[Wing, P4350 General] ilyabyk83:
Hi. I got that IMSMS installed. Now what?? How do I get it to log on to my AIM account??
[Wing, P4350 General] ace10134:
Idk, I've never used it. I would think that's the first thing you see after running the program.
[Wing, P4350 General] ilyabyk83:
There is got to be something else out there. This is not it, obviously!! Do you understand what kind of a program I'm looking for?
[Wing, P4350 General] ace10134:
Oh, that was a bad link. I was just reading another thread, that asked the same question, and I guess someone posted that link there. That app is for giving you threaded-style SMS, NOT for using AIM.

So yea, there is something else out there. That's what Search is for. You can try seeing if you can find anything. I'm busy creating ROM's, updating other things, and trying to help people. And right now, I don't have time to search for an IM program that works via SMS. Sorry. You can search for yourself for now.

When you do find something, post the link here, and that way, when someone else in the future looks at this thread, they will have an answer. Also, edit the first post with the link, too, saying SOLVED, so that someone in the future can easily get an answer. It's called "paying it forward".
[Wing, P4350 General] ilyabyk83:
I must of tried about 25-30 different "search phrases" already, can you please help with that, at least??
[Wing, P4350 General] ace10134:
Wow. Well, I'll go search for some for you. I'll tell you what I find.
[Wing, P4350 General] ace10134:
Ok, just try AIM's own service

http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/aimtxt?loc=aim

You just use your standard SMS.

Setup

Setup IM Fowarding if you haven't already.

On your phone, add the number, 246246, to your phone's contact's. Name it AIM Mobile or something.

Create a new text message to that new contact. In the text field, enter, "login"

You will then be prompted for your screen name and password. Reply with them. Once you've replied and logged in, you will recieve instructions.

Got it??

That's only for AIM, of course. I think Live Messenger has a similar service, too. Is that all you wanted, just AIM?? Happy?
[Wing, P4350 General] ilyabyk83:
Thanx. I found these directions myself. I want to have an actual application. Did you ever use a T-Mobile Wing??
[Wing, P4350 General] ace10134:
I HAVE a T-Mobile Wing.

I doubt you'll find an actual application for it. Most of those are developed by carriers, FOR carriers. That means they don't want others leaching off the service.

If you can find an app that isn't made by a carrier and that works, then all props to you. But you can search as well as I can. I couldn't find anything, so sorry, but I'm done looking.
[Wing, P4350 General] DestructDez1:
lol ace. This person has been asking all over different forums asking the same thing and repeating that he has a herald. I don't think this person even knows how to use his phone much less ask properly for what he wants.

BTW, I should be able to test the oz client in the next couple of days or so with unbranded htc phones. ill report when if do.
[Wing, P4350 General] ace10134:
K, it'll be interesting to hear if it works for you. Are you (DestructDez) using T-Mobile network too? Or are you completely free of T-Mobile?
[Wing, P4350 General] DestructDez1:
on a T-Mo Wing on the T-Mobile Network. I have a friend coming with some unbranded htc's on the ATT service that i want to do some testing on and ill try this on it as well.
[Wing, P4350 General] ilyabyk83:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Alcibiade:
yeah I sound stupid, usually you ahve to check in details the specs before buying device (I do own a TP2)

Anyway no IR port sucks... I like controling my home appliances with my phone and this si not possible with the TP2 :(

Have the competing phones (iPhone, latts Acer, Xperia X2, N97, etc...) kept an IR port ?

*Edit* Sorry this thread should be in the General section of Rhodium, if someone could move it that would be better
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] arcanehacker:
In these day and age, mobile devices are excluding IrDA port already.. its pretty useless for file transfers.

Besides, if you are looking at remote controls, recent devices have only included lower class consumer IrDA ports. Which means they only function at very very short distances.. you are better off using your fingers on the buttons..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jabberoo:
Hi, trolling in on the converstion here...

I have an old IPAQ PDA that came with a decent range IR port and stock Nevo Software.

It was awesome! I could control TV's, Videos, etc with it just by matching a code through trial and error.

I used to have great fun in shopping centre's turning off display tv's, then watching sales or demo people standing around scratching their heads as to why it would turn off or on or change the channels all by itself - hours of fun..!

Juvenile, yes - but lotsa fun.

Newer devices did shorten the IR range, which did make an IR port all but useless as a remote - shame, it was a handy thing to have with decent remote software like Nevo.

(Sometimes progress is not progress at all)

Cheers

Jabberoo
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] arcanehacker:
I expected such models.. If the topic starter or anyone can name a few models which they had used the IrDA port with an effective range, I bet it would be old school PDAs.. Models in recent years have just really short ranged IR.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] net_walker:
I also like the remote controling function.

