[Shift General] King Reeky:
The SSD was 5mm - slotted directly into the rubber shroud as a direct replacement and I paid $410 AUD delivered.

It is a lot of money for a drive smaller than the Shift came with :o But it is quicker for sure. Boot times for Windows XP Fundamentals was clocked at 17.5 seconds and Bootvis showed that it was the CPU slowing it down rather than the drive.

Re-installing OSes and doing benchmarks the drive got quite hot, so I am not really expecting any benefits with extending battery life.

I have been having some problems today trying to connect with activesync. I plug my Kaiser in via USB, it starts to connect and I get the transfer arrows (top bar) for a second then it disappears back to a 'G'. Activesync continues to try and connect and my phone just sits there. Can someone help me please?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Olotila:
I'm new to this phone (and the whole environment), and I just acquired new rom for my device.

How do I update this thingy?

Presently in boot it says:

IPL 1.12.0001

SPL 1.12. 0000

GSM 02.67.90

OS 1.12.0.0

Rom is wm5 english. New one is HTC_P3300_FIN_3.13.414.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.

How can I backup current system, in case something goes wrong?

How do I go through the update process?

If something goes wrong (say, phone does not call or something), how can I get back to the situation things worked?

I have been trying to find basic guide for this pdaphone system, but keep getting overwhelmed with information. I need some basic information how this thing works before I get enough courage to actually flash this thing.

For example, what are these:

IPL 1.12.0001

SPL 1.12. 0000

GSM 02.67.90

OS 1.12.0.0

With computers, I quite well understand bios, hardware, operating system and software. I quite fully understand how those are related. In this device, I dont. What is ROM compared to BIOS and OS?

With computers, I fully know how to backup system and how to restore it. I know how to flash bios and what to do if flashing fails. In this device, I dont.

There are plenty backupsoftware for pc but havent found a good one for this device so far. There are plenty of guides for flashing bios, but I cant find one for this device.

Is there a guide, that can help a newbie like me? In comparison, this is very good for bios flashing (not my text!): http://www.devhardware.com/c/a/Hardware-Guides/Why-and-How-to-Flash-Your-BIOS/

For example, there are basic terms explained.

Structure goes something like this:

Why and How

Understanding the Process

Precautions…

and More Precautions :)

Are there guides like that in this context? I would greatly appreciate if you could help clarify this quite interesting world of pdaphones and their upgrading!

Hi @ all

I'm using a HTC TYTN II and want to connect it to my CARPC (full working normal PC) to make phonecalls read and write SMS.

There are a few progs that work with "normal" mobile phones but not with PPCs.

It should be connectable to USB, so I can charge the accu whyle driving.

I tested a remote controller to control the PPC via touching the CARPCs 7" touchscreen, this works okay. But I need a prog that will give the sound form the PPC to the CARPC and the microphone input from the CARPC to the PPC.

My fav. would be a programm that can fully control the PPCs phone functions and but not required the sms functions.

I think you know what my problem is, and sorry for my bad english I'm from germany.

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] khortoom:
Hi all thought I would share this information... I saw posts on other HTC brand sections regarding the camera view being hazy, green-blue dots or blue snow-like...

I personally had this problem, and it turned out to be due to "overclocking" of the cpu, (in my case with Pocket hack master), so if any of you experiencing the same, try to adjust hack master so that it makes the cpu go the highest speed, but when opening "Windows\camera.exe" decrease the speed to the damn 201 Mhz (lol believe me theres no difference in quality).

That's actually not the same as a hard reset. As it's run from within windows mobile, some files tend to be left behind (files that are in use at the time, at least). Best is still to hard reset from phone start.

