Hi guys

I've been looking at these folks from some time now, and they seem to have made 6.5 ROMs that work - Clicky!

But I have no idea how to download the roms, neither how to apply them to the lobby one - any help @ that will be appreciated

And by the way - that forum is doing some pretty good stuff about the monet, it'd be nice if we could post the most essential stuff from there (with permission of coruse)

Thanks for the attention :)

cant login? pity theres an unlock tool
[HTC Monet] spasmj:
I've downloaded the latest 6.5 rom from htc365 and can confirm that it works in English with no obvious problems.
[HTC Monet] prodigyfied:
Can you upload it somewhere - rapidshare/other sharing server and make a little guide how to do the operation

I think it'd be highly appreciated here :)
[HTC Monet] spasmj:
First install USPL by following the instructions in this post.

Then extract one of the zip files below and run ROMUpdateUtility.

When first installed, the language will be set to Chinese. To change to English, move to the settings icon (cog) and press the right soft-button. Then press 0, then 2, then right to select 'US English' and finally the left soft-button to save. You'll need to restart the phone to apply the setting.

The clean version does not include the DAB radio software whereas the integrated version has it in Chinese. To get the radio app I copied the 'TTP' folder within 'Program Files' on my wm5 lobster over to wm6.5 and it runs fine. See below for download.

I have only tried the 'Clean' version of the rom.

Monet 6.5 ROM - clean version

Monet 6.5 ROM - integrated version

Monet 6.5 ROM - other version

DAB Radio UK version

Issues so far:

Settings icon on home screen has some Chinese text

Activsync fails to synchronise contacts

Calender display shows months text incorrectly
[HTC Monet] bongmaster:
awesome :) i hope this works better than the last one :) i was forced to go back to wm5 :(

(note to self.. back up numbers this time.. back up numbers:p)
[HTC Monet] spasmj:
I should point out that the 'incorrect calendar display' issue was merely my incompetence - by default it displays Lunar months, but this can easily be switched off.

I still haven't managed to get activesync to synchronise contacts but pim backup worked well enough.

The time taken to start windows is a little annoying, there seem to be 3 or 4 different splash screens now.
[HTC Monet] bongmaster:
just wondering, where is the T9 settings? and if there isnt any T9.. why? O_o
[HTC Monet] prodigyfied:
How did you revert to the original wm5?

That's the only thing stopping me from flashing that 6.5 :D
[HTC Monet] bongmaster:
when i got the 6.1 rom i got the wm5 rom with it, flashed it the same way as i did wm6.1 and wm6.5

i still miss the T9 tho :(
[HTC Monet] prodigyfied:
Can you upload the original wm5 somewhere, just in case something goes wrong when migrating to 6.5
[HTC Monet] bongmaster:
i'm sure i got it on this site thru the wm6 page in this section.. check there and get back to me.

Monet 6.5

thanks for this one 'coz my monet is now running windows 6.5.. i just followed all the instructions and flashed the monet 6.5 clean version.. my monet now looks cool again.. ^_^
[HTC Monet] vo1968:
now running windows 6.5.. i just followed all the instructions and flashed the monet 6.5 clean version.. really easy to do, including changing from Chinese. I have copied the DAB files to phone program files & created a shortcut to start menu, only question is, is it possible to link to TV button on the side of phone? Many thanks for a superb rom
[HTC Monet] sipart:
Many thanks spasmj, I also updated to the clean version and it gives my Lobster a whole new lease of life.

I was hoping to get a newer version of TomTom on it was well - but I gave up and went back to V5.2 (newer versions seem to want a have touch/stylus driven initially - but followed some advise about a particular V7 that is supposed to support keypad - but it wouldn't install).

Also a good tip to get rid of the Chinese on the front screen on Settings is to move to another home screen (I went to Sliding Panel Full).

Also anyone know who to get rid of the Chinese Mail account, I have added my Gmail but can't delete the Chinese one - minor annoyance.

Cheers
[HTC Monet] spasmj:
I'm not sure how you'd do that. I don't know how the tv button works in the original wm5 rom. Does anyone know?

