 did the same thing. I finally figured out while placing the phone into a desktop charger that it was putting pressure on one lower corner of my phone and it would go white. It got to the point any pressure on it would cause the screen to fade to white. I contacted AT&T tech support about it and even though fone was out of the warranty period(over a year) they sent me a refurb ATT branded 8525 at no charge. I've had that one now close to two years with no problems.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mashman100:
Hi Oleschuldad, thanks for your reply. I have the Hermes100 branded as the "ORaNGE SPV M3100". Yes i have read that the white screen issue is a major blight for the hermes phone. From what i have read It seems that there are numerous causes and the problem can be difficult to trace to a specific component. The problem that my phone has is the opposite to the what you had with your phone. In that i must EXERT PRESSURE on the phone to be able to read the display. The indication is such that i am certain that it must be the result of either loose connection / bad solder / corrosion somewhere.

Think that i will get a can of electrical contact cleaner spray and clean the contacts on the flex cables.

Looks like corrosion is definitely an issue in my phone as there is some green oxide on the round watch type battery that sits on the main board next to the contacts for the main battery.

I will have to strip the phone down again at the weekend.

My Vista does not connect to the Diamond after it has waken up from hibernation (hibernate to disk). I always have to restart first which makes hibernation pointless. Anybody else with these issues? Any ways around?

Vista is a fresh install. Had the same issues before.

I have created several subfolders inside the programs menu (\windows\startup\programs) to have my programs organized. To open a particular program, I click on Start>Programs and then I select the corresponding folder and the program i want to launch.

The problem is when I want to navigate through those folders (i cant go back to the main programs folder): if i enter in some subfolder, when i close it everything closes and i have to click again on Start>Programs to choose another folder. And that is really annooying.

In the HTC Diamond the behaviour is as expected, but i dont know how to do it for my new Samsumg Omnia phone.

Thank you very much!
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Hi,

My recomendation would be to use QuickMenu, goto www.alensw.com and download it. Works great and you cap map it to replace ur normal start button. Rather than trying to explain why it is so much better, just try it!:D

Hope that works for you.
[General Questions and Answers] 000edu:
Thank you for your answer. I will try QuickMenu, but it seems not to be very finger friendly. Anyway it could be a solution for me.

But if anyone knows how to solve the original problem i described in post #1, please tell me :confused:

My phone briefly changed from its normal 3G to an H and then back again to 3G.

My network does not operate HSDPA enabled masts here at the moment.

Is it possible that my phone 'accidently' displayed an H symbol or more likely that Orange are in the process of upgrading their masts?

hi all can anyone make a cab file for the diamond so we can have the same type of screen rotation as the omnia? the diamonds is boring and the omnias one is way cooler. ive had the omnia and didn`t like it as the touch screen wasn`t all that but some of the features were pretty good. as soon as i got mine i got rid of those stupid widgets on the main screen as they make it look like a orange branded phone lol

cheers for any help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Chatty:
Could you elaborate on how rotation works on the Omnia?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] karaduke:
yeah in the settings you can change the way the screen rotates when you tilt the omnia and the style of the rotation hope that helps as i haven`t had a omnia for about 5 months now so not sure where in the settings this function is ......
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mmoonsamy:
i remember seeing it having some sort of animation when it rotates:o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] karaduke:

[G1 General] nassersyed:
I got mine from a US T-Mobile store WITHOUT adding the data plan, but I DID renew my contract. I got it for ~$180 (or what ever the price is)

This is how you do it:

My wife was with me, so I said it was a present for my sister-in-law and my wife said "yeah, it a birthday present for my sister". You gotta play it pretty good to get them to do it. I told him, she just wants to see how it is before she adds the data plan.

The only thing the rep said was "ohh, can you add the data plan in a week so we get credit for the sale?"

SO- if you want a G1 without the dataplan, you have to be a talker and be able to convince them to give it to you. Just say its a present and they just want to try it before they get the plan. What are they going to say?

Not only that, after I got home, I called T-Mobile, said I was going to the UK and they gave me the unlock code.

Bottomline- If you want something be confident and have a gameplan.

Hope this helps.

my friend the link I already knew about, Da_G is doing his best to get a BETA version of 6.5. I am talking about the "official" release. Which microsoft has made it official to have devices come out the end of 2009. But that doesnt mean we wont have it sooner, all we need is a leak and then DA_G wont have to work as hard ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] gloom:
I'm surprised to read

Tell me if I'm wrong but visual layers as manilla are an add-on software, not a modification of the OS. So how could microsoft no allow such UI O_o
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
That explains alot in regard to the difficulties surrounding the issues Da_G and others have had getting things to work correctly on the betas. It is not a good sign that Microsoft is taking this approach. This tells me that the issues with the ui breaking with lots of third party software are only going to get worse. I have a feeling we are going to have alot more problems with 6.5 than we would like before its all over.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] drieves1:
It saying late 2009 so that means windows mobile 7 prolly wont be out until 2011 maybe cause i doubt if they release it 2010 after releasing 6.5 late in 2009.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] matthewjayala:
Yea im cant wait for the not beat leak for 6.5 for the fuze
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] scotchua:
My guess is that they're trying to establish a more consistent appearance of the operating system for branding purpose. It's hard to say "this is what a windows phone looks like" when every manufacturer makes it look different. My guess is that 3rd party UI's will still be around though, and they're just talking about what a stock phone looks like.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hidavi:
Its not happening:

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/02/16/microsoft-announces-windows-mobile-6-5/

So it won't be leaking for the Raph. The leak will probably be a generic leak, not customized for any specific (or maybe customized for another new phone) phone so the guys here will play/work extra hard to make it work on the Raph.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
I hear what your saying and I agree with Microsofts idea to some extent. I hope your right about the UI's Scotchua.

My guess is this is why HTC's leaked roadmap shows att coming out with a new phone called the barium that is almost identical to the fuze. That will be the 6.5 variant.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aaronsmckee:
I'm kind of intrigued by 6.5 but its not a huge deal for me the news apps look cool, most of the improved functionality I can get with fingermenu and manilla, IMHO Manilla with fingermenu > then 6.5 (though if we could have all together that would be great).

in terms of processor both touch pro and touch pro 2 have same MHz (different chipset though).... only higher resolution.

And during the livecast i think steve ballmer said something about wm6.5 being available on phones in all price ranges... that could mean our touch pro will be able to do wm 6.5 as it has some horsepower underneath :)
