[General Questions and Answers] Meleeeee:
would go for the touch pro, very comfortable phone with its 5 row keyboard imo and not very expensive, or wait for the touch pro 2. The main problem with the tp2 is that its very big. big and expensive. Besides the winmo phones, the only other option would be a blackberry, like the curve. Since you already tested it, you got to decide yourself which platform is the one of your choice ;-) blackberries are usually easier to get along with but by far not as powerful as the winmo devices ;) But blackberries run muuuch longer on battery power, if thats necessary to you.

Sidenote: To get a nice office suite for blackberries, theres no way around but to pay for one. Only readers are included. Thats an advantage with winmo ;-)

I had a Blackberry Curve and Flip, and have now switched to a Touch Pro and Touch HD. Battery life is good enough, but not nearly as comfortable as with the bbs. But I really love the devices in terms of expandability, thats why I would never trade them back in - but thats not a reasonable factor if you havent got time to mod and tune your device :-)

Outlook Mail downloaded to my Pro only stays in my Inbox for a day or two before "disappearing" from the device. The mail remains in webmail on the server, but how can I keep the mail on my Pro? I see a menu option to "move" mail, but I don't see an option to create a new folder on the Pro. When I create a new folder on the desktop, the folder does not get created on the Pro after I sync.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
[Palm Treo Pro] johnjtaylor:
Try changing the "options" for email in activesync - you are probably only asking it to synchronise the last few days of mail.

[Palm Treo Pro] TPThomastt:
Disappearing when Not Syncing

Sorry that I wasn't clear. The mail is "disappearing" from my Inbox on the device when I retrieve mail wirelessly, not at the time of syncing. My sync setting appear broad enough not to impact the mail in my Inbox on my device.

Also, has anyone successfully added other folders to the Outlook tree on their device? I don't see any functions on the device to perform that. And, folders created on the desktop do not sync to the device.
[Palm Treo Pro] johnjtaylor:
even if you sync wirelessly your phone uses the activesync settings to dictate how it deals with your exchange server - have a go at changing the settings and see if I'm right :-)

You can add folders by going to Menu...Tools...Manage folders. Hold down the stylus on the folder that you want to create a child to and a menu will pop up.

hope this helps

Solution for Folders

Thanks for solving my folders problem. The solution was so obvious, but I keep forgetting about the popup menu when pressing the screen (a wonderful and useful WM feature). I'm still struggling with the mail disappearing the Inbox.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dvice19:
ok so i just bought a google ion recently. it still has the tmobile sim in it. i live in canada (vancouver) and i can't seem to get 3g speeds out here on the ion (roaming on rogers network). i was thinking of just selling the ion and picking up a rogers magic instead so that i could get 3g speeds. after my use of the tmobile sim runs out at the end of the month, i was planning on using rogers (or fido) anyway.

now what's the deal here? do you guys think i should get the rogers phone or not?

is the ion rom a lot better than the rogers?

why can't i get 3g on the ion? i thought rogers used 850/1900 and tmobile used 900/1900?

i don't really want to throw in a cooked rom on either one. i used to use a lot of cooked roms on winmo, but i don't really want to get into cooked roms using android. anyway thanx...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] akay_7:
no t-mobile uses 1700 in the states.......u are right about rogers' bands...getting the magic will get you the 3G speeds you are looking for.

cant comment on the rom though
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dvice19:
thanks for the reply

anyone else know which is better rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Happy_Kot:
3G bands in Magic depends on hardware or firmware?

Chipsets MSM7200A & MSM7201A supply all range HSDPA/WCDMA: 850/850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz

Can i flash Rogers with Ion firmware (or other) and change 3G bands from 850/1900 to 900/2100?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bachviet:
Ion ROM is faster than Rogers Magic ROM but it lacks some of the HTC built-in apps (Exchange, camera/camcorder interface, and etc).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] GSLEON3:
I used to enjoy helping to unbrick Kaisers & I had half a dozen to play with, so I learned JTAGing with them, all about the OEMSBL, SPL & Radio Bootloader, working with Jocky in the development of the first mass unbricker for the MSMxxxx series devices, i.e. Frankenkaiser.

