I've used a Holux M1000 for the past ~2 years with my 6800. Works great, excellent battery life and reception, uses a mini USB to charge. It is about $40.

It is now sitting in the box with my 6800. I haven't used it since I activated my TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] RogerStenning:
Any chance this thread can be stickified? It might save repeats in the long run :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gliscameria:
Real question, not snarky

I'm confused.

Why/where would you need an extra antenna? I get 8 sats on my porch within a minute. If you are somewhere goofy wouldn't your signal get confused from going/reflecting through all kinds of materials?

This is a real question, I'd like to know. My TyTN was slow to get signals and painfully slow to lock sometimes, I can understand it there, but the rhodium seems to be in a different class all together.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] RogerStenning:
Yeah, the TP2 is a damn good phone; with an up-to-date Quick GPS file, it'll lock on in double quick time. However, when I'm in the car, especially when in very built-up city areas, the reception of GPS signals goes right down the toilet at times, leading to signal loss and a marked lack of satnav capability; Short an external antenna connector, a GPS signal booster would prevent that most of the time, and it's on my family's wish list at the moment ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] GordonTGopher:
Personally I have no problems, but some window tints and heated front screens can reduce signal significantly, leading to problems in areas that have weak signal like urban canyons or under tree canopies.

I currently have the HTC Tilt with AT&T running WM6.1. I unloaded AT&T's bloatware and after doing so the windows update can't connect. I keep getting an error saying to recheck my connection and device date and time, error 80072ee7. Everything else works fine, internet, mms, txt. Any ideas ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Why bother? If everything else works fine, just leave it alone. I don't recall stories of anybody on ANY WM device ever getting an update. Microsoft just built the functionality in so if there was a vulnerability which affected a

very

large number of devices, and it was being exploited on a wide scale for malicious purposes, they would be able to put a stop to it. Most of the cooked ROMs I've used don't even include Windows Update in their settings panel.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ryche316:
OK thanks. The ROM I'm using is straight from the HTC web site, I just didn't allow the bloatware to install and hog up all of my memory
[General Topics] pollice3:
1 - htc diamond 2

2 - htc touch pro 2

3 - htc hero

4 - htc firestone

& why ?
[General Topics] ZenithUK:
Out of those options, I'd buy a TP2.

I would however *consider* the HTC Hero as it seems like an interesting handset.
[General Topics] galaxys:
tp2 because it's the latest & greatest.

btw, your 1st post...welcome to the great xda forum.

so, wich one do u like & why?
[General Topics] orb3000:
TP2!!

Because is a buisness oriented device, it has nice keyboard and I like the design.
[General Topics] pollice3:
I don't know yet - that's the reason for the Poll

I'm looking to buy a do it all phone that can be customized and playied with and thinking of waiting for the firestone but how long and how much ?

so maybe just buy something now and keep it for 2/3 years

wanted to get your expert opinion first

thanks.bye
[General Topics] pollice3:
nobody seems too excited about the firestone - 0 vote

it's that becouse not enouth innovation or becouse it's too early and the release date & price is still a unknown ?
[General Topics] tehhoe:
TD2 4 TEH WIN!!!

Reason= I have one :)
[General Topics] lamborg:
Diamond 2 or Hero, they look just great and have great specs... :)
[General Topics] pollice3:
yes TD2 looks really good and would probably be my choice right now but I was wondering if the TP2 was worth the extra money, about €200 (and save them to buy the device that will come AFTER the firestone) from the price that I see or to wait for the firestone if the price is similar to TP2

ofcourse the hero looks very promising and being open could develop/improve faster than waiting for WM7

is the firestone that much better and worth waiting for it or a ROM upgrade could make the TD2 close the gap to the TP2/Firestone

tehhoe about the TD2 do youu have any problem with the dust getting inside the cover?
[General Topics] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
I would probably buy Toshiba TG01 , But Since Im not in a Hurry Ill wait for HTC Superstar!!!!

BUT I DONT HAVE THE $$$$$$ FOR NONE!!! :D :D
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
Touch Pro2,

The keyboard has everything you need, especially the rare ctrl key.
[General Topics] die_Leuchte:
Got a TG01 two weeks ago. Quite beta OS but a beautiful device!
[General Topics] Aisorik:
TD2 or Hero, although the former is more realistic due to US carrier subsidization. I so want a TP2, but I just can't justify the extra hundred or so for the same lackluster internals. Plus I have smaller hands, and the TD2/Hero would probably be easier to navigate single-handed.
[General Topics] pollice3:
thanks

thanks to all who voted or give their opinion but my new toy will have to wait as I had to help a friend in need

well maybe the successor of the firestone will be something worth waiting for :)
[General Topics] jigners:
Hero for me!

for me its a tie between tp2 and hero. but hero it is! all the while i thought the hero and the firestone are one and the same gadget. lol!
[General Topics] sallal:
Of course TP2 ! Great abilitys , 5-row keyboard ...

