I have installed the vga TOMTOM 7 on my HTC Touch HD, and just purchased the Australian Map from TomTom website for navigator, but for some reason the home application doesn't allow me to download it, it says

"This item does not work on your device. Therefore, it cannot be installed"

Any idea why? do I need to edit the tomtom configuration file to fool the check for diamond or touch pro?

Hi ,

I come across this new official HotFix for BlueTooth for HTC on many website.

But it's stated only for HTC Diamond 1, Htc Touch Pro 1 and HTC HD....

Do anyone know if we can install this for TD2???

Anyone know abt this new HotFix from HTC abt the BlueTooth problem?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] -Sie-:
It is only listed under the support pages for those devices and nothing noted yet under Topaz.

http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=249&act=sd&cat=all

Non affected products

HTC devices running Windows Mobile 5.0 are not affected because the OBEX FTP service is not implemented in that OS version.

HTC devices using Widcomm Bluetooth Stack instead of Microsoft Bluetooth Stack are not affected, presently only HTC TOUCH PRO™ 2.

Other vendors’ Windows Mobile devices are not affected either: ASUS, Samsung, LG, ...

I believe the Topaz uses the Widcomm stack like Touch Pro 2, Just keep an eye on the HTC Support page and dont leave Bluetooth on when you dont need it.

Full details of the exploit can be found here;

Although I don't have the ftp tab, so don't need to install it, what does the ftp tab do? (I know what ftp is BTW!)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Tom Lenferink:
READ CAREFULY:

Note:

1. This hotfix can only be applied on Diamond2 which has the FTP service preinstalled. Before installing, please first check to see if the FTP service is on your phone by tapping Settings > Communications > Settings > Bluetooth and verifying there is tab named FTP.

2. If there is a pop-up message saying “This hotfix is not compatible with your device,” it means the device has applied the fix already or device doesn’t have the BT FTP service and the phone does not need to install it.

(lets see if this becomes a sticky :P )

Hello all. I just received my brand spanken new Touch Pro 2 and im currently playing with it to figure it out. Now most of you vet WinMo users know generaly what you want/need to do with your phone as soon as you get it. You know the tweaks that need to be done to make it faster, and what Aps work better than the defaults. While i know that knowledge is spread all around the forum, i though it would be nice if we collect that knowledge and pool it into one thread so that new owners can go right to it, and pick out everything they want with out hunting..

To that end, now that i am a new owner, i would like to know what I should do to it first and foremost. Ive heard their is a way to tweak the camera to make it preform better (for instance), and i know theirs a way to turn off, or make a quicker way to switch on and off 3g. This is manly the kind of stuff im looking for..

Also. Ive seen a recommendation on how to charge the battery for the first time. Pretty much Anything you guys can think of that new owners should/or need to do to get their Touch Pro 2 working in Top order. I would like to know this (so i dont end up running a slower version cause i missed something..

So how bout it? (i will edit this post as suggestions/links are posted)

Hi all,

So here is the deal, I have 1 ISP email account and 4 gmail accounts id like to redirect/forward to a Live account to take advantage of Windows Live push.

Anyone know of a cheap(or free..) service that would do this .. and forward the mails on to the Live/Hotmail account instantly (otherwise no point in useing Live push is there ..)

Anyone have any suggestions ?
[General Topics] Bulldog:
The best Current free real push mail is www.win.alol.net.br which is MS exchange server 2007. Therefore you can also sync. not only your mails but all your PIM. Furthermore with a little donation you can even change the "from" setting by sending or replying to emails. If you have installed outlook 2002/2003/2007 on your desktop you can also connect to exchange server with your desktop and have all the emails and PIM sync. As result you have all the PIM info on your desktop automatically sync. With your device over there air...forget about plugging your device ever day to your computer to sync.:D

So what you need to do is forward all your Gmail accounts to win.alol.net.br account and you will receive all your emails in one single account. I am using it for couple of weeks (also with Gmail) and it is great.
[General Topics] Xs1nX:
Problem with that solution is it doesn't help with my main ISP account, that ive had for around 15 years as they unfortunately don't support email forwarding at all.

