Not sure what you've done to lose the option in file explorer but a workaround is to copy the song/sound you want to the 'My Ringtones' folder which is located in the 'My Documents' folder.

You should then be able to go to the sounds settings and choose your song as a ringtone.

Good luck...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ArmageddonAsh:
nope i have tried that as well. it wont let me use it from there either - i have them there i can select them it just wont use that song when the phone rings. i just copied a song over from my computer and even that didnt work - still goes back to one from the computer - im running out of ideas maybe im going to be forced to do a hard reset as a soft reset didnt do anything :(

right its fixed - it took a hard reset though :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jxoch:
it happened to me as well

open nitrogen mp3 player

click options--- then settings---- then file associations

and clear the box for use nitrogen to open mp3 files

that causes the problem, i hope it works for you too.

You could've used search or google for this one. Search for MoDaco NoData, that's the program you need I guess.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mz3bo:
Hi,

I have a tytn ii running WM 6.1 . The phone was working perfect for the the last 3 years. However, starting last week, it acted qui strange.

When the phone is plugged (AC), I can receive, make calls and do everything that a phone is made for.

However, when the phone is on battery (100% charged or 10%, does not make difference in my case), I can make call, play games etc... but when I receive call, it just shut down. It does make 1 or 1/2 of a ring and died..

When I try to restart (power up) the phone, I see the white text (don't recall), the versions (at the bottom right) and it just died again...

If i just plug the phone, powers up like a charm...

Anyone knows what's wrong ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lahatiel:
Your probably sounds fairly similar to what I went through about 6 months ago with my AT&T Tilt: when it was plugged in, there was nothing I couldn't do; when it was not plugged in, I could leave it on from morning to night and do anything that didn't use a radio signal (phone or data), for as long as I wanted. But if it was unplugged and I used a signal for a call or large amounts of data (like lots of zoom/scroll in Google Maps), then the phone would reboot itself. Not always immediately, but within a few minutes of using the phone/data signal.

What solved it for me was simply replacing the battery. I know it sounds a bit strange given my symptoms, but I took it into a store and they let me test a new battery in it -- I called the store's number and they parked my call on hold while I simultaneously got on Google Maps and forced it to load as many new screens as I could. Either one of those would've previously been a guaranteed reboot within 4 minutes or less... but when it was still going at the 10-minute-plus mark, I just bought the new battery and walked out -- never have had another issue since!

Might be worth looking into, especially if you can get into a store that will let you test a new battery first.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zacnotes:
agreed

i had

exactly

the same problem, until about a week ago. I ordered a 1600mA battery on ebay (i liked the idea of a larger capacity, but didn't want an extended case), and it gave my tilt new life.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] LiteIce:
I just replace the battery of my tilt for this

http://www.smavtronics.com/1600mah-l...lt-series.html

$18 dls shipped.

And since then has been working like a champ, no more reboots or going off, I have been using the Skyfire a lot in the last two days with the normal phone calls and the battery is still at 36%

This has been the best $18 dls that I have invest.
[Touch HD Accessories] Ikkari:
I found one on eBay with 1700 mAh are there bigger ones??

http://cgi.ebay.de/Power-Akku-f-HTC-Touch-HD-Pro-HD-Blackstone-1700mAh_W0QQitemZ390061743029QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDE_PDA_Zubehör_KM?hash=item5ad17ddbb5&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262&_trkparms=%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A2%7C294%3A30
[Touch HD Accessories] Meleeeee:
uh, 1700mah would really be worth it...

has somebody already tried those?

just curious if there might be risks in getting 350mah extra..dont want to brick my hd ;D
[Touch HD Accessories] wizern23:
there are no risk in changing the size but if it is a cheaply made battery then something might go wrong.
[Touch HD Accessories] Meleeeee:
yeah, thats what I meant..i'm a little bit scared of such batteries unless I got a positive review from someone ;-)
[Touch HD Accessories] dasferg:
I use the 2600mah battery. Remember this refers to the storage capacity of the battrey, not how much juice it puts into the phone. My battery (from ebay) gives the phone at least twice the life. I use the GPS (tomtom) a fair bit and it makes a big diffrence. Before this I used a large aftermarket battery on my trinity for at least 2 years with no ill effect.

