What about the current followers?

Toshiba TG01 / K01, Touch Pro 2? Samsung Omnia Pro? Acer Tempo M900

I still can't find a suitable BA-substitution.

portrait orientated keyboard? docking station with battery charging option? Big 3:4 screen to make easier office working?

Not to mention the sd-card-slot ...

But, if make compromises, all mentioned devices have no really improvements (like a much faster processor) or they seems to be not reliable enough (Toshiba).

What do you think? Which device would you make to throw away your BA?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] x86:
never throw your BA :)

TouchPro i would get!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
although none of the newer devices looks similar to the blueangel, they all have their respective advantages in their fields. it starts with the display resolution, all newer devices are better in that field, though not all the displays are necessarily bigger. i don't know, the portrait keyboard is not really something i need in a device, maybe it is because some keys of mine haven't worked since the day i bought it, but even if they did, i don't like the ba's keyboard, i really appreciate the universal's one, i can type almost as fast as on my pc there.

but i gotta admit, in one point, the ba really kicks ass:

the docking station, no lame usb cable, but a proper stand, you can charge the device and a second battery, and let's not forget, the headset port on top (though it is not 3.5mm *aaargh*) you can charge and have handsfree calls at the same time.

that's one reason, why htc will go back to the 3.5mm headset port, they said, you can simply connect the device to any speaker system, fm transmitters... and still charge at the same time. people were sick of carrying an adaptor from mini-usb or extusb to 3.5mm in their pockets, just in case they wanted to play loud music or use good headphones.

i do not fully agree on the sd card slot, while they are certainly the cheapest memory cards (3x 2gb for 10eur unbeatable), the 2gb limit is not exactly future ready. the most important thing is, that the card is interchangable without taking out the battery and stuff like that (yes, i am talking about you, NOKIA, damn you!1).

but talking about memory i would really say, the BA itself has an expiration date. how long do you think, fast proper roms will fit 32mb, external apps are growing bigger every day, 60mb is also not the killer, and installing to an sd card is also not really an option because it's slow and since there is no sdhc support, how far are you gonna get, i don't want to install my apps on every card i have.

don't get me wrong, i love the ba, and i don't think your post was to say, it would last forever.

i agree with you, there is no real successor to the ba featuring all its features, but really thinking about it, you must agree, you would give up some minor features for all the new stuff.

and i personally love gadgets, nonsense additons to devices, that i could perfectly live without, but i want them. there would be: accelerometer, proximity sensor, light sensor, noise sensor, multi-touch...

when it was up to me, the devices would also get a barcode- and fingerprint sensor, voice recognition and x-ray ;)

just my 2 cents

hope some of this was interesting to my fellow BA enthusiasts and supporters of this community.

have a nice weekend everybody

It's clear to me that sometimes I must change my device. In my case (I still use the BA with WM2003, have 4GB SD installed and another BA to replace faulty device parts) the main problem is the slow Internet connection.

I'd like to have a device where I can check some information in the Internet in seconds, not in minutes.

Finally the question for me is to find the right moment, when HTC's devices are fast enough, Toshiba's work properly a.s.o. Will there be better BA successors in future? HTCs with 1 GHz? Toshibas with inside pens?

When this future will start?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Spades01:
I think my question is close enough to this thread, so I ask it here:

I'm also looking for an alternative to my MDA III (Blue Angel).

In general, I'm quite fond of the device. What I like about my MDA III and want to have in a future device are these things:

+

Windows Mobile

hackability

+

sufficient RAM

+ realtively

fast CPU

+

fingerfriendlyness

(MDA III is because of its screen size)

+

reasonable battery life

(I have a clunky extended battery)

But I want another device, because I see some drawbacks in the Blue Angel and want to have this:

+

less clunkyness

(even without the extended battery the BA is huge)

+

landscape keyboard

+ built-in

GPS

+

3G

ability

+

even more battery life

(I always want more of that)

I got me an e-ten Glofiish M800, which has almost everything on paper. But the RAM (64MB) is much too small for a VGA device and the build quality is really bad. I can't even make decent phonecalls because the speaker is truly awful.

So, is there something the experts can reccomend? What about hte TYTN II, does it have a decent battery?

Dirk

Which browser do you use? For just getting some information Opera Mini (a Java application) is the browser of choice. It reduces the size of images and rearranges the website's content. With GPRS it is already fast, I never had to wait minutes.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] pdahunter:
I'm afraid the main problem is the connection speed.