The ideal solution for me is a reliable instant forwarding service.. ive looked and the closest I can find to instant is 1 minute which kinda defeats the object of using the Live/Hotmail push service..

There is no way i can work out what id need to change and where after 15 years of using the same primary email. So i can ether find the above or forget about WinMo Push it seems.
[General Topics] Bulldog:
Be frank it is strange that your cant forward your ISP emails however can you access your ISP account trough POP3???

If yes and if you really can’t convince your ISP to forward Emails to another account then contact the win.alol.net.br service guys ( very very helpful people) then let them “pull trough pop3” your ISP emails
[General Topics] Xs1nX:
Strange or not i was told "no can do" by them regarding forwarding.

Ill look into the win.alol.net.br thing if they could indeed set up a "live"/instant forward from my isp account. Have an email address i can contact someone about that on ?
[General Topics] Bulldog:
monitoralol@alol.net.br that is the email for for service people they actually respond under 2 hours. good luck
[General Topics] deedee:
Other possibility is Seven Beta This will allow you to setup all the accounts in their own rights and their servers poll for new mail and forward it out to the PPC. No forwarding of anything necessary.
[General Topics] Xs1nX:
Sent em an email last night, no reply as yet..
[General Topics] Xs1nX:
Received a reply saying they could not do the "Pull" thing :(

So im back to my original question.. Anyone know of a instant email forwarding service ?
[General Topics] deedee:
As mentioned above Seven Beta should be able to do it. I've tried it on may different accounts and it's worked on all of them.
[General Topics] Xs1nX:
Had a play with SEVEN

It doest do POP Push ..as well POP it seems cant do that. SEVEN Polls every 10 mins or so which is well just like a normal email client. Also the "Client" software does some very strange things on my phone to.. seems its only works if the SEVEN client is the frontmost application which is useless.
[General Topics] Bulldog:
Have you try to offer a donation to see whether that makes it possible??? :D Well definitely pulling Pop3 is possible if alol doesnt wanted do it as a free service you might consider to contact payed push service privider. some one here in the forum offering a push service for resonable price...see whether he wants to do it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=372453
[General Topics] drmorley:
Have Gmail POP your ISP account that doesn't support forwarding. Gmail will "POP" the mail and then setup Gmail to forward it to your Exchange account.

You might also want to consider buying a domain and consolidating your email accounts. It'll make life easier in the long run.
[General Topics] charge1313:
Ummm... let me get this straight - you want your 4 gmail and 1 ISP accounts forwarded to your live mail account.

You then want to get all the mail that reaches your various gmail and ISP accounts pushed to your winmo device.

Am I right? Or is there something I'm not getting here?

If I am right (And I have a feeling i'm not) why don't you simply set gmail(s) to automatically forward all email to the live account. Gmail does this instantly.

If your ISP email account doesn't support email forwarding you can have live mail pull its contents every hour via pop3 and then push that to your phone via live push.

If intervals of an hour are too much you might want to try getting gmail to access your ISP's account via pop3 and then forward the mail to the live mail account... I don't know how small gmai's polling interval is.

I use the gmail->hotmail (@msn.com) -> pocket pc route too... the system is pretty much a true push mail setup... Mail sent to my gmail account arrives within a minute or two.

I hope I helped...
[General Topics] Xs1nX:
I have been experimenting with an free exchange account from alol.net.br and useing gmail to pull from my pop account and the forward to the exchange account.

This is realy not working to good, its taking upto an hour for gmail to pull/forward mail. Email sent to the alol.net.br address directly is working as expected(i.e instant) so its not a problem there.
[General Topics] Bulldog:
Well again pulling with free service you will never achieve a real push effect. Most of them have preset pull intervals which are about 1 hour.

ISP account is and will be continuing always to be root of your problem. Obviously with not able to forward emails to another account they make sure they bound you!!!

I understand that 15 years is long time and I am not sure how much emails you are receiving to there, but I believe be able to be independent and able to control your email account is a MUST in current time. Therefore I trust Time did for you come to make difficult but right decision. 1) you need ask with all force the ISP to make it happen 2) Open new Personal Email account in Gmail(my personal favoured as it give all option to be in charge of my mails) and Inform all your contacts that your mail has changed. I know it is painful thing but you do it ones right!! And you still have access to your ISP account which I think it makes easier. That is my personal opinion for Long term solution for you to be in control of your emails!!!

