[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] whiskeybro:
You could use WkTask

the best free taskmanager there is (not working on wm6.5)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] VerusAmos:
I tried it and I like it, Is there a way to make a backup of my settings?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] VerusAmos:
It seems the program doesnt work as i wished it would. I worked with it for a while and I like the concept alot, but there's a major flaw. Sometimes when I make adjustments to, lets say, my alarm settings (winmo clock/alarms setings), and when I press [ok] the window minimizes (I set the one click to minimize), there's no way you can apply the changes because it will keep on running on the background. If I choose to close it then the changes wont apply. This occurs to many other programs I use in simular occasions when you need to press [ok] to apply settings.

I would still have a solution to the HTC taskbar though. I think I would prefer it over the WkTask taskmanager.
[HTC Oxygen] devilkin:
I've loaded the blackdragon firmware and i have problem when connecting my phone to my pc.

The phone still tries to use the sim to connect to the internet instead of using the pc via active sync. At the moment i can force it to use active sync by disabling the phone with the wireless manager.

Is there any way to set the connection priority?
[Touch Pro CDMA] thefaceeater:
Ok i have a alltel touch pro, stock rom the only thing i have changed was the theme. i have diamond tweak and tf3d config and advance config tool all installed. For some reason I will pull my phone out of my pocket turn the screen on and the data will be on. I have weather, gps, and all other options that use data turned off unless i tell it to turn on. (or so i think)

Is there anything you guys know of that would be a reason for my data to be coming on automatically. it is killing my battery and it is becoming annoying to after having my screen off for an hour or so (sometimes more) to pull it out and the data be on for no reason.

any help please?

thanks

[Touch Pro CDMA] Jhae_Jhae:
I also had the same problem. My phone did the exactly same thing, but since I have a notification on my phone on when this would occur it I would press and hold the end key to terminate the data.

What I did to get rid of it was first backed up all of contacts, sms, etc..

and did a hard reset.

Got rid of all of the extras I had installed.

And reinstalled only the things that I needed.

for example net.3.5 tf3d config, personalizer.

If you don't have a back up program (make sure you have a sim card as when you back up you'll be backing it up into your sim) use PPCPimBackup.exe which you could find through google.

I'm still a noob to ppcs and my touch pro, but if you have any questions on how to do the following just let me know.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Sh0wNuF:
If you download advanced config tool you can set the data connection to turn off automatically. There are also a ton of other options that will help optimize your phone and save battery
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
Do you have an E-mail account set up on your device? If so, you may have set it to connect every so often. One other thing that comes to mind would be if the QuickGPS app needs to update the certificates, it will connect to the internet.

You may want to get a custom rom in your device. This will get rid of a lot of junk...

Good luck!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eki:
Somehow I lost the example pictures that were in my Diamond when it was being delivered. Probably caused by some conflict with my laptop when syncing with AS. I have searched all over the forum and the net to find them again, but I could only find some downsized ones. Is there anyone willing to send them to me or to attach them to this thread?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sixthsigma:
i had HTC p3300 (atremis).

kindly help me to upgrade my mobile to WM6.0 to Wm6.1 (with latest ROM)

Current Specification

Radio Version : 02.69.90

Protocol verison : 4.1.13.30

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Zecanilis:
What dou you need?

Have you searched something?

Have you open the first posts on Artemis upgrading seccion?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] peppercon:
I would suggest that before u upgrade ur phone read this thread properly to understand the procedures and risks involved in flashing a ROM http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...me=HTC_Artemis

1. In order to flash a ROM on ur HTC P3300 u 1st need to CID Unlock your device, that way u'll be able to flash a ROM on to ur phone REMEMBER to CID Unlock your device before doing anything otherwise u'll brick your phone. You can get the CID Unlocking software frm here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311403.

2. After you are done wid the 1st step u've now CID Unlocked your device and it is ready for a ROM upgrade. Select and download a ROM of you choice frm here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...mis_DumpedRoms (I personally prefer the Black and Blue ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=364883) flash the ROM on to your device and after the reboot u'll have WM6.1 :).

3. Last I would recommend tht u also upgrade you Radio ROM (this is responsible for all the communication functions of ur phone i.e. calls, GPS, WiFi etc) which will enhance the communication capabilities. You can find the latest Radio ROMs here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._RadioUpgrades.

