Hi Guys

Recently took delivery of 2nd user TMobile MDA Vario II with WM5

Tricolour screen showed

Herm300

IPL-1.01

Herm 300

SPL-1.04

Following advice posted here I Downloaded and Installed HardSPL . Following this the Tricolour screen shows

Herm300

IPL-1.04

Herm300

SPL-2.10 Olipro

When I try and install a WM6 ROM via the appropriate RUUWrapper I get the following error message when I select the Autodetect button

Error,Unknown version,You should pick SSPL

Any advice greatly appreciated

Thanks

ROM has to be a Hermes ROM.

Would also suggest using the sd card method if you get no love from the PC.

1. Format sd card (2Gb or less) FAT32.

2. Copy .nbh file of the rom you want onto sd card and rename to hermimg.nbh .Insert back into Hermes.

3 Put Hermes into bootloader - hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus, hold ALL buttons in until you get to ttri-colour screen. If you have done everything right, follow the prompts.

Hermes ROM's always have .nbh files as the rom, if you have ANY other type then its not a Hermes rom and Hard SPL shouldn't let you install.

Cheers...:D

Hey,

I have a problem with my motorola s9 bluetooth headset, i cant use it

with coreplayer. It automaticly changes to the build in player.

Maybe you guys know how to change this!

Greetz,

Maarten
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GLOC:
Yep, thats a problem!

The only software (AFAIK) that will recognise the button selections from a bluetooth stereo headset are PocketPlayer through the use of a plugin or WMP.

Everything else routes to the default player which is a bit of a pain in the a**e really :(

Regards

i have CORE and S9s and they work fine. Trick is to turn on and pair the S9s BEFORE running COREPLAYER. then Core sees them just fine.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] riz157:
It works fine if you do this.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] NightWing91:
well if I pair my s9 before running core then the buttons wont work with cory only with the built in player, but! I does transfer the sound so that is 1 thing that works :D Thanx
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] danum:
Same here, the buttons on the right ear only work with WMP. Left ear volume and call buttons work fine. Not a big deal for me.

Unfortunately it's $60 including postage to the UK so I've not bought. If anyone takes the plunge please report back!

EDIT: If anyone knows of a reliable capacity tester please post.

Cheers

AFAIK this is the only real battery delivering more power in standard size, I'm also thinking of buying it, it's not cheap but there's a lot cheap solution here promising more mAh and delivering less in real
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] amigggooo:
I got this one:

http://shop.eten.hu/mugen-power-100...tc-touch-diamond-p3700-p-489.html?language=en

Already using it for 3 months and it's perfect. Only €23.15 and free shipping
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] oscahie:
If you run the battery app from the HTC debug tools, does it really appear as 1000mAh there?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] amigggooo:
Thanx for pointing me to a good tool. Unfortunately HTC debug tool reports

FULL (mAH) - 900. Also notices that main battery ID field is 0.0
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] oscahie:
As expected then... another fake labeled 1000mAh battery :(

Thanks for checking it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] ziffos:
The seidioonline product linked in post one above is excellent although as is already stated - its expensive!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Srem:
thanks for testing...have put a warning in thread title
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
I think it reports incorrectly the battery size...

I don't think the software reports the correct mAh size of the battery, I tried it with my 2000mAh battery and it still reports it as 900mAh, so I don't think it can be trusted. And don't say that my battery has a fake label too, it lasts me 4-6 days...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Srem:
hmm interesting, we need to find a reliable battery tester
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
I wonder if anyone got anything else other than 900 mAh when testing any Diamond battery, maybe someone with a 1340mAh battery might want to give it a try? I have four batteries, I will give them all a try, 1 is the original 900mAh, 2 is a 1000mAh, 3 is a 1800mAh and 4 is a 2000mAh battery. I'll try them all, see if any of them displays a different result.

