An activated GPRS, EDGE or UMTS is necessary.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] go2dl:
no i'm not !

you mean if i want to browse maps with gps, i have to connect to the internet ??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] penny1stu1:
Oh yes the maps are not on your device they are downloaded!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TheDonkey:
Google Maps gets your location from the GPS sensor, but then has to go online to download the actual map data for that area.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] go2dl:
so if the map of the area we are in, was downloaded befor then i think there wont be any problem ! i think it would be just like the quick gps software in diamond ! am i right ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] diogoperas:
I think that should be a way of download the map and use it offline. Some cracker should make it easy :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] artemich2003:
hehe, ;) i tried 5 different apps and currently use gpsVP /w cached Gmaps imgs

pretty good for a free app, altho not totally easy to set up as there is no info...

since there is no maps for japan that i know of, never tried a commercial product, then again i prefer gmaps and my brain for navigation ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sccz97:
in the last few versions of gmaps just install it onto the storage card and then you can just save whats in the applicationdata\googlemaps folder and use that offline

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] inferno1:
hey everybody, first post here....

i read that i should not start new posts if theres one going already.

I got my diamond about a month ago, its an alltel cdma diamond with original ROM, no registry tweaks, pretty much stock.

the GPS is being finicky. ive tried atleast 10-15 different GPS applications (all freeware or trials) and they are alway hit or miss. sometimes i get a 6-12 sat lock in seconds, even indoors... but sometimes i cant lock on outside even after 15min or more (even if i had a lock on less then 8hrs earlier). Ive been trying to find a pattern to why it sometimes works (certain settings, maybe after a resets, quick gps, etc)

side note, i used the G-Watch app while in poland where i have no phone coverage. it worked perfectly everytime i turned it on with almost instant lockon. but back in florida every program i try sometimes works and sometimes doesnt, even if i turned the phone to airplane mode.

question 1- is this considered normal for the alltel diamond

question 2- does the software that costs money (ie tomtom) work any better/more consistently

question 3 - could there be something wrong with my phone

question 4 - any ideas how to make it more stable

thanx for the help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] inferno1:
also, on some of the gps programs, it will say i have found up to 8 or so sats, but wont lock onto any of them...

thanx again

How select in Explorer, Total Commander...etc several file or folder traction stylus (drag drop)??

I know, that it goes setting register
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] kitarolivier:
In total Commander, use the icon CTRL that allow you to multi-select file : one click on a file does not deselect the file.

If you want to multi select with 'gesture', you must disable the scrolling gesture for this app. It should be in registry, but I don't know where.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] miktt:
I am "Ctrl A" or "Shift" apply

However gesture it is going throughout system

into 100% that is going switch registers system (I'm knew it, but has forgot)I Ctrl A or Shift use

I recently hard reset my phone. I just downloaded pandora from a .cab I saved. Anyway I was like, well I got to log in. To my surprise, it was already logged in and had my stations. How is that possible? I hard reseted!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bouvrie:
I was just reading something about HTC Sense for the Android phone HTC Hero on Tweakers.

There it is stated that

or in English:

In theory we should be able to bring it to the Blackstone and cook it in some of the ROMs here. Who knows more about Sense and the possibility of porting Sense to HTC Blackstone?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lazy79:
thats right but we need a win mob rom with sense for that finally ;) and so we have to wait until htc releases it
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sawer82:
There won't be any Sense on WM, HTC has denied it, will be Android only.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bouvrie:
Can you point to the source of your statement. It seems HTC's marketing executive Michael Wang states it is not only for Android, which would imply that it might be for Windows Mobile as well.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] blastman:
thats the 2nd time in two threads you've stated that. Where are you getting this information from???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sawer82:
It was on MobileBurn i think, they wanted to confirm the information and were told that it won't appear on Windows Mobile. Well there is no official statement yet anyway, only half cooked statements.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hmmhmm1222:
I ordered the tp2 and are a owner of the blackstone to, and after i saw the interface and what android is capable of, i decided to write a mail to htc, and i got a reply that the new interface will not come to tp2. But there will be a wm 6.5 update with tf3d for the tp2. and its very unlikley it will come to the blackstone i think, if it comes it will be unofficially. myself has canceled my tp2 and will wait some more and see what will come out :) hero will come in two flavors, one with qwerty and one without (hero). And maybe later some more phones, What i am wondering is would it be easier to run winmo 6.1 on an android phone or is it just as hard to get it as it is to get android on the windows phone?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
I've gone to Mobile Burn, and there is no such statement, that it would not be coming to Windows Mobile, in fact there is no mention of Windows Mobile in the article at all. It mentioned it wouldn't come to T mobile phones due to licensing restrictions and R&D costs.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sawer82:
Sorry for taking so long to respond, i had to go throught my browsing history.

