:confused:After upgrading my pc to win 7, I have problem with flashing my device and most probably I think the problem is with non compatibility between RUU & win7 ,that's because windows give an error message and close RUU automaticaly.

the problem is with both XP_RUU and Vista_RUU .

Please help with this.

What error show?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Myrddin Wyllt:
I don't have the Windows 7 beta installed anymore, so I'm not even sure this is possible, but if you can, install and run ActiveSync in degraded mode (XP), and do the same for the RUU (run in degraded mode). That might work, or it might brick your phone. I'd say about 50% either way.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] cornelha:
Grab a copy of vmware player. Install XP in the virtual machine. Try vmxbuilder.com for building the virtual machine. Install Active Sync 4.5 on the Vm and you are set to go. When you plug your wizard into the PC, if the VM is in the foreground the usb will be redirected to the VM instead of windows 7.

I have been using this method to flash my wizard and has never failed. Much safer than a 50/50 chance of bricking your fone

Hello,

I'm a s740 proud new owner. I've been playing with this gadget for the past few days and I must say I'm very satisfied. Apart from some problems (battery, small call buttons) the phone is really great. However I have some questions that I'd like to know.

1) Are there any power management tweaks you use. Apart from the options in the phone do you do anything else in order to save battery?

2) How customizable is the home screen? What can I change from it? For example the Internet Explorer bar or adding other menus.

3) Is there any way to have "shortcuts" for apps ? Example "new sms" or for any other app. Going through the programs menu is tiresome.

4) Is there any option to restart the phone? No reset, just restart, without having to turn it off and on again manually.

5) Do you use the in-built calendar or did you add other apps for dates etc.

6) Can I "lock" the data connection? I usually use Wi-Fi or Internet throught the USB. Some programs (e.g. Messenger or browser) turn on the data connection without me knowing. Is there any way I can avoid this?

7) Do you use voice tags for apps and contacts? Is it satisfactory?

And last (but very important for me):

8) Which app do you use for mp3 and audio? The Audio Manager, WMP or any other app? Which do you think is the best. The wired headset has only "volume up and down" function? Not anything else? Are there other headsets that are compatible and if so can you control the audio apps without having to use the phone?

I know it's much, but any answer(s) would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot
[S740, S743 General] ombre33:
1) Try turning off 3G/HSDPA (unless you need it)

2) Search for CHomeConfigurator

3) Yes there are. You can even put them on the home screen (again, CHomeConfigurator is the easiest method)

4) There is, but I forgot how to do that.

5) I use the inbuilt one because it can switch the phone to silent automatically during meetings

6) Yes you can. Try searching Modaco NoData

7) Nope, don't use it. I find the automatic search for contacts efficient enough (e.g. you want to call dad, just punch in 3-2-3 and it should be right there. Even works if you are looking for the phone number, etc.)

8) I use PocketPlayer together with an AD2P bluetooth headset (Jabra BT3030). Works quite well; skip, back, play, pause, pick up call and vol up/down work with this.

Hope that helps,

.-ombre-.
[S740, S743 General] colonel:
1) I find 3G is fine for stand-by but uses more battery for talking, so it depends how you use your phone. However, its best to select the right bands for your country/region. this is in settings->phone->band select. Also make sure the key-lock is on. Settings -> key lock

2) yeah, chrome. Not full control as no HardSPL unfortunately

3) ..

4) you can try a free app that can reset, look on freewareppc for something like this:

http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/schedulereset.shtml

5) have a look at handango. agenda one and pocket informant are good examples:

http://www.handango.com/catalog/Pro...&merch=L1_Bestsellers_Organization & Wellness

6) not sure if this still works:

http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/

7) nope

8) loads. free ones:

http://www.freewareppc.com/multimedia/mplayer_by_ajeetv.shtml

http://www.freewareppc.com/multimedia/gsplayer.shtml

or pay:

[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Thanks guys, you are really great.

Chrome seems a bit difficult for me, but I see there is a lot of feedback for it in this forum, so I'll give it a try.

Modaco NoData works fine until now. Although I had to disable "GPRS" "Internet" and "MMS" because if I let MMS enabled then Skyfire would open a data connection. That means I won't be receiving any MMS at all?

I'll check the players. Are there any "wired" headsets that also have buttons for "play, next, etc"?

