[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sean D.:
Can I make one more important suggestion...?

Everybody has some really good ideas, and suggestions for what will undoubtedly make one of the best apps out there IF it can be built. But lets remember one of the original requests/criteria that this app be LIGHT.

If all of this stuff can be packed into one app it would in fact be great, but can it be done and still keep the app "light"??

I know Pocket CM seems very light, but the latest version that I have been running (.29) has some memory leak issues (especially when you have a lot of sms messages). Even though, I'd hope the developers would look at PCM at least for some of it's 'flow' characteristics if nothing else.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Hehe, yes, I agree as well. Relax, the 'i' is gone forever;) I believe that Slide2Send is a great name, at least as long as the Slide-function will work properly!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
You got a very good point here, Sean. This is important to keep in mind! Of course, all of the mentioned features would be great to have, but IMO most of them are not first priority. Three things remain important to me:

- a light app

- smooth graphics (from dickenz;))

- finger-friendly UI

And of course Slide2Send! Hehe:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sean D.:
Exactly. If all these sweet ideas cna be built in without "weighing it down" then hellz yeah, do it!

But I'd rather not sacrifice ease, or usability for functions that drag it down.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sophos1:
I'm in for $10.......and just my 2 cents, it would be pretty awesome if the bottom bar would disappear upon opening the keyboard (like in PocketCM Contacts SMS). It leaves more room on the screen.

Love the idea. Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] michd43:
I agree. Those four ideas should be the core for this project. We need to get a stable beta working before we start adding anything else.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Yes, I've been thinking about this. I do agree with you, but the problem is that there will be less buttons available and more buttons to press to get to the menus...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Jclarkk:
Good news I hope

This guy has developed a free SMS program in which he is also intending to release the source code which I guess can be a HUGE help for the devs.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] dickenz:
Hi Jclarkk, thanks for the input however I think you'll find the creator of that app has already posted in this thread and offered his assistance :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] PhantomDj:
I am willing to donate 20 Euros or even more, IF (and only IF) the app is going to support standard SMS view besides Threaded View. I love the entire concept of the app, but I HATE threaded SMS view...

Also, I'm going to help with skins and translation to my native language too!

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
I agree, it should be possible to choose. I've put you up for USD $20, as it is easier to have all in one currency;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] christcomes:
I'm not a coder but I am a designer. No sorry I'm quite caught up with things to help with the designs but for what it's worth I'd like to offer my 2 cents for the current mockups we have. The default typed in text should be much larger than what we see currently and the slide to send bar should be shorter than the width of the app. The colors need not be red and green because it simply doesnt match an sms app. Let it be a more monochromic S2S bar. Trust me it'll look better. Let both sides of the slider be the same off white or grey color. The slider bar must be thicker (taller) than it is and the text inside the bar should be smaller and less opaque. An etched feel would be better. The bar separating the typing area and the current message should be one thin line which isn't so pronounced as what we see in the mockup. Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] longice:
Well, I disagree with most of this, christcomes. The sliding bar should not be shorter than the width of the app, that'd just look silly :p And it will also reduce the functionality of it. It's not supposed to be a button. If the slider is made shorter, it will soon be just that - a button.

Of course the text will be a bit larger, this is the easiest thing to adjust. The mockups are made like this in order to show the possibilities.

If you're such a fan of grey, why don't you just buy an iphone;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] y2ldude:
i just flashed my tilt with solace v3.1 and everything works great except I can't go online through my AT&T network. All i see is a little "H" icon before there was a 3G icon how can i get it back? thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] peterfnet:
You should pose this question in that rom's thread. Maybe that rom doesn't have a Connection Wizard built in. H stands for HSDPA. H>3G speed wise.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Please don't double post / start new threads for questions you've already asked.

You have two answers already. Read them.

Do I just copy all the files from the ext3 partition to my computer, partition the new sdcard to ext3, and copy the files from the computer to the new sdcard (on the ext3 partition of course)...?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] juno14:
hi guys, has anyone encountered this?

whenever having spb keyboard 4.1.1 installed, the phone freezes if I soft-reset

it stops before going into windows, when the black screen shows "touch diamond" and 3 rows about the versions of the rom

i have to hard-reset every time. if it matters, im using Europe_2.03.401.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26 _1.09.25.23_Ship

this also happens to a friend's diamond

does anyone know the cause? any tips are greatly appreciated!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sallal:
same thing happening 2 me also with using another new WM6.5 build ...