Here is where i read it: http://www.intomobile.com/2009/06/24/htc-sense-ui-taking-android-to-the-next-level.html

But to tell the truth, i also searched Mobile Burn and didn't find any statement.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ASK768:
There are screenshots of sense on windows mobile. Its not the same as the android version but rather an update of the rhodium tf3d

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529650&highlight=sense

here, first pic.

Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jjCNIZcM5s found a video on the topix thread. It seems to be running on a blackstone too which is nice. First impressions are that you never seen windows mobile AT ALL so that's no more ugly all settings tabs. Seems a bit laggy, but surely, after a good cook (im looking at kwbr :D ) gets their hands on it, i think itll be just as fast as manilla 2.0
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
@ask768 yeah not interested in tf3d v2.5...Sense looks way better.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
reading the actual HTC press release, found this

So i think it is safe to say Sense UI should be coming to Windows Mobile.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] crashDebug:
sorry it seems a touch pro 2 (which is more or less the same thing anyway)

EDIT nevermind i was wrong
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bowow:
lool you're right, i want the hero rom on my rhodiuuuuuuuuum :'(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] purec0de:
actually it IS a HD in a clear crystal case its running on but its NOTSense its Manilla (TF3D) version 2.5

and there are already ROMs on the forum trialling it...but its still rather buggy..i tried Miri's ROM
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] maati:
Manila 2.5 IS Sense!

http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=5310
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] str0nz0:
Sense = Android

Manila = Windows Mobile

Manila 2.5 != Sense

(Sense = Cool)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] maati:
Wrong.

Sense = the name for the concept/philosophy behind all HTC interfaces

unnamed = HTC's Android interface

Manila = HTC's WM interface

==> Both Manila and HTC's Android interface are Sense.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] str0nz0:
2late, everybody is refering to sense when they talk about the new android ui.

all the rest is manila.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] maati:
That's wrong nevertheless, and it's causing confusion.

Manila 2.5 is part of Sense and Manila will stay on Windows Mobile. The interface that HTC has programmed for Android won't come to Windows Mobile but Manila will evolve and eventually become more like that Android interface in the future.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] purec0de:
well this is all as clear as mud isn't it!! :D

i can make noSense of it !! lol....

...thats really not funny is it?

Don't think it is possible (yet). The threads you have visited are development threads. I believe it is not yet fully ported, if at all possible.

I managed to use this thing called HARAT that lets me use Android, but theres hardly any features on there. No wifi, blutooth, PHONE! lol pretty pointless.

At present Android is not available for the Blackstone.

As bouvrie quite rightly stated these thread are all development threads and state 'DEV' in title. Once they have been solved, title will change to say 'SOLVED' or something similar

Hi,

I have tried both TAI's v22 Lite ROM and am currently running Mold 5.1 on my Hermes. They both look and work great... Except I get NO sound at all.

I tried various settings, but with no success.

This problem is global: no sound for ring tones, video files, mp3 files, "clicking" sounds when making selections, etc. Even the phone has no sound, though I can make connections...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Anyone know of a headphone audio adapter that will adapt from the rose platform to the iPhone style earphones\microphone combo?

