Killed cprog put in to airplane mode and soft reset. Any ideas cause this is a really good skin?? Maybe incorporate into the original file?? MAybe??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kidoucorp:
Hi, nope, didn't had the time to work on it since my post, I'll try re-working on it this week, but I'm very short in time theses days...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 17-apg:

Now, i know this is a vbulletin.. I used to be a Co-Admin on some Windows hacking site, but ive been dieing to know what Server the website is hosted on. Maybe a mod or an admin can give me a link to the servers homepage.. Because it is really fast and holds a lot of Threads.... My friend Needs a website where he can store his videos. Any information is great. THANKS

I just got my replacement phone and the stylus barely "clicks" into place and dosent have that "mushy" feeling as you slide it in to place, and it take nothing to jar it loose.

is there a quick fix in this situation?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] chococrazy:
Two quick fixes 1 you can put a small piece of electrical tape around it depending on how much you need you just can add or subtract or for a more permanent solution bend the stylus ever so slightly to make it fit snugly.

One fix that will cost soem money and take a bit long

Buy a thicker stylus of ebay by thicker i dont mean buy a different phone im saying buy those heavy duty ones they dont say but there fit is a little bit tighter than the normal ones. (my current stylus is a littler skinnier one with a thicker top but i can remove the black top and its a ball point pen :)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] windtrader:
I lost mine and read to avoid the cheapies, so I searched for true OEM replacements. I bought these on eBay and they work very well. There are many offered as generics or clones, only a few have the real ones. oem stylus
[Mogul, XV6800 General] GeLopez:
there's a piece of plastic that holds it in there. it sits next to the battery.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Philyteach:
Thanks, that was driving me nuts too. I just pushed on that piece a bit and now the stylus is back to being nice and secure!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Timb320:
I assume this occured after a failed sync to my exchange server.

But I have deleted and recreated Exch account info. Restored manila files from within TF3d Diamond Tweek and the icon will not come back.

I can add a generic account and of course another icon appears.

trying to use the emial repair tool does not work, well activesync account I assume is OK now that I deleted it with it and recreated it..

I searched in registry for related info but not sure where to look unless this resides in a CE database somewhare Or manila M9 file...

Any known solutions for this other then the emailaccountrepiar tool?

Thanks Much,

last time this occured I only got it back after a sprite backup restore, but trying to avoid that.

Hello,

Does anyone know a good QVGA iContact theme that is styled for Windows Mobile 6.5? The default theme doesn't really match the rest of the OS ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] m00b3rt:
anyone help out a newbie?

thanks.

-Ernest.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] DhaMajoR:
Put it in sync before you boot it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] m00b3rt:
that does not work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] DhaMajoR:
Im sorta new too... whats bootloadeR? thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Carty:
Bootloader is the Tri color screen. Wait, let me refer and tell you how to enter bootloader in Hermes.

Regards,

Carty..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] m00b3rt:
Yes, I am in that screen.

red, green, blue.

The white section says USB.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Carty:
Ok, you can access the Bootloader by pressing both the Power button and the Side Ok button together and while you have it pressed, make a soft-reset by inserting your stylus into that hole.

Regards,

Carty..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Carty:
Exactly, from that screen, connect to Desktop PC and execute the ROM Update Utility to begin flashing of the ROM.

Regards,

Carty..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] m00b3rt:
i'm trying to flash a ROM via ActiveSync, and my Phone won't sync with my computer when I am in BootLoader mode.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Carty:
You can actually flash without entering Bootloader! Have you tried that?

Remember, when you're in Bootloader screen, the phone will not sync with ActiveSync but can still be flashed if the RUU is executed. Did you try?

Regards,

Carty..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] m00b3rt:
i will try that.

will get back to you...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Carty:
One more thing, you can exit Bootloader only by flashing a ROM I guess or through a hard-reset too. If you couldn't flash from your PC, try flashing from SD Card.