I don't know why,for the designer,usually it's difficultly to carry out an useful funcation but easily to cut off an useful function.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] relsinga:
Are there no Bluetooth to IR devices that would work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] e.data.tech:
No I've only seen a IR to Bluetooth devices on the market and that is the opposite of what your looking for it would be great if it was available. Somebody should put a request in to a developer who has experience with fabricating new hardware.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] julienrl:
behold the solution to your problem!

no worries, I am working on a universal IR adaptor for phones, its coming along great; I killed my LEDs a while back so I had to wait for a new shipment and had problems with that, but delays aside, we are still set for a September release of our first products and delaying the boosted IR module to later this year (we will focus on software and regular rage IR instead).

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vladkor:
Hi there,

Thanks as always to all of the developers and pros for indulging my questions.

This post is in 2 parts.

First, has anyone else noticed the different ways that android presents auto completion? For example, with the ION keyboard, when using the mms app, the contact prefill comes in a vertical scrolling menu that has the persons name and part of the phone number. Like so, "John Smith <212-55". This font is medium size and at least gives you part of the persons phone # although it does not give you the number type i.e. mobile.

Sometimes the mms app will display the contacts in the horizontal scroll similar to the spelling auto correction. This is far more convenient in my mind as it alloes me to see all of the phone #.

At the same time, the gmail/mail apps display the contacts in a vertical menu but in a much larger font. So I end up with "John Smi" and no idea which email address. I essentially have to figure out which email address it is by selecting them one by onr until I get the one I want.

Similar issues arise with the HTC/haykuro keyboard except that sometines it's the vertical menu and other times it the floaty horizontal/expandable menu. This particular menu is really annoying in that it will cover half of the screen if there are many contacts that it prefills.

Is there a setting or preference file that can be edited so that the auto corrections/prefills appear the same way?

The second part is to get your opinion in the best keyboard. I understand that there arw three distinct keyboards. The ION keyboard. The HTC keyboard. And haykuro's keyboard.

It appears to me that the ION keyboard is the least liked of the three. I actually prefer the look of it and ot feels to be the fastest, however the spelling correction and predictive text on it is retarded.

HTC's keyboard I find is good for spelling correction and learning user words, but I find that it gets quite slow. Also, I find the keys are harder to hit as they seems smaller but that just might be in my mind.

Haykuro's keyboard doesn't really have anything wrong with it but I just don't like the fact that it doesn't have a uniform look from the alphabet pad with the long press keys to the number pad that just has the single character on each "button".

Anyone want to add their thoughts on their keyboards? Ultimately I'm looking for a fast and smooth typing experience.

Thanks for your time!

My i780 died after one year of use. So I bought an i907 to replace it. Everything worked fine, the new rom is running very stable, so I'm pretty satisfied. Except one thing though, which is that without using xtra data, it takes ages for the GPS to get a fix. I found a GPS_XTRA.exe file and tried that, but the phone wouldn't save any of the settings. no idea why att didn't include this in their build of the phone but if anyone knows more about how to get this working it will be great for everyone who owns this phone.

So I'm sure some of you lucky peeps are getting your new g2's today. What if any branding have t-mobile done to it? I hope not too much!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Practically none it seems at first glance.

Physically on the phone, there's a T-Mobile logo above the screen.

As to the software, T-Mobile is referenced on the boot splash screen, and there's a "web n'walk" browser shortcut and a few bookmarks, but that's about it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
Hi,

I am cooking my own WM 6.5 ROM for the Kaiser; and everything seems to be going great thanks to the fe~ROM kitchen (aka osKitchen).

However I am struggling to decide which shell to use with Windows Mobile 6.5

With WM 6.1 I chose spb Shell 3.01; but I have noticed that a lot of people are using the 2D or 3D version of Manila.

Could those of who have a working WM 6.5 ROM and are using an additional shell provide us with your views on which is the most stable, fastest and nicest shells to use with WM 6.5

I am looking for an objective and a subjective point of view.

* The objective portion should explain stability, feature set, speed, etc. (If the shell stops responding or requires reboots please let us know).

* The subjective parts has to do with looks mainly.

NOTE: I know the topic has been covered before, but never in a very structured approach. The implementation of WM 6.5 in the Kaiser has come a long way, and there is a LOT of misconceptions about which shells work and which ones do not. Therefore I ask only those of you have a WORKING WM 6.5 system with a shell to comment on the topic.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msd24200:
YOUR "struggling to decide which shell to use with Windows Mobile 6.5" DOES NOT warrant the creation of a new thread, only thing you should do is try them all and see which you like best...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
Why not? I am sure a lot of people want to hear the views and experience of others. I don't see why you should suggest having hundreds or thousands of members to experience system crashes and the like when others have already gone through that.