Dunno why it happens every time...

but i'll change now to Resco Keyboard Pro ... it seems that its kinda same thing
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] laimbeersux:
Hey all, I bought a HTC Touch Pro from Alltel back in December and have had zero issues with it till just recently. I ended up needing to do a hard reset and was able to back up all of my contacts/sms messages/etc... via another cab that I found on here. Since doing the hard reset, my msn.com email address is giving me crap when I try to sync it. When I say "giving me crap" I mean that it simply will not sync. When I hit the send/receive button, it goes straight to the "finished" notification, doesn't even appear to try to synch the folders at all. Also since the hard reset it automatically opens Windows Live, which it never did before. I created a gmail account just to see if it was an msn.com email issue. The Gmail inbox updates just fine, no issues at all, but the msn email just refuses to even try to sync. I'm not running any crazy roms/themes/cabs, all I have are the nocurtains, clear slider, and glass clock cabs installed, just purely visual cabs.

Anybody have any ideas on what I might be able to do to get windows live to stop opening automatically and get my msn email to actually sync? The msn email is my main one and I'd like to be able to access it on my phone. If my problem has been addressed here, I apologize, but I was unable to find it being addressed anywhere here or anywhere else for that matter. Maybe I'm just dumb and cant use the internet, but I was unable to find my answer elsewhere so I figured I could start a new thread and ask people who are more tech savvy than I am. Your help is greatly appreciated and I thank you all in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jaso2005:
Well, as Zero hour is fast approaching on what i have been told by business cs at T-Mobile (UK) that the TP2 aka Vario 5 will be out on Tuesday (Subject to anymore push backs) i thought id start a thread so we can discuss our findings etc.

I will be giving them a call on Tuesday to see if i can get my grubby little hands on it and will let you all know if i get any success!

Those of you that know me from the Kaiser Section of this board will know I did the same with the Vario 3 and ended up with a huge mass of "Im calling now, cmooooon" and it was rather funny to read!

Jas
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rienzi:
I am interested in a vario 5 too. I wonder what the price and contract will be.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jaso2005:
Well i spoke to a chap at T-Mobile on Tuesday last week and i asked about pricing and as it wasnt out he couldnt be sure etc but said he thought that it would be free on my account which is a Business Flext 35 + WnW Pro which comes to ~£45/month.

I'll give them a call today and see what they say.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rienzi:
I think it ought to be free for £45 a month. I currently pay half that for the basic package (including the basic webn'walk) which is OK for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jamiewalshe:
keep us updated mate, im interested as to when they'll be getting stock, contract runs out on wednesday and mpd have been messing me about a bit!

id imagine it'll be free on a £35/month contract...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Greenturtle:
Gah, you got a date!

When I rang Orange last week I got 'within the next two weeks'.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Monty Burns:
Blimey! That would be quick... i remember when we used to wait months from a HTC release to a branded version.

I currently have a pre-order paid for and waiting for an Acer M900 and (diferences aside) I will possibly get which ever I can first .... and as i'm already on TMob, this could be the deciding factor!

Although, after my TD I swore I would never get another HTC device .....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Monty Burns:
:eek: Surely this cannot be true!!!!:eek:

No FM Radio? Then its a no-buy for me. I need my Absolute Radio going around the M25 in the mornings.:mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quarintus:
I don't get why everyone trips over the missing radio. If you use the radio a lot, why not buy a portable one (they are cheap) with a 3,5 mm headphone jack.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Monty Burns:
because i'd then need to carry ANOTHER device in my very small motorbike jacket pockets - so, a converged device (Read, contains FM radio) is exactly what i need.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] weehappypixie:
I just called T-Mobile UK to enquire about the availablility of this phone as I too am due an upgrade and they say it is NOT on there list for release this week :confused:

John
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Monty Burns:
hardly surprising that the left hand and right hand dont know what they are doing.

Your best bet, unless your in a REAL rush, is to wait. Wasn't it supposed to be tomorrow? Surley you can wait for that :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] neil@domino.org:
yah tmob telling me nada to tomorrow
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jaso2005:
Well an update for you all:

Ive basicly spent the entire day on the phone to T-Mobile (reorganising contracts - not just pestering them about a release date!) and ended up getting quite high up the ladder and they have started playing the "Well it is coming soon but it could be another couple of months yet" card.

To be honest and sorry to let everyone down from an update point of view, ive just ordered one sim free from work so i wont be getting any more updates from them, Although i am on the "High Priority First Call" list so they will call me as soon as it comes out.... apparently, no doubt we shall know here before they ring anyway though.

Mine should be arriving tomorrow and ill try and do a nice review of it but to be honest theres already a few in detail reviews and i doubt mine would cover anything that they havent already done.

I am looking forward to it though i must say!

