My current phone is a HTC touch pro and I love windows mobile and the unlimited customization potential, but I'm starting to get tired on the TP in general..

I've decided that whatever phone I get next I want an all touch screen device..I'm toying with the idea of the Touch HD or the Magic (G2)..my problem is that I don't have access to either phone to play with before I purchase and can't decide which I would enjoy more..

I love the fact that the touch hd has a much larger screen than the TP, whereas the Magic has a vga screen..I think that the smaller screen size could get annoying without a hardware keyboard, but since the Magic is capacitive touch screen (big plus in my book) I read that the on screen keyboard is great to use and the android os is coming along quite well..

So i'm basically looking for opinions, should I stick with the tried and true WM Touch HD or go with the new android os with a capacitive touch screen and get the Magic?

Any opinions and all help are appreciated!

Thanks!

Have a VX6900 from verizon, wondering if its possible to unlock it and use it with Boost Mobile's $50 everything plan? I am new to this and being I like the phone, wanted to know if its possible to move the phone to Boost??
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
Welcome to the forum.

Your phone can be unlocked to work with any CDMA network.

I am not familiar with Boost Mobile so I do not know wether it is a CDMA or GSM network. If it is GSM, your VX6900 will not be compatible.
[General Questions and Answers] drlinden:
Thanks, thats a great start.

Ok, there is always another question when there is an answer with this isn't there. Thanks, I will investigate the GSM question.

thanks for the quick reply.
[General Questions and Answers] StupidCid:
Boost mobile is a mostly iden network

if your area has boost mobile cdma available and you have bought and activated a cdma boost mobile phone then it is very possible. sadly i"ve heard boost is trying to phase out cdma and i can not find a plan for a boost mobile cdma phone in my area.:mad:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidcorpo:
Hello all,

I am looking for a simple application that will allow my Xperia to display the time with a simple button press while on standby.

Currently, when I press the power button to bring the Xperia out of standby, the screen will load with the keypad lock, where I would then enter my PIN to unlock the phone and go to my Today screen. Only problem is that the keypad lock screen doesn't display the time in the top right corner! Therefore, as my Xperia is my watch, I must unlock my Xperia everytime just to open the Today screen to see the clock :cool:

Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

I think S2U2 offers this, it comes with it's own locking system. I don't like it though, but many people do.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apolas:
This should help:

Settings\System\Clock & Alarms\"More" tab --- there you can select to Display the clock on the title bar in all programs -- so you can see the time even if your phone is in locked state.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Aftershock9958:
I opened my account with T-mobile three days ago with a talk plan and the unlimited data/messaging plan. I wasn't able to connect to their internet so I called them, and they basically said "look, it hasn't been 48 hours so we can't help you".

I had the CR86 rom on my phone (which I loved, btw) and had it all set up nice and whatnot. So I called back yesterday and after 45 minutes of checking settings and talking to three different tech reps, the last one said that I would have to flash the phone with the official T-mo rom (T-Mobile MDA Software Version (2.26.10.2)) and that would allow me to connect.

So I did. Prior to this, with the CR86 I was getting the Edge icon on my screen. I just flashed the phone with the T-mo rom, and now I don't even get the E. When I try to connect it gives me the message 'The answering modem has disconnected.'

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] rfmuller:
Folks:

I switched my HTC S621 for a Jack i637 a couple weeks ago. I like very much the Jack but I'm having problems with it:

1. - When I connect the Jack to use it as a USB mass storage device, only the main memory is accessible. I'm not able to read the SD card, not even from the phone's File Explorer. I also connected it to my car stereo USB port to play the music on the SD card, and it only reads the internal memory.

If the USB is set to Activesync, then I can access the SD with no problem. I have a 4GB SD card.

2.- Very often, while I'm synchronizing the phone with the PC, the Activesync screen says that it is disconnected and 20 to 30 seconds later IExplorer freezes on the computer. I stream to my PC a live audio feed from a radio station (http://www.imagen.com.mx/audioenvivo/) that stops playing, but as soon as I remove the data cable for the phone the audio returns to the PC.

I am looking to grab this phone but my last HTC unit (Touch Cruise) is really slow on moving stuff- im nearly positive its running at USB 1.1 speeds.

Is the Touch Pro 2 any better? How long does it take to transfer an album of music or a video?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] osarus:
You'd be crazy to spend $$ on this phone and not buy a SD card, and trasfers to them are very decent.