I imagine writing a small program to run in the background and wait for that button press wouldn't be too hard.
[HTC Monet] grayme:
Would AE Button Plus work on it?
[HTC Monet] sipart:
Yes AE Button Plus does the trick, thanks for the tip.

But ques for spasmj - (after updating to 6.5 rom - cheers) I copied the TTP folder to program files on the lobster but when launching the app (DABplayer or DABlauncher) I get nothing - I click to do a scan and nothing on the DAB radio - not even a failure to scan - it just sits there. It does create the TV and Radio folder. Do you have to have your original Virgin sim in? I have unlocked mine so now on o2. My original sim I got with the lobster was never used so I presume it was disabled as it doesn't work - but tried another Virgin PAYG sim and nothing on DAB radio.

After quitting I also seem to have a TV & Radio.Ink shortcut in the recent programs that fails?

Cheers
[HTC Monet] grayme:
My radio used to work fine on O2 (on wm5).
[HTC Monet] sipart:
Thanks, must be due to signal strength then - I'll have to try in a different location, maybe the weather....but always seemed to work OK at home before I did the update (but I haven't used the DAB on the Lobster for a long time).

Thanks for the response.
[HTC Monet] sipart:
Had two collegues who have the Lobster (still on winmo5) and their DAB's work fine but mine still won't work :-( I have tried their aerials/headphones, I have even copied their TTP and TV and Radio foilders over but still get nothing. If I click Tune Channels, their phones bring up a status bar - mine does nothing - does the status bar still appear on your updated lobsters?

I'm thinking perhaps my DAB is broke or the ROM hasn't applied quite right? Everything else if fine.

I also still get the TV and Radio.ink (empty graphic) come up in the recent files after I have launched the dabplayer app - but can't work out where this is pointing.

!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????

Any suggestions welcome :-)
[HTC Monet] nsk:
hi, any new links for the 6.5 rom, please? Or can somebody upload the clean version?
[HTC Monet] bongmaster:
almost 4 and a half years on and my Monet's battery is giving up, a good time to go android so i waiting for my new HTC Wildfire to ship :)

my monet/lobster700 will still stick around if needed, unless someone is in need of one with a full working DAB and WM6.5 rom on it.
[HTC Monet] Hakim Rahman:
it is you are willing to give your htc Monet on others..?? :confused:
[HTC Monet] nsk:
the 6.5 rom is still needed, if someone could upload it, please...
[HTC Monet] spasmj:
I've just re-uploaded the 'clean' version so the link in my original post should work once again.

I've also re-uploaded the UK DAB files, again using the same url as before.

I use a Lobster with the 6.5 clean ROM installed and DAB is still working perfectly. The TV/Radio button does not start the software though. I suspect that if I'd installed the integrated version then that button would work. Unfortunately I don't seem to have kept any other 6.5 ROMs other than the 'clean' version.

I've also found another Monet ROM which I suspect is an original WM5 one though I haven't tried it to find out for sure. If anyone is desperate for that I can upload it too.
[HTC Monet] Nokser:
You have a orginal rom for monet??

Please Bro... up,up this ROM :D
[HTC Monet] spasmj:
Bad news i'm afraid, it was actually one of the other WM6.5 ROMS :(

I still have a couple of old disks to look through so I may yet find it. Also, I still have a couple of WM5 Lobsters and will try and figure out how get the ROM from one of those.
[HTC Monet] spasmj:
I think I've found the WM5 ROM:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/h1q3iz

I haven't tested it on any of my lobsters and don't intend to.
[HTC Monet] grayme:
Thanks, I downloaded it, but luckily didn't need it. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] samluke:
I've done some extensive searching for this one and come up with nothing...

I've found the path to start menu icons on a registry editor, which leads to a .qtc file on HTC-added applications but this field is blank when I highlight a program's IconPath for any applications I have added, eg. Skype, Facebook etc.