The best and newest ! (well the toshiba tg01 is even not bad)
[General Topics] pollice3:
not too much enthusiasm for the firestone I see, shouldn't it be better than the TP2 ? better camera and new UI ok no keyboard but with a bigger screen should be ok the soft keyboard too or I'm missing something?

i installed voice command on my wm 6.5 device...works fine. however, i cant find the settings shortcut! it is nowhere in the settings menus!

anyone knows how to enter the settings manually? mabye by registry editor? i want voice command to anounce calls, sms and emails...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vragor:
The file VoiceCommand....cpl is in the \windows directory. Browse there and run that file to change settings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wg5566:
The fact that an user interface is missing indicates that the cab you installed is not well processed, better switch to another build of MSVC. Suggest MSVC 1.6.20771 or 1.6.21725. check here:

SmartLauncher => Beta v.0.9

I've always found it a little hassle to go into Comm manager, turn on WiFi and then go out and launch Opera when wanting to surf with my TD2. And then turning of WiFi when done.

So I decided to code my own application that does this in one click. Ideal for setting it as the default app for the Long Press on End button. ;)

What does it do:

- Activates WiFi & connects to preferred access point

- Shows connection strength, IP, SSID name, speed, statistics and authentication mode

- Able to launch Opera browser with the same button that enables WiFi

- Turn off WiFi when done

- One-Click Launch

Limitations in this version

- The Disconnect Data button is not implemented yet, also coming in next versions (hopefully)

To Do

- Implement Disconnect Data

Enjoy :)

UPDATE v.1.0

- Added One Click setting. When enabled it activates and launches Opera without need for user interaction.

- More fingerfriendly (thanks for the images RDT)

- Optimized code / cleanup

Issues / Not tested:

- I'm not sure the one click setting closing Opera on exit works on all devices.

- Still not generic, you must have OperaL.exe in your windows folder unless its already there (stock ROM)

- Data disabled still not implemented, hoping it will work soon with the help of Paul from Modaco.

UPDATE v.1.1

- Added Usage Statistics

- Added Network Speed

UPDATE v.1.1.3

UI Updated

UPDATE V2

- New UI Icon controled, much more fingerfriendly

- 70% of code rewritten

- Better performance

- VGA version up

UPDATE 11/08

- Generic version, works with all devices now

- If Opera is not installed it will automatically launch Internet Explorer

- Code cleanup

Suggestions for Future Releases

- One step launcher => Activate WiFi and Launch Opera (no need for button clicks)

- Option to quit Opera on Exit as well
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] TinTin:
Sounds good - gonna try it tomorrow. One suggestion: Offer a one-step .exe, so one more click would be saved. I for one don't need all the information at all times that the Launcher provides. Maybe have both a launcher with a "Go" button and and a one-step launcher, where we don't have to click Go first.

.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] elmalote:
Sounds like a good idea. Will look at it when I get back ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] TinTin:
Cool. I did install it already and works as advertised - nice work!

One more suggestion - I'd like an option to quit Opera on Exit as well. Only makes sense for those (like me) of course that tweaked their TD2 to not have Opera in memory all the time anymore, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532948

Thanks,

Tin
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] elmalote:
Great! :D

Suggestion added ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] TinTin:
One needs the Exit Function of course, so it doesn't make sense to have 2 apps (as I suggested in my first request). So I'm rephrasing my request to be able to set SmartLauncher to launch Wifi and Opera upon start automatically, switching to Opera and keeping the Launcher in the Background (available via Taskmanager).

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] TinTin:
Tried the latest version and got an exception - probably due to some missing registry keys. I uninstalled and deleted all keys, then installed again and got rid of the problem.

Unfortunately Opera checks for the Wifi Connection when it's not there yet and hence starts the mobile connection on my device. It may need a little more of a delay for Wifi to successfully connect, before you open Opera.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] laureus:
great idea. i like it.

would be perfect if you could choose between connections to be established not only wifi.

eg. activate 3G - starting opera - ending opera - deactivate 3G
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] elmalote:
Good suggestion, maybe I will implement that ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Indiant:
why just for opera? why not any program?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] elmalote:
I have been thinking of implementing the function so one can launch whichever program one wants..

I will try to implement that later on :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] TinTin:
why don't you look up in registry, which is the default browser and use that? Don't have the key handy, but google should help :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] TinTin:
another suggestion: don't use version names in the .lnk and let new versions overwrite the old ones, so one doesn't have to go through the uninstall process.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Indiant:
great solution anyway!