Since then the good folks at HTC have really locked things down, shutting the back doors that allowed us to sneak in & fix devices that previously were considered bricks fvor all time, unless you know a hell of a lot & have invested in a jtag box.

Recently I noticed that whenever you reset while holding the Volume up key, the device vibrates three time. After a few more key presses & some magic, I was able to get into DIAG mode, or so it appears using the Qualcomm Diagnostic tools.

I have still not been able to get into Dload mode, but from what I have seen makes me wonder... Just maybe good ole HTC left a back door once again that just maybe we can open & exploit.

I don't want anyone bricking there devices, so I am not going to get into all of the steps yet, but I will work with a few of the old timers to see just what is possible. This would be great, making unbricking possible for the Diamond, TouchPro & even the latest greatest releases, the TouchPro 2 & Diamond 2.

More as it's known.

BTW, for those of you noobies that are like I was & don't listen to warnings, don't be afraid if you hold the volume up key, get the three consecutive vibrations & then find you cannot restart your device. You can, but you must first remove the battery for a short time, then reinsert the battery & then soft reset. Voila, it will boot again. ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] B4PJS:
d wonder what those three vibes were all about. Half the time I go to flash my phone this happens as Im not paying attention to what I'm pressing!

Keep up the good work :)

This is great news! But who actually has bricked their touch pro? Most problems are because of hardware failure not because someone bricked it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
Ummm, I bricked mine awhile back. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] DJGonzo:
Oh yeah, I remember reading your thread, sorry. We all brick phones, specially when we flash something we are not supposed to flash. Tip: always make sure your phone (or any hardware/electronic device you are flashing) a chip compatible with the ROM/firmware you are flashing. Sounds dumb, but I have fried things by ignoring this tip.

Anyways, isn't there a way to get all the official ROM's from HTC?

I know LG sells a subscription where you can download all firmwares for all their phones for any carrier. If there is something like that for HTC, maybe someone that has a subscription can help us out with this. I am interested in this, I will look more into this, as I may end up bricking my phone. I do stupid things often enough.

Back to the topic: I get the three vibes then nothing. What are we supposed to press after that? I have a Raph110 (AT&T Fuze)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] P1Tater:
No, you for sure are not the only one. If anyone remembers, I bricked my first one while trying to come up with radios from diff. devices.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] DJGonzo:
Now for the million dollar question: What do I do after I hold the Vol Up button and get three vibes?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] viperbjk:
Yes, some prototypes had such a code. But they removed it from production devices. Also the device needed to be security unlocked to make it work.

What keys did you press ? Do you have a GSM or CDMA device ?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] HTC_FUZE:
Dear All:

I am new to HTC fuze. I have some questions:

1. I want to fix 2G or 3G mode and also want to see which frequency it connected. I see someone shows the functionality but I am not able to find the setting on my device. I think AT&T made some changes to hide the option. How to get it back?

2. Because the 3G frequency used between US and Asia are different, I am wondering if there will be some problems after I flashed an Asian ROM.

Can someone help me to figure out?

Thanks

1- on my touch pro you can do that : in settings/phone/band you can choose network type auto/gsm(2g)/wcdma(3g) and GSM/UMTS band.

