"long battery life - i guess more than half a day then... maybe 1 day?"

In good conditions it will run as short as Diamond. I can use device without hardware keys, shiny device... but less then one day on battery is really problem. IMHO. Still it's impressive device.

why does this site only support htc devices?
[General Topics] orb3000:
"Welcome to XDA-Developers.com

Welcome to xda-developers.com

This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.

Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.

We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community."

There you have why

An extract by JimmyMcGee Mod

"People People People! I believe all phones are created equal. But I believe this is the HTC forum, and always should be.

When I had my blackberry, the dark days as I called them, I was a member of crackberry.com

When I upgraded to the Tilt, I didn't ask crackberry.com to change their segregation. I search for a new forum and Found XDA.

Secondly, I guess you don't understand the back end of things. XDA with all the current HTC only devices It crippling numerous servers. Flar is adding another!

If we add non-HTC devices, what do you think will happen to our servers? They will be crushed. And anytime you came to visit your wonderful forum you will see..

This is why I always have, and always will, campaign against adding non-HTC devices.

~Jimmy"
[General Topics] ZenithUK:
I have had an XDA for the better part of 5-6 years and a Mio GPS PDA before that, so I'm very familiar with WM. Okay, so the forum is called XDA-Developers but I take it to be a general WM dev forum.

TG01 sucks...
[General Topics] stefn22:
WOW, thank you for this amazing contribution... though i dont understand why I am still a junior member, when you are a member............................

anyway, on fact that this site should be solely dedicated to HTC devices, I understand the point of not having loads of devices.

2 comments though:

1. what is HTC contribution to the site?

2. WM is open OS

too bad tg01 can't be part of it, or the Omnia (no actually this device is crap)... what I am trying to say is that there are not like 200 WM devices released each year, and some of them should be worth having a space here. Especially because having a WM device, HTC or not, this is the place I will go to find answers to all my existential WM questions... I am not a developer so I wont be contributing much (and credit crunch makes my wallet quite empty)

but hey, maybe Tosh will give away samples to some developers, like Google did with the G1, so that may help.... I am an optimist too...

worst case, we will be able to use some of the tips of the next 4.1" WVGA HTC using the 8250 :)

>>>>>>>>>>>>> now, some news on TG01:

- it does not do video call, but who cares?

- it reads divx and has youtube integrated (anyone: is it a dedicated youtube client or comes with the player?)

- it plays 3d games (i saw asphalt 4 on some sites but it was vga not wvga)

- it's got uim (client??)

- the code name is Tsunagi (courtesy of http://www.expansion.com/2009/02/03/empresas/telecomunicaciones/1233682932.html) I bet you didnt know that unless you're spanish

shall i launch a petition to have tg01 listed here? jokin....

But isnt that why we have the fabulous people here at xda-devs, to unlock the hardware potential with cooked roms and such? :D

As far as xda, i too, thought it was also a WinMo development site, and not an HTC exclusive dev site. *shug* Im still up in the air tho on what device i want. For a while i wanted the Touch HD, but now that Newegg has discontinued it, finding one will be difficult. Plus with these 1gig processors coming out, im not sure i want to go with the HD anymore as it will be instantly obsolete (i know, this is the case with ALL tech, but going from 528mhz to 1000mhz is a huge jump instead of the 75mhz jump that the last thrust was)

Looking at the (bad) pictures of the Thoth, my only complaint is that its too square.. not a fan of the non-rounded off edges.

Touch HD, TG01, Thoth. :confused::confused::confused: just dono.

[edit] scratch the Thoth.. It seems like its a tablet pc and not an actual smartphone according to This article. If this is the case, ill keep trying for the HD

Pocket PC Hardware

04/15/2009, 07:00 PM GMT by Nurhisham Hussein

"Yet released Toshiba TG01 and proprietary information in accordance with the Techblog, the Toshiba is expected to present two models of the TG series in 2009. The reason for Toshiba TG02 and Toshiba TG03 with touch screen 4.1-inch WVGA and analysis processor 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8 × 50. The TG02 has a 3,2 Megapixel camera and is waterproof (!), While the TG03 has 5 Megapixel camera and 5.1-channel sound."

"The only thing I can say is...wow. I'm speechless. Apart from the L01 (which incidentally may run on a fuel-cell battery), all the others are the type of large screen, full featured devices that I've always envisaged as the perfect one for me. I'm further intrigued by the launch windows, which possibly intersects with that of WM7 - that makes the K01 MID doubly interesting with its capacitive screen."

TomTom On Toshiba TGO1

Has anyone else got TomTom working on the TGO1 yet.

