Getting a TP2? Want to ask a Question before you get it? This is the place...

Any new threads about either of these topics will be merged into this thread...

</MOD EDIT>​

so excited that i have got my rhodium i decided to start a thread so people who share my excitement when they 1st got theirs can post! hope the moderator don't close me down.................

it is beautiful and so slim considering what is under the hood! been trying that dual speakerphone system and it works well. tried using in noisy environment and it auto fades out surrounding noise so you can hear what other person is saying! still cant stop the wind blowing into speakers though!:D

interesting to see what battery life will be on this thing as that could be its achiles heel! added coreplayer via cab and it works well. videos look stunning! the tilt screen is much stiffer so it don't flop about like on my old kaiser/tilt. used to think the screen on my kaiser would fall off at anytime! it would be nice if people posted the their initial feelings of the device wen 1st received and thoughts after a few days of use. i will be!

thanks all :cool:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
will do. still putting it through its paces as we speak. no freezes or untimely reboots as yet. added a few apps like tomtom etc. works well. can't get over how beautiful it looks and i am sure everyone who gets one will be happy. can't wait for all the customisations that will be available on here for this device. so exciting!:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ratchetjaw:
awesome and congrats. Mine should be here tomorrow i hope DHL is on time:( What onscreen keyboards dose it have? I am really wanting portrait suretype(compact qwerty) for the times i dont use the HW keyboard
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
got that ez input keyboard on screen. no sure type or t9 i'm afraid! still the ez input keyboard works well and fully compatible with hardware keypad
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ratchetjaw:
oh ok thanks for the info. I am gonna try and hunt down a suretype cab file that will work with it. It works the best for me for one handed texting
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
if you haven't already check out this very good review on here. it will wet your appetite even more. real in depth review

http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=1139&p=1
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ratchetjaw:
Ok thanks i have seen his unboxing and hardware review gonna check this out. Dang DHL site says clearance delay for the past 2 days. I called and they say it cleared over the weekend and will be here by 5 tomorrow. :D Dang sites not updated. I wish it were fedex but oh well
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
it will be worth it when you do get it! its a thing of beauty! let us know how you felt through your unboxing and initial usage! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ratchetjaw:
ok will do, i am currently using a Telstra touch HD so i figuring this one is gonna be that plus an awesome keyboard for the win :D I am so excited feel like a little kid lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
well i guess this is one of the few times we are allowed to feel like that! after initial 12 hr charge i am gonna put battery through its paces! seems to be an issue from some reviews on web. will see tomorrow and update! can't believe that MS hasn't updated WMP but i got coreplayer and thats a beast! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ratchetjaw:
Oh ok sweet yeah post on the battery if you would. So WMP doesnt play movies well? On my touch hd it seemed to play better than coreplayer for me for some reason. I cant wait to try it out tomorrow :D How is the speaker volume? for music and ringtones
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quarintus:
Keep in mind that it takes like 3 full battery uses and reloads to get the battery on its best.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
yeah i know that but cheers for pointing out. getting its ass kicked today to see how it holds up after 1st charging cycle. gave it overnight charge - 12hrs. really hope battery holds up as this could be the only thing that could be its undoing. however saying that, when all the cooks start building rhodium roms etc i am sure there will be things in place to aid battery life!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
few other things

no spare stylus. searched whole box and nothing.................

slide out mechanism is a bit stiff for my liking but like the sturdier feel to tilt screen. not sure bout purple background and do like the t-mobile look. that will be my 1st enhancement changing clocks and penguin to t-mobile rhodium look! will post screenshots of how it looks once done! very quick scrolling and smooth accross tabs. mem usage 50% as standard. music playback is more than suitable and in my opinion quite good! FINGERPRINT magnet my god! ugh hate that but will have to live with it! screen protector in box but i can never apply without getting bubbles underneath! big fingers/hands. i find tilt suitable enough for watching vids from my desk or table at home! can't wait to see WM6.5 on this machine

edit: still have the issue where i have to untick proxy in connections to get certain web apps working on t-mobile. for example messenger! not a big prob and doesn't slow down connection speed!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quarintus:
I'm hanging on your lips. Don't know if that's a right expression. It dutch translated, that I am waiting eagerly for your findings :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
no worries! posted a few more observations above. must have been typing at same time as you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
finger menu is there and almost instant. synced my hotmail and gmail accounts with no issues. camera is 3 mgp and very adequate in good light conditions. that high res screen makes all the difference. video recording is awesome dude, best performance on any HTC deivice IMHO! call quality is great and very crisp. tv out is there but alas no cable and haven't searched to see if available yet!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:

Hi,

I want to view my Webcam via the internet on my HTC/Excalibur/S620 so I can mointor my dogs when I'm not there, how do I do this?

