just got $100 ticket for having iPhone in the hand...

Steve,

I just got a $100 ticket for picking up the iPhone, that made my decision to get rid of that... I had pretty good connection between the dopod 818 and the headset, but gave away the dopod to a friend...regret that...

I am going to look in to Diamond2 more and make the decision soon - seems light enough, as long as i can read occasional yahoo mail and send my son sms, it will be good.. I liked the iPhone's big screen and quick response but the non-windows application drove me nuts...

I did take a look at TG01...not sure where to get it and more importantly the price..looks like it may be exorbidant.

Thanks for the inputs..

Brenda :)

Brenda,

Another iPhone alternative that caught my eye is Palm Pre. The user interface is also fantastic, very similar to iPhone in some ways. Here are some video demo

http://gizmodo.com/5126752/palm-pre-full-video-tours

This is Palm's version of WM7, so is definitely worth taking a close look.

Has an incredible browser that should be a good match for Safari. See here:

http://palmgoon.com/meet-the-web-browser-on-the-pre/

Apparently, the palm pre browser handles flash!

I have not gone deep enough into it and researched enough to say if if it good or not. Just as a potential candidate for evaluation I think it qualifies. In case I'm starting to sound like a Palm fanboy, I assure everyone that I'm still a winmo and iPhone fanboy in and out :-)

Hack, when you got a chance to buy a new phone, with so many new candidates on the market, why not keep our mind completely open once again? The bar has been lifted higher and higher each year. Why choose a device based on very low expectation and standard?

The most important area to research IMO is what sorts of third party software could be found and their quality. If it has an apple store equivalent, then I think it would be extremely attractive. If anyone here can speed up our learning process in this area I'd greatly appreciate it. I like to know if I can run the like of TomTom, iGO, etc on Palm Pre, or if it has a credible GPS software of its own. I also have lots of other questions like if an MS Offfice compatible spreadsheet exist, any good Golf Score/Handicapping software, quality of video capture and playing software, quality of camera, ease of downloading movies/MP3 etc, likes of eWallet type software, likes of Cash Organiser Premium type software, etc etc. I'm also interesting in seeing the "file structure"/file coying/file moving/file renaming features. I want to make sure that it is not just a phone, but a computer. Can someone help?

I could'nt find definite anwer to your question on whether it can do voice dialing over bluetooth, but here is a thread that you can follow:

Cheers.

If you don't need a bigger screen, the Touch Diamond2 is a great phone. If you need a bigger screen like the HD, then the upcoming Firestone might be worth waiting for http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_2009_roadmap_gets_updated_now_weve_got_the_specs-news-821.php

If you need a keyboard, then the Touch Pro2 might be what you need.

I have an HD with my eye on the Firestone.
[Touch HD General] galaxys:
Definately the Firestone is on my list for an upgrade when it shows up in Oct. or Nov.! But, I'll be playing with the TP2 w/ 3G on t-mobile USA!!
[Touch HD General] DRTigerlilly:
I'm curious to see what the battery life is going to be like on the Toshiba Tg01, i'm a little disenfranchised with HTC's incremental (if that much) upgrades.

The Tg01 seems much snappier and seems to have really good graphics performance, which is more than we can say for the last couple HTC iterations.

The only thing remaining for me to find out, is the battery life, and if there is any hope for a US operator to take it up...OR...another market that uses US 3g bands.
[Touch HD General] madman_cro:
hmm. i dont know about rushing for firestone. i think hd will be great phone for long time. it has got nice hardware and maybe it will run android or wm7.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
Certainly a logical thinking for anyone still willing to stick to winmo platform. HTC and microsoft are taking us for a ride for far too long with their tactics of keep selling us the (almost) same phone with the same defects every few months. TG01 is worth a consideration. However Toshiba didn't make very good winmo phone in the past either. If their battary is replaceable I won't worry too much about it as you could always carry spare ones with you.
[Touch HD General] Matterhorn:
I agree that rushing to the Firestone is premature, the obvious thing to watch is the new Snapdragon processor and if it has graphics acceleration activated throughout the system (this would be the main upgrade point for me). I see that the Firestone has the Snapdragon throttled back to 600mhz, maybe as you say, because of battery life. The Toshiba according to these specs is running at 1ghz and is only sporting a 1,000 mah battery (?), 3.1 mgpixel camera, no FM and a proprietary audio jack. The Tosh looks really nice though and only 9.9mm thick! That is a thin babe:-)

Maybe the Firestone can be overclocked when needed, which would be a great feature.

