Hey NRGZ28,

Big fan of your miniweather 1.0 especially due to it being implemented in script so I was able to customize it's features a little :)

Anyway, I am very happy with my current WM6.1 Dash, but would like to add some features that are in WM 6.5.

Your ROM includes the TOP feature I want - IE6. Yeah - it's a bit slow and takes up memory, but I need a local browser that can accurately display desktop webpages - I don't want to use a proxy browser like skyfire due to security issues.

So, I actually just purchased a Verizon Ozone (i.e. HTC Snap) and even though it is WM 6.1, it looks like it includes IE6. (I am returning the ozone because they want an extra $30/mo to allow BT/Wifi tethering ON TOP of the $30/mo for unlimited data!)

One thing I noticed about the IE6 in the ozone was that there is a mouse arrow/hand that the d-pad controls. You can see how it looks/operates in this little wmv video (4MB) I recorded:

http://www.omnisoft.com/downloads/missingIE6arrow.wmv

As you can see that arrow/hand helps tremendously in selecting links on a webpage.

But for some reason, there is no such arrow in the IE6 in your rom - so it makes it very difficult to accurately hilight desired links/hotspots. Not having this arrow also confuses users as to why when they click the d-pad left/right/up/down that they have to repeat the presses a few times before the screen starts scrolling in a new direction (theres a delay) - If the arrow was visible then they would see that these non-action clicks were really moving the arrow across the screen and the screen won't start to scroll until the arrow reaches it's limit in that direction, then it starts pushing/scrolling the page in that direction.

I am a programmer and one thing that I noticed that may help you get the arrow displaying is that if I use a screen capture app to capture the screen of IE6, it WONT capture the arrow - meaning that the arrow seems to be drawn using some other method that the screen capture app cant see.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could get the arrow working :) P.s. I made a little donation if that helps with the motivation to fix this issue ;)
[HTC Excalibur] EngineerMind:
Speaking of Miniweather 1.0...

Do you have any tips on how to get it working on the homescreen of your/this WM 6.5 ROM?

(i.e. the "Welcome Center" listing in chome editor is red and wont allow me to display that panel)

-John
[HTC Excalibur] EngineerMind:
Darn, another thing I forgot to ask...

It is possible to copy IE6 related files from your rom to my WM 6.1 dash to add IE6 to WM 6.1, or is this not possible?

If it is possible, do you know which files I should copy over?
[HTC Excalibur] hoosierace:
Thanks... However I believe many would like to have this included as a FREEWARE accessory on their phone.
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
Let's suppose I have 2 sim cards from different operators. Will I have to make this setup twice? One for each sim? Or these settings are saved on the phone and are used for both sim's?

Regards.

Fix for MMS

Soooo is there anyway at all for a workaround with the MMS issue until the new update comes out, cuz getting messages after the expiration date is really getting old.
[HTC Excalibur] Bigmannyjr:
The only "workaround" I know of is to flash the other cooks WM6.5 ROM. He just released a new version. MMS is a big part of my phone use, I did't want to be without it.
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
I'll let NRG shed more light on this but from what I've learned in "chef" school, the older MMS doesn't seem to mix well with the newer SYS versions. I have tried both on my "daily driver" Dash and I found that having the newer SMS/MMS installed makes life much easier fromt he standpoint of messaging. Also, having SMS and MMS together gives you much more flexibility as both are threaded like SMS in the same conversations, which, is nice to have (and MMS comes up as a little icon link in the threaded conversation)... All comes down to preference I guess.
[HTC Excalibur] ralph1o1:
I think this rom has been aborted.
[HTC Excalibur] EngineerMind:
I also personally like the SMS/MMS grouped together.

Hi guys,

Have a TyTn II (Kaiser), am in Australia, on the 3 Network.

Been playing around and using Kaiser Kitchen have managed to burn myself a few ROMS and updated my phone.

However, I no longer have the option to make video calls.

So, is this a radio issue or dialer issue (or both) ? (or base ROM??)

And anyone from Oz (or elsewhere) suggest a good radio and/or dialer to use to regain video calling??

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Informator:
Hey everyone, It's been really interesting reading the comments here, especially regarding T-Mobile and their riduclous failure to release the phone properly. I have a question about my new upgrade to the TD2...

