[Off-topic] jaugusto:
I prefer to think that technology is being developed, rather than big companies are just "milking us". Every new product is an evolution from something done before, not only with technology, but with everything manufactured in the capitalist markets we live in.

Basically, i think we have two choices: ware out our equipment untill we really need a new one (in case of a mobile phone for me i would say that it's about 3 years), or sell our semi-new equipment and buy a new one every year or so. I usually choose the first one, but i'm not always sure that it is the cheapest.

About speed, I know that the tytn II's are far from being the best phone HTC made, heck, my old magician (qtek s110) was way faster. But it didn't have to deal with gps, wifi, 3G, HSDPA, hardware keyboard, etc. They're only three years apart from each other, and look at the differences!

I actually agree with you that the kaiser is slow for a 2007 PDA, but it can do a lot. So, like everyone else in this forum, i've been reading, and trying, and failing, and trying again. The best Rom i've tried is shifu's v8, i do like it a lot. And the advantage of WM is that you can really do everything you want to change the look and the way you interact with your phone, and there are thousands of programs to do whatever you need your phone to do.

There's so many software out there, that it is hard to get to the best one for you. Some prefer SPB Mobile Shell3, i prefer Manila 2D. There's also the new Titanium in WM 6.5, PointUI, Throttle Launcher.... I compare this situation to the photography industry: there are hundreds of camera models, most of them give very similar image quality for the same price, but if you visit photography forums you'll find people that just can't get used to a certain model of a certain brand, and normally for reasons you wouldn't even think of.

That doesn't turn that model into a lemon, but usually makes it more special to the ones that actually like it.

So, my question is, is there any phone on the market that works like a simple usb pen? Does the iphone do that? Blackberrys? And you could use bluetooth to transfer data, have you tried that?

Just trying to help, as i don't consider myself a geek, but i do prefer windows mobile over symbian.

Actually yes the BBs do USB File transfer when plugged into a PC with nothing extra installed. You get prompted on the device to enable Mass Storage Mode.

I think corporations do plan to make every gadget quickly outdated. Hardware and software companies help each other in that regard. Software is designed to require more and more computing power even though is often not necessary. We could be a lot farther ahead after 20 years of consumer computers. MS is probably the main cause of this troubled development and we are still stuck with it. Window mobile may be better than others but is still very far from being good. That was also the idea of a MS project manager friend of mine who eventually left Seattle and MS. I remember venting my frustration with him and he had no excuse to offer.

I did do ROM upgrades early on but then I had to remove them after developing other problems. If one day I run into somebody that will do it for me I may give them another try. I just had it with this PDA I don't to waste anymore time.

I have a lot of other things in my life and I just don't want to spend time on something that should save me time. It just does not make any sense to me.

When this PDA will crap out I'll be very careful of what I may buy. I think I have learned the lesson. The only thing that I have appreciated is the navigator which is neither HTC or MS. I travel a lot so I keep the bastard only for that. I have to bear the bulk and weight of it for navigation and the occasional email.

I don't know if there are PDAs that can be used like a USB pen. I really hope so. It is such a simple thing, if there aren't any then it's really bad out there.

Thanks for your help

Cheers
[Off-topic] mbarvian:
I agree with everything you posted originally. Although, it's not HTC's fault as much as it is Microsoft's. I happen to love the G1 :)

I've had a tilt for a year now and, while flashing ROMs does make it bearable, Windows Mobile just sucks in general imo.
[Off-topic] olliric:
Great to hear that I am not the only unhappy here. Actually I believe there are a lot more but they don't want to admit it.

So you guys de-lurk yourself and get it off your chest. You'll feel better. After all we just bought the PDA, we did not do anything terrible. There wasn't much choice anyway. If I made it or the OS then I would feel really bad about myself.

Cheers

I can see where the OP is coming from. If you buy one of these ppc's thinking they are the bees knees out of the box - you are bound to be dissappointed. Truth is I felt the same exact way about my Wizard (8125) when i bought it. It was never as fast as I hoped, but it was a pretty damn good machine once I got the stock crap off it.

If you go into it knowing you are going to have to flash it at least once and go from there you will feel much better about the experience. It also helps to know which programs you like/need to use and have them in a cab.

Also - ActiveSync 4.5 sucks. My enjoyment level jumped 500% once I got a usb reader and stuck my MicroSD card in that. Transferring info is now a simple process.

dont you think that is what apple is doing now, and you did not even say a single word about that. first generation Iphone only have 2G while other phone manufacturer already have 3G long ago? Is the TyTn so bad until you had to call it a bastard? A bastard that you still want to use? is it too big for you? A PDA like a USB pen? Am I get it wrong here? A PDA having no screen or the screen so tiny?

I think you got a defective TyTn. That all I can said.