Ideally it would also allow for use of the FM radio on the phone speaker with just the adapter used and no headset.

Looks like these won't pass along microphone functions only but I assume otherwise they would work...

Hi, I use the HTC HS U110 adapter for using another set of different earphones with it.

Not sure whether microphone/earphone combo would work with it (never tested). When I had to make calls, there was a little mic on the adapter. And as it was clipped to near my mouth the other person could still be heard.

Hi folks,

sorry for being a super noob but I need information which is for everyone clear but unfortunately not for me. I have to decide which version of CABs should I download if there are two versions available. A normal ine and a CFC version. But what the hell is CFC?

Please help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cookiemonster55:
Its a compression method for the image files that greatly reduces file size
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] optiknerv:
Its a good job you stated what it was in relation to. See here lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFC
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] endursa:
i think it could be compact flash card ?!?!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
CFC = ChainFire's Compressor :)

It means images in the archive use a special form of compression your ROM must support to be able to use them...

CFC= cholo-floro-carbon, just remebring my good old days at high school, lol

Generally, the CFC version is faster and smaller than a non-compressed version, so you'd want to choose that instead :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SuperAdvan:
I wanted to ask MPD about two different contracts I am interested in below as I really would like to order a Touch Pro 2 today, but they never answer the phone!:

T-Mobile

700

Minutes

per month Unlimited

Text

+

Unlimited mobile web

per month £34.26

Line rental

per month

was £35.00 3 months

Free insurance

2.5% VAT Off

Line Rental

Looks good until you look at the info, maximum browsing cost per day £1!!!!

Vodafone:

300

Minutes

per month Unlimited

Text

Unlimited mobile web

per month £34.26

Line rental

per month

was £35.00 3 months

Free insurance

2.5% VAT Off

Line Rental

Now this deal looks good too but says nothing about daily browsing costs, nor does it on the Vodafone website.

Can anyone confirm that both above deals incurr EXTRA browsing/email/surfing costs?

I want to buy my HTC TP2 today but there is no point getting it and having to incurr large daily charges for a device that really is going to primarily be connected to the net daily.

Cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aerotec:
Both deals have inclusive internet so there will be no additional charge.

The T-Mobile £1 charge only applies if you don't have an add on Web n'Walk package, which the contract you quoted does have.

I think the W&W deal has a fair use policy of 1gb. I have had W&W for a few years now and despite tethering to my laptop and using data on my WM devices heavily I have never had a letter from T-Mobile asking me to reduce my use.

However I am concerned about the difficulty in contacting MPD. My TP2 is misbehaving. Not sure yet if it is a hardware fault but lack of communications with MPD worries me. Guess I will have to contact HTC but I want the option of a replacement handset rather than a repair.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SuperAdvan:
Thank you for you're reply aerotec.

Well to be honest I have contacted them by email (wednesday) with no reply and called them around 10 times since then with no reply including leaving voice mail this morning - this is very worrying and a major issue if anything goes wrong with the phone, it has totally put me off.

I'm considering Expansys now as they have returned all my emails quickly, I didnt even have to call.

I hope yours gets sorted mate.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drawflex:
if you go directly to voda mate, on their bussiness page, you can get a free HTC TP2, 900 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited internet for £34.03 + vat... hold in, i'll link it.

HERE IT IS

18 month contract... are the ones you list 18mnth ?

It looks alot better to go directly to voda or am i missing something ?

EDIT : To get the plan i was on about, hit the 18 month click box and click 'view all plans'
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aerotec:
The MPD deal is still pretty good. I took the 12 month deal as it worked out about the same as buying it unconnected.

I just hope I can sort out the handset problem though it has worked ok today.

I drove 5hrs yesterday and the TP2 kept giving me connection errors and Tomtom kept hanging on me. Why can't my gadgets just WORK! :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] danmb:
Thats the exact deal I got, although they don't have any more stock till monday apparently, but there was one available in my local store so she reserved it for me, and i picked it up same day.

MPD supply a non-brandaed, stock HTC TP2, where is vodafones is branded is the only real difference.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SuperAdvan:
Thats a damn good deal, beats T-Mobile hands down.

I wish I could get one from my local store, but none have any.

I would prefer non-branded, but I'll definately take a look at that!

Thanks!

EDIT: Pretty sure -T-Mobile give you 1GB fair usage policy whereas Voda is 500MB?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drawflex:
I've just signed up for that deal aswell, and yeah, no stock till monday, I went to my local store and they'd just sold the only one they had... so i gotta wait :(

Apparently coz it's a bussiness phone local stores hold hardly any stock anyways..

More time to dowload goodies and fill up the 8GB card i just bought for it ;)

EDIT : Also my local store didn't want to honour this deal as they said ' it's a bussiness only deal, were not a bussiness shop' so i'd recommend calling the number on the voda site, they were pleasant enough to deal with.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Philio25:
Don't go with T-Mobile, they're worse than useless.

In this thread, issues I've had with them:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SuperAdvan:
You guys are a great help thanks.

Ok I phoned Vodafone, they are currently stocking them in:

Middlesborough (18!!)

Guildford

Thats about it according to the really helpful lady that I spoke to.

I wont be using T-Mobile then based on your issues mate, cheers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SuperAdvan:
By the way, how bad is the branding? is it possible to get rid of it using another ROM yet?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Philio25:
I quite like it (not sure how many share my opinion here though).

Was getting bored of the black HTC theme on my other HTC phones (TyTN II/Touch HD).

To change the ROM you'd just need to install a new bootloader to unlock it and then install whatever ROM. I think the stock ROMs are available on the wiki, bear in mind it invalidates your warranty though. I've not done it myself since having the original TyTN handset and loading a custom ROM but it's fairly simple, a mate of mine did his TP1 the other day when he was round my place, didn't really pay much attention but it was basically the same process.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SuperAdvan:
Ok sounds easy enough, thanks.

So would this also enable me to download the official HTC ROMs and the WM 6.5? or do you need to have an unbranded HTC phone for this?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

MPD got back to me finally so all good.

So my choice is now unbranded (at extra cost £89 with a slightly inferiour voda contract) or branded (free with a better contract) - hmmm!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drawflex:
from how i see it... i might be wrong (i'm still wet behind the ears) you cant flash any rom to any TP2 yet untill someone comes up with a hardSPL for it (dunno about un-branded though) someone please confirm ?

From what i've read in the rom devolopment section they're working on it.

Once that's done.. you'll be able to whack any ROM on it and get rid of any branding.

Till then you gotta live with the branding i think.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SuperAdvan:
Thanks - all my questions answered, much appreciated all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stunno:
The branding is AWFUL! pink white grey and black

But it is very easy to undo without flashing. There is a thread in the themes section, install one file and its gone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
got mine from MPD and yeah they were a pain to get thru too via phone sometimes and email! i am very persistent so kept ringing till i got an answer sometimes 5 times back to back but i get thru. emails were answered quite quickly and i even had my contracts emailed to me for signing so i could get phone next day.............impressive! i did however speak to another gentleman who had no clue what i was on about when i enquired bout the postage of my phone. i got the t-mobile combi 30 deal where you got 700 mins plus unlimited texts w/out w&w as i already have a t-mobile line fully loaded on flext 35. it cost me £29.15 monthly and i paid £45 for phone!

that deal for £34.25 is quite good and phone is free. you get an unbranded and unlocked handset which is the biggest plus. getting the phone from voda direct means that it will come with their version of the stock rom which is not very good at all! keep ringing till MPD answers as they do eventually..............you need to get phone unbranded to truly experience the beauty of the phone. that IMO beats the lack of contact from MPD. when you do get thru you will get sorted. i think it gets rather busy in there and it is only a small shop with limited number of staff. it is also a walk in shop not online based like others. if they are busy dealing with walk in customers they won't answer phone!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
that doesn't get rid of the overal performance as base rom will still be voda branded and doesn't work well at all