I am just finishing a contract with Orange - one of the reasons I went with them is because they always have the HTC handsets and I love them. I called up to ask if they were getting it in and told they didn't know. I then asked for my PAC code and the guy at retentions (whose job is to stop me leaving) asked me why. I informed him that I am extremely particular about which handset I get and T-Mobile have it whilst Orange don't. He then had the nerve to argue with me! He kept telling me that only Orange get HTC phones, it's an exclusive contract, etc. I calmly told him that it was an HTC phone that T-Mobile were getting but rebranded. Our conversation went something like:

"Why are you leaving Orange after 7 years?"

"Because I want the HTC Touch Diamond2 and you don't have it."

"Neither do T-Mobile."

"Yes, they do."

"No they don't." (:rolleyes:)

"Really, they do. It's called the MDA Compact 5."

"I'm looking at their website right now and it's not listed there"

"I know it isn't. But there are numerous press releases confirming it, not to mention I just spoke to them personally."

"Are you thinking of the G1?"

"NO. It's the HTC Diamond 2."

"Only Orange have HTC phones. It's exclusive."

...etc until I lost patience and told him that this was one of the reasons I was leaving Orange.

I have always been someone who attaches to a network directly rather than through a reseller, but I've discovered that some of these online places like MobilePhonesDirect do rather better deals for new contracts than the networks themselves do. I was thinking of the 18 month Combi 30 + WnW - the handset would be free which is better than T-Mob do themselves! (http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/Brands/HTC/b509/n447/p10957.aspx)

My question is, given that I'm giving up on 7 years-worth of loyalty bonuses, would it be better to go to T-Mob via MPD or go direct and pay more for the handset? Am I at any disadvantage from buying from a reseller?

Cheers for your help!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [SXOC]Will:
I left Orange aeons ago, after running with them for 18 months with my Tytn 1; their data packages were laughable then (4 pounds a month for 5MB) and although are better now, still pathetic compared to other operators. No idea why they don't sort out their attitudes towards data given the fact they carry internet phones.

Anyway, original question - a D2 off ebay is between £350-400; got mine for £380. I now have a 30 day rolling contract for £17 from O2 - 600 mins, 1200 texts, unlimited web. The maths doesn't support it really - you can get a D2 on a similar contract for £25 a month on a 24 month contract (£600 in total) - compared to my independantly bought handset and contract (£788 if carried for 24 months), I've shafted myself.

On the other hand, I was desparate for a new phone; I'd had a Kaiser for 18 months on T-Mobile (who 3 weeks ago said they would not be doing the HTC Diamond 2 (cretins for not knowing their Vario V is the D2)), and my credit checks wouldn't let me have the D2 on O2.

Also, this does mean I can get the next "must have" phone on contract instead of having to wait 2 years for an upgrade.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LawlessPPC:
i got the touch diamond 2 for free on a 24month contract 600 minutes talk time any network and unlimited text any network for £25 a month its an O2 contract but arranged through i think it mobiles.co.uk just search for touch diamond 2 deals on google. Also first 7months are half price
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Informator:
Cool, thanks for the info. What I was wondering is if it makes any difference going through a reseller regarding upgrades. So, let's say I got an 18 month contract on T-Mobile via one of the reseller sites. Could I then call up T-Mobile and negotiate directly with them for a new contract and phone? And would it make a difference that I didn't originally go directly with them?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niall M:
I had been a customer of O2 for 10 years when I decided to leave to get my mitts on a TD2.

The loyalty only goes so far so I wasn't too fussed to leave. I also had to jump networks to get the best deals from an online reseller (for some reason staying with the same provider yields much worse deals).

I had been on a £15pcm Simplicity tariff with the web bolt-on since my previous phone went out of contract.

I went with the 18 months T-Mobile Combi 30 + WnW plan from Mobilephonesdirect. Had it a month now and pleased as punch. A few advantages of going through a reseller (especially the mobilephones direct deal)

1 - The phone is unlocked and unbranded so when that Windows Mobile 6.5 goodness(?) is released as promised by HTC I won't have to wait and if in 17 months time I want to change provider then I can keep the phone and get a cheap SIM only tariff.

2 - The deals are more competitive. If I'd bought an unbranded TD2 outright and kept my O2 tariff I'd be paying over the odds compared to the "free" handset offered by MPD over the life of the contract. If I'd waited and gone with the T-Mobile version I'm pretty sure I'd be paying three figures for the handset.