Anyhow for now I would have one more idea to forward your mails from ISP to another account but that would require that you keep your home computer always on. That would give you option to pull your emails every 1minute and forward to your i.e alol account. But I guess keeping home computer always on will not be a option for you??

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] thes3raph1m:
ok so im trying to read things already posted, but there are too many posts to read and at this rate im not gonna get anything done and probably brick my (valuable) phone

so ill break it down into some simple questions that cannot possibly have a biased answer and the rest i can work out through trial and error

firstly, radio versions

i have 1.08.25.08.

many people are saying "woo hoo 1.00.25.05 is great" am i right in assuming this is an old build?

secondly the actual version number

is is as simple as the higher the number, the newer the radio? or do some of the numbers mean specific things like the 1.08.25.08 the first 08, does that mean vodafone uk (my carrier) or is it litteraly a version thing?

thirdly, which radio stacks will work (full functionality, not sort of works, or works but no 3g) on vodafone in the UK.

ok? i can try out all the radio versions that meet the third questions requisites and i can filter the versions i will try with the understanding of the first and second questions.

now, onto ROM versions.

im not so bothered about ROM's as the performance of the device seems ok to me, however, so as to remain informed i must ask.

WM 6.5, worth the upgrade? better features? i may simply look for a changelog, but has anyone tried it on the diamond, as the diamond was not built for 6.5 how does it handle the OS.

are there any rom's that come particularly recommended for their reliability, as my ideal phone would be stable, with good battery life (i know this is connected to the radio stack, but the ROM must also play some part) compatible and integrated with facebook and twitter (like on the diamond2)

also other than the ROM and the radio stack, is there anything else that needs updating? if so, please provide some info, if you must link to a wiki, please link to a relevant page, not the wiki as a whole... the idea of my asking is to save me trawling through hundreds of pages to find the 2 or 3 paragraphs i want... i am not google spider lol ( and i dont expect anyone here to be either, so im not fussed with detailed info, just an outline would be great, for any of the above points! im fairly clever, but the questions above are stumping me as im coming v late to this whole ROM issue and while the tutorials are good, im confident i could sucessfully flash my diamond, i fear i know nothing of the merits of the ROM's that the chefs are cooking.) anywho, im off to bed now, as its gone 4am and i have work at 3pm and my son will invariably wake me up around 8 so i must sleep now or forego it completely (dont you dare tempt me lol)

many thanks in advance to anyone who offers their help here.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] imatrix:
As you have seen, there are quite few version of WM6.5 out there in the forum. from time to time, I load new releases which I think probably good enough to have a go, be frank, I havent found any WM6.5 cooked ROM suitable for me yet. most time, I find it's a bit sluggish. However, keep in mind, WM6.5 is not exactly mature yet.

For a good reliablity and performance, I woud recommend WM6.1 still. so you have to try each ROM yourself. It would create a debate here if I tell you which ROM i think best. have fun flashing!

Regarding Radio question, I think u rather post a question in the Radio thread. many ppl would be more than happy to help.

I have tried active sync on 2 different PC's XP/vista and my laptop XP SP3 non will sync. I cannot access the SD card for anything but pictures taken with the phone.

Lol! It shouldn't brick your phone. If you are unsure if it is app unlocked, then run the app unlock procedures at the top of the forum in the first sticky. You won't damage anything running them on an already unlocked phone.

If this is a 6.1 ROM already try going to the settings/connection and select USB/PC. If there is an option for advanced functionality uncheck it.

Thank you but I have done this many times. Checked, Unchecked, Usb charging checked and Unchecked in all combinations. Turn off an on after each. Turn on all settings in comm manager as well as off.

At this point I am looking for a way to flash a Rom. I will be able to try a T-Mobile Dash WM5 rom and hope that works in some way or if I am even able to since the USB connection doesn't show. I don't understand why I would be able to charge but no error on connection or even that there is something plugged into any USB port front back or otherwise.
