Has the Blackstone have stereo speakers then? cause if not, there has to be a quality diffrence when playing stereo music (set sound options to stereo in coreplayer)

Also, the blackstone is a multi media phone and I suspect it has a pretty good speaker.

The speakers for the TP2 are probably optimized for speech and not for music. At least you would think, it being a bussiness phone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ed_bracam:
You told about GSM radio layer or FM radio???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] karlpj:
GSM, there is no music radio.

also I have added this point to the list;

Sunlight: visible under sunlight. Blackstone is not visible under sunlight. Really nice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] karlpj:
It has two speakers but as I said there is no difence of quality with Blackstone. If they are stereo or not is not relevant as the quality is not that great and they are too near to notice the stereo. This doesn't mean that the speaker is bad compared to other phones. It simply means that it is not better than blackstone and this product was suppose to have the dual speakers as a diferenciated selling point.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Link278:
thats disappointing because a blackberry pearl with 2 speakers plays music VERY good and the bass is so good on the pearl it is almost shocking, I thought that HTC would top that cause they make better quality phones
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mallman:
yes it is for sounds quality and as a blackstone owner I think the quality is far better than the blackstone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
When you said that the video playback is not jerky.

1. What codec movie are you playing?

2. What resolution size?

3. Which player did you use?

4. Did you need to re-encode your movies to play on the Rhodium?

5. Are the pictures in sync with with the sound?

I play a lot of videos on my HD and I would like to know if I can play videos without encoding all my movies.

When you place the phone down with the screen tilted, the speakers are on the bottom, right? How does affect the sound coming out of the speakers? Does it get blurred?

What is the speed of files transfers from your PC to the Rhodium? Is it faster than the HD?

Has they fixed the thread SMS? On the HD, when you use thread messaging, the on screen keyboard hides the entry box. You had to hide the keyboard and then show it again to show the entry box so you know what you are typing. I know the Rhodium has a keyboard, but what if you use the on screen keyboard to send SMS.

Thanks in advance for your answers, I am still waiting for the Rhodium to come out here. Can't wait to found out. Cheers!

Maybe I am missing something but I have a Tilt / Kaiser and a relative just got the Fuze / TP1. I only messed around with the Fuze for a few hours but I found the Tilt to have a higher quality, and louder, speaker. For those w/ a TP2, how does the speaker compare to those (I've never used a Blackstone)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] karlpj:
About the video player questions:

I was using core player. Perhaps I have been unlucky but I have been unable to get blackstone playing smoothly movies. I was trying mainly podcast from itunes that didn't have really too much resolution. But even them were jerky.

This phone doesn't have the same problem but I have not tried higher resolutions. I'm nearly sure that will fail in high res as the phone is not that different.

I didn't encode again. The sound was on sync. To be honest Blackstone plays videos worse than kaiser, except if you encode them again.

It is a lot more confortable to see videos in a table with rhodium compared with blackstone because the tilt screen. With blackstone I was forced to hold it with my hand or to fight with the phone trying to place it tilted with some object as support.The speaker is in the botton and the sound it is ok. Obviously would be better in the front.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] karlpj:
I had the kaiser also. The speaker of the kaiser is similar to blackstone and rhodium. It is disapointing how little has evolved this part of the phone. kaiser had a loud speaker but I was specting something better now.

hey, I'm new to the forum, and have never tried any mods or anything, but I found out that I can turn the screen of my phone around from the meny, but each time I go out in touch flo again, it turns back.. is there a way to make touch flo and windows to turn as I turn the phone? using G-sensor, like with images :) Sorry if this has been posted before, but I tried a search, and thanks for answers or links to answers :)
[Touch HD General] michi123:
The stock TF3D is simply not designed to work in landscape (you get ugly stripes on the right third of the display if you try...).
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
He's correct, since it sounds like you're on a stock ROM, you will not be able to do this since you have the 'old' manila. You would have to flash your phone to one of the cooked ROMs which has the new manila which (among other things/improvements) supports landscape. For more information, go to the Blackstone>Rom Development section of xda and read up on the stuff through the wiki.
[Touch HD General] alex160:
any special roms you would recomend? I heard about the tf3d2.. sounds interesting! got a link to a rom that is made off that one?
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
Once again, "go to the Blackstone>Rom Development section of xda and read up on the stuff through the wiki." You'll find everything you need there, almost every ROM cooked in the last couple months has the new manila, not to mention that the cooks clearly state in their thread which manila their ROM is using, so you will have no problem finding what you want. Even moreso, there are threads in the ROM section which break down the different ROMs by various categories, including manila used.

OK, in general i want a rom made for tmobile with all the bells and whistles a theme for tf3d im not to fond of the 6.5 home screen so it doesnt need to be included in rom ....main point im willing to DONATE :D and it will get you more than a beer...for this pm me for more info or hit me on my email thatruth132@hotmail.com...thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] guevr001:
T Mobile

Try this cab, no need to have someone cook it(not that you will have much luck finding someone)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] guevr001:
Page pool

I think this what your looking for, To change start up screen simply search vga pagepool or something like that and you manually change it using Advanced Config 3.3 .... good luck and best to search before starting a new thread, again I know you want someone to cook a rom but you can always pick you favorite cook and modify yourself. I hope this helps, good luck
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] thatruth132:
thank very much for your fast reply but im looking for a newer build and to be honest im using that skin now.....hopefully i can get some one to do this for me ....
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] B4PJS:
Try my ROM with the T-Mob theme installed from cab and if you like I can prob cook you up a one-off (link is in my sig)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] thatruth132:
i am looking for a theme i guess that is more to the red and black side or red and white with a tmobile sign in the background ..i tried your rom its very nice and smoth wthe way i like them with games and all but i have a list of things i want installed so i want it built
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] HelterSkelter67:
why don't you list what you want in the rom?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] thatruth132:
mostly the same as the the energy rom 'the latest' one but with the latest my faves app and a few of my paid apps
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dwny:
Sounds like you need to get a kitchen & start cooking......!

You were give a ROM customized for T-Mobile but you spit it out.

T-mo backgrounds can be found all over the place....as for paid apps, you gotta install those yourself.

Do the forum a favor, create this custom T-Mo ROM you want and share the finished product with us all.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] thatruth132:
you have a strong point ...and i do agree i am very capable of doing this but , i get really busy doing the house husband thing ...but i do have a cooker that i can turn to for help with this .....be looking for this rom to blow unlocked fuzes...lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] thatruth132:
hey dwny, do u cook
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NRGZ28:
So basically you want my ROM.. with a few of your apps cooked in. Sounds like an easy thing to do. You have two options:

1). UC all your apps and have them install automagically. > Easy

2). Ask the original rom creator (umm.. me.. lol) to do it for you. PM or IM me :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dwny:
No....I don't cook !

Can I cook or have I cooked....Yes !

I've cooked for my MDA & TILT successfully but haven't released anything public. That's by choice. I don't have the time to follow up and I suck at graphics. Basically, you'd be on your own with my ROM !

As far as the Raphael, new ROMs are coming out everyday. I personally haven't looked at a kitchen yet but I've gotten every ROM I flashed to work the way I want. If a ROM has an annoyance that I can't work around....I move on to the next.

I have my own little routine of tweaks & programs to make any ROM my own once on my device.

I'm not technically savvy so here goes. I just purchased a playstation 3 and want to connect it wirelessly using my touch xv6900 via tethering. I know how to get my phone to tether with my computer. Just wondering if there's anyway to do it with ps3. I'm using NSFAN's 6.5 v6. Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] commandant83:
mmmh, not sure if this would work, id try it but i only have an xbox,

1. tether with your phone and pc

2. connect your playstation to your pc using a cross over rj45

3. manually bridge the connection

again i have no clue if this would work, but thats what i would try.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] warrenmrogers:
Hi! My kid put a password on my phone and now I can't get into it. I try to hard reset it using the Volume down + Enter + reset method, but it isn't working. Is that normal? Am I just doing something incorrectly? I have hard reset my touch pro this way many times so I am sure I am doing the process correctly, but is there some built-in feature that prevents a hard reset from the passcode screen? Thanks for any answers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] warrenmrogers:
nevermind, i figured it out. Had to reset it using a method I haven't heard of before.

with the phone OFF, hold VOLUME DOWN and ENTER then hold down the POWER button until prompted to reset!

all other methods involved hitting the soft reset key

Nope, blame Garmin. They are the only ones that really like the ABCDE keyboard layout...

You can set up whether the map is oriented to you (preferred) or always north. You can also set whether to display the speed limit or not... along with map detail and your displayed vehicle, otherwise there are not too many options.

How would I put the htc magic camera and camcorder found in haykuro's rom into the jf1.5 based rom from cyanogen?

[Touch HD General] coreire:
Hi,

I'm buying a windows mobile based phone, and so far every one I've looked at has some kind of design flaw.

I've already bought and returned a HTC Touch Diamond, because it had a nasty orange cloudy patch on 1 part of the screen.

What I've found so far is:

Touch Diamond: Orange clouds on screens, and random phones with bad contrast.

Xperia X1: Phone housings just crack of their own accord, not due to abuse.

Touch Diamond 2: Allows dust to get between the screen and the touch panel. (This is especially bad for me as I work in a very dusty environment, so the phone would end up full of dust pretty fast.)

I really like the look of the Touch HD, and after searching so far I haven't found reports of any flaws.

So does the Touch HD have any of the above flaws, or any flaws at all?

Or if anyone can name any WM based phones that have specs similar to the above I'd appreciate it, preferably VGA resolution or above.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch HD General] moshbeard:
Well early on there were a lot of people complaining the paint wore away from the metal casing very quickly, although this never happened to me. I don't think there are too many common problems or at least none that I've had myself.
[Touch HD General] mouki_9:
the paint chipping happened to me also, especially around the mini usb connector and also around the stylus area. The edges of the screen are also starting....

Small detail, not very annoying, but hurts when you paid like 500 euro for the device.
[Touch HD General] aussiebum:
have had it for just over a month, I think the raised metal section on the back cover seems to scratch fairly easily (a bit like the X1's back cover, actually) - I would advise putting InvisibleShield or something similar *specifically* on that section.

back cover is a *whee* bit loose from me pulling it open and closed to hard / soft reset the HD, but otherwise of issues.

Wish it had a lanyard hole, though.
[Touch HD General] nicelad_uk:
Buttons don't light up... How can you see the buttons in the dark? There are little ways of reflecting the screen light, but you know what I mean, buttons that don't light up?!?!?

Smallest ever notification light is on the power button, how you see this when you just put the phone down next to you I have no idea! Bit pointless if you as me.

Back case is a bit 'loose', but thats after constantly taking it off to flash my phone. You could just pad the back with a sticky pad on the inside of the back cover anyway which would stop it from happening.

Haven't had the issue with scratching the 'bulge' around the camera lens, its brushed metal anyway so can't say you'd notice that much.

Other than that, the phone is mint... Get one...
[Touch HD General] andes83:
Well for scratches on the metal casing i don't know cause i always look to put it on something soft when i use on the table or other rough surfaces.I watched a video on youtube which showed how hard is to scratch the screen and the back have a look...

Well i've had mine 2 months, i keep it in the material sleeve it came with and have the screen protector on and as of yet its been fine.

The screen protector could do with being replaced as there are a few scuffs on it. Very good device though, i've been very pleased with mine. I've used iphones and was never impressed by them. The only flaw i would pick up would be windows mobile itself... I do get occasional error messages as per windows desktop but nothing major.

If you don't mind there being no hard keyboard then i'd say its a fantastic device.
[Touch HD General] midaiwang:
It's really very annoying

buy this never happened to me.
[Touch HD General] coreire:
Thanks for all the replies.

