[General Questions and Answers] amelsfort:
Is anyone already succeeded in retrieving deleted contacts from a WM6.5-device? I read a lot of topics on this forum and the rest of the Internet, but I can't find anyone who was able to get the contacts from the pim.vol-file.

I tried the Perl-script posted here once, but that resulted in just one readable contact. The rest is in the file: I can find some names using Notepad.
[General Questions and Answers] davey1980:
hmmm i dont have a clue. all i can say is

1-ur service provider will store PAYG names dialed upto 30days and contract names dialed upto 1yr.

2-anything deleted from the sim card is not kept by service provider (new sim wont hold other sim contacts even if same number)

but am interested to see if u can find deleted cntacts from device :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] amelsfort:
I know I can find some deleted contacts on my device: a lot of them are still in the pim.vol-file in the root of my device. But I can't find any program which can access that file.
[General Questions and Answers] the-equinoxe:
maybe you can modify the pim-manager to do the work for you.

Also pim fiiles are documented in the msdn (on microsoft.com) maybe you can write a script to gather the deleted files.

Ok, first of all I started the thread here as I am not aware where it would belong, I am fresh in here :).

I received my PDA last month as a gift, it was probably purchased in Kuwait.

It has WM6, the version is JPHE2.

My main concerns:

Downloading my @hotmail e-mails automatically connects using Data plan, I need to use WiFi.

MSN Messenger causes GPRS to connect, too. I want to use WiFi.

Most importantly, I am willing to upgrade to WM6.1, I need the official ROM without any modifications if anyone can guide me through.

I have tried using samsungmobile.com but the version is "invalid" according to them, and the MEA regional website has only one software upgrade and it does not relate to my PDA.

I am aware these questions were probably asked by several posters before me but I did not seem to find the answers.

Thank you for your time reading, and hopefully answering!
[General Questions and Answers] -[r]-:
I am most interested in upgrading to WM6.1, even if not Arabic (not JP).

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] -[r]-:
Is it that hard?

I am considering entering a "customized" device version for UK and get its upgrade. What do you think?
[General Questions and Answers] redjge:
if you really want to upgrade to a non arabic version of WM 6 try entering this "DXHL2" on samsung site. be sure to install the drivers

once you downloaded the update file. you need to extract the contents to a folder. you also need a hex editor to modify the updater.

it is the largest file on the extracted files. you need to look for a value "DX" on the near end of the file and replace it with "JP"

So you can proceed with the update..

good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] -[r]-:
What's the country?

A link to a hex editor, please.

And what are the risks? Can I still restore to factory settings for example? I am worried it might lock out or something.

Same Issue

I have the same issue here.

I have a Samsung (Bought in Kuwait) which holds the JPHE2 version.

I wonder if the solution posted above (upgrading to DXHL2) worked out for you??!??!?!??!!

Would it be ok to do that??? Would it mess up the cell phone or did it work just fine???

[General Questions and Answers] myyhaze:
hi,

My fren have i780 with PDA+phone version JPHE2.

i try the above method and downloaded DXIB1 which is my phone version. using the Hxd to edit the hex, i able to update teh eboot and PDA to DXIB1 but the phone cannot be updated to DXIB1. currently the phone is working fine using WM6.1

my question is

1. is it OK if the phone and PDA version is diffrent.

2. anyway to update the phone part to DXIB1. if it is OK when can i find the phone only rom so i can update it using mirage.

TQ
[General Questions and Answers] sumoking:
I recommend you customized rom, because it's faster than official rom.
[General Questions and Answers] josefaquinojr:
the HexEditor approach did not work for me.

My i780 PDA and PHONE version is JPHE2

what did work for me was this:

Follow heineken78's instructions from

no.2 onwards

I use ironeagle's ROM

Mirage application will say "Launch Failed" but its ok if the phone boots up. If you look up at the version, it will say PDA version is DXIB1, PHONE version remains JPHE2.

Other than the period (dot) key being misplaced on the KB layout, everything seems to work fine (WIFI, SMS). I haven't tested Calls yet but i guess they're ok too.

Big thanks to ironeagle and heineken78.

Hi, My old Li-Ion battery was starting to losing its charge very fast, so I decided to buy a new battery. I replaced it with a Lithium Polymer battery. Seems to work fine, but....

In the Power settings, it still identifies the battery as a Li-Ion one. How do I tell it that it's now a Li-Pol battery? I tried to search and search, but couldn't find anything.

TIA
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Korpse:
Read where is says LiPo on the battery itself.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Monaro427:
Not quite sure what you are trying to get at. Do you mean that a Lithium Polymer battery is actually a Lithium Ion Polymer battery? The battery actually only says Li-POL and nothing else.

Does that mean it always says Li-Ion, even if it's a Lithium Ion Polymer battery?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stevenh78:
Hi, I've updated my XIP and bootloader for my Samsung i900 to use bootloader and nk.exe of i908 to fix some Bluetooth issues. However since doing this, the preconfiguration doesn't seem to run after hard reset anymore?

Normally with the i900/i908 ROMs, after hard reset it prints a message saying preconfiguration complete and device needs to reset but this does not happen anymore.

For the i900 ROMs there is a separate section called customer.csc which is usually flashed, I'm not sure if this is similar to what you guys call extended rom or not but it contains additional settings and programs which seem to be copied to the device after boot, this does not happen either. I think it is probably to do with the preconfiguration not running properly...

Do you guys have any idea how to fix this? What program should be called to initiate these actions? I see in my OEMApp directory there is a precfg.exe but it is just binary files in there and no preconfig.txt anywhere....

Thanks

I have seen a lot of really nice themes here, the only problem is that they are nearly all for RC33. i am from the UK so use RC9. I know you cant just use the RC33 themes on the RC9 firmware

So, i am wondering how hard it would be to have an application that would convert the RC33 theme into a RC9 theme. Am i right in thinking that you are just replacing some images in packages? Can you have a them package that will inject into a RC9 template?(or is not as simple as that?)

Really enoyed that i cant get a theme that i like
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] dadennis:
that would be a really great thing, I'm from Germany and so i'm also using the RC9 (because Germand lng-file included) and I found so many great themes (especially the Comp-themes) but i can't use one of them ....
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
Such an app would be great, no doubt. The folder structure in RC9 differs from that of ADP1,1H and RC33 for some reason though, so anyone trying to create a converter would have to take that into account.

Also, the sizes of the PNG's are of great importance too as the system memory/space very limited. An advanced theme with complex graphics that just barely makes it past the boot screens in RC33 might not make it in ADP or RC9, or vice versa. The different regional images are not identical in that respect, so that will have to be taken into account too.

Though all in all it's definitely doable, for someone with the necessary know-how.

Hello,

I have problem,

My MDA was shuting down about 40 / 50 % of power left !.

So i'm so stupid to get idea " help discharge battery manual to 0 % ".

I get light bulb, connect wires and wait about 15 minutes until light went down.

When light goes down, fast connect pda to charger (i don't want to destroy battery Li don't want to be discharged for long time).

But, it don't want to charge it... it's blinking red led about 30 minutes, and wont power on...

Grrrr

I'm so stupid to kill this battery ?

Do you have any idea ?

regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
1.- Buy another battery

2.- READ here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UniversalSmallBattery and here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UniversalBatteryIssue

Good luck,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] phezthie:
it appears that your battery can no longer hold enough power (ampacity) to sustain the needs of the unit, the reason why it shuts down although the power level shows that 40% or more was remaining. in short, it is no longer in its optimum state.

i made such conclusion as this was confirmed when you said that you drained it manually but your charger can no longer drive it back to normal charging state (just red led blinking). this happens when one of the cells of your battery, if not all, is in near open state and the current (A-amperes) can no longer normally pass through it due to large resistance (ohms), hence, not charging at all.

if you want to revive the battery, nonetheless, i would suggest to intermittently charge it manually using a more powerful charger, that is, the same voltage (V) but more power (VA-VoltAmpere) or ampere rating (take note, i strongly advise not to do the charging conventionally through the unit, it would certainly destroy the power circuit or the unit itself) until such time that it can be charged by the usual wall charger. Likewise, extra caution must be taken since prolonged charging using a more powerful charger may lead to battery explosion, thou i'm bit sure its not in such magnitude to kill :D :D. just joking..

seriously, even assuming you can drive it back, your battery will be most likely in the same state as it was before although there were rare occasions that boost-charging may revive the cells and will thereafter perform normally (fingers crossed), otherwise, sad to say you have to replace the battery with a new one to have a working uni once more :) hope this would help, regards..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] seba22:
Hi,

Thank you for reply.