Has anyone here managed to view their webcams via their HTC ?
[HTC Excalibur] #2!:
Hahahaha URGENT. Why are you going to kill them if they take a whiz on the couch again?
[HTC Excalibur] sjwilson:
re

No I need to monitor them for Noise as the Puppy has been Barking at the other dog when we are out, So If I see any sign of trouble i can call them at home and tell them to ly down or be quite.
[HTC Excalibur] phatmanxxl:
or are you trying to keep an eye on your gf when your out?

I know blackberrys have an app for that, but I havent seen anything for WM.

Theres free software that you can get that automatically turns on the webcam and records when it senses sound or movement.
[HTC Excalibur] sjwilson:
All i want it to be able to view streaming video on my Device is there anyway of doing this?

Can the HTC somehow view pages with Flash EG Youtube?
[HTC Excalibur] torade:
To view pages like Youtube you can use Skyfire web Browser

nobody for help us out?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] brannutz:
I did a search so forgive me if this has been answered already.

I just noticed that when setting wallpaper in TF3D that it seems to downscale the resolution of the wallpaper to a lower more pixelated version instead of the nice high res original that you can view via the album.

In the album it looks amazing but as a wallpaper it doesn't look as nice.

What is the deal with this? Is there any kind of fix to get full res wallpapers?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Chainfire:
The album app doesn't make it a proper wallpaper. It lowers the quality and resolution, saves it as JPG. TF3D then stretches it.

For proper background you need to copy it to your computer and use CFC GUI or Maranell0's background tool.

[General Questions and Answers] alex_time:
In the last days, I am thinking about the many features last devices have, and "poor" WM functions...

I had a Universal, then a Kaiser, and now a Raphael, and...I mean, big hardware development has been made, but, the SO is almost the same, and I do not think we are using the real potential of our devices, isn't it?!

I mean, we can read email, but what I would really want is to have ALL my emails with me in my PDA and in my Pc, to use more than one email account, but, the only way to have ALL our emails synced in our PDAs and PCs, is paying for an Exchange Server access, but, we can use only ONE Exchange server, so we have to switch to IMAP, but using IMAP means using third part software because the WM email client does not allow us to store sent email in the right IMAP server folder (which can change from server to server), and, if I use a third part software for email, I cannot use the latest HTC "people centric communication feature", I cannot use the latest TF3D2 mail page, etc...so have an advanced email system is not possible yet...correct me if I am wrong.

But I want go deeper. Most of the things we can do today with our devices (like surfing the net) it is almost not possible "on the go", it is very difficult reply an email while I am walking, or while I am driving, it is difficult read a post on this forum and replay here, it is difficult write a text message without using both hand for the stylus or with an hardware keyboard...I mean, doing things like these are easy if we are sitted down, with both hands free, and if I should be sitted down with both hands free, I also could use a laptop, or netbook, or something like that. MS has made Voice Command, but only in three languages....

What I am trying to say is that what we really need in our devices is a completely different approch, would be useful if I am in my car, I receive a text message or email, and my device can READ it for me , or if I have to write a text, I can dictate it to my device. I would like that my phone reads my RSS while I am driving, because it CPU can handle a job like this.

We have 500/600 Mhz CPU for doing what? Appreciate graphical game on TF3D2?! In the next month will be sold a new device with a 1Ghz CPU for doing what?! The same things we are doing today?!

And think about Android, a young operating system that is 2 years old that almost do the same things that our MS operating system does from 1999?! Why we are changing our devices? What has been offered to us to justify spending 500/600/700 USD or EUR for new devices?

What do you do with your phone? Send some email? trying to open 10 web pages per day? Manage a calendar? Use a navigation software? I almost could do the same things with a cheapear phone, I phone that I must not reset once a day!