Edit: tested all 4 batteries, with the same result: 900mAh!!! Which is simply impossible.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] oscahie:
Hmmm that's interesting... do you have by any chance a multimeter to measure the current of the battery in the old school way? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] ffejeroni:
Any news on this? Mine is performing horribly. Thanks for all the studying!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] *chung*:
I'm tempted by this...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ECELL-HIGH-CA...es?hash=item200314533549&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14

Anyone had any experience with it / this lot?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] joebedingfield:
Dont! - I ordered one and received a standard 900mah one. If its too late you will have to complain to Paypal to get a refund..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] *chung*:
Cheers mate :)

Guess, I'll have to hunt around for the cheapest official battery - it seems to be the one with the least "extra" on the back
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Srem:
wondering if anyones found a reliable capacity checker yet?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] zoltar99:
I will try that, although I'm not sure how reliable my multimeter is...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] oscahie:
A word of caution here, you can not measure the capacity of the battery by plugging it directly to the multimeter, that would cause a short circuit and probably damage it. You need to have some device in between the circuit that puts a constant load on it over time. Is not trivial I'm afraid... anyway a simple search in Google (ie. "how to measure mAh") should provide more detailed instructions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] black3188:
I have been trying to make my own theme for the past 48hrs with no success, and it's really frustrating me :confused: I started with manila editor which gave me an error everytime i tried to replace one of the manila files with multiple icons i downloaded. I then ran into another editor cfc which has allowed me to at least change the icons but i still really dont understand some of the icons that are included with manila (totally different story)...Back to my issues I would like to know if someone can guide me on making my theme into a .theme file extension because i like to use diamond config tool it just makes everything so much easier. Also i've seen where a cab file will not uninstall and i dont want to have to hard reset just to change my theme.

Also I would love to know how to create my own clock because i'm trying to cook this whole allen iverson theme and i think maybe a custom clock best suits the theme i'm going for so i would probably need to learn how to make the clocks also.

I know it sounds like alot but i really need to get this started so any and all help, tips, tricks would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] showaco:
I think to make a theme into .theme format, just zip all your files and then rename the extention from .zip to .theme. If you take all your manila files from standard tf3d from your phone and save to pc, then you will always have a backup to install instead of a hard reset when you have cab install troubles. That way you can overwrite any files cab installed. To create your own clock, when you look in editor you will see a tab stack and a tab single for clock backgrounds, alarm, and am/pm. Tab stack is the back background and tab single is the front background(clock background is two layers for flip effect). If you want to change digits, you will see the digits grouped , like 012, 345, 678, 9. Change images in your favorite image editor(like photoshop or gimp). For actually changing images/manila files, I use all three editors available depending on what I'm doing. There's Manila Editor, Chainfire's CFC GUI, and 6Fg8's M9Editor. Always keep a backup copy of any files you change, just in case:cool:

1. Unroll a goodly amount of toilet tissue.

2. Wrap the aforementioned tissue liberally around your Dash.

3. Hold the Dash in your LEFT hand.

4. Reach behind yourself with your left hand and remove the fecal matter from your rear.

5. Repeat until the tissue is clean(ish). :)

6. If the tissue does not come out clean(ish) try a hard reset.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CRIZZLE:
Hey guys , I went into my registry with Total Commander and my phone got a little click happy and renamed a folder in my HKLM, problem is I don't know what the folder was called! , now when my phone starts up it can't ifnd MSPOUTLOOK or MSCPROG , so i'm wondering if someone can give me a list of all the folders they have in HKLM so I can see which folder i'm missing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] fhsieh:
MSPOUTLOOK and MSCPROG are defined in the following key:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CRIZZLE:
that's what I thought , it shows I have a Software folder in there already though , did the OS automatically create the folder again once it was renamed do you think? would i be safe deleting the current Software folder and renaming the other folder to Software?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CRIZZLE:
so I went ahead and deleted it and it just regenerated itself again, how am I going to get rid of it to rename the original Software file back to how it should be.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CRIZZLE:
copying all the data from the folder that was accidentally renamed into the new folder , this should work... i hope...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CRIZZLE:
it worked thank christ

[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Hi,

SPB won the Sony Ericsson panel competition with its SPB Traveller panel. For more information: http://xperiancer.blogspot.com/2009/02/xperia-panels-competition-comes-to-end.html

Best Regards.

Salman Khalid.
[XPERIA X1 General] mkouk:
I have the SPB Traveler and i see no panel, am i missing something?:mad:

oh and where is the GPS-enabled functionality!? there is no such thing!
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
The recently created it. But i couldn't find any mention of it on their site either! It definitely must exist, as it just won the competition... :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Nimche:
This is crazy. I am tired of SE to act like a child on producing stuff. Look where apple is and where we are.