Regards,

Carty..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Carty:
You actually dont need to have it synchronized. Just connect, hear that found new hardware sound, directly execute the rom update utility and it will begin flashing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] m00b3rt:
so, for the HardSPL.

i just run the RUUwraper file, and it'll work out fine?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Carty:
Yup! Try it out!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Carty:
But I guess hard SPL requires you to be in normal mode rather than bootloader! If you want to execute bootloader, try flashing the rom that you are about to use after hard spl and that should probably stop in the middle saying Invalid ID or something and your phone may return to normal mode. Then flash hard spl.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] DhaMajoR:
Thanks for telling me what bootloader is, I went through that screen but i wasnt sure what it was. Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] kulaspoint:
Once in bootloader mode, you can't connect with activesync...

to get connected with activesync the phone must be in normal mode.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] m00b3rt:
Ok, i have gotten the ActiveSync working.

But now, my new rom, the GOLDENGLOBE by Tai,

I am stuck on the Splash Screen.

(which is the first screen that comes up, in default power on)

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Laos101:
Hi everyone,

I Just joined the forums, and I'm ready to get into the real scene with PDA Smartphones.

I've been holding onto the Axim Series for A WHILE now, using a LennySH 6.1 WM Dell Axim x51v. Prior I had a x30v but both I just cannot fit into my life. I really want a data plan phone (Now that AT&T and offering the plans at JUST 35$ a month for my area) but separated from my verizon wireless phone ( I know, sounds a bit nutty but still)

Anyways, I've been wanting to get an Athena (HTC Advantage) for a while now, especially since it seems there is high support, and high available.

Since you're all the experts, I would REALLY appreciate it if these few questions could be answered.

1. How long do you usually get (in hours) on the device? Does it last you on active usage through the day?

2. As for 3G and data connectivity. Is AT&T supported in the U.S., and how are the speeds with it? Any complaints with data limitations? (Claims unlimited, but I think its otherwise)

3. Lastly, Does it do what you want well? I am looking for a pocket sized Laptop-like device with a QWERTY keyboard, Wifi, (Maybe a data plan in this case) and an excellent battery life for school.

Thanks,

Josh
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] EAlvarado:
Little Help.

Hi Laos.

I could say the following.

I have a X7501 for more that a year.

Right now I'm using WM 6.1 R0 from Michy. I changed the ROM maybe four or five times. Please read a lot before trying it. There many thread writing to help the new users.

I live in Guatemala, so I can't tell about plans of connections in USA, I can say in my country I can use it as a Phone, a web browser, a Modem for my laptop, and as a Mobile office.

I install a lot of programs to use it as an office, for example, Softmaker suit (word, excel, power point edits in the device), Flexmail as mail client, pocket plan to work in projects, Emu48G to get the HP 48GRom working in the device, Phatpad as note writer, Fring to manage my IM, Adobe Reader 2, Pocket Plus and Pocket diary. Informant 2007 to manage my appointments.

There are some other programs.

Also I use it as a video player using TCPMP

In order to introduces a lot of text I use the external keyboard, Fingertouch Pro and Write Pad with Calligrapher.

I use it all day long, for business, the battery almost last 4 hours, so I bought another one, also I have a Tekkeon External Battery pack to charge my device when I'm in a desk. It depends how much do you plan to use. I don't use paper anymore, I write in Phatpad all my notes, and use Textmaker to write documents an reports. Taking a lot of pictures. I also stay always connected reviewing two mail accounts, one in exchange server from the company I work for, and one in yahoo.

But if I just reviewing mail and some documents, the battery last all day.

I hope this help you.

I you have some other question, ask. We are here for help.

Regards.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Laos101:
Thanks for the tips!

I may be picking up a x7510 over the x7501 due to it being more recent, but I am not exactly sure on the final call, it can be up to an extra 200$ I'm not as willing to spent. I've also seen someone posting a deal selling their x7501, so that may be my solution

if anyone is in america with one of these two devices, please do give me your opinion on its usage here!