Tosh TG01 http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1724&c=toshiba_tg01
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
I'm unlikely to want to explore Palm Pre further because it only has 8GB internal memory with no storage card capability, can only use wifi when overseas, and still has a long long way to go with regards to applications. Also, the fact that it is a first generation phone bothers me. Perhaps things would change later, but now I would not go near it.

i must just tell everyone that SportyPal was a realy nice program working perfect on the HD

its a tracking program for workout and its realy simple and easy to use and give realy good information :)

http://www.sportypal.com/Workouts/Details/730

see my biking today there :)

only 1 flaw i was in a tunnel and then it lost track thats why its a straight line if they fix that (i have reported it) this program has realy big potensial and its free :)

anyone else have tryed it? or have a program like this i should try?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kekele:
I tried out yesterday, it's exelent, works perfectly.

The design is almost perfect, very clean. It is very simple for insatling, registering and using, one button press for every functionality. Except main stats screen where time, distance, speed, average speed and calories burned there is another screen with actual track. On some phones track is integrated with compass on the iPhone and Android there is live Google map. The price is RIGHT - FREE. And the web site very functional.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Zepiii:
Yeah, it looks promising, i'll test it after exams !
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] teodorparcel:
Thank you gnagis :-)

I tried it yesterday, WVGA on my Xperia is looking great. The map feature with compass is interesting solution, first time seen by me...

http://www.sportypal.com/Workouts/Details/1649

Sportypal web seems to be interesting, with one workout I could not say much, but there is RESULTS link with diffrent statistics....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kekele:
I'm using Diamond, and on my phone it works and looks great.

I can leave my phone while exercising and then with just one click i can put all the data on their web site. Also I can say that the community service works amazing, can show my workouts and maps to my friends and colleagues :). Very nice very nice...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Multani004:
Thnx gnagis for letting us know about this intresting software.

Im stuck at "initializing GPS" screen... any advise on this ?

Though My navigation software works w/o any problem.

How is the battery consumption with sportypal?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] teodorparcel:
I saw the article it looks promiseing, but there is too much technical stuff. Is it ok you turn on GPS every 10 min? I noticed that most of the problems cames before GPS lock.......

I don't know how it works GPS at Sportypal, but I've noticed that after 1-1,5 min from workout start Screen goes down, if you like to see info during workout press ON button shortly and screen goes on for 15-20 sec inough to see info, if you touching the screen time is bigger. Probably this save energy.

On my Xperia at least 6 hours and more, enough for me.

http://www.sportypal.com/Public/Workout?workout_id=2326

Some on did 147km (91mi) and more then 6 hours see the link.

After couple days of use it, I discovered that Sportypal web is full of detailed info. If you are logged in, there is My Results tool for statistic of your workouts and My Records. And also there is tools for analyzing the workout track.

And the most intresting, there is a people with diffrent phones platforms whith who you can be a pal. There is NO PHONE DISCRIMINATION - I like it most. If I decide to change the phone I can continue with sporting on the same way.

Once i also try to use this cycle computer, haaaa it took a lot of time until i got him running, it's way to complicated procedure to get turn it on. I would go with the sportypal, it's simple, easy to install and use.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] georgetr:
Thanks gnagis,

I'm using Sportypal couple of days, and every day I discover one small pleasent surprise. I found "track" during the running with built in Compass on mobile application, and button analyze on the web. For this you should be loged in.

Sportypal motivates really much, example is my cycling from yesterday:

http://www.sportypal.com/Workouts/Details/422,

haah 16,14mi with average 14,48 for me the best average for now.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JLowe:
Thank you for the tip! First impression: Confirming, very easy to use, very fast access to Sat (normally in a few secconds), battery drain looks okay and for me very important: the screen turns off automatically (as above described).

You must register on the website to have the export option (gpx-file).

Very nice & useful application!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] memko123:
Thanx for the tip!

Tried it and is werry good. Use it for running. You can export the track.gpx and than import it to some other program for statistics (I use myasics).

Werry goog!

Sportypal and the switch off button

Sometimes, when I have been hassling with my TouchPro2 I see that Sportypal has lost the GPS connection.

When looking the second time I see a straight line between the last time I touched it.

I think I have hit the power button on top of the phone by accident .

But programs like Agile and MSN keep working on the background after hitting the power button. So why not Sportypal?

I work with or without S2U2 and see no difference.

Maybe I am wrong and that's why I have the following questions:

1. Anybody using S2U2 while working with Sportypal, and if so, with which settings?

2. Or do you just put your phone in your pocket without touching anything?

In that case I have the idea that I accidentalyy hit the pauze/continue button while in my pocket.

3. At battery, advanced settings, you have the second square(Switch off after x minutes when not on external power) toggled or not?

UPDATE (some minutes later): Copying the address of the current Web page from inside Opera Mini:

1.) Navigate to the YouTube page (make sure you do this on the non-mobile view) and either press #1 (if your phone has a hardware dialpad) or go to Menu (left softkey) / Enter Address.