Is there a compatibility issue with bluetooth stereo headsets or I can buy anything I want? (Although bluetooth consumes a lot of battery and I think I'd prefer a wired set).

Thanks again for your feedback
[S740, S743 General] colonel:
MMS uses normal data, so is effected by anything that effects data

Wired play, next and volume (you can use your own headphones)

That's what I'm talking about, thanks a lot

:)

Any experience with CHome Configurator? I've added a panel but I the icons appear only when in Landscape mode.
[S740, S743 General] colonel:
nah

i like the std menu

its a question of remembering the numbers on wm sp

for example, lock keyboard is top button->2

just as fast as, say, nokia, left smart->*

my 2 cents :D
[S740, S743 General] lelopet:
Numbers are great - nevertheless, it this case hold End Call button is much faster and convenient, IMHO...
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Yeah, I use the hold end key too.

The power key is way to up and I'm lazy.

Standard menu is good, however I needed shortcuts to some applications and I made them (for example MP3 player, FM Radio, Resco etc) in a new panel. But there are some problems with the icons. I saw other s740 users complaining about that in the CHome topics and I was curious if someone has made it work.
[S740, S743 General] ombre33:
Well, one possibility is to extract the icon from the corresponding exe (use xn resource editor for example). Me for one, I just use the speed dial function. e.g. press and hold 5 on home screen brings up resco explorer. yes, you'd have to remember a couple of numbers, but i find it faster than flicking through a dozen links in a panel to find the prog i need.
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
I mostly use the speed dials for contacts.

However I found a solution for the problem (not a full solution) with CHome. To whoever might be interested:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3945973&postcount=28

Solution for the Icon Panels and semi-solution for pictures.

I have a couple of other questions.

First of all in the "Call History" I only see the numbers or the contacts of my phone calls. However there is neither the time, nor the date, something I find annoying. Is there a solution ?

Second, I will buy another stereo headset for listening to music. I noticed that when I have bluetooth turned on the battery lasts less. Would a bluetooth stereo headset be very power consuming? Has anyone used one? Should I buy a regular headset like the one from colonel's link above?

And also, are the HTC headsets good or should I check out other brands too?
[S740, S743 General] davi5:
In Call History, select a contact and click the centre navigational button to bring up a list of calls for that contact.

Regarding the locking of S740 keypad via invoking the power button and pressing 2, the quicklist process is actually running as a result. Not much of a problem, but you may wanna reduce the no. of processes running on the phone.
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Thanks, not the best thing but surely something of a solution.

I discovered a problem the past few days. The clock has changed time twice. Any idea ?

It changed both time zone and time (showing a random,wrong time even for the new time zone). Has anyone experienced something like that ?
[S740, S743 General] peseta:
I've experienced this once, but with a Nokia.

My phone clock was set on automatic and it changed several times during a few days. I expect the cause was the phonecompany.
[S740, S743 General] Urgon:
AVE...

I'm using stereo headset from Samsung, and I have Bluetooth active all the time. Didn't made a big difference for me. But whatever I tried I still wasn't able to make Pocket Player compatible with control buttons on my headset...

CHome Configurator didn't worked well for me. In fact it didn't worked at all...

For now I'm playing around with voice commands...These are great for launching apps...

BTW, I had to disable HDSPA, since it turned on to transfer data without asking me for permission, and my operator has a lot bigger fees for HDSPA, than for GPRS...
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Any idea about the MMS receiving size? Although there is an option for changing the MMS size for the ones you send (from 100k to 300k), I didnt find anything for incoming MMS. I already have some MMS which I cannot use because it tells me that the exceed the receiving size I have set. Any idea about that?

Is there any way that when I use Windows Live Messenger the stupid thing doesnt transfer all my MSN contacts to my contacts? I don't need that. The sync options in Windows Live are greyed out and I can't change them :mad:

Edit: I found the solution for Messenger here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=513643

However in the process I lost all my Messenger contacts from my PC, which I saved by the trick mentioned in the topic above
[S740, S743 General] lelopet:
MMS: It's simple - limits are set by operator. Check settings as declared by definitions of your tariff/custom settings.
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Will do, although as I said I changed my limit to 300k for sending while it seems I cannot accept larger than 100k files.