Thanks,

Josh
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] techntrek:
1. How long do you usually get (in hours) on the device? Does it last you on active usage through the day? If I leave it on but don't use it all day, after 16 hours I'll have above 80% left. If I have a few calls, and so some web surfing it might be in the 60% range. If I stream music on 3G it will go down by 50% each hour.

2. As for 3G and data connectivity. Is AT&T supported in the U.S., and how are the speeds with it? Any complaints with data limitations? (Claims unlimited, but I think its otherwise) Using radio 1.58 (not 1.57 or below, they are all much slower), I get around 800-900 kbps on 3G with HSDPA. I've gotten a top reading around 1200 kbps. Using 1.57 and earlier those readings were half that. My plan is unlimited but I've never gotten above the 5 GB limit other plans have so I've never tested the waters. Its my only data connection at home (I use wmwifirouter version 0.91 to share my connection via wifi) and on the road and I stream music often so its pretty hard to use that much data, for me at least.

3. Lastly, Does it do what you want well? I am looking for a pocket sized Laptop-like device with a QWERTY keyboard, Wifi, (Maybe a data plan in this case) and an excellent battery life for school. Love it. I wouldn't want to use it for daily note taking in a class, but I do use it for occasional meeting notes at work.
[G1 Apps and Games] UnkzDomain:
Yeah. The title pretty much explains the situation in the ****ing "open" market. T-Mo decided to use its muscle to remove all apps that let people tether.

Yay open-ness. Seriously. What the hell.
[G1 Apps and Games] jaboswell:
Atleast I still got mine...Ive only had my G1 for a month, its rooted, and ive only used about 400mb (tracking from netsentry) this month using tmobile data.

I like being able to tether, that sucks they removed them..guess people will have to find them online...
[G1 Apps and Games] insanemonkey:
sorry but you are wrong, i still see wifi tether for root on the market. sorry but you are wrong there are still tether apps out there, maybe search or update your handset :)

i have tether still
[G1 Apps and Games] blackknightavalon:
I still have the android.tether.apk file on my computer. I can reinstall anytime.
[G1 Apps and Games] SRT102JZ:
I noticed today also that all tethering apps have been removed. Why is this? Glad I already have "wife tether for root users" installed.
[G1 Apps and Games] herbjr:
Not to be the noob here...but what is tethering?
[G1 Apps and Games] jaboswell:
I also do not see any tethering apps.....
[G1 Apps and Games] andonnguyen:
Yes, looks like the tether apps were removed.

Here is a screenshot for aNetshare:
[G1 Apps and Games] giantcrazy:
Sucks that T-Mo exerted their muscle, but I understand Google's position.

They didn't rip existing installs from devices, and they're not running around threatening to sue people for making the apps available elsewhere. With XDA we'll still be able to get apps like this anytime we want, and even better expert reviews of how well/poorly they work.
[G1 Apps and Games] geek78:
you can find some of them here slideme.org
[G1 Apps and Games] savethechicken:
They were removed from the market for a reason. Tmo doesn't want ppl leeching off a newly implement 3g network and causing problem for everyone else. You will use more bandwidth on a computer then through your phone, messing up other peoples experience. This is most likely the reason for the removal. It is an open source device that has the source available to anyone that wants to use it. But if it a service that is not offered by tmo and people are doing it anyway they are going to have it pulled. That is why you root your phone and then you can still use it. Tmo unlike att doesn't charge you and extra $10 or $20 (not sure of the price) to tether devices on there network. It just at this point is not a feature through tmo. It may be right now it is not. Remember it is a new network the 3g is and they are going to want to make sure it is working correctly for everyone. I guarantee that if they could be limited to only using 2g/edge to connect while tethering, it would not be a problem. You can't please everyone, some want consistent wireless service and don't want their rates to go up, some want tether and don't to be bothered to have pay for there own internet for the computer or use a wifi hotspot to connect.

