[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] terrypin:
Am I imagining it or is my new TP2 broken already? When I turn it to horizontal mode, shouldn't it switch the screen view too? That does happen when I slide open the keyboard.

I have Auto Screen Rotation set to ON. I've soft-reset, powered down and on again. Switched off Auto Screen Rotation and then back on again after after restart. But the 'home ' screen (and all others) resolutely stay vertical no matter how I tilt the TP2.

The only thing I haven't tried is the scary 'Clear All Storage'. Is that what I know as a Hard Reset? And presumably means re-installing and tweaking from scratch - a horrible prospect.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] IvoBonev:
Your phone is not broken. It's just that programs are not automatically working with g-sensor rotation. You have to add the once you want to work to the registry or use a program to do that. Here are 2 threads describing these methods:

or use a program like gyrator ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] terrypin:
Thanks both, that's reassuring. (And squares with a post I found meanwhile about the HTC Diamond which says the only apps that have auto-rotate are Opera and Albums. Presumably the same for the TP2?)

I'll investigate those suggested solutions, thank you.

I also phoned my son a while ago as I thought his new iPhone 3GS auto-rotated its main screen, but I was mistaken about that too. He pointed out that many users wouldn't want such a feature, as a constantly changing display would be distracting, a point I hadn't considered.

BTW, was I right that 'Clear storage' is equivalent to a hard reset? If so, hope there's a warning screen first, in case that ever gets accidentally tapped!

Hi you all...

Im having troubles with the wireless connection on my HTC Magic phone

When im choosing an application and want to start the download @ the market... it just hangs with the message "Starting download" and then nothing happens... I have never seen it start downloading...

If im using the browser, then the wifi connection works fine, it's only when the downloading apps at the marketplace, it dosen't work

When i toggle the WifI off, and switch to GSM/3g connection, then the download works fine.

What to do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sychee:

You just need to restart your router --- that will renew your IP address.

Can I use chargers from other devices that also use mini USB such as my garmin GPS or will they damage my X1?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE GRIZZ:
ive never actually used the charger that came with it(it came with the ugly European plug). if you are going to use a standard USB charger,dont go with one that has higher amps than the official one (i think its 700 miliamps if im not mistaken ) just to be sure

that said. i used the charger for the following devices to charge my x1 (some charge faster than others): Atom EXEC, samsung digital camera, htc wizard, motorolla dumbphone, usb pc cable, xbox360, g1
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokdub:
I charge mine via mini USB cable from PC, mains adaptors (2 different ones), 12V cig lighter adaptor.

BTW PC seems to be the slowest at charging.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Thanks....

Back to OP:

Yes, but it is not advisable. Check if the other charger has the same specs first.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt1408:
USB is a standard isn't it? I don't think your at risk frying your XPERIA. If it managed 220 in Europe it will manage 110 here. As for me, I've charged my phone with everything, a USB cable connected to my computer, a car ciggarette charger that came with my Tomtom, and my friends iPhone charer. All worked flawlessly.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
yes usb is std

it give 5volts dc

and charger which provide

5volts in the correct usb connector

can charge the device

nothing else matter

amps don't matter as long as it's more then 0.5
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnchan78:
From my understanding, if the charger allows 1A, then that is the MAXIMUM it will provide, it won't be trying to supply that all the time.

So if the X1 wants, say, 0.6A, then a 1A charger will work. On the other hand, you wont want to use a 0.5A charger if it is trying to draw 0.6A or whatever higher.

This is just how you can have a massive 900W power supply. You can draw 200W, 300W, etc. but you can't have a 300W power supply and try and draw 500W (unless you like smoke, fire, explosions, etc.)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_TLS:
John is correct. The USB standard 5V is the important bit. Doesn't matter if the device can supply 0.5A or 5A. Most PC USB ports are good for 500mA, the OEM charger is good for 750mA.