2.) If you haven’t disabled the new auto-completion address input field (the Auto-complete address input checkbox in Settings), press Down and go to Insert symbol… by pressing Up; and select it; you’ll be taken to the address input field of your Java environment. (You’re taken straight here if you disable the new, Opera Mini-specific address input field.)

3.) select Menu (right softkey) / Current Address

4.) As you can see, the address of the current page is displayed. Just copy it: highlight it entirely (under Jbed, to do this, click Shift, Ctrl and, finally, the left arrow on the on-screen keyboard) and press Ctrl-C on the virtual keyboard.

5.) Now, switch to wmDA and start downloading.

Hey guys,

I have an HTC Touch Pro and I start to hate it.

E.g. I want to go online with my Windows 7 notebook without fumbling around with the htc device.

So "Internet Sharing" is not an option. (WMWiFiRouter is a nice idea, but I need my WiFi Connection to connect with my wireless projector, so only Bluetooth DUN is available)

DUN luckily comes with RoMeOS and after pairing the device I get a new modem on COM3.

If I just try to dial my german ISP "O2" *

with the provided initstring and

*9***1#

It doesn't even dial out.

From searching the web I found that the modified dial-string

ATM1L3DT might work.

And it really helps! It connects and says "Checking username and password", but shortly after, it disconnects again.

The Log-File says :

CONNECT

CD-signal was disconnected

CTS or DSR low while processing break of CD-signal

Call Aborted

(The log is in German; I tried to translate)

What can I do to have success with DUN?? I really need it!!

I guess there's something wrong with the init strings. Any other suggestions also welcome...

Hell, I'll even donate something if you get it to work!

;)

Hey guys, n00bish question....

...in peoples opinion what is the best PC based calender application that you can sync the Dash with?

Many thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
outlook 2003 or 2007
[HTC Excalibur] aussiedog:
^ +1 on Outlook
[HTC Excalibur] ratstrangler:
No question.

Outlook 2007.

It's not too shabby on 2010 x64 either. ;)
[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
I use Google Calendar and Google ActiveSync exchange. Outlook was ok but I wanted something fast and simple.. Google calendar fits the bill and with Chrome (googles browser) I can make an 'application shortcut' and have a direct link to my calendar online or offline on my desktop that immediately syncs to my device
[HTC Excalibur] skyler17:
I agree. But if you want to sync with Google, I would recommend syncing only when there are not contacts/calender entries on your Dash. If there are, Google sync via exchange always duplicates your contacts.

So put your outlook contacts & calender in Google first, then sync.

I enjoy living in the cloud :)

[General Questions and Answers] T3hPwnographer:
So I got my shiny new LG Incite at Best Buy yesterday. I knew I was getting it a while ago, so I downloaded a bunch of games and apps to load it up with as soon as possible. I get home from the store, play around with it and let it charge for a while, then I try to connect it to my computer (After installing ActiveSync 4.5 from the included disk, as well as both of the USB drivers on the disk). Windows comes up with that "found new hardware" stuff and asks where to look for the driver to install. I tell it to look on the CD, as well as the directories where the USB drivers from the disk were installed. It looks like it's working at first, but then I get this error:

(Error: "The data is invalid.")

Then it gives me the message balloon about how there was an error during installation and my new hardware may not work properly, etc. Now when I go to Device Manager, a number of things showed up with that little yellow exclamation point that I'm pretty sure were not there before, but I could be wrong:

- IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers: VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller

- Network Adapters: Unknown device, WAN miniport (L2TP), WAN miniport (Network Monitor), and Windows Mobile-based Device

- Ports (COM & LPT): Communications Port (COM1)

So I tried reinstalling the drivers from a link I found in a thread on these boards (after clicking uninstall for "Windows Mobile-based Device" and having it tell me that the device is necessary to boot up the computer), but the same thing keeps happening. I also tried having ActiveSync scan for devices, but it never finds anything (Just says that USB is "available").

Please help, I really want to start putting pictures, music, and all that good stuff on my brand new phone :(

(btw, I'm pretty sure the problem is with the software/drivers on the computer, because when I plug in the USB cable the phone starts to charge. Other than that, nothing happens on the phone.)

(Sorry for the double post, but no one was replying...)

So I found my bluetooth adapter for my PC, and after I installed the proper software I could connect to my phone no problem. After that, I just used the bluetooth adapter's software to transfer files to my phone via FTP. (ActiveSync still just sat there, even when I set my phone to sync with bluetooth instead of USB, and I allowed wireless connections in ActiveSync)

So I'm glad I can finally transfer files, but I still want to get USB working. No one has any ideas at all? :confused:
