After looking around for many weeks, this is easily the best deal I could find anywhere... and you can also add on the 500MB of internet access a month for £5. Unfortunately you have to deal with phones4u...

http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_contract_details.asp?ItemKey=233801&MPItemKey=250428&NetKey=4

It works out at £25 a month, with the phone free (+ you get the 8GB memory card)
[Touch HD General] modernlife:
I got the phone last week on t-mobile from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk. It's £35 a month on an 18 month contract with 700 mins, unlimited text, unlimited data and the phone for free.
[Touch HD General] cupcake:
AND! Mobilephonesdirect.co.uk supply the phone already unlocked and unbranded!
[Touch HD General] treehack:
AND, it also arrives the next day, unlike some suppliers:D
[Touch HD General] meddleuk:
Just had a look at http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/Brands/HTC/b509/n447/p3185.aspx

I am currently with T-Mobile on a Flext contract paying £25 per month which includes unlimited web browsing. My contract is up in 2 weeks and I currently have an Omnia but was thinking of going for the HD and maybe sell it on if I didn't think it was any better.

I am a bit confused, T-Mobile don't have the Touch HD on their own website (they only have the Diamond & Touch Pro). How does it work that another website can sell phones using their contracts.

If I bought from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk could I just do an upgrade through them rather than T-Mobile. The Combi 30 offer looks nice (£35 incl web browsing) however it asks you to phone 0845 470 4000 for latest Upgrade price. Is this liable to cost me more or less and if so what is the reason?

If an upgrade price costs more, what options do I have. Ideally I'd like to stay with T-Mobile but I will go to another network if the price is right. Ideally I want to pay as little as possible for the phone but require unlimited data/web browsing.

Please help
[Touch HD General] Step666:
T-Mobile don't have the Touch HD on their website because Orange have the network-exclusive supply deal with HTC for the UK.

However, that doesn't mean that the HD is incompatible with T-Mobile, so third-party suppliers such as Phones4U, CPW or the sites linked-to in this thread are able to sell the phones on whatever contract they want, so long as they can agree a price with the network.
[Touch HD General] fdrzrich:
Cheers, was looking to buy this on O2 as I thought that was the best deal...currently using Kaiser on T-Mobile and my 18 month contract is up. Just bought a spanking new Touch HD from http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/...447/p3185.aspx thanks!!!
[Touch HD General] O and O:
I really wanted the HD on T-Mobile too, so I got a Vario 4 (Touch Pro) and sold it on eBay for £450, used the money to buy a HD and now I'm happily using it on T-Mobile.
[Touch HD General] itschemistry:
but does T-Mobile not restrict you so that you cannot use your phone as a modem , cannot use skype and cannot use IM (msn yahoo gtalk etc)

i just read it here http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/uk/fairuse/#Combiwebnwalk

"You'll need a compatible phone and internet coverage. Remember that you can only use web'n'walk in the UK and you can't use your phone as a modem or use web'n'walk for peer to peer file sharing, instant messaging (except if you have a Sidekick) or making internet phone calls." Tmobile website
[Touch HD General] fdrzrich:
Not really...I've used as a modem now and again, used MSN and now I've got Android on my Kaiser, I've tried Meebo too. Connected to Skype too, not actually tried a call yet. Never had a warning or anything either. Guess if you were abusing the amount of data then maybe they could tell?
[Touch HD General] O and O:
I use my HD as a modem with web'n'walk basic, works well no problem. You can try using MSN I'm testing it out now and it seems to be working dispite T-Mobile stopping it when used as a modem or when used on other phones.
[Touch HD General] naturbo2000:
Best deal I could find was the mobilephonesdirect one. Only problem I've had with T-mobile is that their web proxy blocks some ports (like the one I'm using for webguide from my HTPC). Easily solved by removing the use of the proxy altogether.

For information: The proxy settings are under "Settings" -> "Connections" tab -> "Connections" -> "T-Mobile Internet", "Manage existing connections" -> "Proxy Settings" tab. Untick the option "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet".