A few of my friends have Motorals RazR's that charge via a mini USB, I don't have to worry about packing a charger when staying overnight. :)

I already had a collection of USB style chargers and mini USB cables before I got the X1. Use my laptop or a Belkin charger (1A) I got for the iPod in the lounge room, a generic USB phone charger in the car (500mA), the OEM SE charger in my bedroom etc, etc.

At 1st I thought oh no, my 3rd SE phone, my 3rd type of memory card and 3rd tye of charger - but I was a winner with the mini USB :)

I've purchased the unlock code from T-mobile and I want to unlock my device. But I have 3rd party security software on the phone so when I insert my Vodafone SIM an switch it on the screens flicks between the security software and the unlock code text box.

Is there any way to unlock the device with the T-mobile SIM still in the phone?

Is there a sequence I can follow like this for my S620?

[Touch CDMA Accessories] okaygo:
I daresay, I do agree with denasqu. At first I was obsessed with wi-fi, but after upgrading the internet to unlimited, I didn't have to worry about data caps. Now a wi-fi chip means compromising 16 gb for myself
[Touch CDMA Accessories] hexto:
Nice. The Spectec one is 7mm too long so it sticks out of the Vogue. This one is only 1mm longer which hopefully allows it to fit inside the phone. I was all about getting one up until a month ago when Verizon added service by my house and now I get full bars but its still something I'd invest in if it fit my phone closed.:)
[Touch CDMA Accessories] jamezelle:
the article says the antenna takes up about a third of the card, wonder if it will still have storage or just be wifi reciever.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] zahne:
How much would it cost? It must be pretty $$$. I haven't seen a price anywhere on google. I'd be interested though as I don't yet have the cash for a $30 a month data plan.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] jadesse:
I would say buy a new with phone WIFI but the Vogue is the only WM phone that you can have with Verizon without a data plan. BLOODSUCKERS
[Touch CDMA Accessories] mrkite38:
That's exactly why I went with a Vogue. Well, that and when I came up for renewal last year the Vogue was free. But I wouldn't have done it if they'd forced a data plan like they do with the other models.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] imdarkside:
bloodsuckers

Seems like they are running out of blood. Acc. to a vzw rep they are planning to roll out some new phones w/o data requirement or a lock on gps.... yeah right. I would bail to sprint but that seems like a sinking ship now.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] DanRo80:
You can use the HTC Titan (Verizon xv6800) and Samsung i760. Both have WIFI and Verizon doesn't require data plan on these. The only WM phones with WIFI that Verizon doesn't require data.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] superninjapirate:
they don't require a data plan, but little things like aim really kill you. my first month i had a $180 data bill and got the $30/month data plan.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] jadesse:
The Vogue is the only WM phone that does not require you to have a data plan. All the others do.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] piperthedj:
potentially it would be great to have wifi. however most of us have unlimited plans (its a requirement for me) i guess it all boils down to what you want. i hear wifi has less battery drain than actual data transfer.

do you want wifi or storage? the article does sound like there could be room for memory in addition to wifi, but i don't know enough about the microSD slot to know it it can support 2 devices at once. anyone know?

Hey guys..

I have this weird problem.

I have flashed Duttys 3.9 and whenever someone calls me I pick up and say hello, but the other side does not hear for 1 or 2 seconds...and then people complain: WTF? You have the best phone ever and still it is a shyt..and stuff like that...and that is really annoying! (jelaous people :D)

Is there any fix for this or is it just a regular issue?

Anyway, I plan to flash dutys 4 Turbo during the weekend...so I will see whether the problem remains or not...

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] str0nz0:
I read this a while ago on another forum. Mayber someone wants to try and report if it works:

You can remove the delay by editing this registrykey :

change the value from 3000 to 0, the delay is than gone.

Reboot,Done.

Hi Everybody,

I have a big problem with my Niki (Htc Dual). Since last days, I have no GSM Reception.

So 1st question : this problem is it known, and if yes, how resolve it.