What i do ?

I have problem with my computer, so i shut it down, and go in to bios.

I leave my PDA pluged in.

After 30 minutes, i started linux, and then i saw red led don't blinking !

I press power, and it's started ;>

I charged to 100 %, then discharge and charge again.

Now it's shuting down on 20 % !!

Previously it's going down about 50 %/ 60 %.

Now 20 %

I wan't to thow this battery to trash but now it's alive... i'm realy happy... :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] phezthie:
that calls for celebration.. cheers :D:D:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SOG:
Actually we should never ever discharge lithium battery unless you have voltage meters and know what you are doing, if A (that is one with ONE Cell) lithium battery's voltage gets lower than 3.6V it already started to damage the chemical make up of the battery and cases the battery's size to reduce greatly

And fast charging actually reduces the battery life, because the fast charging generate heat, and the heat will create gas inside the sealed battery and causes the battery to expend, and it changes the pressure of the chemical make up inside the battery and will greatly reduces the current and size of the battery... that is why sometimes you can see the lithium battery actually expend when you View it from the side....

I had maybe over 100 lithium battery from all the phones, and the electronic powered helicopter I have.... so I would say I know it pretty well :D

Hey,

Is anyone in the UK seeing any paid apps at the moment? I believe we're due to start seeing them again
[G1 Apps and Games] Nik_Doof:
Tomorrow, accordingly:

http://www.pocketgamer.biz/r/PG.Biz/Android/news.asp?c=12039
[G1 Apps and Games] danchappers:
cool thanks for that :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Burko:
Paid apps are live for UK users.
[G1 Apps and Games] AleksN:
I can also confirm this. Although all the prices are in dollars....
[G1 Apps and Games] Psychedelic-Squid:
Not all, a few (example: Meteor Brick Breaker) are in pounds.
[G1 Apps and Games] spiderbites:
Just had a quick look and the paid apps have hit the UK 12:22am

I didnt think the paid apps would be available for rooted phones?
[G1 Apps and Games] Psychedelic-Squid:
They are, AFAIK you only need to be running RC9, it doesn't matter whether it's OTA RC9 or JesusFreke's version.

I can definitely see them, and I'm on a rooted phone.
[G1 Apps and Games] Giganticube:
Awesome, the paid apps just popped up for me today - I thought I had lost that chance, being rooted and all. I was quite suprised they were all in dollars - thought it may have had something to do with the Latitude activation app.

Just bought a couple of apps, Im a happy guy - I was concerned the only way to get them on my rooted phone would have been to pirate them!?
[G1 Apps and Games] Fneb:
I checked a couple of minutes after midnight (randomly, didn't realise they were coming) on my rooted phone and they were there! I thought all was good. However, with a Maestro card (a fairly popular card in the UK), I can only buy apps priced in GBP and not USD. Which means my selection is severely limited at the moment. Any one else having such problems or is it just me? It's rather annoying! Either Maestro users will be able to buy apps priced in dollars (the preferrable option) or, more likely I think, people will put prices in GBP but not fairly convert the prices, meaning we'll end up paying more.

spiderbites, they don't allow (some?) paid apps on the ADP firmware because, by default, you can access the files and make copies of them. Rooted RC9/RC33 phones are not affected as they are hacked versions of a locked down firmware.
[G1 Apps and Games] Karolis:
How did you manage to use Maestro? It did not accept my HSBC Maestro card as technically Google Checkout only works with Visa, Mastercard, American Express and one other (can't remember).
[G1 Apps and Games] Fneb:
Go to the Google Checkout page on the internet and add your card details through there, rather than adding a new card through the Android Market itself. If you (only) use a Maestro card, though, you'll only be able to buy applications priced in pounds - if you try to buy something priced in dollars, it'll say you don't have a valid credit card and ask you to put one in.