I don't like operas user interface very much (I have V8.65) - no direct click to favorites/bookmarks, many other functions take more clicks than in IE. So IE became my favorite broswer.

Should I upgrade opera?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Spades01:
This is a misunderstanding, I'm not talking about Opera for Mobiles but Opera Mini, a Java app.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] pdahunter:
It seems I should give Opera Mini a chance ...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] moh980:
I've been using BA for about 4 years now! never disappointed me, its been amazing till now! however the weird look in ppl eyes start to annoy me :mad: so i decide to upgrade: so i got Touch PRO, and frankly i didn't feel it add much to my BA (may be a little bit)

bottom line: BA is one of the greatest device, and to replace it i would go for Touch PRO or PRO 2....but never through my BA :D

Cheers!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Spades01:
Yeah, I thought so. I'll look for a Touch Pro when I get back the money I spent for the faulty E-ten. To0 bad that the Touch Pro still ist quite expensive.

Dirk
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] pdahunter:
Last week I had a chance to compare BA and Touch Pro 2:

There are pros and contras for the Touch Pro 2.

Considering the contras the most important is the smaller screen (despite the 3.6"):

If I play games in portrait mode all signs and graphics are smaller than on a BA.

If I use the keyboard (E-Mail, Office) I have not enough place for lists and texts (landscape mode instead of portrait mode keyboard).

If I use the touch as navigation system the square of the screen is to small.

(moreover there is not car case yet with integrated power supply)

Hope sometimes HTC will build something like the TG01 with a keyboard.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] API182:
I own a BA, have done for the last couple of years, currently running xplodes latest 6.5 rom and over all its a good pda... Yes, I class it as a PDA, due to its sheer size, I don't think I can ever comfortably use it as a phone... Yes, the screen is deffinitely bigger than most and that has its advantages, but I do think its getting old now and the way I see it, its probably getting a bit hard to adapt the latest software and roms to its 'aging' hardware...

I've just purchased a 2nd hand HTC TyTn II and to be honest, it really is fantastic, I really am very impressed with it, got it off eBay for £100 and the fact that it has a 3.0mp camera, built in GPS reciever, WiFi (like the BA), a 2.8" Screen and in my opinion, a much much better Qwerty keyboard pulling out the side giving much easier and bigger keys to press! I've currently got a Windows Mobile 6.5 rom on there and the battery life really does make the BA look like it should'nt have Windows Mobile 6.5 on it at all!

But hey, thats just my opinion, i'm not running the BA down at all, as its deffinitely one of my favorite devices and a device I'll keep forever! But I'm just giving my input to this thread and to reflect on what ive said above, for a good six months of the last year, I went back to using my SPV M500 rather than the BA just because it works better as a 'Phone'...

Cheers, Adz.

Hi to all,

I have one question:

Is it possible to get Titanium Weather working on HD or it is still not posible.

Yesterday I was UpDating friends Touch 3G and flashed it with PDAVIET rom. I was supprised by home screen - I want that... Is this posible?

here is picture...

** EDIT**

I foound reason why it is not working on HD - it is only QVGA build for now.

:(

Who knows what future brings
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Sopis:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sbarts:
There is a VGA version and i've included the link in this message. It does work on the HD but you need to download a further file which is further on in the thread to allow the weather update to work. I've tried using Titanium rather than Manila and I think manila wins everytime. The weather plugin is a pain to configure but does look nice.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] losludvig:
I made the major mistake of flashing the vodafone hero rom to my 32A SHIP S-ON H (nordic htc branded sapphire). After figuring out that I made a bad move, I tried flashing the superhero v2 that I had before, but it still got stuck at the HTC Magic logo right after boot.

Since then, I've tried a lot of things like re-rooting, flashing a different SPL and doing a restore from Nandroid files.

Flashing a different SPL doesn't change the SPL number at the HBOOT screen (tried both the out-of-the-box SPL, the .2005 engineering SPL and the modded .2004 SPL, but when I reboot it's back to HBOOT-1.33.0009.

restoring from nandroid fails with "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"

I'm running out of ideas, though I have a hunch that I'm not flashing the SPL correctly

Any help would be very much welcome
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] barefootnz:
HBOOT-1.33.0009 will not let you fastboot flash nandroid images, Although you still should be able to use a modded recovery to reinstall the system.

Did you try installing superhero via the update.zip?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] losludvig:
I only tried that once - here goes another try...