I'd guess that not going via the proxy may increase overall data usage, but my first bill hasn't shown any anomalies.
[Touch HD General] fdrzrich:
I've been doing this for the last 18 months on my TYTN II, as I had some connection issues, but never had any problems once removing the proxy.
[Touch HD General] fdrzrich:
I ordered yesterday morning, and it got delivered this morning at 9am! Excellent service especially on Saturday! Just that I was at f'ing work all day and now I can't get it till Monday now!! Arrggh!
[Touch HD General] Step666:
If you read the terms and conditions of any of the web bundles offered by any of the networks, none of them include tethering usage.

True enough, a lot of people get away with it but if they work out that's what you're doing, they will charge you.

T-Mobile and Three also offer tethering bolt-ons which are specifically for using the phone as a modem.

As far as I know, with any of the other networks, your only option is to buy a separate USB modem/dongle.
[Touch HD General] danum:
Check out Expansys. If you dont see the plan you want just give them a call. Paid £334 for my HD sim free in December on TMobile Combi 15 +W&W. Tariff comes in at about £22 per month.

Obviously the lower the tariff the higher the cost of the handset.
[Touch HD General] danum:
Not quite, the literature says they will not charge but will restrict their service until you upgrade or reduce traffic. But if you take it easy you should be OK. For TMobile an extra £5 permits tethering an increases the allowance to 3GB.
[Touch HD General] gromitt:
I got mine on an Orange contract, via Lingsmobiles don;t forget free internet with a 10gb allowance (worth a tenner a month)
[Touch GSM General] kkrraazzyy:
heyy members can anybody tell me upto how the memory of elfin can be expand like up to 8gb ,16gb or upto 32 gb
[Touch GSM General] Guestk0024:
If you mean the internal memory of the Elf, like how much it holds without an expansion card, then to upgrade it to any of the capacities you've listed is out of the question.

I'm not sure, but the Elf/Elfin can only support up to 128mb, and that's in more 'advanced' models. Mine supports 64mb storage space, that's it.

If you want to "expand" it, I suggest getting an miniSD card and tweaking your Elf so it can support them (not sure if it's done natively, you'll have to have a root around here. Mine did straight out of the box, but it was second hand). I have a 4GB miniSD in it right now and am currently considering swapping that for an 8GB as I have so much music and films micro-smalled onto it!!!!

Best of luck, post back if you need any help/advise.
[Touch GSM General] Lokosis:
It can support up to a 32 GB MicroSD Card
[Touch GSM General] kkrraazzyy:
thanks lokosis and frank
[Touch GSM General] DroidDotBot:
4GB sd (mc) Sandisk, works fine

4GB micro-sd

Sandisk, works fine, on brand new Orange (WHITE) htc touch - no messin' / O.O.T.B. (out of the box), except the hidden flap on the side / remove battery cover (up), and inserting fingernail, each end, and "read the manual":D - " ' htc = innovate' " ??????wth

Just dissmayed - :mad: (B A don't seem to have separate "touch screen/digitizer, under all the gold foil on rear!"!!!!!)

If Any Seniors/Veterans Would, Choose the "ramdisk / non-ramdisk - U.G. of ROM" - for the future?:confused:

[Touch GSM General] phuKKah:
I don't know about the internals of it, but if there's an extra memory installation spot, you could install more if you can find the modules.

I've done this with my Xbox (back in my modding days) and went from 64 to 128 Mbytes of ram.

But then again, it's ONLY if there's an extra slot.
[Touch GSM General] cris_rowlands:
as far as memory cards go, it supports up to 32GB, but it would sometime struggle with 8GB. Im using a 4GB card, which works fine, but i wouldnt advise going over 8 if your thinking of getting a micro SD card for it.
[Touch GSM General] Guestk0024:
When you say struggle, what do you mean exactly? It slows down or doesn't work altogether or what?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
This is a little thing which has been bugging me for a while.

When using People tab in TF3D and clicking All People you are presented with your list of contacts starting at A.

If I click on T for example and then click on a wrong contact by accident, 'Terry' for example, and click on Back I am taken to the start of the alphabet again.

Is there a way to set contacts up so when you click back you remain at the position you where at in the alphabet??

I know this is a little thing, but it would be nice either way
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] DarkAvenger:
Hi folks,

Yesterday i saw something pull away on my diamond's top right corner of navi keycap. :(

I don't use screen protector in that area.

The question is what is exactly? Please check the photo

1. Is this factory default protector? (If it is can I remove all??)

2. Is this a multitouch surface? (If it is can I fix with glue? What type a glue need to use?)

thank you for your help.