Still, at least I've been able to buy the London tube map app.
[G1 Apps and Games] Karolis:
Thanks for the tip! I think it is stupid that they don't simply convert the prices into quids.
[G1 Apps and Games] Psychedelic-Squid:
Yep, Maestro here too, and I can only get the £ apps.

As far as I am aware, it is up to the developers to use their Android Market account to add areas/countries that can buy their app, and set the prices accordingly. (if anyone knows better, feel free to correct me). Unfortunately, many of them seem happy to just leave their apps US-only even though the UK market is now open. Or, it might be that they're unaware that this is possible.

Of course, it would be a lot easier if Google would modify the system to allow purchases of $ apps at current (at the time of purchase) exchange rates. Perhaps it's worth us UK users starting a petition for this.

Your thoughts?
[Touch HD General] -PiLoT-:
I just thought id warn user of oranges in the UK

after sedning back my scratched HD and receiveng replacement

ive found out the orange variated rom they gave me

1.19.61.1 with operator modification has been replaced with 1.14.xx.x

but with no cudtomisation

this is just a warning. i dont know if it nationwaide im just hoping i can get a newer rom without the orange branding lol

IT WIKI TIME!!!!!
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Interesting, thanks for the heads up!!;)
[Touch HD General] -PiLoT-:
no problem now i face an issue

it seems the latest europr rom is still 1.14

the only 1.19 is the orange uk shipped which was what i had

two reason i want to not flash this

1. htc's 2nd splashscreen is a lot better looking that the orange uk one

2, orange remove goole maps and then advertise there own orange maps which is a payable subription thing
[Touch HD General] zoomee:
thanks for the info mate,

I've waiting on orange replacing mine today (they've got 35minutes left to meeting the deadline for 1PM!)

Doesnt bother me much though - standard rom was rubbish compared to Duttys stuff ;)
[Touch HD General] -PiLoT-:
can you tell me where bout you are in uk and then when you get it what rom its got?
[Touch HD General] zoomee:
just got mine - its got the 1.09.25.14 radio and 1.14 ROM same as what I got back in November when I originally bought it
[Touch HD General] -PiLoT-:
is that a HTC rom when you boot it is the animated splash screen the orange swishes or the animated HTC logo

are you gonna reflash

im thinking i want a later version but i can only find the 1.19 Orange UK rom

is the a HTC 1.19
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
If you don't like the orange splashscreen, copy it and then put it into your new ROM once flashed

Duttys V2.1 ROM has google maps preinstalled and if a ROM doesn't you can always install it yourself.

I wouldn't let those 2 minor reasons be the reason why you don't flash to a superior ROM
[Touch HD General] -PiLoT-:
no its not those im just not a fan of branded roms

especially has htc releases roms 6 months faster then the vener versions
[Touch HD General] zoomee:
hell no!!!!! I know what you mean about that stupid orange flash thingy!

My original one I bought back in December had the 1.14 ROM on it but none of this crap! Original one came with google maps installed, this one doesn't. This new one also has some stupid PV Player on it.

Just FYI - This new one has the following stuff:

ROM 1.19.61.1 WWE (previous rom was earlier)

Radio 1.09.25.14 (same as previous radio)

ROM Date 11/25/08 (obviously newer ROM date)

I'm sure the ROM I had before was early november so this is a new ROM, Loads of people have discussed it on this forum before jayjay so don't worry Basically the older ROM isn't Orange customised - The new ROM is - I aint worried though cus I'm gunna flash it when I get home - muhahahah.

Dutty's ROM's for the win for sure.:D

Been using Dutty's ROM's from 1.7 onwards - If you want a 100% performance and stability ROM go for Dutty's 1.7. If your after the newer Manilla (like I am) go for Duttys 2.1 (2.2 due out very soon!)

hope this helps mate.
[Touch HD General] -PiLoT-:
it does also i basically wont use touchflo, i like it but itd only be used for showing

are you saying that the duttys 1.7 is the last touchflo based stable rom any after that is manilla 2

also wasnt there a time limit

i also was asking about dutty 2.1 being incomptible

so its either duttys 2.1 or orange 1.19

what d u reckon

its a shame there is nonew 1.19 HTC (if there is i cant find it)