Note: these batteries need a larger back on them which is supplied.
[Touch HD Accessories] Ikkari:
I will eventually buy this 1700 mAh battery in the next weeks and post short review if it's worth the money. Actually there is very little risk to use a aftermaket battery, dasferg is totally right is't just the storage capacity it's practically the same battery with more juice!!

This one don't need a larger back on them!!! It is standard size, and you will

not need a lager back cover!!
[Touch HD Accessories] blacriderv:
Please send a feedback after you have test it :)
[Touch HD Accessories] SWYRx:
I've also ordered this battery, it should arrive very soon.

Ill make a review aswell
[Touch HD Accessories] SWYRx:
got it yesterday, recharged it to full while being off.

28 hours later its on 99%. Havent used it alot tbh.

20 mins of phone calling, and 40 mins of music.
[Touch HD Accessories] checkeys:
Why not buy a second 1350 mAh to replace whn the other one is empty?

Here:

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.23961

for just $4,90.

By the way. I don't think the battery you mentioned really stores 1700mAh.

They just print 1700mAh because it sells and nobody ever checks if it is really true.
[Touch HD Accessories] paplino:
I also found a 2500mAh battery, obviously larger than the stock one. It comes with a replacement cover as well, also larger than the normal one, to accommodate the larger battery. I'm planning to buy it tomorrow, I'll test it and let you know how it works.
[Touch HD Accessories] woaloo:
What a good idea, I'm waiting !!!
[Touch HD Accessories] illuzi0n:
as far as ive researched the best battery atm that fits in the original HTC cover is the 1500mAh mugen power..

there are ones like Power Akku that is 1700mAh but arent CE approved or properly tested...

seems to me akku are like a cheap dodgy no name brand which is why i wouldnt recommend it
[Touch HD Accessories] dez93_2000:
is it worth the cash for 11% more juice?

Sure, there will be situations where you need to do someting and you curse yourself for not buying another hour of power, but it won't change your charging habits. 33% might, 50% would...

[tho @ £9.95 from blueunplugged.com it wound't hurt to have a bigger one to swap out with]
[Touch HD Accessories] blacriderv:
Man you serious ? You spent a whole day and you losed only 1% battery :confused:
[Touch HD Accessories] paplino:
Just got back home with the new 2500mAh battery. First impression: the device looks bulkier with the larger battery in place and is, obviously, heavier. There is a small advantage here, though, you can stash up to 4 extra microSD's between the area below the battery (sim and microSD slot) and the cover. I'm charging the battery now, I'll stress test it when it reaches 100% and post the results.
[Touch HD Accessories] Ikkari:
The 1700 mAh has about 26% more juice over the 1350 mAh, i won't change my charging habits. But i hope my HD will have juice for a whole day... i'm permanently running Skype in the background an this eating up my battery like mad!
[Touch HD Accessories] SWYRx:
Yesterday evening I turned my HD off and charged the 1700mAh to max.

Turned the phone on again yesterday at midnight.

I've used it alot today by using coreplayer to watch an episode of Sopranos, and like 1 hour of music. Called for like 30 mins. Used MSN for like 3 hours through HSDPA and Opera for about 10 mins. Now, roughly 26hrs later, it's at 70%.

note, I have HSDPA always on.
[Touch HD Accessories] NightRider89:
I bought this and used it for a month now, happy with it, performs like my original HTC battery.

Looks almost identical, but 1500mAh instead. Like to have the 1700mAh, but difficult to justify the price difference!

[Sable] digitalchronic:
Hey everyone,

new here, have been a lurker for some time now but decided to register. I recently tried BR's WM6.5 21815br0609 build and was having some issues, so i decided to re-flash with HP's fw utility. well that didnt go so well. half way through the flashing process it crashed and now im stuck at the HP boot screen with RUU up in the top left. I can go and do the sd loader and re-load BR's build, however i would like to go back to the original HP build.

Would anyone happen to have the flash.dio for the most current HP build?
[Sable] digitalchronic:
well got ahold of a legit flash.dio file from a "friend" internal @ hp... back up and running.. if anyone would like it let me know..
[Sable] Josasp:

What are peoples experience when using opera mobile 9.5 compared to 9.7?

I started to use 9.7 straight away, but it was buggy and would hang for serious amounts of time compared to my m8's HD with 6.5.

