Question nr.2

For the 2 question when i take out memory card and put it back nothing changed,all apps on storage card work ok. I have 2gb card with garmin navigation,and other items.

For 1 question cant answer because i dont have outlook.

My os is windows 7 for the time.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Well thank you very much for reply!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
1 - I don't use contact syncing.

2 - Yes.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Ok, thank you too.

Hopefully somebody DOES sync.

I actually came to the idea I remove all of the contacts, notes etc. from PC and run Sync. Hope to see all the data copied to my PC!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
I SYNC! :D

I think it will merge the two sets of people it will add to both - but if there are any overlaps it will either ask you or there is a setting which is under Mobile Device Center which says "Overwrite contacts from X1 or PC" or something like that - although i have had someproblems with outlook where when syncing it would randomly delete both from my phone and x1 but luckily outlook has a recycle bin like feature.

Hope this anwers your question
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Okay looks like my answer!

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ineedtoys:
Done this lots of times and yes, Activesync on the PC will prompt you whether you want to merge or overwrite the data - which then applies for all your Outlook data inc. contacts, calendar, tasks and notes. If you choose to merge, AS should work out which is the most recent record when encountering exact duplicates and ditch the oldest one.

But from experience if your data is important to you I STRONGLY recommend that you do a backup of your PC Outlook data first (e.g. by exporting all to a new PST file), and also on the handheld with the excellent and free PIM Backup application, before you connect the two together. Otherwise you may end up with lots of duplications (or worse, unseen deletions), which can be an absolute nightmare to sort out.

PIM backup is also useful for keeping your essential data safe on your SD card should you need to hard reset the phone while you're away from your PC.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
Just to add to that - you could also use Microsofts MyPhone service - at least that is what i have been using to store data online so there is even less chance of it being lost
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Guys I really appreciate your help.

I already have PPCPimBackup,

I just wanted to be sure I understand the sync.

Right now I want to delete all contacts on my Outlook,

and sync this with X1 so all data from X1 will be copied there.

The reason is that I previously sync'd my other smartphone,

P1 on Symbian/UIQ with Outlook (to have all my contacts on X1)

but it made loose all "+" in all contacts lol.

So I manually put all "+" on X1 contacts and now want to just put it on Outlook too without a hassle....
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_TLS:
Don't restore the PPCPimBackup contacts unless you have to. i.e lost contacts on X1 & Outlook.

I did a hard restart and it sync'd the contacts from Outlook like it should via ActiveSync. Then I restored a PPCPimBackup backup and ended up with two of every contact on the X1 and in Outlook. :/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] amitsivak:
I recently erased and reinstalled the rom (it just wasn't running as clean as I wanted to)which is the basic rom that came from ATT. Anyways. i'm having troubles as:

1) I get no response sometimes with the touch screen. Whether I touch hard or soft.After 3 seconds or so of constant tapping it comes to life but happens too frequently. I get so pissed I want to slam it the floor.

2)Another problem i'm having is I can't install many programs. I'm getting tons of errors. I can't install Kaiser tweak or advanced config. I can't install games.

3) when I'm in a wifi area (coffeeshop/restaurant) I go to activate the wifi card (wireless manager) and it gives me the 4 colored icon moving showing it's working for 4-5 seconds and it's still off. I can't activate the damn wifi card..

4)videos I converted with spb mobile dvd appear to play slow and have speech delays/synching, which they never did.

5) A wierd thing happened when I used "file explorer ex" to go to the storage card directory, all of a sudden I had tons of wierd files all having 3 characters only with numbers/letters with a windows icon and I couldn't erase it because it said it was a system file. something like 10-15 of them. I restarted the system and it went back to being normal.

DAMN TYTNII/TILT/8925! i'm fed up with slowness and problems with the phone. I'm considering the Touch pro2 but from what I see it has the same crap processor and so I'm wondering if they didn't include the video driver for that one (or any other model HTC has, and so I'm consider something besides HTC, maybe the xperia) as well. I want to be able to play full movies, skyfire, and a good keyboard not like the tilt. I want the UI to be very fast and smooth not like the tilt.And when I press the red button to hang up a call, I don't want to wait 2-3 seconds either. BTW, when is WM7 coming out cause this 6.1 aint doing it for me.

I AM NOT HAPPY.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CerebusTA:
That sounds bad.... When you say you reinstalled the ROM do you mean that you reflashed it or that you did a hard reset?

Have you tried a hard reset? (again)

Settings-> system -> clear storage

You could also try the official WM6.1 ROM that can be found on the HTC web site.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
if the purpose of the thread was to rant/vent, i'll leave it at that

but if you want help to see if you can improve on some or all of your complaints, we will need more information, particularly:

A. was it fine before? when did each of the problems start? please go back to your original post and describe which problems existed from the beginning and which ones popped up later

B. describe your configuration. which version of windows mobile are you using? 6.0? 6.1? 6.5? is it an official ROM or a "cooked" one? whats your SPL version? which radio ROM are you using?

