Thanks for all the replies.

Using a SMS gateway is abhorent and well worth avoiding.

Thank you Joinc for the warning and afflaq for telling me how to do it. I probably won't bother setting it up, but it could be amusing to try.

I suppose if I want to be using these protocalls then I'm going to have to download third party apps for each. I wonder if a) they work nicely and b) tie in nicely to contacts.

gTalk in the browser chaims that I can contact people with AIM accounts -I might have a play with this and see if it will work on the phone.

Thanks to all for your help -as a long term lurker, I'm really impressed by the friendly and helpful replies to my first post :D
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] seebasso:
Hi

I replaced my P3300's screen a while ago because it was cracked. Everything seemed to go OK and the phone worked fine for a few days.

I don't know if this is related or not (maybe I messed the antenna up during the process, but since it worked for a while afterward I'd guess not...?)

Anyway, for the last couple of days I've had no network reception whatsoever.

The last time I remember it working was in the evening a few days ago. I fell asleep with the WIFI on and woke up with the phone dead. I turned it on and it didn't ask me for my PIN like it usually does, and it couldn't find my GSM network. It's been like that since.

When I press the green "dial" button nothing happens. When I go into settings > telephone, it asks me for my PIN and I can then access the options but it doesn't find any networks when I search.

Now every time I turn it off and back on, it never asks for my PIN.

I've tried removing the battery and the sim card but that hasn't helped.

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] seebasso:
Meh. On a possibly maybe related note, I've just realised my PocketCM Contacts hangs when I try to launch it. Could it be a loose sim card connection causing both these problems? Although I'm pretty sure all my contacts are on the phone and not the sim card, and the sim looks fine and is placed properly...

edit - just been into programmes > sim manager (not sure that's what it is in english, my phone is french) and I get a "sim busy" error message (again, not sure if that's exactly what it is in english...). Hmmmmm
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] seebasso:
Well it gets even weirder... It seems I can receive and send text messages!

I've been getting texts from my operator saying I have new voice messages (which I obviously can't listen to) and I've also had texts from a friend and been able to reply to them and they've been received. Even though the icon at the top still has an exclamation mark so supposedly no network.

My iGo GPS also doesn't seem to work anymore (it hangs during initialisation process) although Tomtom works fine.

Someone please tell me they have an idea what could be going on! This is doing my head in :(
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] sualc:
Dam, you have all my solidarity man!

Are you using radio 3.39.90 by chance? Even if not I would still flash another radio.I also suggest to check that your device was correctly reassembled if you have any doubt about it.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tubaking182:
either fastboot or terminal

fastboot recovery recovery.img

or in terminal

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

cat recovery > /system/recovery.img

if those don't work then oh well there's nothing wrong with 1.42
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1doobie:
when i did that in terminal emulator it says "cannot create /system/recovery.img: read-only file system

i need to be able to get 1.43 to work so i can get hero up and running

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Harrson:
Okay, so I finally did it. This evening after work I took my phone (Att Tilt), some torx drivers, some tiny philips and sat down at my desk. With a beer in hand, my phone in pieces, and the front camera from a kaiser on the desk in front of me, I made awesome happen.

Now, the fact that I was three or four beers deep by the time I finished probably contributed to the hairline crack in my case near the new camera, but that's nothing some superglue won't fix. At any rate, my Att Tilt now has a front camera, and it was auto recognized by the camera software. Needless to say, this is awesome - the next step is to flash a rom that supports all the nifty things I can do with a front facing camera, and make the most of what I now have.

Here's where I get confused, though - all my poking about on the forum and elsewhere seemed to say that this wasn't possible - that the tilt /could not/ be modified to have a front camera. Was I misreading things that badly?

If it helps, I've got some very blurry pictures (my camera's a piece of junk), and might take some more if people want.

Love to hear back.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dtag:
Nice work Harrson...BTW, a few questions...

Do you have to dismantle the whole phone or can you do it just by removing the torx screws behind the sliding screen?

And is the front camera of the tilt modular? cause i hawked a camera off an old treo 650 and I know it's angled diferrently from the tilt as to the wire but do you just pop it on the front camera module? thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Harrson:
I was not able to find a method of removing the front cover by itself, and had to go through the entire disassembly (just about) as detailed at Mike Channon's website, removing all those damned tiny screws and bending distressingly thin pieces of plastic to get to the front case.