How do I go about changing any of the start menu icons to files of my choosing? eg. to some of the brilliant files from iREFLECT to name but one pack.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ricky1305:
YOu can change the menu facelift by refering to tweak guide fROM tOPAZ Tweak page

and lok for TF3D Start Menu option. It is a bit manual & you need to get into registry editor to do that.
[HTC Vox] renier.eggink:
hi

i have an htc tytn2 (kaiser) and i flash it alot because it is my own phone :D

today i got an htc s710 (vox) and now iam itching to flash this extremely slow win mobile 6 phone that belongs the my work

what is the chances of me *#$% this phone?

and if i do is there a way of recovering ?

i just want to make sure because this is not my phone !
[HTC Vox] hashtowent:
firs you need to have a full carrierrom your device is locked to!(look up their website!)

then patch uspl as described in first treath!

this makes you able to flash any rom!

be sure battery is charged over 50% before flashing and be sure all your datas are saved in your computer!(to restore after flash!)

if you reflash carrierrom uspl (supercid allowing flash any rom) is disabled again :) xan return it in case of waranty!
[HTC Vox] renier.eggink:
mmm sound good tho

will give it a try

i cant live with win mobile 6 anymore!!! lol
[HTC Vox] hashtowent:
and dont pull out usbcable before update finished message! and in case of broken update uspl is very important! then you've to flash carrier rom(first enter in botloader mode by pressing camerabutton and plugin usbcable!)

to get uspl follow the readme/how.to exactly!

AND OF COURSE NOBODY IS RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE WITH THIS!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] Paladin13:
Hi there. Just got my Magic 32A.

I was looking for a bluetooth app that can enable sim access to other devices via bluetooth. On HTC Diamond there was an option in the bluetooth setting that woud "Allow Remote Sim Access" via bluetooth in Bluetooth settings. Is there something similar in Magic? My car bluetooth works like that and I desperately need it. Thanks in advance for any response!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Quanni90:
Hello All!

Ive been looking high and low and there isnt one thread specifically adresses my problem with push internet, Im running a custom cooked rom with the lastest manilla and opera 16983 (the one with the htc logo on startup). Other people have managed to get it working but my phone dosent even show a sign that it trying to pre load anything, ive tried some enable push cabs but no avil. Does anyone know if im missing anything or could possibly help me troubleshoot this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Quanni90:
bump - i know someone can help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
yea id love to know this one to cause push internet is non existent on my rom to an im using sheps wm6.5 rom w/tf3d 2 and ive always wanted to know why it didnt work etc!!! :mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tom62:
have you tried the cab by yozgatg, it's for Gen.Y rom but perhaps it works for you ! here http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=194411&d=1244657867
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Quanni90:
tried it for the 3rd time dosent work... i have a feeling its somthing manilla related
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] d-signet:
push internet?

i think you're getting your terminology mixed up

win-mo devices have push EMAIL capability if enabled through an exchange server but it has little to do with your internet access.

AFAIK there is no such thing as push internet

do you have a problem with internet access or push email?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Asphyx:
d-signet - It is part of TF3D2....

I believe Push-net is fixed in the new port of TF3D2 2.1 by yoz...

but be warned...Push internet is the first thing I disable on my roms because it kills your battery life!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tom62:
and RAM...!

[XPERIA X1 Accessories] kanthai:
I've bought new BST-41 Battery off ebay weeks ago.

He claim that they're "100% Original BST-41 New Sony Ericsson Battery X1 X-1 " and "From Sony Ericsson Singapore (NOT CHINA FAKE BATTERY)"

with the price of 17.99$ and free shipping so, I think I should give it a try.

As suspected, it is a fake, very neat fake I must say.

As you can see, they are almost identical.

Hologram reflects at ~30 degree. The fake hologram will elevated from label a little (like stick them on top), but the original will smooth across surface.

Hologram closeup. The fake one have more pixelation than the original.

Look at both SE logo and the word "SONY ERICSSON" around it.

Label closeup. Look at "Sony Ericsson" and "+" (positive), they will have some blur edge and not crisp.

Label closeup (lower part). The word "WNBTS" alignment off a little.

Back side. The fake one will have overlapping label.

Top side. You will notice that the battery shape is not identical, the fake one will have round edge, the original will have more square like edge. This is the easiest way to detect.

Another consideration is the "Moisture Sensor", the fake one will have "plain paper" instead of the moisture sensor (I have tried pouring water over it and the color won't change) and the size is larger too.

Bottom side. The original will have a hole (to depress pressure in case of exploding).