Hi all i am having problems with a HSDPA setup. what i am trying to acheive is to use my diamond just for MSN and internet browsing I have done this before with a three hsdpa sim card from a 3 usb modem and my TYTN II. As the phone picked up the settings and did everything for me and worked without errors. when i inserted the o2 simcard into the diamond (which i have got out of a payg huwaei e160 modem) it picked up some automatic settings for o2 but every time i try to connect it comes up with a connection error. the sim card works perfect in the modem but not in the phone. Any ideas?

got my BA flashed with WM6.0(russian firmware)...VERY stable version...but!

if i pull off battery on_the_fly, or got battery discharged then on next boot i got first two lines "R: none G: none"

the only help is reset-button. after that it boots ok with (R: 1.15....etc)

how to get rid of that minor bug?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
there is no way of getting rid of that bug, it is like the 4 colour screen. it comes with every rom here, so for soft-resetting use the proper soft-reset istead of pulling the battery off. since there is no proper airplane mode in most of these roms and the phone keeps re-enabling itself, you can use that "feature" to have the ppc working without phone functuality
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] XPbIM3:
hm...no good(

that means that everybody got this stuff(WM6.0) not working _properly_?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
well, actually it is working properly, i used to wonder about that too, but there's no point in complaining. it is just a given fact and you have to learn to live with it. little things like that are, despite the fact that the BA is huge and doesn't have much battery power, reasons, why people go off and buy new devices. also there are minor bugs in wlan and bluetooth that come with every rom here. that's the way it is, and that's the price you have to pay for upgrading your phone instead of buying a new one and i for one think, that's a rather low price ;)

to get back to the point: as i use sun_dream's finger-friendly build 20758 and have lost my stylus about a year ago, for soft-resetting i also don't use the stylus hole, but use the today screen icon that comes with xcpuscalar, which of course wouldn't work, when the device freezes, but then i simply take out the battery, start over, and when the device is ready i soft-reset from the icon. it is not the ideal way, as by that you somehow delete your wlan settings as well, but still i'm happy, my precious old BA still is up to date
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] homam_france:

every rom after WM5 in BLUE ANGEL needs soft reset after u see this case,then works normally.thnx.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] imatrix:
most times, u will need to do a soft-reset at the 1st cold boot (replace battery and so on). as Chef_Tony mentioned, we all just have to remeber do that.

**Update**

My Official fix for this issue is here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=57848

You can disregard this thread now...

****

Hey all,

OK, Like most other people using the Sprint Stock ROM on their Touch Prio and the Sprint MMS Official CAB, I was experienceing delayed sending (sometimes hours) and delayed receiving (woul dnot receive unless I physically opened the MMS app)....

However, this CAB seemned to fix it on my Sprint Touch Pro with STOCK ROM...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3281937&postcount=8

It appears to be Arcsoft MMS for another region/platform (sony Ericsson Xoeria X1). When you install it, there is no apparent app, and there are a few reg entired - that's it. Don't sweat it.

So, Install the above CAB then soft reset for good measure - then uninstall it right away. Whatever this installed, altered, and/or left behind caused my TP to send within a minute or two, and receive just fine....

(Backround info:

I installed this just thinking it was another version of arcost to try on my TP - After installation, I couldn't find anything other than a few files that it placed on my phone, and then I deleted it because I knew it wasn't like the other, functional, installs... Then BAM, perfect sprint Pic Mail 100% of the time there after....

Seems to be 100% fixed - finally!

Can you guys try this as well and report back. I want to see if this was just a fluke...

Thanks,

Matt!
[Touch Pro CDMA] temperamentalman:
Has anyone else tried this? There is an Arcsoft MMS specifically for Sprint here in the forums as well.

Mine takes forever to send too and am thinking about trying this. But the last time I changed my picturemail crap I had to spend an hour on the phone with Sprint to have them reset my PM account.
[Touch Pro CDMA] KillerQ:
Yea,

I have tried every Arcsoft release under the sun and, as many others can confirm, none work properly on the Stock Sprint ROM.

Therefore, I am using Sprints official PicMail app. The app is fine, howeve,r it tends to take hours to send and receive picture - making it pretty much useless.

The fix i discussed in the 1st post of this threas uses an arcsoft installation/uninstallation that actually fixes the sprint pic mail app.

I have already confirmed from others that this works.

I don't forsee any issues at all trying this fix - especailly due to the lack of files installed - AND the fact that it is immediately uninstalled.

Let us know,

Matt!
[Touch Pro CDMA] imtjnotu:
so wait ur going to have to explain this better.....

Do we have the Sprint Picture mail Application on still installed on our phones when we install Acrsoft? ..ur not making much sense in ur instructions
[Touch Pro CDMA] KillerQ:
Ok,

a) Make sure you have the newest version of Sprint Mail installed on your Touch Pro

b) Install the cab from my first post to your device (main memory)

c) Right after it is installed, go ahead and soft reset.

d) UNinstall the cab you just added (arcsoft)

e) Soft Reset

f) Enjoy your Sprint Pic Mail better because the lag is gone!