The Irony of this was I was coming to xda to get the updated version of wifi tether. But you can't be mad at tmobile for stopping customer from breaking the rules as it is in your ToS that it is not intended for this purpose. Tmo does a lot of things for its customers as a courtesy and doesn't charge for them like other providers do.

thanks for the heads up, i just coppied anetshare to my SD :D
[G1 Apps and Games] tubaking182:
I had just performed a wipe when I saw that wifi tether was gone, however it was still in "my downloads"
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
This effing blows. So much for an open market. If this is how the market is gonna work then it's no better than Apple's app store. I don't care that I can get the apps from other sources, it's a matter of principle.

And the "T-Mo doesn't want people to leech off of their 3G network" excuse does not hold up either because far from all Android devices are running on a T-Mo network. My carrier does not give a damn if I tether or not. I have my 20 gigs of HSDPA per month to whatever I like with and when those 20 gigs are up I get 200 kbit/s unlimited to do whatever I like with. Android is supposed to be independent, not some effing playground where the big carriers can flex their muscles and make the Android experience ****tier for the rest of us. If T-Mo wants to block tethering apps, let them, but don't f-ing block them for all of us, Google.

Do no evil, huh?
[G1 Apps and Games] Burko:
I signed up for Web n Walk Max....

http://lastmile.t-mobile.co.uk/data...t_category_id=&product_manufacturer_id=#link6

Being able to tether is part of the T&C. Thats the whole point of getting the "Max" rather than just Web n Walk or Web n Walk Plus......
[G1 Apps and Games] speoples20:
T-mobile USA doesn't have control over the market. They can ask Google to remove something but doesn't mean its going to happen.
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Seems like Google did just that, which makes them the bad guys here.

Do no evil, my ass.
[G1 Apps and Games] uberingram:
Why would Google go out of their way to jeopardize a very good financial partnership with the only current carrier to offer their OS? I'm not saying I agree with them but it's best to understand both parties motives.
[G1 Apps and Games] giuocop:
They didn't pull it because they were worried about 3g being affected by the computers if that was the case they wouldn't be selling the 3g data card.
[G1 Apps and Games] uberingram:
That's exactly why they pulled it (and other reasons) so they can CHARGE for PC cellular data connections. Dur. Plus the G1 plan has a much higher data cap than the 3G stick plan. If they didn't care then people would be buying G1's for the same price in droves over the 3G stick. It's called marketing strategy. They are protecting the financial gains brought on by each product.
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
It's a sound thing for them to do, both financially and market wise, no doubt. I don't dispute that. But it's still wrong. It's sound for an insurance company to try to fight every claim to save money, even though innocent people get screwed over, but it's still wrong.
[G1 Apps and Games] ArronL:
There are things called rules and a TOS, which you must agree to before uploading an application to the Google's Android Market. Tethering is a clear violation of the TOS, which states:

Developers should not upload or otherwise make available applications or any other materials that:

1) harm user devices or personal data.

2) create unpredictable network usage that has an adverse impact on a user's service charges or an Authorized Carrier's network.

3) knowingly violate an Authorized Carrier's terms of service for allowed usage.

4) create a spammy user experience, whether by posting repetitive content or misleading information about an application's purpose.

If you don't abide to these rules, don't upload there. Go upload somewhere else. At least we have an alternative mean to install apps or buy apps. Everything on the iphone must go through the Iphone App store.

People who complain about this should just proceed and complain about having to drive with a speed limit..
[G1 Apps and Games] Binary100100:
No real suprise. Since the new 3G USB device came out for the incredibly low price of just $50 you would think that it would be ideal for anyone that wants to put their laptop online while they are about. But here it is realistically...

The G1 costs what... $150? Plus unlimited(?) data $30.

The Huawei E181 modem is $50. Data is $60 with a 5gb limit.