The front camera is modular, yes - it's a tiny little thing comprised of a small camera(about the size of a pea or so) mounted on a flat flexible cable kind of thing, which terminates in one of those miniature plugs that you find elsewhere inside the phone. The socket lives under the front cover, right next to the power/wifi/bluetooth LEDs near the earpiece.

On my Tilt, the cavity that was intended to hold the camera had been filled by a cube of black foam rubber that had been glued to the board (which you can kind of see in my crappy picture). I removed that, plugged in the camera, and reassembled.

(I apologize for the atrocious pictures - as I said, the camera's a piece of junk)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] borov5:
LOL! WOW! Thanks, I'll try it soon :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Harrson:
As to using the camera from another HTC phone, I called HTC about using the one from the TYTN 1 (which I'd bought off of ebay without knowing any better), and I was told that the part numbers were different. Now, I have no idea whether or not the parts are technically compatible (but geometrically different), or if they're just no good for each other (like alcohol and me).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jamieay:
Sweet!

That's pretty sweet! What are you using the front camera for?

Jamie
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Harrson:
Um... Not much, actually. Not yet, anyway.

See, the next step in my plan was to flash my rom to something with a 3g dialer and something a damn sight quicker than the stock rom - I've been eyeing the latest stable Phoenix release for a while now, but I admit that I've been hesitant for fear of bricking my phone.

Really, I've just been showing it off, and hoping that someone who sees it will ask "Oh, cool! Are you using it with application X?" and inadvertently give me a good idea, and then I can say "Application X? That's old news - I haven't used application X in, like, months!" And then I'll go download application X immediately.

In truth, I haven't been able to find all that much in the way of video chat for Windows Mobile, whether over wifi or 3g.

Anyone heard of anything good?

[Touch CDMA General] jake044:
i was tryin to install the latest nfsfan 6.5 rom and i followed everything and i got to here:

READ the hell outta it until you have it step by step.

(BTW use the 2.31 unlocker regardless about the GPS thing)

OK, now that you've read that (happy dance time)

Download the 2.31 Unlocker and NFSFANs WinMO 6.5 ROM.

And make sure to download one of the DCD Carrier cabs here

and copy it to your SD card as you may need this after the flashing is done.

(will get back to this tasty morsel later)

OK, now you have an Unlocker and a ROM - now what, hmmmm

Use WinRAR and extract both the files into separate folders,

Press and hold the Power button+Camera Button and Stylus in the reset hole

until the 3 color screen comes up and it says serial,

now plug in your cable and it should change to USB.

Can you taste the rainbow and it is over the land of USB??

Great, now go into the Unlocker folder you created

and doubleclick on the RomUpdateUtility.exe

(going to be called RUU.exe from this point on).

Follow the steps on the desktop monitor.

(You might get some errors about sleep4.exe - dont worry about it)

Just keep hitting enter and it will go away after the 4th or so time.

At some point the program is going to tell you to disconnect the phone,

sounds scary doesn't it, losing the connection and all - dont be,

be a brave little soldier and disconnect it and count to 10,

cant do that, get some help in getting there,

its really that important LOL once you (or your friend)

gets to 10 plug it back in, does it say USB again? good!!

happy dance AFTER you hit a key on the keyboard per the on screen directions.

It's going to eventually reboot, let it and it will be unlocked,

let it start up and do its thing, when its done - go ahead and go back into bootloader mode again

(remember power+camera+stylus twister move you did earlier, its back to that again)

with the cable disconnected and it had better say SERIAL again..

now go ahead and plug in the cable and it should change to USB.

Now go into the ROM folder and double click the RUU.exe here ...

and follow the directions that come up on the screen...