But please do read the thread i mentioned in the beginning. :D
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sixthsigma:

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] TalhaQasim:
No. The USPL does not contain the Rom for P3300
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sixthsigma:

thanks in advance
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Zecanilis:
When your device boots, what number appears after "SPL" ?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sixthsigma:
spl-1.11.0000
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] peppercon:
ok tht shows, tht u have CID Unlocked your phone...and as i mentioned tht u need to select a ROM of ur choice frm the thread i gave u...just click on the thread link in tht page and tht will lead u to the ROM's page, der u'll c screenshots of the ROM and the OS version which wud be either WM6.0 or WM6.1.

Just download the ROM i suggested (Black and Blue v5.0) and download the cube version after downloading it unpack the file and u'll c ROM Uploader/Updater (something like tht) just double-click it and follow the wizard..thts it :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] peppercon:
yes tht ROM (Black&Blue v5.0) shall be compatible wid ur Atemis
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] TalhaQasim:
I installed it too. Ya it is compatible with our Artemis
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sixthsigma:
Fianlly its done..

thank u very much for great support

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] peppercon:
You're welcome! :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Neo.Collin:
Hey thx for the posts..

I had a question though - I thought we were talking about Artemis - IOn the screenshots of black & Blue, I saw the processor speed @ 400 MHz - & mine is 200 MHZ ... How much difference will that make ?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] lunakirb:
win5 to 6.1/6.5?

sir referring to my title..can i upgrade to those higher platform? i have my artemis for almost last year and just know i learn about this..and how can i know is my device is CID locked or SIM locked?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] leventero:
hello,

I CID unlocked my artemis 1 year ago,do i need to do it again ? if i want to upgrade a different ROM? or is ones enough
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] peppercon:
@leventero

No you dont need to CID unlock your device again if u have done it earlier...just proceed with the ROM flashing
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] peppercon:
@Neo Collin.

I believe the Black and Blue ROM is compatible with Artemis, since I flashed the ROM once myself and worked perfectly well. Unless you are looking at Black and Blue ROM for another device carrying a higher processor or maybe the screenshots are from some device other than Artemis and posted there for just a reference!! :)...please never try flashing a ROM for devices other than Artemis!!...I hope that helps
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] peppercon:
@lunakrib

Yes you can upgrade you Artemis from WM5.0 to WM6.x, however there are a few things you need to know before flashing. (Prior to flashing your device I strongly suggest that you go through with this thread to understand the complications and other issues that you might face during an upgrade http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Artemis)

1. Before upgrading your device check whether the device is SIM or CID locked or both in some cases. The best way to check whether your phone is SIM locked or not is to insert a different SIM Card (from another operator), if that SIM card works properly means your device is not SIM locked and if the phone doesn't accepts the new SIM Card then probably the phone is SIM locked. Here is how you can SIM unlock your phone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=397718.

2. Coming to the second issue which is checking if the device is CID locked or not. Well the best way is to take a trip down to your memory lane :) and see if u have ever flashed a cooked ROM onto your Artemis (since you said that you are using WM5.0 on it, I reckon that your device is probably CID locked) if however you did flash a different ROM then you must have CID unlocked your device. But there is also a way that you can check whether the device is CID unlocked is when you turn on your phone, but it has been a while since I CID unlocked my device so i don't remember that, however here is the link where you can find the CID unlocking software and its procedure. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311403.

3. Lastly just follow the steps I listed in my earlier posts in the forum about how to flash a ROM on Artemis. Here is a really nice ROM that you can flash on your Artemis http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=542428...it's a WM6.5 :)

I hope this shall be helpful!! and my apologies for the late reply to all.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] lunakirb:
hello thanks for notifying us..

my phone is sim unlock im sure of that i have used it with many SIM but security unlock im not sure,,on #2 that USPL by pof, do we need to run tru uspl everytime we're going to flash a new cooked rom? or once u flashed the update SPL no need to flash it again

thank you :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] peppercon:
@lunakrib

You just need to CID unlock your device once, you don't need to do it every time you flash a new ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tomo:
-not the best of photos, but you'll get the drift. If anyone wants better ones, just let me know
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quarintus:
Nice :). Not that the phones look like eachother, but still funny to see. People who have the universal rate it high.

What grades would u give to both phones concerning the useablitiy?

Just from looking at it, I would prefer the TP2 for typing and watching movies.

Strange thing btw, everyone says the screen is briliant and you can see everything, even in the sun. but on photo's it realy glares a lot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
I think it's because the screen dims after a few secs if you don't touch it. To save battery life.

Yeah it's cool to look at both machines but the second pic is a bit too blurred to see. Sorry... ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
I´m happy to find this thread!

As an proud Universal owner as primary buisness oriented device I have been waiting patiently to find the perfect replacement for my Uni, but 4 years later nothing worth to look.