I tried that 'gpsgate' software but cant seem to configure it right although I have tried almost all of the various options for set up.

But does the TGO1 have to be unlocked before the Orange UK software will allow TomTom to work?

If so does anyone know where I can get unlock software for it?

Cheers!
[General Topics] tleaf100:
toshiba

had my tgo1 for two days,and am almost sure its going back to orange.

having read around

,it would seem that rom development for these is going to be very difficult,

they use other method of flashing/upgradeing image,and that even if toshiba or orange etc do release a 6.5 rom it will still be a pig of a phone to work on.

got my kaiser running tpc elite 8 6.5 rom,briliant.

you can see the grunt that the snapdragon cpu gives at times,but at others its worse than my kaiser when fresh from orange uk,infamous for bu**ering decent phones,although often helped by htc themselves.

same old clunky sticky desktop and home screens !! its like going through a time warp for 18 months !

my wants are simple,i want a 4 + inch screen(getting old !!)

1 ghz + cpu and preferably a 500 + mhz gpu

hd video camera and full 1080 playback

video calling

qwerty same as kaiser

gps ,wifi etc

and winmo 6.5

what we need is a hybrid between tgo1 and omnia hd,which would be a niceish phone if it was winmo.rumours about this "new" phone and then that one and then another,will some git just get on and build (and release) a decent powerhouse phone than can do everything i ask of it without freezing,chugging or needing resetting (still have to do daily with kaiser)

i dont wear armani suits and i dont care if phone takes up a big pockets ,get jackets with big pockets and i only have 6 and one half inch hands and have no prob with tgo1 size wise nor my mrs.

anyone tried escumm on tgo1 yet ?

Hi all,

I just bought a TOSHIBA TG01 UK-ORANGE, unlocked with a genuine unlocking code and managed to install TT7 but does not see the internal GPS. it return always the following message "your device will be restarted to complete GPS configuration" and when you reboot does it again and again! DAMN IT!

By googling around i found out that with a non free software called GPS GATE (Fransom Software ) the TG01 will work with tom tom 7.

I installed gps gate 2.5 and i got the same error message after 20-30 seconds.

Has anyone managed to install it? can he/she reply with versions and settings better with screenshoots or even better a quick tutorial please.

TomTom7 on Toshiba TG01 WinMo phone

Hi guys...

I'm from north Italy and have a TG01, unbranded for Toshiba Italy "strange" commercial behaviour. :confused:

It's a strange commercial story, 'cause has started with an exclusive distributor (a big italian electronic store) and no TLC carrier branding.

Prices started from 569 euros at the launch of up to 270 that I paid. :rolleyes:

There is no reason, except wrong market decisions, giving italian people an odd impression regarding this amazing phone and his "wacky" commercial story, boosted by the decision not to sell more by the official distributor. :mad:

Apart from these b******ts, it's a GREAT (I mean...;-D) but lightweight and powerful WinMo 6.5 phone and, except shorty battery power, it's amazing at all. At micro USB port (the new charge and connection GSM phone standard port) you can connect almost anything USB devices. ;)

With an USB notebook four ports hub I connected, one after one, these stuffs:

- a stereo headset

- two 16 GB pendrive

- a keyboard (try the "F" keys with and type some letters directly... :eek:)

- an external 320 GB 2.5" (selfpowered) HD

- and, last but don't least, my beloved G7 2.4 GHz Cordless Logitech mouse...! :D

Anything runs smoothly together as a little brand new netbook running XP Vista or Seven. :p :eek: :p :eek: :p :eek:

Now, I wanna give a trick to make TT7 running on TG01 GPS module.

Run the TT7 install (uninstall the faulty one before!) with phone module OFF or better, without any phone SIM inserted.

Try it... it works to me. ;)

Now I look around the forum to pick up some tips, tricks, apps (or games for my son's TG01) appreciating this huge forum.

All the best and bye bye to all.

P.S.: Apologizing for my raw english... would be interesting for me knowing info about TG01 commercial "news" news that you hear around... My email is revealed also.

OK , it's sorta 3 questions
[XPERIA X1 General] kareeem:
Choosing that will show all the files cooked in the ROM rather than hiding them so that the Windows folder will load faster.

Resco is capable of overwriting ROM files and the regular one can't.

OK ... I'll look into the resco thing.

to.

Thanks for the info about the difference, altho I'm a little vague about cook ing anything.

I do see that that folder takes a long time to display.

Is that a 'selection' in the resco explorer ? If so I'll see it when I install it ?

A registry entry ?

A system setting ?