C. which software are you using for video playback? granted, the kaiser lacks proper video drivers (as do most of HTC's newer models), it can still be tweaked quite nicely to give very acceptable video playback...i play divx/xvid videos at FULL framerate with no lag on my set up, after appropriate tweaks of course

D. maybe the wifi networks you are trying to connect to are SECURE and/or MAC filtered...have you tried connecting to a network that you are certain is open-for-all?

E. have you tried a hard reset as suggested in the first response in this thread?

F. most of the problems you are mentioning sound like SOFTWARE and/or OS issues...hardware is quite a distant possibility to blame so considering moving to a new device based on your reported observations is uninformed. windows phones are windows phones and they are designed to be flexible and masters-of-everything and therefore require the user to be well informed and aware of what he/she is doing. if you can't keep up and don't desire and/or can't harness the uber-power that the kaiser delivers, move on to the iFart and be done with it

my advice is to provide answers to the above and/or perform a hard reset and/or change your ROM. OR, you COULD just have a lemon on your hands in which case a change of hardware is your only option. but you will only know for sure it is a lemon if you go through the motions mentioned here...

good luck!

I was looking at PointUI - seems interesting but i was wondering if it has multiple home screens (like Android or MS3) or is it dependant on each theme as i like the Amana theme but i would prefer having multiple screens to use so that i dont have to have alot on the page
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mccune:
PointUI uses multiple screens as well. Just check out their website. If you hit Community you'll get plenty of information about skins and skinning :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dgattenb:
Pointui

I have used it .. prefered the old one as this one has small buttons not as thumb friendly.. and not as easy to use as TF3D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] francois_htcaddict:
Yeah, the UI is good, but TF3D 2 is better, I mean the integration of the TouchFLo over Windows Mobile is greater than PointUI.

And the integration of TF3D 2 will be higher with the new and shiny TF3D 2.5 :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cardefbel:
:D I'm a proud owner of the pointui pro. With the scipting of pointui (C-like scripts) you can do amazing things with it.

Sweep your finger over the wm tabs (like you do for manilla) and WM will react on it by changing the tab.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MrHarm:
That's worked with every 6.5 build for months...

Lol the 219 blah blah ones look completely different. the tabs have a little part up the top that have arrows for left and right. The 23*** ones do not have this, they still maintain the old school **** tabs, they have implemented the swipe thing but still sucks. This new 219**method looks MUCH better!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrplr71:
I just created the required partitions for the hero ROM. How do you install a ROM on the card using windows. Windows does not recognize my card after creating ext/2 and linux swap It is my understanding that windows won't see card after format. Has anyone done this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Windows should see the Fat32 just fine as long as it is in the order of (1) Fat32 (2) Ext2 (3) linux-swap
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrplr71:
My other buddy said he could not get windows to see his card
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
I'm guessing you either utilized ALL your space on the SDcard for the ext2 partition or you don't have the FAT32 partition as the first one.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrplr71:
According to acronis Fat32 1st ext/2 2nd and linux swap 3rd. Utilitized? My buddy tried it a little bit ago same thing any other ideas?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
You don't install the ROM on your card

You need to create the partitions in this order

FAT32, EXT2/3/4, Linux-Swap

You have to have an FAT32 partition to store your ROM updates and other files

Put the ROM on your FAT32, rename to update.zip and flash like any other ROM

AFAIK, all the rest of the setup is automatic (You may have to configure swapper to make the swapfile at /system/sd/swapfile.swp

EDIT:

If its not showing up even if you have it partitioned correctly, right click on my computer and click manage (if you have vista/win7)

doubleclick storage and disk management. find your sd card, right click where it has the name, and click change drive letter/name

give it a drive letter and it should show up
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
If the card is mounted in your phone you could try rebooting then remounting. Maybe try a card reader if you have one? If all partitions are set up there's no logical reason why it wouldn't mount in windows.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrplr71:
I used a card reader to part. using acronis disk director. the software see's it windows does not I went back deleted all part. and widows still does not see it

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Cinamon:
Hello all,

I bought this TouchViva with pdaviet's 6.5 ROM already installed. Although it worked fine with the seller's AT&T account, I am having problems keeping a connection with my T-Mobile service. The signal bars are low most of the time, but from time to time it loses signal altogether and searches for up to 30 minutes before connecting again. Sometimes I have to reboot to get a connection. I flashed pdaviet's 6.1 onto it, thinking it might be a bit more stable, but no joy. This is a very sleek sexy phone - but I need reliability too. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks,

Susan
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Diagrax:
Hmm Thats Weird...I Have T-Mobile on mine also but Im at Full Strength Almost everywhere...and so far havnt lost signal at all.