SPB Panel is the best panel? and probably the prize to create a panel was $100? SE is not doing well with producing gadgets and programs, etc....

This is the website incase anyone wants to take a look:
[XPERIA X1 General] Dandie:
Well, they sold the phone and everything that comes now is free addon. Comparing them with apple is childish.

You have no clue with software development. Saying that developing an application like SPB Traveller costs 100$ is ridiculous.
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
I think he was talking about the prize money... not the development costs. :)
[XPERIA X1 General] mkouk:
I am bitterly disappointed on the results of this so-called competition. Clearly, SE has not pushed hard for the development of new panels!

Naturally companies would stick to what they know already, i.e. development of Windows Mobile applications that could work on a broad range of devices and not concentrate resources on a proprietary concept that would bring them limited income to their business. SE should step throw some money in or else I see no further development of panels.
[XPERIA X1 General] jezusrvd:
if ya ask me

im disapointed in the list of companys that entered, while the actual company are good, the number it way too low:(

like i posted on thier site, (wether they allow my coment is up to them), i would have liked to see upwards of 20.

sony penals: ither sony spends money on some more penals (even if they have to make em) or sony spends money designing a way to make penal development easyer.

:rolleyes: maybe im a bit quixotic wit my x1..
[XPERIA X1 General] Ganondolf:
i have this program but not as a panel, the program is very good and i think they have just converted it to run as a panel
[XPERIA X1 General] Dandie:
Uuuups, prize, not price, my english. Sorry for being a stupid ***hole :(
[XPERIA X1 General] Nimche:
I was just saying that it sucks where you don't have much options. We have lots of people develope bunch of cool stuff here in this forum while SE is doing nothing to keep anyone happy. Look when the X1 came out and when it was suppose to be out.

SPB is great but price for one app is really up in sky $30 for an app.? That is ridiculous.

BTW, I was comparing Apple with SE as far as developments and making people to group together and help everyone to create more apps. Its not childish but is the reality which is hard to accept.

Life goes on...
[XPERIA X1 General] Nimche:
Just got this emial for whoever intersted for the Panel $30

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/traveler/xperiapanel.html
[XPERIA X1 General] ZenithUK:
I'm a bit disappointed tbh. I expected it to be more homebrew developers, not corporate development. Everything seemed to point towards the "lone coder in their bedroom" being rewarded for their good ideas, not companies extending applications they already had in development.
[XPERIA X1 General] dogans:
The nominees (select XPERIA Panels):

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/contentawards/nominees/p_nominees2008.jsp

lame.
[XPERIA X1 General] fuzzmo:
$30 for a panel? They're having a laugh! I don't expect the Panels to be absolutely fully functional programs (although that does appear to be) but paying that much for a Panel is laughable.

As has been pointed out I think we all expected the talented code monkeys out there in their bedrooms to bring out some cool and quirky Panels - not corporates just trying to buy a bit of advertising (and being rewarded for it).

I love my phone but I did expect Panels to be more of a useful thing than it has turned out to be - hell I can't even remember the last time I changed Panels!
[XPERIA X1 General] jas0607:
Well the panel competition seems to have ended up being a little embarrassing, at least in my opinion. The fact that they are only showing us 5 nominees, and that the 5th one in the list appears to be not much more than a network and region specific panel with some links to paid services leads me to think that the response to the competition was poor, and that they possibly did not get much more than this in the way of stable competition entries, which is a shame.

And I also feel the Apple app store comparisons are acceptable. If Sony had a good few free panels, with more useful and powerful ones at around $5/£5 I'd be quite willing to purchase some. I very much doubt I will be paying the $30 for the SPB Traveller though, despite it looking pretty good.

Lets be honest, the panels concept isn't actually that revolutionary - just a nicer front-end/gui for what would normally be standard Windows Mobile apps, so I don't think it should be too difficult for Sony to encourage partners, other companies, and even their in-house depts to develop some nice panels that would really set the device apart and encourage device take-up. I think they have to show some commitment to it (the concept) for others to jump on board - foster a community and give assurances that panels are here to stay in some form or another, and that spending time and money developing them will not go to waste as the next Xperia will continue to feature panels for example.