EDIT: Shouldn't I still be able to flash a new SPL?

EDIT2: using a modded recovery and flashing superhero gives no errors (though the progress bar stops at ~80% for a while then all of a sudden, it's complete). After rebooting it it gets stuck on the very first "HTC Magic" screen, so it's not getting very far since superhero loads with the "T-mobile G1" screen
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Try this :

1. Switch your device into fastboot mode.

2. Fastboot this recovery. (fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img).

3. Perform a data wipe.

4.

- $adb shell flash_image boot /sdcard/<yournandroidbackupdir>/boot.img

- $adb shell flash_image system /sdcard/<yournandroidbackupdir>/system.img

- $adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/<yournandroidbackupdir>/recovery.img

- $adb shell flash_image userdata /sdcard/<yournandroidbackupdir>/userdata.img
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] losludvig:
I get the error /sbin/sh flash_image: not found

I know of the command "which <command>", but when running "adb shell which flash_image" I get only a blank line.

If I do "adb shell which" I get an explanation of the command, so I don't get why it doesn't work...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
If you get a blank line it means that busybox can not find the flash_image binary in the directories specified in your PATH variable.

Try the following :

1. Switch your device into fastboot mode.

2. $fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img

3. Perform a data wipe.

4. $adb shell mount -a

5.

- $adb shell flash_image boot /sdcard/<yournandroidbackupdir>/boot.img

- $adb shell flash_image system /sdcard/<yournandroidbackupdir>/system.img

- $adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/<yournandroidbackupdir>/recovery.img

- $adb shell flash_image userdata /sdcard/<yournandroidbackupdir>/userdata.img

If you still get the same flash_image not found error try this :

1. Get the flash_image binary somewhere (if you don't find it I'll upload it later today).

2. Switch your device into fastboot mode.

3. fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img

4. Perform a data wipe.

5. Push the flash_image binary to your sbin : adb push flash_image /sbin/flash_image

6. Check if it is actually found : adb shell which flash_image

4.

- $adb shell flash_image boot /sdcard/<yournandroidbackupdir>/boot.img

- $adb shell flash_image system /sdcard/<yournandroidbackupdir>/system.img

- $adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/<yournandroidbackupdir>/recovery.img

Also "adb shell flash_image" returns "/sbin/sh: flash_image: Permission denied"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] losludvig:
just tried running a "adb shell mount -a" before doing the flash_image command - that made the command work (finally!)

Flashing boot works fine, but flashing system gives some errors:

mtd: erase failure at 0x013c0000 (I/O error)

... Any ideas?

EDIT: After flashing sytem (with errors) and boot, I went ahead and rebooted... After vibrating and displaying the HTC magic bootscreen for a moment it looks like it's changing image (the screen refreshes), though it's to the same HTC magic logo...

If I were you I would try to perform an erase in fastboot mode first.

Find an update.zip (HTC branded) which includes a full boot and system and copy the update.zip to your sdcard. Maybe try a lite version of one here

1. Switch your device into fastboot mode.

2. Perform an erase (hopefully you don't get any errors while doing this) :

$fastboot erase boot

$fastboot erase system

$fastboot erase recovery

$fastboot erase cache

$fastboot erase userdata

3. $fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img

wait for a while...

4. update

5. reboot

3. on phone screen apply update.zip, where update.zip is haykuro's 2005 engineer SPL (dont have the actual filename handy, sorry but u can find it in the SPL collection)

4. power off, enter fastboot again

5. $fastboot flash nandroid backed system, data, misc, boot in order.

Hi all,

I am using outlook to synchronize my contacts with my address book in my HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Topaz).

What I am wondering is that when I tell the address book in my phone to filter my contacts it does not keep that settings. When I close the address book and reopen it, the filter settings are gone.

With the "filter" settings I mean the categories I can select in the options of my address book. The categories itself I gave each contact in my address book in outlook on my PC.

Is there a way to tell the phone to keep that filter settings?

Some stuff from old postings CMONEX, which gives me strong impression that there once lived a ROM with SD access :

===========================================================

as for usual SPL capabilities... it has lots of MFG commands... hardspl might be based on this SPL if we don't find a better one.

nice news: it is very clear it handles SD (yes you can load image from SD too).

yes, the rom can't be released because then the source of it would be obvious

the rom includes SD and GPS, didn't check wifi yet. these drivers should be usable