TP2 is a good candidate as it has better specs in almost all, but still missing the form factor swiveling screen as Uni is really more like a micro lap top with phone than a phone with nice stuff like TP2.

I´m still no sure that TP2 can really be Uni succesor but at least is a posibility

I´ll wait till the ends of 09 to see what new models comming from HTC or Toshiba and then I´ll make my desicion on what device to buy to replace my Uni (If replaceble)

Cheers,

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=1751&id2=313
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
From all the threads I read that you have posted, you really do love your little Universal. He he he... Not saying it's a bad thing. I respect people like you, people that knows exactly what they want and won't jump and just buy anything that is new.

It really does take a lot of patients. You will make a good equity trader! Waiting for 4 years is a long time mate! Perseverance of finding the perfect handset is hard to hold.

Me, I am waiting to buy my first full QWERTY handset, the TP2. I hope the wait is worth it. Waiting for 4 months is already very hard, don't know how I can wait for 4 years. My hands will be so itchy, there will be no hands left. :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dazultra2000:
For me, the Universal was my dream phone, but the form factor made it utterly impractical for day-to-day use for me.

Now that I have a TP2, I can finally enjoy a universal-class phone in a form factor that is practical.

The keyboard is SO much better than any other HTC device I have used before. Certainly it wipes the floor with the Kaiser keypad. I feel it is more responsive than the Universals.

The screen is just plain tasty, and touchflo has been massively improved.

I am pleased!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] LordLugard:
I-hate-you....NOT. :)

I'm on Sprint (CDMA) and can't wait to get my hands on this provided the rumors about a mid-June launch are true. Was going to get a Palm Pre but will be forced to change my plan to almost double, so TP2 it is.

How is the battery life, ear piece quality and does it get hot? I had the original Touch Pro for a month and took it back because battery life was horrid and it would heat up in the middle of the keyboard area bad after a few mins on Opera. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dazultra2000:
Battery life so far is on par with my TyTNII. It's not great, but it's not terrible!

It hasn't got hot for me yet, but I've not really been pushing it.

Not made enough calls to comment on the quality of the earpiece yet, but the speaker is louder than my TyTNII (though sounds a bit more "echoey")

Main concern at the moment is there is no lens cover on the back shell as with most other phones. It's just a hole that leads through to the main camera sensor lens...hoping I don't scratch it!

Oooh and the ambient light sensor and g-sensor are cool!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ed_bracam:
Exactly the same for me, in 2005 when I bought the Wizard, my dream was the Universal. I bought it last year and keeped it only 6 month (unpractical).

True with the htc roms. False with the last radio. With last radio the battery life is excellent and with the last M2D and WM6.5 it terrible!!!

If the Pro 2 is something between TyTn2 and Universal, it's perfect for me. If the bluetooth stack works fine with my S705, doesn't matter for the FM radio (it's integrated in my S705).

I wanted it in Orange offer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Steve-C:
I once had a Uni, 'upgraded' to the TYTNII and am now waiting to see if my carrier will have the TP2. Whilst the newer phones out perform the Uni (for me!) I still wish that I could get something with the guts of a TYTNII in the casing of a Uni. That was a brilliant device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dazultra2000:
Snapped some of my own pics for you guys to ponder over.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
Thanks for pictures. Nice one!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Great comparison pictures!

Thanks a lot!

Besides the size and RAM I´m still choosing Universal!:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tomo:
As a fellow Universal afficionado, I share your view of how great a device it is, but apart from the RAM and size there's the GPS, higher connection speeds, screen & camera capability. These things might not be important to everyone, but made me make the change (still have the Universal though)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] billu:
My Universal is long gone, Touch Pro 2 is the new King!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] beast0898:
+1 for the Uni lovers.

I still haven't found a replacement for my Uni.

It is still by far the most practical business PDA / UMPC on the market.

I am waiting for a TP2 to arrive, and have been highly disappointed with the Raphael. (my fault for jumping in and buying one without doing my research first) I could never get used to the tiny 2.8 screen or the little keyboard.

My Uni still makes me smile every time I use it, it has never let me down (and I've had it since they were first released) robust, decent keyboard (with tilt and flip, so no issues of not being able to see the screen whilst typing comfortably) The only let down for my poor Uni is lack of GPS, with the 128mb ram upgrade I managed to make her last a bit longer as a primary device, but eventually had to get an "All-In-One " device that was more practical for everyday use.

I hope the Rhodium lives up to the reviews and has better reception amongst other things over the TP.