3 - With MPDs £50 of accessories offer you can get a 16Gb card for £25 (Yes I know the fact that they charge £75 for it isn't the cheapest, but in real terms it still has only cost me £25 and I now have oodles of storage for MP3s, etc)

4 - My ongoing contract is directly with T-Mobile not MPD so I can start building some T-Mobile "loyalty"

TBH T-Mobile works better than O2 in some places and worse in others to the extent that I think they just about balance out. Just odd to get cut off in the car in places that weren't a problem and then be able to carry on in longstanding O2 blackspots!

My tuppence.

Niall
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munrobasher:
Amazing isn't it... I bought my D2 from mobile phones direct and it's been a perfect experience so far. I actually ordered the phone on the day it came out and was absolutely amazed when it turned up next day, on a Saturday morning.

I'm on the Combi 30+ WnW and the account is with T-Mobile. It appeared on my existing T-Mobile account page on the web. I assume I'll start building loyalty with them again. The phone was free and there was £50 of freebies so bought 8GB card and car charger. ExpanSys charged £50 for the phone and no freebies.

It was rather amusing when I cancelled my old contact and got through to the inertible loyalty team. At least they were english. I tried to point out that I wasn't really leaving T-Mobile, just going sideways. And only did it because T-Mobile didn't (at the time) offer the phone.

So go for it!

Cheers, Rob.

Why not go through carphone warehouse and get the TD2 on orange

you wont loose your loyalty bonuses !!

i dont see what the issue is ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhove:
carphone warehouse will do it for u on orange it will come unlocked to all netwoerks without the stupid operator branding. Am with orange and did mine at the carphone warehouse.

Good Luck buddy;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Informator:
There's no point me going through the Carphone Warehouse as they'd set me up with a new contract, which would defeat the point of having loyalty with Orange. For new contracts, T-Mobile definitely win with the TD2.

Having said all this, Orange did say they'll be launching the Touch Pro 2 soon, so there's always the option of getting that (hopefully free) then selling it on eBay and buying a sim-free TD2 instead. It never gets any easier to make choices, especially now that 18 months seems normal.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niall M:
What's the data plan like on Orange though?

When I was looking to jump ship and was looking at operators direct (as well as through resellers) I found Vodafone and Orange's websites to be almost cryptic as to what, if any, data bundles were included or available seperately.

Pretty useless when your wanting a phone that elevates itself to Smartphone status by virtue of it's many data using features!

When I bought via MPD I went with T-Mobile over the Voda offers purely for the better (and clearer explained...) data tariff. T-Mobile are certainly one of the more progressive operators when it comes to data, and who ever you get your TD2 from or through, be sure that to get the best from the handset you have a good voice AND data plan!

Though I have now learned that my last bill has £6odd on it for simply checking voicemail.......

Niall
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Informator:
A good point - Orange will throw in their data bundle if I stay with them, which at 500MB isn't as good as T-Mobile's 1GB but would be enough for my needs.

The question for me now is do I wait for Orange to give me a good deal and a Touch Pro I can sell, or jump ship to T-Mobile and risk ending up paying much more?

Decisions, decisions...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munrobasher:
Ohh I gave up trying to transfer my PAC code across. It just too much like hard work as I was going from T-Mobile to T-Mobile. The process was request PAC code from T-Mobile, obtain a PAYG SIM with another provider, give them the PAC code and transfer the number to PAYG. Wait a while (!) and then go through the process again to transfer back to T-Mobile.

Of course, each time you want that PAC code they bamboozle you with crap and you'd have to work through the retentions team. They kept going on about end periods, charges etc (T-Mobile this is).

I was expecting to end up without a number at all!

All of this must be complete bull**** as I can see BOTH my accounts on T-Mobile web page so they are on the same computer system with the same provider.

In the end, I simply emailed/text all my friends with the new number. That was far less hassle.

It's things like this that still give the mobile providers a really bad name. Ohh and the fact that I had go through this pain with an Indian call centre at the start and they failed to transfer me three times to retentions.

And to further add salt into the wound, I rang up when I first got my new phone in T-Mobile and they said "Ohh, you can't cancel until 17th June without a charge as that's when the contract runs out". So I duly created a task in Outlook on 17th June to cancel and they said "But of course, you've just paid for another month"...

Charletons the lot of them! ;-)

Cheers, Rob.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munrobasher:
Because if they are anything like T-Mobile, this will be classed as a new contract.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munrobasher:
I think T-Mobile on Combi 30+ wnk is unlimited, fair use...

Rob.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Informator:
Both Orange and T-Mobile are "unlimited", but last I checked thir fair use policy was 500MB for Orange, 1Gb for T-Mobile. (And 200MB for O2, out of interest.)