Jas
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
i've landed myself an unbranded touchpro2/mda vario v from mobilephones direct on t-mobile uk. yep they are offering the touch pro 2 free on a 18 month contract at 39.15gbp monthly. no need for CID or security unlocks when hardspl get released etc. next delivery on all items so i think thats a smashing deal! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doraemon:
i also signed up with mobilesphonesdirect for the pro2 after i've been told the vario5 should be out by the end of June which i don't want to wait. i prefer the phone unlocked and in it's original design.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] silverwings2008:
mobilephones direct

Can I ask how you guys are getting the phone for free. When I rang up they told me to ring tmobile and find out what my upgrade value was (it was £200). I gave mobilephones direct this and they said the phone would cost me £250 to upgrade. Have you all got higher upgrade status or was I just unlucky and spoke to the wrong person!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] billu:
It's free on certain NEW contracts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveShaw:
You will need CID / Sec Unlock unless you got a pre-release version.

Even then most pre-rel devices are CID locked (by that I mean need Hard SPL to flash unsigned custom ROMs) still. You can check sec unlock status in the bootloader. Does it say Security unlocked at the top?

Dave
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] neil@domino.org:
how did you get your upgrade value? I've tried and nobody from tmob will give it to me.

Neil.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
can't see that! at top i have:

RHOD100 32M SS-BC

SPL-0.79.0000

is mine security locked?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveShaw:
No, and you cannot flash custom ROM's either.

It is probably SIM unlocked so you can use it on any network.

Hard SPL will be first out, then a combined Security / SIM unlocker will be next.

Just for anyone whose bothered on what all 3 types of unlocking are : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2907276&postcount=2 (FAQ #3)

Dave
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
guy said it was factory unlocked and generic but i am quite happy to wait for hardspl. stock rom is working fine and no real issues so far! generic htc software on it so i am happy. can update software direct from htc website. hate the network locked ones! anyway cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Loconinja:
I've enquired yesterday about the official T-Mobile UK TP2 (MDA Vario V) and was told that they no longer have plans to introduce it.

Has anyone else spoken to them, as I find it hard to believe.

If true, then I will order my TP2 from a 3rd party like mobilephonesdirect or expansys, but I don't want to do that and then see the MDA Vario V released a month later on T-Mobile UK!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DavidMc0:
I also spoke to them yesterday and they told me they'll release it, but don't yet have a date (said it'll be a while due to stringent testing). I hope they do release it, but if not I'll just go to Vodafone or someone else.

I'd like to stick with T-mobile, as if the phone goes wrong you get next-day replacements on business tariffs, which was great with my Vario III as its USB port broke twice on me!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] colincolin:
Phoned t-mobile today too who were pretty un-committal to telling me if and when it was coming.

I went and looked at mobilephonesdirect shop, looked great. I didn’t put the battery in, but I did play with a diamond 2. It all looked good. The deal they were offering wasn’t nearly as good as the deal on their website. I asked if they could match it and they couldn’t. I then phoned the website who said they didn’t have any left. I phoned later in the day and was told they now have stock so I ordered one from the website. I looked at the status of my order about 4.30 today and it said awaiting stock. I phoned and whinged about it and they gave me some flannel about a courier having not arrived.

I hope it arrives soon, and if it does or doesn’t I’ll let you all know.

Colin
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Oliy:
I've spoken to a couple of CS reps on the phone who said they knew it was coming but had no details. When I went into a shop on the weekend the two salespeople thought it might be mid July before they get them, and not to expect it for free on tariffs under £50.

It's looking unlikely that the mobilephonesdirect deal will be beaten.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lurking_spider:
Vario 5 / HTC TP2

Just spoke to T-Mob. They informed me they no longer intend to carry this model at all...

looks like mobilephonesdirect is best option
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ramsfan_Jim:
They told me this morning it was on their 'Coming soon' list - guessed at end of the month.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lurking_spider:
got all excited there for a moment, phoned T-Mob back to see if you were right and they're still "not intending to carry that phone"...so off to vodafone for me!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jklondon:
yep also ditched tmobile for vodafone for this reason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] billu:
Glad I didn't waste my time waiting for the Vario V. MPD was cheaper, unlocked, unbranded, a no brainer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DavidMc0:
I'm off to Voadfone too. Shame, as T-mobile have been good and flext is a great tariff.

Oh well, adios T-mobile, hello Vodafone & Pro2!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] billu:
Mobile Phones Direct have this phone on T mobile contract, why dont yo go for that? Web'n'Walk is head and shoulders above any other provider's data plan.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] latah:
You cannot use your phone as a modem with Web'nWalk anymore. You have to add mobile broadband at ~£15 a month.