EDIT:

Yes It was factory default protector. It can be removed. I removed already but some glues left on it. but I hope it can be cleanable. Thank you skalunek and blacriderv.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] skalunek:
It looks like factory anti scratch protection foil. You can remove it freely. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] blacriderv:
I got the same, it is just a film protector. You can remove it, but the pastic under the cover can be easily scratched, like mine now...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] DarkAvenger:
but it has some glue, and not a soft material its also not so flexible like screen protector. I have some suspections..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Qtek8020:
Wrong post - removed
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Bigmick777:
I have removed this plastic / protector myself and am now looking to replace.

Any ideas where I can source one from. Have found hundreds of screen protectors but not the hardware keypad one.

Thx. Mick
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] kwambewright:
bse sreen protector

try best skins ever. they have one that covers jusy about every area on the diamond. i use one and it works pretty well. great actually!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] ElCondor:
Thank you! I had exactly the same problem! Now I'm going to buy the ZAGG invisbleShield, just take a look at their youtube videos but it's awesome stuff!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wiseguy-bike:
Hallo,

I used MichyPrimas WM 6.1 ROM for my Athena. I blocked my cam with the following steps:

- I run the Cam

- I changed the Cam Modes (normal photo, video, mms video, ...)

- I got the Message: "Nacht Neonlicht" (I changed the Language to german!)

Now I cant use the cam anymore :-(

Every button is blocked now. I only can hard reset my device to use the cam again.

Does anybody know how to fix this problem, when I do it in the future again?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] wiseguy-bike:
Maybe this error is not "reproduceable"... But I now solved that problem: That was because the images from that borders were deleted... so there was no border.
[HTC Vox] Yules:
I have do a search but after reading dozens of post related with bluetooth I cannot find something about this:

When I connect my Bluetooth Stereo Handsfree it links to the phone with the handsfree profile but not as Bluetooth Stereo. To do this I must to go to the Configuration/Bluetooth/Bluetooth, select the device and in the Menu choose Wireless Stereo.

There is any way for configure the link as bluetooth stereo as default or to do this on a more direct way?

Thanks for reading this and sorry for my english. :)

[Shift Development] PlayStation:
Is it possible to have data connection (vista) and sync at the same time? I have been using GPS with Google Earth using Fransons GPSGate. Problem is whenever I establish sync between winmo and vista for the purposes of gps accessibility vista side, the data connection is immediately lost. Of course Google Earth requires active internet connection. Question is; is there some kind of configuration i can do to have both data and sync running at the same time? For now I am using a Nokia phone + Nokia PC Suite to get internet while shift is in sync mode which kind of defeats the purpose of having dedicated data line. Thx
[Shift Development] FaRiS261:
Dear! we've discussed ways to use GPS in both sides Here hope it helps you ;)
[Shift Development] PlayStation:
Sure I have read that thread. But the thread is basically about Garmin. Here I am asking about Google Earth that requires internet connection. Or to put it more precisely I was asking whether one can use 3G and sync vista side at the same time. However further search has confirmed that it is problematic using USBTool and 3G from winmo side concurrently as both use the same channel...... :(
[Shift Development] FaRiS261:
I wish if I can help you buddy. I'm sorry :(
[Touch CDMA Accessories] the-wrangler:
hey everyone...just wondering if anyone has found a car transmitter that plugs into the cigarette lighter? i know theyre out there for ipods and mp3 players...just curious
[Touch CDMA Accessories] hotrod101:
The Motorola t505 is a bluetooth handsfree for car with built in FM Transmitter - has internal battery which lasts really long time - I use mine daily and only charge once per week. I just discovered after it died on me in the car (forgot to charge it) that I can plug it in using cigarete lighter power cord which it came with that it works while plugged in also. Great little device, very clear audio and when calls come in the music pauses and call comes though car speakers.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] the-wrangler:
thanks kindly...i did search but a little too broadly...narrowed it and that one got gret reviews...im getting my hands on one to try...thanks again
[Touch CDMA General] iExhaled:
Special Thanks To DHarvey & btxakita....

Catch The Original Thread Here... Main Posting

From the Rhodium ROM dump....