Make sense?

[Touch Pro CDMA] V.A.T.Juice:
I have been using arcsoft for probably 3 months and my picture mail has never been better. I have no delays with pics sending or receiving. The only problem I have now is with notifications. I found that the notifications on the actual win mobile today screen get lost behind the touchflo. It actually disables my slide out keyboard and makes the phone close to inoperable. Once I disable touchflo, clear the notifications, and reenable touchflo everything is fine.

Hello to all,

I took the plunge today and despite being very very tempted at getting myself an iphone 3g I decided to get myself a Touch HD. Been spending a few days reading about the Touch HD and it sounds great. Must say I love the look and feel of it, although it's a little on the wide side for my hand.

This is my first WinMo ever and I'm very lost at what to do. I like to tweak and around a mess with my windows installation on my pc, but I just don't know where to start with the Touch HD.

It may sound kind of stupid, but I decided that what's probably best for me is to start this thread (of course after having done a search to see that no other similar thread already exist) and to ask you guys to share some of the things that you first did to your Touch HD when you got it. ie. What are the first few things to do to improve/enhance the experience with the phone.

Thank you all in advance and looking forward to your replies.

PS. English isn't my first language so I apologize if I'm being unclear or if I'm being repetitive.

Good luck with it, and enjoy it.

As a long-term PocketBreeze user (I assume you know about Today Plugins?) I found the restriction of TF3D to be irritating. If you don't know, TF3D will not allow any other today plugins to run.

But, SecondToday is great - this gives you a second today screen on which you can run any number of plugins.

Also, for me a big help, is AEB+ for mapping buttons.

I also have lots of tweaks to the TF3D setup - see the app list in the thread above.

Got my Touch HD ~a week ago, my second Win Mo device.

First I would recommend installing a different rom, I went with Duttys 1.7 rom, my HD got a nice performance boost, the Wiki here explains how to do this.

After that I configured all the settings to my liking.

Installed all HTC Fixes.

Then I browsed the Themes and software forum for the blackstone, after awhile I have these installed on my HD:

- HD Tweak (a must have with the HD imo, customize the HD even further and access lots of other tweaks)

- Advanced Configuration Tool 3.2 (pretty much the same as above^)

- Diamond D3D driver (speed up the graphics for the HD)

- Diamond Saber (fun wnb-a-jedi lightsaber software)

- FInixNOverBatteryIcon (Replace the original battery icon with a color changing one and showing the load %)

- Gyrator 2 (rotate the screen when you rotate your HD)

- IPC Black Dialer (black phone application theme)

- IPC black Calculator (black calc theme)

- MyLostBlog MyStopWatch (great stopwatch software)

- Navigon 7 (GPS navigation)

- Tnyynt SD TuneUP (make the HD faster, can't remember how though :P )

- TouchResponse (vibrates the HD everytime you touch the screen, very useful)

- Weather Database Editor (add your own city to the weather tab)

+ some theme customization and such

Noticed also some great apps in other posts here, thanks for the tips :)

Thank you guys so much, I'm going to start working on my HD later tonight after I finish work (yeah it's a Sunday and I still have to work :mad: )

@ModernMuseum I'm from Lao PDR and I bought it here in Laos, though from the looks of it I think the phone is actually from Italy or something since the user manual is in Italian (or so it seems) and no English manual at all.

Check out the list of ROMs available if you want something other than Dutty's ROM :D. There are many to choose from. Also before you do any modifications, install HSPL or USPL if you want to do any ROM flashing, since you can flash as many times as you want, but not have more than one ROM on.

Ok so iv'e been wondering.

I like YOTA and i myself use the dialer and the contacts. What i wanna know is does anyone know if the max 4g's ROM can be used on the HD?

I mean its basicly the same phone right? and if someone could get a ROM then surely it could be modified to run on the HD? i.e putting whats makes the HD into the ROM and keeping everything else that i personally think is better (whole theme and layout and so on) onto the HD?

Ive been reading about getting the xperia camera working on the HD and other transfer stuff.

Plus people got YOTA contacts working in the first place so surely its possible?