Sorry for my post and for the bad English, but something is not very clear in my mind...Am I becoming crazy?!
[General Questions and Answers] Solanos:
My friend you are absolutelly right.

I have changed many phones and have used different operating systems and i can say that more or less they are all the same. So the phones are not so innovative as the hardware allows them to be. Maybe the programmers have something else in mind when they develop new user interfaces but that something is getting old... The most innovative thing i have seen in a handset is in one of nokia's "cheaper" phones the e-50 which can read your messages. It's small but it's something! plus you don't have to pay a month's sallary to get it right? I believe that the only reason for this stagnancy (i don't know if this is a word :P) is that each company is hesitating to try something new just because people buy the devices as they are, which probably means they like them. So why change something???

I wish that people with ideas like yours were the ones making the OS. Things would be very different then.

I really liked your post it makes you wonder....
[General Questions and Answers] + Que PPC:
simply insane!!!

why are you make questions here like that?

well if you hate WM devices now... i can buy your Kaiser... sell it to me!

and buy an Iphone...
[General Questions and Answers] speed_pour:
Lack of comparative discussion

What bothers me a little about the diatribe is that it doesn't account for the ways in which the OTHER mobile operating systems fall equally short. I don't believe that any other phone has shown itself to be measurably superior on any of the issues discussed. Don't peg it all on WM...

Don't get me wrong, there's really no excuse for the limitations of MS's own mobile OS when interacting with MS's Exchange technology.

Some have tried to fake voice control, and there's even a couple of apps that have been around for several years that make some minor steps in the right direction, but none of them function well enough to be considered 90% functional (which would seem to be the general expectation for consumer targeted devices).

The hardware improvements haven't gone completely to waste, depending on what you're using the phone for. Multimedia, Gaming, and even "Business Use" have gained from the improved hardware. New types of interaction are now possible thanks to g-sensors, lighting detection, better cameras, and proximity sensors. Sure, the full power of the hardware surely isn't realized yet (and considering how quickly the devices are replaced, I doubt it ever will be), but there's a lot happening and we're bound to see a lot more to come.

Don't forget, WM7 is likely to ship with "Tell Me", which is supposedly a pretty powerful update to the MS Voice Command technology and capable of controlling most major phone-related functions. The iPhone will certainly be copying/stealing somebody's voice technology (if not buying up a company outright). Android already has Google working on extended voice features, which will almost certainly translate into what you're asking for. In fact, every complaint mentioned is something that virtually every OS is working on adding in some form or another.

In my opinion, it's the battery and power efficiency that we need to see dramatically improve. The largest limit our phones have, which is why many features have never even been given to these phones, is that certain things drain too much power (like voice processing). If battery life improves, count on seeing a lot of these other features appearing in short order.
[General Questions and Answers] alex_time:
Simply because I would like to know what others users and developers think...I have to said to let our devices fly outside the window, or said something offensive...Our devices today are much more usefull than the stock version just because there is a community like this where people develop piece of software or port entire rom, and I very thank all of theme. Playing with our device is also a hobby, but i really believe that big companies like HTC and others, should do a better work on these devices for how much they cost. That's it.
[General Questions and Answers] alex_time:
You are partially right, I am not having other OS since 2004, I do not want to say the others are better, I say that if I pay my PDA 700 EUR against 350 for another phone that does "almost" the same things...I pay 700 EUR but I would like something more...stable, or more advanced.

I partially agree with you, just to report some example, I left my Kaiser for my Raphael, and my Raphael has g-sensor, it also had the old HCT Album 2.5 which rotated pictures using the g-sensor, and this was a must using the TV-OUT cable, but now, with HTC Album 3, the g-sensor rotate features is gone...so when you see picture on the TV using the TV-OUT cable, you cannot rotate photos any more..why?! Or what about the latest TF3D2 with its calendar tab?! Yes, it is cool, but it require 10 seconds to show all the appointments on each month...while the old calendar app is fast. What I mean is that I feel that they do not make a "perfect" phone while they could, because nobody will buy another phone after, I feel like they always miss something, or left something not working (like the GD driver on Kaiser) so that people continue spending money buying new devices.

I am anxious to see some "really" improvements on this side, but I also think that MS has waited to much for doing something...

I totally agree with you

I have a HTC/Excalibur/S620 and I would like to view my webcam on it while I'm not there, Now I know how to Broadcast to the internet but there is One problem Internet Explorer does not support Flash.