Srry i wasnt of any help
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Cinamon:
Thanks for the Feedback

It's good to know that it's working for you. I noticed tonight that the only way I could get a dropped signal back was to take out my sim card and put it back in. I've tried that before with mixed success but I am beginning to wonder if the sim card is not making a good connection, or that the sim cards moves a bit because it's not really "locked" in place. Any thoughts?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Diagrax:
well if your sim card is damaged that could be one of the problems, check the tmobile coverage in your area? and probably the sim card not being locked into place is bad, possibility that it moves to much and the sim card isnt read correctly(i really dont know just making educated guess without the "educated" part :D)

I NEED HTC Sync Software for my PHONE, not my PC
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] ruslanriad:
it is possible. i opened a thread few days ago.

I got the files from other ROMs.

Install them in your phone like you install apps

Wait for a while or restatr your phone.

and you need Sync for your PC.

here is the files you need.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] VarioIII:
doesnt work with APPSInstaller. How do i install it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] ruslanriad:
Try using command prompt

you must have Sdk tools on your pc

so it can read your phone

go to the directory were this 2 files located unzip them .

easiest way just put them on C: or on D:

than open commad promt from your PC i thik you know what it is

check first does it read your phone type

"adb devices"

it should show you your drvices serial number. if it ok.

type

"adb install sync.apk"

it will install the first file

"adb install pcsii.apk"

it will instal your second file.. and everything will be ok

Hello,

To proceed with RUU from the carrier, the HTC sync connection needs to be estabilished, am I right?

In order to do this, I used the files from the previous poster ruslanriad.

However, It unexpectedly crashes, no matter if I use fastboot install mode or .apk installation through the file browser.

How can I get it up and running?

[HTC Excalibur] 9wire:
First off, I've gotten a ton of very good info from this site in the past, and really appreciate the good folks here. Not sure I'll be able to contribute, exactly, but want to participate.

I have a stock, unlocked S621 w/WM6,(Unicel) a Kingston 16gb card, a couple apps like Coreplayer and Skyfire. Question is, I like this theme XP Mobile

http://www.kooldezine.com/Q.htm

mainly because i frequently change backgrounds and it doesn't clutter up the screen, and I can easily change what it says on the screen. It's set up so you can put your name on there, but of course mine says something filthy and offensive. What I would like to do is change the font on the home screen in the xml file. Don't know anything about xml, but I did change some of the colors by dl'ing other themes that had a color I wanted, then cut and paste the color="oooooo" thing. Hoping the font will be as easy!

Other question I have right now, any way to get the WMP to play .avi, so I can get rid of the Coreplayer? And/or turn off the WMP without having to use the task mgr?

In czech version of iGo is settings-device-power management-turn backlight on
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnm7bnm:
as i said in another thread, this what i found about igo backlight:

-backlight control withing igo depends on windows settings auto backlight on or off.

-when igo exits it sets windows backlight to minimum & turn on "dim backlight if device is not used for: 10 sec" (actually its 5 sec).

-if i add in sys.txt:

[power]

backlight_sync_with_os=1

when igo exits it does not set backlight to minimum but still it sets dim for 10(5) sec.

its annoying to goto windows settings turn off dim after every igo use but i guess there is no solution for this now...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Lenferink:
Thanks for the [power] setting in sys.txt, it works for turning the screen to minimum! that is, it leaves the Windows setting for brightness untouched!

But as you discribed it turns the time for dim back to 10 sec, but not when closing, it does allready when starting iGO8 as i just found out!

Where halfway now, maybe some knows a solution for the other problem: setting time back to 10 sec.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Lenferink:
Found complete working solution !

Hello,

:D It took me some time to figure it all out but I have found the solution that realy works!!! :D​

Add following in your sys.txt or use mine:

Remove the spaces between : and D because iff I leave it there they will be a smiley: :D

There are some spaces in Power, Timeout, Word, BrightNess and Control be sure to remove then in your notepad.

Beware of the following: if you have [project] name="igo8_pda" I don't know if it works because all in sys.txt will be ignored.

Maybe if you put my text above within the quotes after [project] name="igo8_pda" it will work, just try.

What I did is removed: [project] name="igo8_pda" from my sys.txt and copyed the content of igo8_pda.ini to my sys.txt for making everythin easyer to edit, even my notepad on my phone.

Furhtermore I removed: [device] type="Touch Diamond2 T5353" and copyed all that content into my sys.txt for the same reason.

From Touch Diamond2 T5353.ini I removed all [power] settings:

and every sentence starting with ; because they will be ignored by iGO8:

Attached you will find my sys.txt aswel the standard igo8_pda.ini as txt file and Touch Diamond2 T5353.ini as txt file.

In my sys.txt change:

to most likely:

and remove:

Because you don't have my loading progresbar installed.

Be sure to put the sys.txt in the right folder.

I put in on my SD-Card in the folder iGO8 first but didn't work.

When you installed iGO8 instead of just copyed it onto you SD-Card you will most likely find you sys.txt on your device in Program Files\iGO8\

If you have sys.txt on both locations just overwrite them both to be on the sure side.

Have fun!! :D