I'll check it out and see.
[S740, S743 General] lelopet:
These are logically two diferent variables. What want to send is your choice per case. What your phone will receive directly, you have to pay for amount of data. And you have no other control as the limit. Therefore default settings for reception are rather conservative.
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Something else, is there any way to change the "low battery" notification? It is on 20% and I would like to lower that because I think 20% is way too high.
[S740, S743 General] peseta:
I don't know how to change this setting, but from my experience I wouldn't recommend it.

I get the "low battery" notification at least once a week and when this happens, I know I'm only able to make a few calls before I really have to recharge the phone (or it shuts down).

So, at least in my case, the "low battery" notification in default setting often comes at the right time.
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
You're probably right.

Another question. I use PIM Backup in order to backup contacts and other stuff. How can I backup things like applications etc.

I have a backup manager in my PDA with which after a reset I can always copy back my programs along with their preferences etc.

What happens in Windows Mobile? How can you backup your applications and other stuff like that?

Also, is there a way I can backup my "words" in the XT9 dictionary and edit them in my pc for example?
[S740, S743 General] peseta:
My favourite back-up software for WM since 2002: Sprite backup
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Thanks I'll check it out
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Sorry for the double post.

I was checking out Sprite Backup.

After restoring a backup there was an error message about a dll (TNETQ1251.dll). Is this important?

Moreover, there is a problem with the alarm now. When I press the button and I go to "Time and date" and "alarm" I have two "Alarm 2" in the menu :confused:

It looks like this:

1 Date and Time

2 Alarm

3 Alarm 2

4 Alarm 2

Any way I can make the second alarm 2 go away? I find it annoying.
[S740, S743 General] Eddie1967:
I just bought a new HTC Rose(S740 here in italy)and i'm new to wm6.1,i had a nokia n80.

I have a real big problem,i can't get any program to work.

All i have installed doesn't work and give me the same result,so i think it was an error by me!

Here is what it says for example with GPS cycle computer:

GpsCycleComputer.exe

NotSupportedException

in Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr()

in

System.Windows.Forms.Control._InitInstance()

in System.Windows.Forms.Control..ctor()

.

.

.

.

etc etc

And these for every prog i installed,(but skype work!)

Please help me!

Thanks in advance
[S740, S743 General] moneytoo:
Eddie1967:

Most probably it's because the applications you have installed arent compatible with Windows Mobile Standard. Windows Mobile Professional applications are not suitable for Rose. You have to look for application for "Windows Mobile Standard" or "Smartphone" or "non-touchscreen".
[S740, S743 General] hamannas:
hi,

can anybody tell me, is there way to put program shortcuts on home screen? or its the only way to access programs thru file explorer?
[S740, S743 General] peseta:
If you mean the HTC Sliding Panels, this is possible with ChomeConfig, which can be found in the "Tweaks & Tips" thread of this forum (a recommended thread for more usefull tips)
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
As my previously posted problem with the double menus is not yet solved, I think I'll have to hard reset the thing.

:(

So I have a few questions. The programs installed in the storage card are affected too? Aren't their registry values etc stored in the device?

Also, I want to restore a former backup for the programs and a later one for the contacts. Can I do that ?
[S740, S743 General] peseta:
Yes, they will be affected.

They won't be removed from the storage card, but the registry will be reset to default settings.

With several back-up solutions this is possible: only select the items you want to restore.

But of course it's also possible to restore contacts through syncing (if you sync your S740 with e.g. Outlook)
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
It's getting frustrating. On Monday the alarm was on vibrate. That's because I didnt think that I should have changed twice the "alarm sound" as it exists twice in my menu. So I woke up two hours later...

I tried restoring previous backups but the problem of the double menus remains.

I also read (from a guy that has the same problem) that after a hard reset the problem goes away but if you restore a backup after that then it appears again.

So... I have to hard reset my phone so that double menus disappear. Are there any other alternative backup programs out there?

In Sprite Backup you can save PIM, Mail, My Documents and System Data (which I don't understand what exactly is).

Is there any way I can save the trouble of re-installing all of my applications?

I'm not afraid about contacts, I have them in my Outlook.

PS. So if the programs installed at the storage card can not be used what's the purpose of installing them there apart from saving some space in the device? You need to install them again and overwrite them ? What goes?
[S740, S743 General] ombre33:
I, too, have the double menus. I have the suspicion that it's Sprite Backups fault, did a restore quite a while back and I think ever since I had the double menu. To be fair though, I don't really mind, I don't use the standard alarm. I can really recommend AlarmMaster. I understand that you might not wanna pay for a feature that is already included, but to be honest here, doesn't the standard alarm kinda suck? :D

.-ombre-.