Disappointed.
[XPERIA X1 General] LP400:
I couldn't agree more. Countless Apps was actually the thing that convinced my brother to buy his iPhone, so it's not like a fovour by Sony for their customers (that'd be nice though) - they'd do themselves a favour. Not only would it make the current owners happier and more satisfied with their X1 experience but also bring new buyers interested in the original and appealing content.
[XPERIA X1 General] Kolda.o:
where i find evernote panel ?? i use and find only app
[XPERIA X1 General] cursor:
well, it's actually not a panel, but a full program with the option to set as a panel to ease access.actually looks and works really well; being the same with the weather app.
[XPERIA X1 General] Nimche:
Well, It is actually a Panel. If you download the file into your PC and then have it install on your phone it will show up as a panel but it is useless for me.

I would have bought it for $1.99.

You don't want to pay for somthing you can find it on internet for free.

SE competition sucked, really bad!

Phonebook

Voxmobili - Onmobile

Contacts are among the most important data on your phone. Phonebook gives them the place they deserve on your G1 phone.

Phonebook comes with a new user interface, a landscape view, a dialer and an activity log which centralizes calls and messages.

Your contacts stay on your phone, they are not sent to any remote servers.

Check it out in the market it looks good

more updates will be coming :D
[G1 Apps and Games] savethechicken:
The only thing that I wish it had was the ability to view all display groups. All you have to choose from is all or contacts with numbers. I would like to have MyContacts in the list, but other than that it is a slick app.
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
I actually almost love Phonebook... but it's SO FREAKING SLOW. Omg. I love that you can show contact images in the list, but my jebus, it takes like 5 minutes for my contacts to finish listing, and the scrolling is horrid if you have a lot of contacts. (I guess my 60 contacts are a lot for this app...)

I have it installed though, just so I'll know if it (ever) gets an update.
[G1 Apps and Games] uberingram:
The exact same reason I uninstalled it. :(
[G1 Apps and Games] pixel-painter:
Yup...was really slow... BUT it seems like the new update has addressed the speed issue somewhat. I haven't used it much since the update, but it did crash once.
[G1 Apps and Games] marioiscoool:
seems to work fine, is ther away to go straight into 'phonebook' by pressing the green button? or does that go to g1 phonebook no matter wat.
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
One thing that I didn't like was that it seemed like it didn't share information with the stock contact list. I recall adding photos and updating numbers and e-mail addresses in it and it wasn't synced with my gmail contacts. Screw that, that's a big reason why I have a freakin' google phone. :)

Can anyone confirm or refute this?
[G1 Apps and Games] marioiscoool:
did u add/edit after you u installed phonebook? when i installed phonebook it automatically synced all my contacts/pictures/information to phonebook.

i still have no idea how to set it as the default phonebook.. help
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
But make changes in phonebook and see if they get synced anywhere else..
[G1 Apps and Games] marioiscoool:
yes it works.

i edited a contact in each phonebook, and the other phonebook synced.
[G1 Apps and Games] gPhunk:
Great App! Very slick interface but having the ability to sort through your various Google groups would be killer! I have over 1000 work contacts which gets in the way when I am trying to quickly look up a friend's number. I know it's free and I am VERY grateful :D, just thought I would give some constructive feedback! Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] fastwanabe:
anybody how to make this the default so that when I press the call button PHONEBOOK APP pops up and not G1 phonebook?

[G1 Apps and Games] mygti02:
i have been using it for a while now....when it origionally launched it was very choppy and kept it installed so i knew when it was updated.....now the new version is awesome....cant wait for some grouping features and the ability to make this my default PB :) hurry hurry LOL
[G1 Apps and Games] johnnylicious:
i think this phonebook app drains battery alot.
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Not available in my market, either because I'm using an ADP1 phone or because I'm in the wrong region/country. To be honest this crap is starting to piss me off. Every passing week I find that more and more apps, including free ones, are unavailable to me for God knows what reason. Even Apple's walled garden approach is better than this seemingly arbitrary crap. *sigh*