[Wing, P4350 General] n3o:
Hi guys, newbie here. I have a problem with my T-Mobile Wing. Few days ago, I can no longer access the setting on my Wing, everytime I click on Start -> Setting, my phone freezes. I tried hard reset (already 3 times) and still no joy, any clue why it happened and any clue on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance,

N3O

ps. my T-Mo Wing is wm6 and only had HTC Home installed on it
[Wing, P4350 General] dougstoner:
Are you sure you actually hard reset didn't soft reset? Hard resets basically rewrite the o.s. over the old o.s. (holding down the two select buttons labeled "-" and pressing reset). If that still doesn't work, you have something fishy going on, but seeing how it seems to be a software issue, I can't imagine hard resetting wouldn't fix this. If this still doesn't work, try flashing to a new rom.
[Wing, P4350 General] n3o:
yes, I did, I had to re-install everything I had. I even need to enter my device ID through registry hack, because I can't access the setting to enter owner's name.
[Wing, P4350 General] dougstoner:
Hmmm, that's kind of strange, but maybe you are using a custom rom? I would try flashing to another rom.
[Wing, P4350 General] n3o:
no doug, it's the original T-Mobile ROM, that's why I got confused too. Usually when something bad happens, I hard-reset it and things would go back to normal again. I can only access the setting if I change the battery, and the setting will be accessible again for a couple minutes and unaccessible again after that. Weird huh? :confused:
[Wing, P4350 General] dougstoner:
That is def strange. Never heard of something like that. It def sounds like a software issue, but you ruled that out by reflashing the os. odd....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ko0l:
I currently own a Diamond 1 and am considering upgrading to a diamond 2. Can anyone help me out and answer these qs to help me make a decision.

1) Ring Delay: In the original diamond, when using the htc dialer the phone will always ring 3 seconds after the person calls. Does this happen with the new topaz dialer?

2) Speakers. Is it any louder than the diamond? I found the original diamond speaker to be really soft.

3) Hard buttons. In the original diamond, the buttons sometimes didn't work properly. For eg. Sometimes the end key button will register as the back key and will need a soft reset to fix. Does the topaz have similar issues? Is it easy click the buttons and not register as the button next to it?

4) GPS lag: I read through the forum and it seems like the topaz still has it. Is it any less/more noticeable compared to the original diamond?

5) Camera: I don’t expect the camera to be any good even though its 5mp. But how does it compare to other camera phones? Is it much of an improvement to the original diamond. When taking photos, does it always turn out blurry no matter how still you hold it like the diamond 1?

Any comments will be highly appreciated. Cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeutie:
1) No.

2) I can't compare to the Diamond 1, But they are lound enough to be heared.

3) The buttons work properly

4) You can regtweak the GPS, Also QuickGPS will shorten the 'lag' For me, I just wait 10 seconds

5) The camera is great. 5MP takes good photo's, It doesn't blur... You can hold the phone how you want :-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
The camera was a surprise. I wasn't expecting much with HTCs past record, but it's good enough for proper sharp colourful printable pictures. The lens is excellent, sharp from edge to edge.

You do need to watch the exposure carefully because HTC's exposure evaluation system is crap. I leave the "brightness" set on "-1" all the time.

The higher ISO settings (400 and 800) are actually OK as regards noise (speckling), but on my phone I sometimes get sharp horizontal interference bands in shadow areas which spoil high ISO pics.

For daytime use I don't feel the need to take a proper camera with me any more.

I hav GPRS enable on my phone and at my home i have a WiFi

So when i connect to the internet from my phone when i am at home it always connects using GPRS but i want to connect it through Wifi when i am at home...Is there any optio through which i can select as to how i want to connect to the internet i.e. either by GPRS or Wifi??

Plz help
[Wing, P4350 General] jimprime:
disconnect your gprs connection just clikc on the Edge Icon on the top bar and then and disconnect the t-mobile data connection and then manually connect to wifi spot and it shouldnt connect through ur gprs until u want it to
[Wing, P4350 General] apreichner:
If you have WiFi turned on, it'll automatically try to find a network it can connect you and notify you of the best connection. If it doesn't WiFi may not be on, you can check in the Comm Manager to make sure its on. If it is on, you can click the WiFi icon on the top bar and select your network.

The phone will automatically use Wifi instead of GPRS if WiFi is connected. If it tries to connect through GPRS it is either because WiFi is disabled or WiFi isn't connected to a network.