If the paint chipping is the only problem I'll buy one, I'll be getting a case for it so hopefully that will protect it.

I'm moving from an iphone which I managed to keep in pristine condition, right up until I lost it :p

I tend to use the web browser quite a bit during the day, what kind of battery life could I expect out of the HD with say 2-3 hours browsing on 3g?
[Touch HD General] 2'NixorNot2'Nix:
Guys

I've searched the forums and realise I can buy a SIM unlock code for my Blackstone, however I'm trying to clarify the following.

1. If I install a different ROM do I still need to buy the unlock?

2. If I changed the EMEI (I want the phone to match my in car fixed EMEI - I realise the blackstone has to be switched off when in the car else conflicts) does that mean the phone has to be unlocked again?

3. Once the phone has been unlocked if I change the ROM will it have to be unlocked again?

What prompted the question is reading the Wiki few areas actually simlock the phones....therefore my assumption is a different ROM means it could become unlocked.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards
[Touch HD General] philfan:
Its an unlocked phone my friend so obviously you pay a higher price for the phone itself able to use with any sim card. Carriers phone that are branded with the carrier logo are usually cheaper with a plan that could cost more then the phone overtime and is locked to the phone carrier which requires a sim unlocking code to use with other sim cards/ other carriers.

The answer to that is you can install any rom on the phone and if it an unlocked htc touch hd which you paid a lot for then it will be unlocked forever

if its locked to a carrier im not sure about that maybe someone can clarify.
[Touch HD General] 2'NixorNot2'Nix:
any ideas please guys, I get the phone in a couple of hours.
[Touch HD General] 2'NixorNot2'Nix:

Anyone?
[Touch HD General] HDuser:
Try to keep this short

1. If I install a different ROM do I still need to buy the unlock?

No Simlock is based on the radio and hardware (short version).

Once unlocked yoiu can up your rom and your radio, it stays unlocked.

2. If I changed the EMEI (I want the phone to match my in car fixed EMEI - I realise the blackstone has to be switched off when in the car else conflicts) does that mean the phone has to be unlocked again?

Got me lost on this one.

Simlock is based on radio and Hardware.

So your IMEI is part of the phone which is either Sim Locked or not.

If you put your sim into what ever is in phone is in your car your number will be the same.

Once you have sim unlocked a device it remains unlocked.

Like I said you lost me.

3. Once the phone has been unlocked if I change the ROM will it have to be unlocked again?

No - Once done it remains unlocked regardless of rom or radio upgrade.

(and if you buy a new Simlocked Blackstrone you cant use your old code as the lock is based on the hardware)

What prompted the question is reading the Wiki few areas actually simlock the phones....therefore my assumption is a different ROM means it could become unlocked.

--->point me to the page that you feel needs updated, i will have a go at it.

(please PM me)

[Mogul, XV6800 General] AnonymousV2:
Hello all, I bought a Titan off eBay to replace my trusty Apache (I'm with Verizon), and have flashed some self-cooked ROMs to it. I'm not too familiar with the ins and outs of flashing, but I've followed a few tutorials and it seems pretty straightforward with PPCKitchen. But the problem is, neither the ringer or camera work in any of the roms I've tried! I've even used several already-made ROMs.

I know both worked when I got the phone, so it must be something that I ****ed up. When I do a test call to my phone, I don't hear any ring (tried setting it to vibrate, doesn't vibrate either) but it does vibrate afterward letting me know I have a missed call. When I load up the camera application, all I get is a black screen instead of live camera feed. When I try to take a photo, I get the error "Unable to capture photo. Unable to get frame data from camera device."

Have I bricked my phone functions somehow or can this be fixed? Big thanks to anyone who can help a confused guy out :confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 General] AnonymousV2:
Ok well after a long ordeal and needing to get a new MicroSD card (Kingston cards dont work for flashing for whatever reason) getting the latest radio fixed everything.