Sounds like a no brainer to me. Of course they were pulled! I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did. And if this rooting app is every perfected, I don't think it'll last long on the market either. For obvious reasons.
[G1 Apps and Games] Phromik:
Yeah, it sucks, but you know that's not going to stop us so easily :P

Link to the wifi tether app, if you don't have it. ;)

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
[G1 Apps and Games] Untouchab1e:
Not all tethering apps have been removed though. As far as I know, its only Wifi Tether for Root users that has been pulled. aNetShare and Tether wifi is still available on the paid market (at least it was yesterday)
[G1 Apps and Games] tubaking182:
seems like i can still get updates to wifi tether for root if i go to "my downloads" but the app can't be found on the market for me
[G1 Apps and Games] savethechicken:
I was referring to those on the tmo network. My fault I was not too clear it was early and shouldn't post when tired. I dont believe that Google should take away from those that are not on Tmo. The only problem is that there is not a way to block apps to specific carriers. So from what I can tell is that google pulled it as a CYA type thing. There needs to be a better way to get this accomplished, this feels the same as blocking all protected/paid apps from dev phones on the market. If they could do that they should have a way block it to all Tmo customers. You would think.
[G1 Apps and Games] FuMMoD:
I just downloaded an update for Wifi Tether less than 15 minutes ago, April 2nd 6:00 am gmt -5

Read the source for more details: http://www.falsedichotomies.org/node/74
[G1 Apps and Games] ICBM:
Just as an FYI, T-mobile has already put a 5GB soft cap on the G1 data plan. It's pretty easy to find interviews/news releases confirming this if you just google it. Honestly though, 5 GB is more than enough for everybody I know. I've never gone much over 500 MB, same for anybody I know with the phone.
[G1 Apps and Games] jaboswell:
I have searched everywhere since I got Tether on my phone in early March..never found anything except everyone talking about the 1GB cap being removed....

today I found this dated back to December 2008.... http://gizmodo.com/5100910/t+mobile-monthly-soft-data-caps-will-return

FROM ARTICLE: (Excerpt only) :

The good: The new cap is 10GB, a fairly reasonably amount for mobile data (really, that's like over 300MB a day). After you hit 10GB, your connection will be throttled down to 50kbps, just like T-Mobile's original cap plan. The bad: It will cover every phone, including the SideKick. Worse for SideKick users, their monthly data is going up to match the G1's. The supposed T-Mobile employee revealing this info also mentions "$34.99 for all you can eat (cough 10GB cap)" though it's not quite clear what he's referring to specifically.

OK read the TOS USA Site...

http://www.t-mobile.com/Templates/Popup.aspx?PAsset=Ftr_Ftr_TermsAndConditions

2. Protective Measures

To provide a good experience for the majority of our customers and minimize capacity issues and degradation in network performance, we may take measures including temporarily reducing data throughput for a subset of customers who use a disproportionate amount of bandwidth; if your total usage exceeds 10GB (amount is subject to change; please periodically check T-Mobile.com for updates) during a billing cycle, we may reduce your data speed for the remainder of that billing cycle. We may also suspend, terminate, or restrict your data session, Plan, or service if you use your Data Plan in a manner that interferes with other customers’ service, our ability to allocate network capacity among customers, or that otherwise may degrade service quality for other customers.

SO can I assume that if i dont go over 10gb a month (which I probably wont) my account wont get flagged for abuse from using tethering...how could they tell you were using tethering?
[G1 Apps and Games] wm1:
It kills me

I could tether with my dash, then I got the G1 and had to pay 5 dollars more for internet. What exactly am I paying extra for? My area has no 3g coverage just like the rest of the country. I was told by a CS Rep (I know...knowledge is limited there) when I first got the G1 that the phone didn't support tethering. I knew this was BS, but just said fine. I think it is bull that they are trying to stop this feature. I used about 700MB last billing cycle with tethering...I don't use it very often, but it's nice to fall back on.
[G1 Apps and Games] neoobs:
The 5 dollar extra issue is now moot. All current data plans are now the same as the G1 $25