Once its done and the phone reboots, wait...

wait some more..

still keep waiting..

no not yet ...

stop touching it..

it wont help pacing..

just be patient... <---

and its not doing anything..how long does it take?

am i doing something wrong?? PLEASE HELP!
[Touch CDMA General] Detroit_Doug:
OK, as it was I that wrote that up Ill try and help you out as well :) see I really am a nice guy, dont let them haters tell ya different LOL

If youve waited 10 minutes, it aint going to do anything BUT you have flashed it successfully (congrats and another chorus of happy happy dance) so we have 2 options here

1) hard reset the phone (red button + green button + stylus in reset hole

hold this until the screen turns gray and has some instructions for you

follow those instructions

or

2) flash the phone again - it has been recommended by others that shall remain nameless (CODY BERE is a hint LOL) that flashing to an original stock ROM helps also making sure you have a radio of 3.42.30 or higher can be a positive as well

Hope that helps and we will overcome .. oh wait .. different problem and solution LOL

Through my research it seems there are different firmware updates you can put on the phone. Is that true? Is "cupcake" just version 1.5? What up to date versions are available for the phone and is there a hacked cupcake version? I'm trying to get it all straight but I am a bit confused so please tell me what I have wrong or right here please! Thanx!

I have an aviation application I bought 2 years ago and no longer have the media it came on. I moved the application manually from a PPC to my previous phone, a Tilt, and it worked perfectly. I now want to move the application to my new phone, a Fuze. How can I go about doing this(I forgot how I did it before)? Is there any app out there that can do it automatically? I already made the new keys in the registry and copied and pasted the programs whole folder to my new phone but it says my library(in the application) has not been activated. I am at a lose here. Any help would be great! If any more info is needed I can give it as well.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NRGZ28:
It's too bad that information (while good!) doesn't help him at all as it has nothing to do with htccoldboot.exe.. Notice the HTC in the file name ? :)

Htccoldboot.exe processes all provxml's among other things. So you assumed right :) You could try trimming them one by one, until your issue goes away...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ookba:
Thats what I figured. Thanks. The main issue is that after about 10 minutes of "idle", you go back to the home screen and it's white saying "The layout cannot be loaded". Sometimes the Start menu will work so I can get back into Settings\Home Screen and change it. When I do, it comes back.

Any idea what can be affecting that? Happens with HTC Sliding Panels, regular Sliding Panels, and both CPR's. Also, regardless of what color "scheme" I choose. It's like there is some background service that times it out!?

Any ideas?

I made a new skin (I call it Whitestone Skin) for the VGA version of the HTC phone pad application, since all the VGA versions i've seen are not true VGA bitmaps, but simply stretched versions made from QVGA resolution.. This one i've made is alot sharper, since it's made from scratch in VGA resolution. I've tried my best to make it look like the diamond SIP design, but i guess my artistic skills are limited.. =)

I've only completed the portrait bitmaps, and have not done the landscape version. Anyone interested in it? if so i'll probably spend time to do the landscape one...

Thanks to mbarvian because I used his skin as a base, and to poorlyduck for the clock, I made 2 manilla 2d themes, one is based off of the rhodium's touchflo 3d, and one based off of the topaz's.

The zip files have the images for the theme in them, you have to use the Manilla 2D customizer to apply the themes, which can be downloaded from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=427392

also, I am not sure if everyone will have this problem but if the clock doesn't show up correctly I recommend installing poorlyduck's clock because that will fix it, I will try to make my own fix later, but for now poorlyduck's should fix the problem, you can find it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2756661&postcount=2667

other than that, please leave feedback, report any bugs that you find (although I tested it and am currently using the topaz one) and enjoy!

Of coarse as usual I am just going to say I am not responsible for any damages hardware or software related ext, but I am pretty sure applying a theme can not do anything like that

BTW- I would prefer a touch pro 2 over a diamond 2, but I am using the topaz theme cause I think it looks better :D

Alright so I had to go back to HTC Home after running TF2D on my Titan for a while because it was just too slow and left me low on memory. So I decided to change some of the graphics to keep the M2D look on my phone since pretty much everything else is M2D themed. So if anybody else wants to use it here it is:

Final Version 6/13/09

Installation:

- Install HTC Home cab file first if you have not done so already, soft reset.

- Go to settings, today, items tab and uncheck HTC Home.

- Copy files to "\HTCHome" folder.

- Go back into settings and check it back on.

- Soft reset if there are any issues.

For the look shown you will need poorlyduck's M2D tsk file found here:

Also this looks best with glossy black bars (just makes the grays darker):