P.S.: Yes, that's the purpose of installing programs to the memory card. You might get lucky and they work without their respective registry entries, but I wouldn't bet on it...
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Yes, it's definitely the Sprite Backup program. Other people complained too at their site. However there is no solution. Also check your Settings--> Home Screen menu. I got double menus there too.

I found an old backup, older than the problem. I hard reseted, then restored the older backup. I just lost 1-2 minor applications. I managed to get rid most of the duplicate menus. I'll give the Alarm Master a try, see if it's worth it.

So, another question. When writing an SMS I use the T9 with the numerical keyboard, and the abc with the slider. I am almost positive that when I write an SMS in numerical and I open the slider it instantly goes to abc and then if I close the keyboard it goes to T9 again. However that is not the case anymore. Do I remember wrong? Is there any way that you use the numerical the T9 is the default and when you use the full keyboard abc is the default?

Hey guys sorry to post a new thread but does anyone know if wifi is free if you don't have the smartphone package? I use my mogul but instead of paying the $60 dollars a month I just activated it to a regular line, so I don't have the data plan.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] necromis:
if you are running in wifi mode, that is acting like a wireless PC, so it should be free. It is only when you access data thru the phone connection that it would be billed to your data plan.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] paintballinfl:
Thanks I tried emailing them but they wouldn't respond because I didn't have some sort of PIN since I'm not at home. If I get a definite answer I'lllet you guys know for anyone else on Alltel
[Mogul, XV6800 General] mattsm:
Wifi is free on any type of device where there is free wifi available. Mobile phone companies can not charge you for the wifi service that is not theirs to charge you for. Even if your phone was not even activated with a company, you can still access internet through wifi from the phone. The only time a cellular phone company can charge you for internet service is when It goes through their data connection. If any phone company charges for wifi at someone elses wifi service that would be like stealing from them.

Example: If one wanted to hook up to my wifi network at my home and a mobile phone company wanted to charge them for it, then that mobile phone company would owe me funds for providing the service.(because it is mine not theirs).

So wifi service is free unless the establishment that is providing the service charges a fee for connection.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] paintballinfl:
That's a great way of putting it, thanks for the answer.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] paintballinfl:

"Dear Mr. Miller,

So I'm saying back to them "If I am connecting via wifi what am I paying for? I know that it uses minutes to connect through WLAN because that is using Alltel's internet. If I connect using Wifi that's just using my phones features and my own internet router."

I think I'm gonna say something back along the lines of this, but I'm not gona send it for a couple of days so if you guys could help me think of something that would be great.

wifi free

data plan not free
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
seriously dude stop emailing them. they will always tell you need a dat package because they want your money. Wifi is free period. Just make sure you have a data block or that you delete the alltel data connection permanently so that IE or your browser doesn't dial it up.

Alright thanks for the advice
[Mogul, XV6800 General] davefromohio:
A friend is giving me a touch pro and I really don't want to activte it.what do I have to do to use the wifi and internet capabilities of the phone? Thanks for your help.I do want toplay with it nd learn bout and mess around with roms would be great if I could do all that without havin to activate the phone.and just use the wifi like a little laptop.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
Just turn on the wifi and use it. Plain and simple. But if the phone has a stock rom you may have to disable the data connection so it doesn;t always try to dial out.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] woony:
Does any know why my wifi is turned on automaticly?

i dont think i have any programs that would require wifi access.

what about the quickGPS program, when the data runs out wouldn't it just use what connection i have open to collect new data?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
if enabled in comm manager wifi will always connect to a router when your device wakes up

if it's disabled then sounds like a program enable it

a program I exp'd doing so is fring

suppose other programs you got running in the background

could do likewise

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Mr_Q:
Although it works on (W)VGA devices, you don't see more then you would on a smaller screen.

The screen is very unsharp cause they just doubled the pixels to make it full screen ook WVGA devices.. This way you get a sort of stretched, unclear view.

The technique itself is nice.. Flash support is great, but still it is a crappy view from devices with a resolution higher then 320x240 (or 320x400 (omnia))..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] higherbearts:
any news?

i can see the double pixelz...

are there any tweaks released?

Nope, and there won't be, see the other thread in Topaz General.