I'm making it generic, but currently there is a issue launching Opera from all other locations than Windows :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] TinTin:
Why don't you calll iexplore.exe if opera's not there.. at least something for the time being. Most everyone will have that.

Maybe you get luckier using p/invoked createprocess instead of Process.Start (shellexecute), see examples in VB.net and C# here:

[About XDA developers] mrsirpantsalot:
Dear admin and Mods,

I have been a member of this site for almost a year now, and while I do have little posts, I'm very active on the site. The reason for this thread is, the lack of a higher authority in the Dream sub-forum. The "Development Section" is subject to hundreds of non-relevant "help-me" posts by freshly created user accounts. I love xda and I hate to see useful information obstructed by all of the "help-me" posts. I would love xda to enforce a two day wait after membership has been created to be able to post. I've used IPB before and know this was an option; I'm not sure if vb does this, although there has to be a mod.

This is just a suggestion. Mods or Waiting Period... I'm sure both if not one of these would help correct the problem. I would love to see the boards expand more, and by correcting this. I feel the flow of information would be smoother and developers would enjoy using the site more.

Just my .002$

Thank you for your time!

Here's a wierd one,

No problem with flashing several roms but now the phone will not turn on.

Sometimes I can get it to turn on by connecting to mains charger and then let it 'charge'. Mind, there are no lights at all indicating the charge is working. Then, if I remove the charge cable then remove the battery only for a little time and replace it the phone may turn on.

bugger !

Yes folks thanks, I have three (yes sad) batteries, the original which used to last barely a day, then the official HTC extended and also a Mugen 3000mAh monster. There is definatively a problem with power getting through when the phone is off. Even when I manage to get it on, if I soft reset is stays in the off state. Also, when plugged in there are no charging lights at all. It does charge when on, the lights work and of course the software indicates it is charging. Problem now though, it's been off for two days and I just can't get it back on. I want to try a stock rom to see if this helps. It's my own fault, I know the risks with cust roms but this seems to be more hardware you know. Thanks again.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lenihan:
Any idea why when you scroll to the music tab, albums are not listed in the order in which they were synced? I have the album artwork ok, and all of the tracks are listed - but not in the correct order. If I switch to WMP on my TP2 everything is as it should be - its only in the TF3d that things go a bit weird.

Also, is it possible to customise the weather to a city/town that isn't listed?

Cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lenihan:
Followed this up today with HTC and get this - the TF3D interface has been designed to randomly sort the tracks and this they claim is a 'selling point'. The only way to have tracks in the order in which they should appear is to create a playlist for all of them. Unbelievable, totally unbelievable.

What muppet designed it this way?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vdKarel:
So if you have tracks

1 aaa

2 bbb

3 ccc

they can get ordered like this:

3 ccc

1 aaa

2 bbb

?? And there is no way to sort on alphabetical order?

I never use the mp3 player, have my IPod for music and TP2 for radio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TomLoth:
I always go to the Albums sub-tab in the Music tab.

Every album is listed correctly.

Are you sure your tags are ok?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vdKarel:
That may also be a problem. You may have to correctly set your ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags of your MP3's.

Perhaps you could edit them using magic mp3tagger. www.magic-tagger.com. Is fairly cheap and works splendid. I've bought it for my iTunes (had over 25 GB to edit ... took too long for manual editing).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TomLoth:
Mp3Tag is free and AWESOME! ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] phigafr:
GET SONGBIRD!! it's free!!! based on mozilla engine with plenty of extensions: foldersync extension with will sync with any disk: ie your microsd

It will edit MP3 tags by batch

AND ALL FREE

http://getsongbird.com/

You guys are formatted by micro$oft and find normal to pay an application to edit a mp3 tag!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vdKarel:
Hmz, haven't heard of that program before. Does it also retrieve the id tags from an online database? With magic tagger you can insert let's say 300 mp3s from different artists, albums, etc all without ID tags or with very wrong ones and it looks up the correct ID tags from an internal and online database. Making manual (batch)tagging obsolete. Just import, synchronize, tag!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Warren17:
Both Song Bird and MP3tag and nigh on every other mp3 tagging application will need some form of reference point.

An example being, put a CD in to be ripped. the combination of number of tracks, track length and total time will make that CD nigh on Unique, so the application can reference it back.

If I present a set of random tracks with no details, what tells the system that track a (2.04) is actually Song A or song B?

even with the auto-tagging features, you may want to manually adjust your tags. For instance, I like my tracks to have a leading 0 if needed (01, 02 etc) Most databases have it as 1,2,3. So I need to change that. Also, I prefer to have songs with guest artists to have the guest artist in the Artist information field.

ANYWAY.... my TP2 TF3D MP3 player puts all the album information how i want it. (80GB of Mp3's means I have to be a little anal with my tags)