As of now, I've contacted the seller and ask him whether this is the original or not.

He replies "Yes it is original sony battery.. pls try to use it and by using it, u will know it is original."

What should I do?

File a dispute to Paypal? Contact SE to confirm it? Report the item to ebay?

I want to hear an opinion from you guys.

Thanks everyone who read this.

Kan
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] wazaaappp:
Man you have to take case in the matter... firstly report to ebay, and I think that ebay has the obligation to report to SE... do not contact the seller because ebay get throught there at the beginning, skip it and go right to open a case and report fake description, unsatisfied and sort of...
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] michaelthemage:
Firstly, what I have learned: "only dummies buy batteries on ebay"!

If you want the 'real' thing for sure, don't be cheap and go directly to a Sony Style Store and pay the price that this battery costs!

So, now: for me the 'original battery' that came with the phone looked fake to me from the beginning, I opened the X1 box the first time, anyways.

Second, I have a 09W23 model phone now and the battery looks now totally different if you compare with the 'old 2008'! It even states now 1450/1500 mAh!!! So looks and sounds now even 'faker'.

To Your case now, did you put it in the phone yet? I read somewhere that if one uses a 'fake' battery, the phone displays "Alien Battery" on the display. Not sure if this is the same with this.

At least for me, especially since the manufacture dates are different (the supposed fake one is later) if that is a fake, they did a pretty good job.

In order for ebay or paypal to do something (at least here in the U.S. of A.) you need to PROOF that this is a fake. And you can only do that by going to SE and have them confirm this is a fake! Then you can complain and file a report with ebay/paypal and get your money back. And hopefully learned your lesson and buy it direct at SE in the future! ;)

In all my years of having SE phones, I never(!) found a real battery on ebay (unless somebody broke their phone and sold their battery!)! This is one thing one should not be: too cheap, and buy at the real place to get the real deal! (You say you paid 17.99... come on, the real thing runs for 59 or so! And you probably bought this from a user in Asia...somewhere....!)

By the way, I use the mugen power battery and compared to the SE OEM battery, that one looks like the cheapest crap you can imagine. But so far, all well and it has 1800mAh. AND the most important fact, the Temperature stays at only 25.9° C ! (the orig. stays between 35 and 49)
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] commodoor:
You say that Mugen is a good replacement? and the temprature is low do you notice it, like when i use my phones wifi/gps the back is of the phone gets really hot. is it the same with Mugen battery?
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] souljaboy:
yep i had no problem with my mugen 1800, only that its a bit more sensitive to total discharge(avoid at all costs) , but it works nice and doesnt say alien battery

the mugen is an after market product where their company have standards and try to make theirselfes a good name by releasing quality products ,

but this is a simple fake , trying to get as much money as possible from ppl who fall for it , no quality standards whatsoever

dont get it twisted
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] Steve_TLS:
They did a good job. You did a good job.

I'd start pushing buttons, but not expecting anything to come of it, just for my own satisfaction. eBay has no problem with fakes and misrepresentation as long as they get their fees.

At least they spelt Sony Ericsson right. Not like the double capacity batteries.
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] netsurfz:
From the picture provided, the build quality isn't the same. You can definately tell which one is genuine by looking at it, but the scary thing is the counterfeit items look better and better. Not for long, we won't be able to tell which one is the real product.

Have you tested it? If the performance is fine, its worth it.
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] michaelthemage:
Yes, I do say! There were several older threads about this phone getting warm/hot. And one person suggested because the battery should be of higher capacity. So I went for this Mugen Power 1800mAh.

When it came it looked really like "what the heck did I buy", and the charge seems to be shorter then the OEM (like about 1 hour or so). BUT the most important part for me is solved, the battery temp stays ALWAYS below 30°C!

Once my OEM went up to 55 and somebody said its close to im/explode.

The phone still gets warm but probably because of the CPU working, definately NOT the battery.

I recommend the 1800mAh anytime! But not this 3600 as somebody stated this is just 2 of those packed together and the phone cannot calculate the real charge and this cover you need looks cheap and probably is!