Is it because its built into the rom (I dont understand this because the exe is just in the windows folder..)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] truffle1234:
i agree with you, i was using 9.7 on m y WM6.1 device and my WM6.5 device was running 9.5 version, 9.5 is faster. however in WM6.5 i can get 5 tabs but in WM6.1 only 2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] clwydian:
I used 9.7Beta for a while- agree more tabs (two is one less than opera on the touch 0pro curiously) but i found the 9.7b would close and then not reopen (ie it didnt fully close i guess) so it had to go. speed was about the same.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] TheMostToys:
To get more tabs, open Opera, put opera:config in the address, go to User Prefs and change Maximum Allowed Tabs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] wearefree:
I gave up on 9.7 long time ago. 9.5 is better as this is built-in, the zoom bar works, the auto rotation works. The turbo mode for 9.7 is faster, but it stopped working after a while and I can only use it with the standard mode. That's the point where I got rid of it.

However the new opera mini 5 is very nice and especially fast when on EDGE (my house resides in the EDGE coverage when 3G is only half a mile away, duh. Complained to T-mo but they're "working" on it).

How about adding somekinda device info at the device's forum-- like when you open, lets say, Touch HD forum you have a small link at the top which will redirect you to www.pdadb.net specification page with Touch HD specs in it!!!

Mainly because I see all kind of devices on forum and I wish to know their specs, and opening a new tab & writing all the required info in google, is sometimes to hard!! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cagarn:
I'm running the stock ROM from Alltel. Lately my TP has been sucking when it comes to typing on the keyboard. Random keys at random times will stick and the spacebar is the only way for it to stop typing. When I press the delete key once, it will just sit there until I hit the spacebar. Then it will delete the letter and type a space.

I have restarted the phone and the problem persists. I'm thinking the keyboard is going out on me. I don't think it is the OS because the display keyboard works fine.

Any thoughts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] winthropdc:
I have the same issues with lag and sticky keys.

I am using stock HTC Touch Pro ROM.

Pressing the center D-Pad button stops the sticky key,

then I need to clean up the mess.

For Unlocking your device look at the Wiki at Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies. Look at ''2.Unlocking (CID and SIM) G3 and G4 Tutorials''.

This is needed if you want to flash a newer version of Windows.

If you want to try running Android at your Wizard this is the right thread to get starting with.

I hope I have helped ;).-
[G1 General] USNCorpsman:
Okay so i'm in an area where T-mobile only has edge coverage and I'm hating my life right now without 3G, but AT&T has 3G coverage here, so why won't it let me roam on to the faster network? I can pull it up under network services but it just won't let me actually roam on to the network. Is this an issue of the phone simply not having the VPN's and such? Cuz if T-mobile won't charge me for roaming I damn well wanna use it! I'm using Cyanogen's Mod and the Hero 1.3.5 theme. All I want for my birthday is 3G!!!
[G1 General] Dladu:
They use different frequency's for the 3G signal.. thats why unlocked G1's can't use att 3g even if they have a AT&T sim
[G1 General] USNCorpsman:
Hmm... seems strange the G1 would still be able to see the network being that it's using a different signal. Is there any way around this? Cuz they just stationed me in Quantico, VA for the rest of the summer and I'm ready to shoot myself on this Edge crap! And sadly 2 months is just too short of a time to actually get internet installed lol
[G1 General] Denkai:
hum.. I doubt it will help any but thier are som VPN settings floating around the board here that haykuro made. most ROMS come with it, I doubt it'll help though.

if that doesn't help take 2 Motrin and drink plenty of water. /end navy joke
[G1 General] USNCorpsman:
Haha, yeah I'm a corpsman, we're working down here at the Marine Corps officer candidate school, so my mantra has been "Take Motrin, hydrate, and change your socks." These past couple weeks. Yet they somehow still mess those things up lol.
[G1 General] MonkySlap:
Im sorry to say but you cant use 3G on AT&T. Tmobile didnt want to wait for any bands in the 1700mhz or 1900mhz band to become available, so there 3G runs in the 2100/1700mhz band and that is the only band the G1 can use to get 3G. You can see AT&T service but that is voice, not 3G. AT&T 3G runs over the 1700/1900mhz band. here is a artical about this.