Now is there any way at all I can view my webcam on my HTC/Excalibur/S620 ??

Please I need help Iv'e be on the web all day.
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
Not sure about the web cam but about IE problem I would recommend to flash another ROM that includes the new IE6 so you can have flash and watch videos

Have a look into energy or Kavana ROM´s on Excalibur section

Hi, I'm a Mac user. Anyone know how can I sync calendars, contacts, mail and other things how for example photos?:confused:
[G1 General] muzicman0:
I just set my wifes mac up to sync contacts and calendar. There is a thunderbird plugin to sync contacts, and I don't remember what I used for the calendar, but I found it via a google search. I do remember that the solution that I used required OS X 10.5 or better. I will see what I can find tonight when I get home...pretty sure I bookmarked the site I used for a tutorial.
[G1 General] muzicman0:
oh yeah, I think the contact sync plugin for thunderbird was zindus...

(http://www.zindus.com/faq-thunderbird-google/)

mm0
[G1 General] muzicman0:
and here is a link for the calendar...obviously, I set her up on Thunderbird, however, I believe it will also work with iCal.

[G1 General] velazcod:
If you only need to sync the contacts, you can use the Address Book, it has built-in capabilities to sync with google (gmail). However, if you also would like to sync google's calendar with iCal, then you would need to take a different route.

1) if you don't use thunderbird, start using it and install the plug-in mentioned above.

2) Pay for Spanning Sync, it costs some money (i think is $20/year or so).

3) Use the google calendar straight from the browser, forget about iCal, and use the Address Book to sync contacts

I took the 3rd option, I sync my contacts using the built-in sync option in Address Book, and as for my calendar I just use the browser, I got used to it and it works for me!
[G1 General] iDelly:
Thanks a lot, but does the built-in sync in Address Book sync also the contact from Mac to google contacts?
[G1 General] The Spirit:
your mac can sync without any additional progs with google.

i sync my ical app with google (from my mac)

i sync my adresse bock with google (from my mac)

i sync my contacts app with google (from my mac)

and then i sync my g1 with google (calender, adresse bock and contacts). now, everything is in sync with each other. if i change something on my mac, online or on the g1 it is synced to both other parts.
[G1 General] iDelly:
How can I do that? I used this:

http://lifehacker.com/393855/enable-google-contact-sync-without-an-iphoneipod-touch

http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99358

But now on g1 there isn't my contacts and calendars.......
[G1 General] velazcod:
Weird, CalDAV never worked for me, I just tried it again for curiosity and it worked.
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
The lovely thing about having a Linux Kernel is that we can do a lot to optimize it.

I figured it would be a great idea to set up a thread where we can bring all these optimizations into one place.

Mind you, I'm no expert by any means...

For my (possibly useless) contribution:

When we compile the kernel to the G1, do we compile it with the general Arm eabi? If so, is that made for ALL ARM cpu's? We have an ARM6 in our G1's. If we set it up to optimize to ARM6, can we set it up to use the CPSID/CPSIE instruction instead of the SWP instruction? Are the drivers open source? Can we recompile them to do the same also? To learn more about why, read this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=516223

That's where I got the idea from.

Anyhow, whatever you guys post here, I will add to this post. Also, to the people to compile the kernels, can you answer my questions?
[G1 Android Development] bananajama:
answers to some of your questions.

hi i usually don't post here since i am not a developer but in this case i think i can answer some of your questions (since i sometime make custom kernels for my laptop). kernel optimazation is used to removed excessive drivers and services from the kernel that you don't need that slows down your computer or in this case phone. i believe htc already does this when they configured android for the g1. most cell phone manufactures already do this to ensure that there products processor use energry efficiently and and run as smoothly as possible.

yes, arm eabi is made for all general arm cpu's i believe you can complie it for arm 6 specifically though. how do you know that htc hasn't already optimize the kernel for that specific processor? also if they didn't you wouldn't really see any noticible speed improvements by compliling the kernel for this specific processor.

no, futhermore they don't offer the drivers for the g1 except execpt for the usb driver so your computer can recognise the g1 as mass storage device.

i don't know sorry. thats all i know i'm really not a kernel, coding expert i hope this helps in your task.