Hope that helped! Just don't buy this or any other battery off ebay! Go buy it at the dealer to be safe rather then sorry! ;)
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] poetryrocksalot:
This is a very interesting and INFORMING TOPIC with alot of informing posts.

Anyways, I don't think your battery can implode due to overhearing.
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] prewed:
kanthai

how is performance in comparison with original one?
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] zkyevolved:
I'd also like to know. I am currently in the dilemma of deciding between the 1800 and 3600. The 1800 keeps teh size, but the 3600 offers the power.... Hmm... I'm opting for the 3600 but I wouldn't be able to know if it's time to recharge or not! So .... Also, the 1800 is only 25 euros while the 3600 is 70 euros.

I'd want to have my phone last ALL Day with 3G and leaving a chat application open/connected.
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] poetryrocksalot:
skyevolved...this thread does not talk about the Mugen 1800 MAh battery for the Xperia X1.

This topic is about the OEM Xperia X1 Battery versus the FAKE Chinese Generic Battery. Both are 1500 MAh.

skyevolved, please, just take my advice and buy an extra ORIGINAL X1 battery and carry it with you all the time.
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] kanthai:
Well, the FAKE battery keep shutting my phone down (just gone blank, no warning) when battery meter reach around 40%, so I assume that the capacity is lower/compromise.

At fisrt, I have decided to keep it, but after it's shut my phone down without warning many times I think I should file a complaint to Paypal.:mad:

I've try to contacted SE to confirm these, but no respond from them yet.

May be if many people report them with counterfeit battery, they will act.

Can anyone who have experience dealing with fraud items on ebay help me sort this out please?
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] poetryrocksalot:
Easy, file a dispute NOW. And give a reason to why you file the dispute, and paypal will forward that reason as a warning to the seller.
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] spikegotti:
am i the only one including the thread starter with a slight dent close to the top of the battery? my battery has the same dent lol
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] pdamouse:
It's been over a months now, I'm curious - how did this turn out?

I'm thinking of ordering one of these 'OEM' Ebay batteries simply because they are so cheap now (< $5 USD) - Even if I can get an hour of safe usage on a charge I'd say I got my money's worth at that price point. That's the issue though, safe - I've used many non-OEM batteries in the past and the lack of a pressure release is what worries me most, because of the temps the X1 can get up to with GPS and radio active.

Not sure if I should go with the $4.25 "Non-OEMs" or the $4.75 "OEMs" - both are fakes obviously, but one just tries to be a cheap battery while the other tries to be cheap and look authentic - wondering which would be better in that case...

Peter
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] Sfkn2:
Wow, very nice writeup. Thanks for the headsup.
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] scote:
I bought one off ebay.co.uk from "echnouk" for £9.95 they are touted as removed from returned phones. Mine looks genuine when compared to your pics and lasts longer than the original battery does now.

If anyone is after a cheap genuine battery I can recommend this guy
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] Nullstring:
@kanthai

very educational!

thanks you very much
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] Nullstring:
i have confirmed that my X1i battery is orginal! thanks again.
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] Reversedhex:
i fail to see the problem, if we dont notice the difference who cares if it is fake or not?
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] pdamouse:
I hear you - and for me I've had a fake spare battery for my SD750 Camera for years and it lasted longer than the OEM one.

I did purchase, for $2.99 + $0.50 shipping, a fake battery on eBay. I knew it was fake, and I was fine with it not lasting as long as the OEM. However, my problem is that it has a tendency to die instantly. It goes from 50% power reading (or some other similar high level) to 0% in an eyeblink and just shuts off. Not the best thing to have in a phone that you may not be using regularly, but just expect to ring when you get a call...

Just my 2 cents - if you have no other way to get power and you check it often then the battery is still worth $3 - but just don't expect to have a warning when it's running low.
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] sonus:
Does anyone have any experience with the Amazon battery? Their BST-41 sells around 30-40 US dollars. However, I have no idea if the battery is fake or real.. If anyone knows, please speak up!
[XPERIA X1 Accessories] siemensfun1:
i contat to that seller who is selling this battery abut 44$

and answer was like that

"we sell only brand new and original product"

but i don't belive that

where thay get this batteryes so low price when REAL Original on SONYSTYLE is about 89$

:(