[G1 General] USNCorpsman:
Wasn't complaining :p just wondering if there was a tech reason it wasn't working with these builds and if there was a way around it
[G1 General] liamhere:
thread moved

please post in the correct thread please :)

thank you
[G1 General] gurnted:
You must be barely outside of their coverage area. The map shows 3g coverage on both sides of where you are. The schedule that is floating around says they are supposed to expand coverage to Chesapeake, Hampton, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Richmond, and Virginia Beach this summer so you might get lucky and get it before you leave.
[G1 General] PhaseBurn:
Quantico's huge, T-Mobile has no 3G service there, and WiFi is out as NMCI doesn't permit wireless APs.

You're stuck with EDGE on T-Mobile, or EDGE on AT&T if you roam, but you won't get a speed increase if you use it, just a roaming charge. The problem is the frequency, as others have mentioned. AT&T uses 850/1900 where as T-Mobile uses 1700/2100. There's no known way (yet *crosses fingers) to use a T-Mobile G1 with AT&T's 3G service, so sadly, you're going to be stuck for 2 months out there with what you have.

I have my Dream working on AT&T's 3G service, and it works quite well, but it's not a G1. I specifically bought a Rogers Canadian HTC Dream (which is band-compatible with AT&T) for this purpose. So if you're *that* desperate for 3G service, you could spring for a Rogers Dream or Magic phone, but they aren't cheap. Additionally, they don't run custom ROMs yet (we just got root on the Rogers Dream this morning, and the Rogers Magic was only last week). So... There is no perfect solution for you yet if you want 3G and root. I've been living on my ADP1 with EDGE for 5 months now, and it isn't *that* bad, I guess.

On the more "bleeding edge" frontier, there's speculation that if one were to flash the Rogers dream radio to the T-Mobile G1, that it would do 3G on AT&T instead of T-Mo, but nobody's been able to get it done yet. A few people say it's the same chipset, it'll work, a few others say it won't, but till somebody tries it, we'll never know for sure. Either way, it's not currently possible as we don't have a Rogers Dream radio image.

So, there's your options I'm afraid. And something else to consider - even though AT&T says they have 3G, check with somebody else who has their service to see if they're actually getting it first. Quantico is a huge base, and there's no cell towers on it to my knowledge. So it's possible that nobody is getting 3G signal there, on either network.

Hello,

I intend to order the unlocked HTC Touch Diamond II at amazon.co.uk for using in Germany.

Please, could someone confirm, if this device will work in German mobile networks, especially in ePlus?

Please don't laugh if you think it's a dumb question :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twoutlaw:
Hello!

Please tell me why you want to buy this in the UK? The Price isn't better and if it is broken you have to send it to UK back. You can buy the phone in Germany for round about 430 Euro (PDAMax.de)

But I think, this will also work for Germany because it's only another language.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkz:
Not sure if it will help but..

Hello twoutlaw,

thank you for your reply.

I want the English version of the TD2... I could purchase the German one at amazon.de - the online shop I trust ;)

I would get it at amazon.co.uk for ~ 30-40 EUR more than from the German branch; it's OK for me for this deal.

Why I'm thinking about the compatibility: please take a look at the screenshot of the German TD2. It tells us, that the German device has the "DE" radio version (Funkempfängerversion). I don't know, if the "GB" radio will work here. It should, I think :)

[Touch CDMA General] bogus83:
Hi all,

I've recently been lucky enough to get an invite to Google Voice, and as such, I'd like to use it as my primary voicemail. I know how to change the Speed Dial setting so I can dial 1 and get to my GV messages, but I'd like to set up call forwarding or something similar so that anyone who calls my 'old' (original) phone number is sent to the GV number when I don't answer.

Please see this article to see what I'm talking about:

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/...ice-to-add-visual-voicemail-to-your-g1-dream/

I know that WM6 doesn't have an app for GV just yet, and I'm content to receive text messages for now. Is it possible to modify my voicemail functionality in this way? For reference, I'm using Sprint on a Vogue (with VetVito's ROM, but that shouldn't matter here).

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] bogus83:
Nevermind... on Sprint, this is done through setting up "Forward when busy" and "Forward when no answer" with customer service, and it carries a per-minute fee for each use. No way I'm shelling out 20 cents per minute for voicemail. Oh well...