Transfering to it in "Disk drive" mode onto a micro SD card u get 4MB/sec (which is max speed for my class 4 card)

Reading from it is about 6-7MB/sec so it might be able to write at that speed with an decent class 6 card

Transfering to its internal ROM is about ~1-2MB/sec in "activesync" mode

Get the phone u wont regret it :)

ps. anyone out there have sandisk ultra micro m2 card to test? that have read speed of 13mb/sec, would be good to see what the decivice is capable of ;- )

[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] WebghostDK:
This is my first "guide" so bare over with me :P

In order to change your status bar color along with the Background color, do this:

First we need the framework-res.apk from the phone

- adb remount

- adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk

Take a backup of this file in case you failed and wants to go back.

Rename your local framework-res.apk to: framework-res.apk.zip

Open the Zip file and go here:

/res/drawable/

Locate these files and unzip them:

statusbar_background.png

status_bar_background.png

status_bar_close_on.9.png

status_bar_header_background.9.png

status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png

These are the files you want.

I sugest that you use Photoshop to do what you want with the colors, if you are using Photoshop, be carefull editing status_bar_close_on.0.png, it might look weird if you are doing it wrong.

After your done editing these pictures go here:

/res/drawable_land/

Locate and unzip:

statusbar_background.png

Do the same here as you done with the first pictures.

After you are done editing the png's, save them in your zip file.

Rename framework-res.apk.zip to framework-res.apk.

- adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Now restart your phone, and your Notification bar has been fixed :-)

I'm using Open Home along with HTC Hero skin and this just looks PERFECT! :)

This doesn't change the Text's on your Notification Screen, that you will have to find out for yourself, or post a solution here.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] MontAlbert:
Yeah i have tried to push a heap of different G1 services.jar files over to my Magic (ion rom) but was in boot loop city for every one. Oshaka has said he will modify a sapphire services.jar for me... still waiting on that- will post my results as soon as he has it for me.....

TBH though, having a status bar background black with green behind the black clock is actually probably easier for me to read than the white one......will test it out when i get the correct services.jar
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] MontAlbert:
got green notifications but for some reason the services.jar doesn't change....

working on it... maybe oshaka can come up with a reason for me...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] WebghostDK:
I cant seem to get the services.jar to change either. I have asked Oshaka to fix it for me, and he said he would do it like 3-4 days ago.

Waiting :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] MontAlbert:
services.jar will work on hofo rom or any rom without .odex files. The problem with hero and ion roms are that they dont have the classes.dex files within services.jar. I am assuming they are in the services.odex file, which so far i have been unable to open and read to find the correct smali files.

I have called it quits trying to figure it out for now...... until the colorchanger app includes support for this i am putting it in the too hard basket.

Let us know if ohsaka gets back to you. If we get this we can theme anything we want- i made a theme template for ion which worked......

***edit*** just got a reply from Ohsaka, he said there is no way he knows of to open .odex files to edit colour inside of them. that kind of means those of us running ION or hero are **** out of luck. Until someone starts modding the HTC build a bit more (kind of like how cyanogen mods the standard 1.5 and also pulls from donut etc) then we are stuck with what we have got :(

Hofo rom has some potential.... maybe we should all chip in and buy cyanogen a Magic (32A of course :D )?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] jamsk8er1994:
I just wanted to let people know, i ran into a problem with force closing constantly.

Solution i came up with is if you have the custom OC kernel, you must edit the

pictures and stuff for your UI and then flash the kernel. If the kernel is already in place

it will conflict with the 'adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk'

And a data value will change, causing force closes.

I also get force close (of the market app) after modifying images in a custom ROM, on a T-Mobile Pulse. jamsk8er1994, could you explain in more detail what you mean by "edit pictures and flash your kernel"?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Jimmarn:
The same goes for those of you who want to change the smileys that you see on your phone. If you're tired of those robots you go into

- framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi-v4

and find the files called "emo_im_"

There is 17 files, png's. open photoshop and make the smileys you'd like in a 20x20 canvas (pixels). save for web and devices -png 24, with the same name. In example: (The grinning smiley :-D) is emo_im_laughing.png

Then you drag the new png you've made into the apk file and choose replace existing.

Note: this is only for your viewing, others will not see the smileys you have on your phone unless they got the same on theirs. If they have the droid ones that is what they see when you send. But if they send you a droid smiley you see the custom one you've put in yourself.