So perhaps I should have chosen a different word instead of 'struggling'; but the issue remains. What is the most stable shell for WM 6.5; which one doesn't crash the system or require reboots. That is an issue that only people who have tried it (and plenty have) can answer. What's wrong about that question?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msd24200:
easy alot of the shells already have a thread just go to those threads and ask your question, then compare the answers you get. besides just wanting to know which shells/programs work best on wm 6.5 is a kaiser software forum mater, and if your asking because the kitchen you are using is giving problems then you need to go ask in that kitchens thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Lagz0ne:
Because this question somehow not related to ROM development, you should ask on General Development and Hacking or at least Kaiser software. (I don't know why this one is specifically related to Kaiser)

And you may gather experience from the thread of the shell itshelf (M2D, 6.5 or PointUI...).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
Sure, a lot of shells have a thread, but there doesn't seem to be a thread that deals with comparisons. Why would somebody's question about such a topic results in such a negative reaction by you. I know you have quite a bit of experience in this forums, and I am new; but I don't think I am doing anything wrong by asking something that could interest a lot of people. If people are not interested in it, they just won't answer...and this thread will be closed eventually due to lack of participation. No?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msd24200:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stylez:
What is this freedom of expresion milarkys?

It's about keeping a forum clean and not having a general what shell do you use in ROM development

I'm sure if you use the search you can find plenty about what shell to use and same goes for other peeps, mind you maybe if in general\software you would get a different response :D

I bought a used tilt and the screen tilting is loose and when not slide out the screen rests a coupl mm too high off the body. i can tell the difference because my friend also has a tilt and his is no where near as loose as mine.

I am strapped for cash so i cant go and buy a $70 slder mechanism, is there a way to tighten the screws or something so it is not as loose.

thx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Yes there is and tightening the right screws is precisely whats required. Do a search here for this problem and you'll find other posts where the question has been asked and answered before (with info on how to do it).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] afn691:
Search on Google (or also here) for the "Kaiser Service Manual" and you'll find a link to a web where you can download the PDF.

There you'll find how to disassemble/assemble the Tilt and which is the screw you must work in.

How exactly do you add them ive tried the menu>wallpapers option with no luck and ive also tried the all apps> album> image> set as option with no luck aswell.. anybody got a fix for that??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
This how I set mine:

Place wallpaper image in a folder on the sdcard

On phone, press menu, wallpapers, album, select the folder I just made on the sdcard with the wallpaper, select the pic, crop, done.

I've noticed that if I select a folder with like ~30 images, it'll take forever to load, and even when I am able to select the image, I crop, and I get the HTC load screen and the wallpaper never sets because TouchFLO wasn't on at the time. So I always choose a folder with limited number of pics (1-5) so that only a few images are loaded and doesn't crash the interface.

My HTC Touch Cruise is fully dead, and I'm not sure if its the phone or the battery. The battery has 4 contacts, and tests a normal 3.8v across the out 2 contacts labeled + and -. I know LiIon batts have some sort of protection circuitry in them, to prevent over-charge and under discharge, so I'm hoping its only the battery which is fried.

Does anyone know what the other 2 contacts are for? Ie, maybe they tell the phone info about the batt or something. How would you test a batt like this?

Thanks for any info!

[Touch Cruise General] InfX:
The extra contacts on those batteries are usually for 2 purposes. Temperature measurement and battery identification. Temperature measurement is needed because the battery may be damaged when charged while too hot or too cold and is always present. Identification, if present, is usually just to mark a battery as being a specific chemistry or specific capacity, and is often as simple as putting a resistor with a specific value in there. A thermistor used for the temperature measurement may serve for identification purposes as well.
[Touch Cruise General] ccoutts:
Ahhh, thanks Infx, that makes sense. So the fact that the + & - contacts read 3.8v prob means the batt is fine and the phone is dead. Oh well, worth a try ;-)
[Touch Cruise General] pijastomig:
I had your same problem... My Polaris wasn't dead, it was a bit strange. It could turn on only if connected to ac adapter, but after a few minutes it turned off. And also, if I connected it to the ac while it was off it automatically turned on and did just like how i told. I didn't think it was because of the battery, but I bought a new original batt... And, when it arrived one month later, my Cruise turned on and worked perfectly... I can say i use my phone a lot (it has about 700 hours of calling because of my far girlfriend :( ) but the battery gives a great autonomy: with the edge connection you can talk for 1 hour and the battery drops from 100% to 89%.. Anyway, I hope you've already solved your problem now. Sorry for my bad bad English...

[Touch 3G General] jfranek:
I am finding the screen difficult to read outdoors. Checking time when on my walk, selecting playlists etc. I realise this is the characteristic of the screen technology rather than a phone fault - I have the same problem with the screen on my DSLR camera.

Two questions -

Is there a registry tweak to increase the actual maximum brightness beyond the maximum in Settings? Battery life is of secondary importance for me.

I have read posts discussing G-light and Lumos to improve auto adjustment. I don't think any of these would help me. I would prefer a quickly accessible manual swith with two positions - Indoors, Outdoors.

Has anybody seen anything like this?

[Touch 3G General] jfranek:
I know where/how to adjust the backlight brightness.

My question was if I can tweak the registry to increase the screen brightness even further when the slider is on full bright setting.

Because the auto adjustment is not working for me, and adjusting the brightness through the menus involves six clicks (taps), I would like to have a widget??? to do it with one tap. An icon which will alternate between 'indoor' and 'outdoor' presets everytime it is tapped.