@ topic creator

well looking at the post above you must have understood that we are all htc freaks out here(including me :) )

so i really dont think there is no point fighting here .........you will be alone all the way

to get the things straight yes i accept that stock ROMs with which the phones come are stupid and slow

but that doesnt really mean that the device is not capable........

you need to flash it tweak it to get the optimum performance

and thats why only geeks prefer these phone (i accept the are a bit complicated to get started with)

but that is the whole point if you feel the device doesnt suit you then just go for something easier (i pawn???)

not a big deal.... afterall its you who have to be comfortable with the phone

BTW do you mind selling your tytn to me???:D

[Touch HD General] ozmoran:
Try going into all messages at the bottom left when on the message tab sometimes the phone has messages in the inbox that dont respond, check the inbox folder and delete the sms see if that works
[Touch HD General] targett:
Tried that already... I now have no messages at all and it still shows 1 sms to be read! Grrr
[Touch HD General] gadgetwizard:
I had that problem until i noticed that there WAS an unread email, it wasn't in my newly created email inbox, it was in the Outlook Email inbox.

This email seems to be created automatically when you run the HD for the first time.

Have a look at the mail inbox again and switch it so you can see all the email accounts (use the the drop down list in the top left corner), check the Outlook Email Inbox too.

Goodluck.

Softbank MMS on Hero Android

Hello,

Exactly same problem here. The basic keys to solution are listed below

1.

I have hear from here that the problem can be fixed by setting up and using your own proxy server. I would gladly set this up and share with others, just do not know how.

2.

Another important thing is to forge User Agent - I have done so using HandcentSMS (free on android market), but still no luck

3.

it is necessary to setup APN properly. Currently I do not know wether I have to merge FlatRate Internet and MMS into a single APN or have separate APNs for Internet and MMS.

4. Anything else???

Anyone solved the MMS problem with Softbank so far?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] robotician:
Which type of USIM card are you using?

In my case, I am using iPhone Black USIM card & cyanogen MOD.

And it works perfect. Of course I set up my APN as of iPhone.

In my test and experience, UA setting is very sensitive.

Wrong UA, NO mms.

Proper UA for your USIM card, MMS is there.

Good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mizuchi:
Hey guys,

I'm on Softbank as well.. so far no problems sending MMS but have had problems receiving MMS on several occasions.. I can accept MMS from other Softbank numbers, and in most cases, emails from other providers (@softbank, @docomo, @ezweb, etc). But there have been problems receiving from webmails such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc.. The MMS notification arrives, but when it actually downloads the messages, it's empty.. meaning a blank message from Anonymous.. Occasionally, I do have problems with emails that are in Japanese..

I've merged both FlatRate Internet and MMS APN settings into one APN and haven't had any problems with it as far data transfers and MMS is concerned.. but, I've only used this settings for a month, and at the moment, the FlatRate Internet seems to be working.. I'll have to check next month's bill to be sure..

I'm using the old Vodafone USIM (been here a while) with HT-03A Black on CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 with UA set as 705NK.. the ones provided in the CM build didn't seem to work as well..

hi

i have a nokia e51 unlocked - about three months ago when i first got it i managed to set up all the apn stuff ok and then after a couple of weeks the mms stopped working with an error message like mms server refused message.

i entered a different apn setting and it worked fine:

??” MMS ??” server: open.softbank.ne.jp

user: opensoftbank

pass: ebMNuX1FIHg9d3DA authentication:

Normal home page: http://mms/

proxy server address: mmsopen.softbank.ne.jp

proxy server nunber: 8080

but today it stopped working again - i cant send mms messages - just says waiting and retry.

has this happened to anyone else? none of the other apn settings i've found and used for mms work.

many thanks in advance for any info.

web browsing is fine using:

??” Web ??” server: open.softbank.ne.jp

Hi,

I have the following ROM set up on my XDA Neo:

ROM version: 7.0.0.7

ROM date: 7/05/08

Radio Version: 02.47.21

Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24

ExtROM Version: Vincent ROM (ENG)

Whenever I send an SMS my SIM card kind of blocks off. The phone appears to be normal but if someone calls me..the phone rings at their end but on my phone there is no indication it is ringing (not even missed calls). Once I disable my radio and enable it again or soft reset the phone it starts working properly.

Out going phone calls work as usual. Could any one please help me out by either suggesting me a better ROM for my XDA Neo (OMAP850-195MHz) or a possible solution to this issue?

Thanks in advance,

My question is whether it is a problem with the SIM card which is not compatible with Windows Mobile 6.0 or other higher versions? Should I stick to WM 5.0 only or try and upgrade to a newer ROM.

Would very much appreciate if some kind expert would teach

me how can i use a widely known patch to enlarge SDHC limited management skill of HTC p3600.

The patch i´m refferring instructs to replace 2 files in the wm5 system: a .dll and other more...

Now what happens is that when i try to replace the said files i

get a msg. denouncing "violation" and the system does not allow the operation.

Since i do not know how to boot in safe-mode -- if such move is possible at all within Windows Mobile 5, very poor, sadly limited environment, i wonder if some of you could help me??

This depends on keyboard driver, what's always a dll library written by a manufacturer specifically for each device.

Similar problem has Touch Pro 2.

E.g. unlike Rose, where press+hold function can be simply remapped to another character/function.