LONG LIVE THE UNI :D

I'll post some pics of my devices for peoples enjoyment (Still have a fully functional Wallaby at home too)

Cheers,

Beasty;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Johny58:
Here's another post from a Universal fanboy :)

I've been using the Universal exclusively for almost 4 years now. Except for a big mistake I made when I ordered a Glofiish M800 and used that for a couple of days, got rid of that one real quick, and since I exchanged it for a Qtek 9000 I made that wrong right again. So I now own an MDA Pro a Qtek 9000 and... since 2 days, a Touch Pro 2.

I have to start out with saying that I personally always carried the Universal with me in my pocket. I Never had an issue with it's size. And as for the real reason I got a new device? Well you know, I want to see myself as a sort-of early adapter and since that Universal was way ahead of it's time, and I pre-orderd that device in spring 2005, I just wanted something new to play with. Why it took so long for anyone to release a device that even came close to the Universal is beyond me.

Personally I never really used a lot of local applications on the Uni. Except for the phone, sms and calender functions and navigation software the thing I used the most by far was remote desktop. The size of the screen, the resolution the AWESOME keyboard and the UMTS and Wifi connections really let me use my workstation and server to their full potential, ANYWHERE in the world.

While I did flash the device with new versions of Windows Mobile that I found on this forum I never really owned a device with TouchFlo on it. Obviously I did play around with TouchFlo on devices that friends and colleagues owned.

After having used the device for about a day these are the things I noticed when I compare it to our beloved Uni's:

TP2 Pro's:

-Size: Like I said, the size never bothered me, but as I was used to the Universal the Touch Pro2 is TINY

-Resolution: 800x480 beats 640x480, especially when using Remote Desktop.

-HSDPA

-Internal GPS

-Conference call option in TouchFlo (which someone on this forum has probably hacked into the Uni already as well)

-Just having something new already :)

-Audio call quality is higher

-Keyboard is almost as good as the Uni's

TP2 Cons:

-While I never used it, I just don't get why there's no mini-jack connection

-No flash: While I used the flash on the Universal as a flash light most of the time and not as a flash for the camera I just don't get why they couldn't at least put a LED light on the device.

-No TAB-key on the keyboard. I really miss this when filling in forms online.

-The slide-and-tilt formfactor is ok, but not as good as what the Uni does. When the screen on the TP2 is fully tilted It's difficult to press the number keys (top row). Also when I carried the Uni in my pocket the screen was always well protected. I guess it takes some getting used to as well.

-Keyboard is ALMOST as good as the Uni's
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Great comparative with pics that give an idea of sizes comparison!

Thanks a lot for this!

Every new year comes I think if HTC would do again something on the form factor of Universal: A micro lap top with phone functions!! but nothing...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CerB:
Hi

In the diamond 1 you could have all my albums in touchflo player, and scroll trough them, but i can only 1 song at time on diamond 2, what iam i doing wrong ? cant we have all albums ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
The TF3D music tab displays only your "Now Playing" songs. If you are playing through a single album, you will only see that one album cover on-screen. It is NOT like the iPhone's coverflow where you can flip through the album covers to select what to play next.

If you create a playlist containing say ten songs, each from a different album, and then start playing that, then you will see on the screen the first three covers and you can flip through them one at a time.

This is pretty useless and I don't recall ever flipping through the covers in that way except when I want to go "ooh pretty".

It's another reason I've dumped TF3D. Pretty but useless.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CerB:
thats very diffrent from dianond 1, there i had all my albums on the "music player", this on diamond 2 sucks. the only wayto have more songs is if i create playlists, and that sucks much, would have been much easier to be able to pick an entire album to scroll trough on player screen
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] BeeGee_Tokyo:
On my Touch Diamond I had used this ATI D3D driver, Diamond D3D Video drivers which made TF3D faster.

I installed it on my Diamond 2 now and I have the feeling its speeding up a little bit as well.

Is the same graphic chip used on the Diamond and Diamond 2?

Anybody made the same experience?

Heyho!

I'll test it later on Diamond1 and today evening on Diamond2..

I didn't recognize this driver before.. but seems to be great :)

Thank you!

In fact, seems that the original was faster than this one...

I wonder which rom version you guys have...

Has anyone ran the benchmarks?

HastaSSSS

ROM date 04/07/09

Radio version 3.43.25.19

Protocol version 61.20t.25.10U

I did not make benchmark, but I knew from my Diamond that this driver brought speed to TF3D. Feeling is the same for Diamond 2, TF3D is faster.