Just curious. For those here in the US who couldn't wait and purchased an Unlocked version, could you tell me/us how long it took from order to your hands and any extra fees you had to pay (import, ect..)

I'm very seriously considering just getting the unlocked and not waiting for the AT&T version to come out, even tho it would be a big risk not being able to insure it.

Thanks.

To all your points below you forgot the fact that an Europe version will not work on 3G USA networks...If you don´t mind loosing this I don´t think the shiping time or costos will be to high
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lyian:
Nope, dont care about 3g, i never use it. Only 'data' i send are text messages, sometimes sms.. but thats it. Theirs plenty of Wi-Fi hotspots where i live for it to not be a concern.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bersca:
Clove is an excellent choice. Purchased my Hermes, Kaiser and 3G-less Touch Pro from them. Shipping was unbelievably fast each time. I will be waiting for the US 3G version, though. Another thing to consider before purchasing an unlocked phone from Europe that is not fully functional in the USA is resale value. Since I upgrade my phone once or even twice in a year I always sell my used phones on eBay while they are still worth something. I imagine a Touch Pro2 without 3G in the USA will have less resale value if you sell it in the US. I think my Touch Pro was undervalued when I sold it earlier this year.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lyian:
that is also not a concern with me. Once i get the TP2 ill likely have it for 2+ years, which by then, will be so out of date nobody will want to buy it. Ive had my 3125 for 2 years, and even if it was still a viable phone, ive dropped it a couple times so its not workin 100% anymore.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lyian:
i do have to ask..

what does "inc VAT" mean?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] radiowc:
That "VAT" don't applied to international shipping buyer,.. (It is like local tax). :)

In your case, you only pay for the £426 plus shipping.

P/S: Noted, headsup...make sure you check with your Creditcard Co. they might charge you with some fees for foreign transaction.

Has anyone purchased a UK version and is now using it in the states? Any issues? Im looking at Clove at the "HTC Touch Pro2 - Bundle Option Two " which includes the device, a car charger, a 3.5mm adapter, screen protector and an extra battery.

According to Google, the bundle = $738.10 while the device itself is = $678.34. Wondering if the $60 difference is worth it. I know most of that price is the battery. *ponders* i did add it up and separately all the extras add up to about $86.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] radiowc:
Like i mentioned on my previous post, I have been using it for a month now (with T-Mobile)... very happy with it and not problem at all ((Bought it from clove) and of course has been playing around with it and tweak it.

Here is my latest screen shot :>
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lyian:
just checked.. my bank changes a fee of "0.8%" according to him. which by his own math, in decimal form = 0.008. So it will be roughly about $6.00 fee to get a Touch Pro 2 from across the pond. My other bank said they charged 3% (.03) so my first bank is alot cheaper lol

So then if i got This Touch Pro 2 Bundle, after shipping and transaction fee, it would = $750.05

Ouch.. lol i know i want to do it, but it will still hurt pressing that 'check out' button :D

Well, its ordered. I with with Bundle 1 instead of 2 because i didnt think i needed the battery, least this early so saved some money their. It messed up the billing and the shipping address (it mixed them up) but hopefully should still get here.

Hello All,

Am new to Windows Mobile and just bought a Touch Diamond 2 [btw it comes with a pouch in the retail pack in India :) ]. I have got a couple of queries and would be greatful if anyone can help out

- I tried opening Internet Explorer in Full Screen Mode and now I dont know how to get it out of that mode - IE help says click on any of the softkeys to bring up the menu - but on TD2 clicking any of the keys brings up its functionality (like home, back or the phone ) - any idea which softkey should be used and how?

- How do i change the default assignments of Phone and Camera in the lower left and right of the screen? Are there any tools available (www.touchxperience.com seems to be down)

- Is there any inbuilt gprs counter and logs for GPRS calls (my last phone E65 showed GPRS connections also as calls in the log - any idea if TD2 can do the same)?

Thanks in advance!!