"...This is

NOW

release quality software!! This may look like fingermenu but it is actually created by HTC and is smoother, faster, and nicer looking than fingermenu..." -DHarvey

I Second That Statement...

NOTES:

1.) You

MUST

have a 21000 OR HIGHER build on your device in order for this menu extension to work.

DO NOT

attempt to install this on any older builds because it won't work.

2.) jlavoie tested this on his device with beta WM6.5 build 21159 and reports that this does not work with for him. This MAY, or MAY NOT work with WM6.5. If you install it and it works, AWESOME!! If not, sorry maybe next time.

Screen Shot Of DHarvey's VGA Port:

Thanks To Efforts From Sheennick123456:

OKAY - MOD TO QVGA ?????

So, Finally This Is My First Contribution To The Community....:D

I Have An HTC Touch/Vogue Running NFSFAN's WM 6.1 Sprint 1.09 Rom (Build 21014)...

I Had To Edit The "HTCMenus.bmp" File As There Was Problems Displaying Correctly On QVGA Devices... I Had To Get Rid Of The Top And Bottom Of The Menu Showing Nothing But Garbage...

In The Beginning, The End Result Was A Square Menu In The Middle Still Maintaining The Scrolling Functionality...

Because I Like How Much Faster And Smoother This Is Than Finger Menu...

I Will Be Continuing To Modify This File To Get To The Full Desired Effect For QVGA Devices...

This Is Just A Quick Fix For Now... 90%:cool:

**********************************************************************************

EDIT: Done 99.98%:) Still Need To Tiddy Up Some Edges;) So Stay Tuned...

Instructions:

1.) Download And Install The Cab From Below

2.) BackUp/Rename/Delete "HTCMenus.bmp" In Your /Windows/ Folder

3.)

Replace

It With My Modified Copy Of "HTCMenus.bmp" Found In The Zip Below

4.) Soft Reset

5.) Done...

Remember:

You must have a 21000 OR HIGHER build on your device in order for this menu extension to work. Do not attempt to install this on any older builds because it won't work.

You May Also Notice That My Font Is Smaller Than The First Port Image Too, You Can Modify This Via Your Registry....

>> HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCMenus/FontSize <<

I Set Mines To 12 (0x00000c), 26 Is Default, However 20 Is Optimal Until I Figure Out How To Lift The Character Wrapping Length

********************************************************************************

Note: You May Loose Scrolling Ability If You Just Overwrite/Replace The File... To Get It Back, You Need To Do A Soft Reset

********************************************************************************

[Touch CDMA General] natefish:
Brilliant work. Very nice. I do have one question: I didn't have an HTCMenus.bmp file in my Windows folder or a folder called Folder. Should I be worried? I am using the exact same ROM (NFS's) as you. Thanks.

Edit: It's working fine, but there are vertical black and white lines above and below when I use it in some apps. Perhaps this is the 0.02% you mentioned? (lol) If you have not seen this, let me know and I will add a screenshot.
[Touch CDMA General] iExhaled:
Nahh Bro, Thats What Happens In The Beginning... You Still Gotta Copy Over My Modified .bmp, Then It Should Look Exactly Like My Screenshots... Do This Right Now:

1.) Download The .Zip

2.) Extract The "HTCMenus.bmp" File

3.) Copy It To Your Windows Folder Overwriting What Is Currently There (Using Total Commander/Reco Ect....)

4.) Soft Reset

hi all!

my first ppc was a htc touch and it was quite easy to "browse" through the files of other mobilephones.

but at the xperia the ftp-protokoll and the bluetooth explorer are missing.

i tried several versions from the forum but there was always the same problem:

1) the switch for bluetooth explorer in the bluetoothoptions always changes to off

2) the explorer isn't starting...

i hope someone could give me a link for a working be.

Yours sincerely mooks

I have been reading on wiki about the changes in ce5 to ce6.

what i want to know is what differences will these changes have on what wm7 will be able to do (what wm6 cant)?

many delevlopers can make the phone do lots of different stuff, but what cant be developed on wm6 that will be able to be made for wm7 (ce6)?
[General Topics] Rudegar:
you should prob be more spc about what you mean by

"but what cant be developed on wm6 that will be able to be made for wm7 (ce6)?"

because the time-machine software will still be impossible ;)