2nd Question : I actually tried to flasg de radio rom to resolve this problem, but the flash procedure does not work. In details

1. I launch sspl1.16 (ok)

2. The word "USB" appears (ok)

3. I unplug and replug USB (Nok), my phone is not recognize by my PC on Vista and the SSPL still rest on the 3 colours with "USB" word.

I tried to force launching of RUU with 1.56 Radio Roms, but the flash stop at 0% with an communication error.

Someone could help me on these problem please,

Thank You,

For information, I have never flash this phone in the past, all is "original" with the Orange Rom.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] MvSt:
Try to do these steps with a XP PC not with a VISTA PC.

Then it should work.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Wezternator:
You can use Vista no problem. - I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 and never had a problem.

But do you have HardSPL installed? I would think you'll need it to install radios.

After you enter the boot loader screen windows wont recognise the phone. after you unplug and plug it back in you can flash HardSPL (these are the steps to installing it)

after that you can just plug your phone into PC and run the radio RUU and follow the steps (don't have to put the phone into tri-bootloader the software will do that)

Hi,

I'm using WiFi at home, hosted by a Linksys WRT54GL router running OpenWrt and secured with WPA2/WPA-PSK. Once in a while, the WiFi connection to my Rhodium gets disconnect (phone issue, wifi on my notebook is stable). After this disconnect, I go to the notification list, and theres a notification telling my that theres a new network found, but to connect to the network, I need to enter the WPA password everytime. Only way avoiding to reenter the password is rebooting the device; then it automaticly connects to my network again.

Anyone having similar problems or even know a fix?

Thanks in advance,

Christoph

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] skyriptide:
Wifi Issues with Smartphones / PDA WEP and WPA

I've been a windows mobile / smartphone user for about 4 years now. I started off with a xw6700 from verizon, then a Tilt from ATT, and now testing a Touch Pro 2 from t-mobile not sure if I'm keeping it. With each device I've had the same issues. I will explain below what I've found and what I've done to make it as painless as possible with WIFI and my PDA devices.

I currently run 2 WIFI networks due to this issue. I use roadrunner so I was able to about 10 years ago get a multiple IP package, which they no longer offer. I have 4 IP addresses 3 of which I use for my computers/1 wifi network and another I use for a wifi network just for PDAs/phones.

If i use a PDA with WIFI enabled on the network my computers are on using WEP after a few times of connecting/disconnecting PDAs and trying to reconnect I get a problem where the device wont take my WEP key over and over again. I have to reboot the WIFI router, and then the device will connect successfully. This is very annoying since any device I try to add to the wireless will not connect as well. This problem is due to the PDA, now I've tried mulitple routers DLINK, NETGEAR, LINKSYS, AIRLINK, they all do the same.

Now with my 2nd network I use WPA. WPA seems to be more friendly when it comes to disconnecting and reconnecting PDAs. I can use my PDA's on this network connecting and reconnecting for a few weeks before the WIFI router requires a reboot because it will no longer take the WPA password. Again I am not sure why this happens, and I am not sure why it affects WM5, WM6, WM6.1. Not sure if its the hardware of the device or the software, but it seems to happen no matter what WM device I have.

My iphone will disconnect and reconnect to either of my networks without any problem. Unless the PDA screws up the wifi on either network, then the iphone will never authenticate and connect to the network. Seems these WM devices no matter what hardware are really good at screwing up WIFI networks.

Now my findings are every time you put the phone to sleep/off the wifi turns off, it could possibly be the cause for the above, this pisses me off. There was one forum a while back I found someone saying WPA is more stable. I know the iphone does the same (turns off wifi when in standby/sleep), but doesn't affect the router the same as WM devices. If anyone would like to say otherwise then they are wrong/lying to you. I guarantee if they turn off and on their WM device to say check an IM or a TXT and turn it back on a few times they will experience the same problems above, which it seems everyone experiences but no one has answers.

I wish there would be a professional from HTC or HP or anyother PDA maker who will just come out and say they screwed up and didn't want to fix it.