Does anyone know a reasonable contract that does allow you to use the phone as a modem ? They seem almost impossible to get now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xxnoelziexx:
you can on the cheaper options, it is only an app that enables you Tethering as long as you have a data package via your mobile provider to cut costs. Otherwise you will be on a flat rate charge
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DavidMc0:
A couple of reasons really; suport & simplicity.

If you get a phone from MPD and it goes wrong, you have to send it to HTC and wait for roughly 6 years (mild exaggeration) while it's being repaired. With a business contract with Vodafone, you get a next day replacement or swap out.

Also, I want to keep my number & if with T-mobile use Flext not Combi tariff, so doing an MPD T-mobile contract would mean porting my number to another provider, then back to T-mob, then changing my tariff to Flext from Combi.

I can't be bothered with all that - I just called Vodafone and I'm getting my fully supported TP2 on Monday!

Regarding data, I get 500mb per month with Vodafone, which will practically be as good as flext for me (though I'll have to keep an eye on my usage more).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] latah:
From T-Mobile website - "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."

On my old Web'n'Walk contract you could use the phone as a modem. You did not need any extra apps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DavidMc0:
It's kind of off topic, but WMWifirouter or similar enables you to use your phone as a modem even with basic W&W, as it doesn't appear as a modem to T-mobile. It worked for me!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andrewrees:
Wait...

You were never allowed to use standard web n walk for connecting to a laptop was you? I was under the impression that it would work, but for it to be allowed you needed to be on the web n walk plus service for £4 or so extra per month :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] billu:
I think that's correct. Webn walk plus will let you use phone as a modem and stream data
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lloydsparkes:
I have read thought this thread, and i am at a loss to what is happening?

I know T-Mobile Germany already have the phone on their network for about 260E which means they have the firmware working fine over there, it shouldnt be too much work to do the same but in English

Is there still nothing definite about the Vario 5 and Compact 5 coming to the UK on T-Mobile?

I just checked the UK site and they only have the Vario 4

I can upgrade early on the 14th July, but otherwise i will have to wait untill november to move to another network/contract
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lloydsparkes:
The MDA Vario 5 seems to be out in Germany & Netherlands - On T-Mobile
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rienzi:
t mobile uk have dropped the vario v. As far as I know it will never come out on t mobile, possibly because it failed testing. The compact 5 (diamond 2?) is coming out very soon, I understand.

I wanted a vario 5, but am now thinking of getting a Samsung Omnia 2 instead, when it comes out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lloydsparkes:
Oh that really sucks if they have dropped it for good :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Loconinja:
I just spoke to a T-Mobile rep who confirmed that the Vario V is not coming to T-Mobile UK. The Compact V is available now.

What to do? PAC to Vodafone? Unlocked from devicewire/expansys? New contract from MPD? Upgrade to Compact V? I can't decide. :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lloydsparkes:
I will have to see if i can leave my contract early, when they give me early upgrade in july, i dont want to be stuck with this kaiser for much longer

Looking at all of the options i think i will have to cancel t-mobile move number to payg, then get a new t-mobile from MPD then transfer number back across
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ramsfan_Jim:
What evidence do you have for this statement? T-Mobile are selling the Vario V in Europe, it is advertised on various websites, I have even seen sites where testers actually have T-Mob branded Vario Vs and are using them.

I have spoken to 4 different staff within T-Mobile's loyalty team over the past couple of weeks. They have all given slightly different stories ("I've just had an email", "our notes say" etc.) but they have all been consistent in saying the device will be releaseed, but is taking longer in testing than anticipated - due to the T-Mobile software they have overlayed on the device. They all expect it imminently - and have offerred to call me when it is available.

Why would any of them do this if T-Mobile had dropped the device?:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DavidMc0:
I heard it from the retentions team at T-mobile UK. It seems official the they have cancelled the UK release of Vario V - they received an official email from their superiors telling them this, but the compact V is going ahead (or has already gone ahead!).

Who knows, they may have received bad information, or maybe they'll change their minds.

Don't know why they did this - the reason they gave me was that they're 'offering the N97 instead'. I considered this, but wanted pro2!

I've jumped ship to Vodafone, and I have my TP2 now with a reasonable contract, so I'm happy! Shame T-mobile did this, or I'd still be with them (however, Vodafone seem to have better network coverage around Aberdeen from my limited experience so far).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lurking_spider:
Evidence I'm afraid is every one of the last 3 calls to T-mob, and it would appear every one else's experience. Would love to be proven wrong, but you seem to be the only one they're telling they're getting them. Hell, I don't want to move network and it would be a lot simpler to just upgrade, but they can't mess people about for ever.
