[Touch Pro CDMA] sipple31:
Do you like the Titanium or Manila interface? Based on that we may be able to provide some suggestions....
[Touch Pro CDMA] MOBGangsta184:
Why not use the CDMA Energy Rom from PPC Geeks (the CDMA oriented site for PPCs), I'm running it and it's pretty smooth.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kuchlerm:
Hi,

since a few weeks i own a HTC Touch Pro2. Unfortunately i dont get a working

WPA2 (AES) preshered key connection.

I tried it with the following access points:

SMC barricade

Telekom Speedport W721V

Fritz.Box 7170

Telekom Speedport W701V

Belkin Wlan Router N+

WEP and WPA is working - but no WPA2.

Does someone has the same problem - and a solution maybe?

Best Regards,

Markus

Did you install Advanced Config, if not please do so.

In Advanced Config there is an option to enable WPA.

In my Pro II this option is disabled by default.

I did not try this out because i do not have WPA2.

But maybe it will help you to use WPA2 and AES.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kuchlerm:
Hi V6-Maniac,

thanks,... it works ;-)

Thank you! Also Worked for me with Gigabyte S1205 WM6.5 phone.

1. .NET Compact FrameWork install (3.5 Redistributable)

2. Advanced Configuration Tool (Version 3.3)

In Advanced Config there is an option to enable WPA. It will help you to use WPA2 and AES.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ij2241:
Hiya, I have a HTC Cruise and wnat to know which version of WM is running. I ask this as I sent HTC an email about their upgrade to 6.1 and the info they sent back was a ROM update with the same ROM version.

My phone device info is:

ROM version of 1.26.710.1 WWE

ROM Date of 12/17/07

Radio Version of 1.58.21.23

Protocol Version of 25.65.30.04H

To me the above numbers dont mean a heck of a lot but I hope they do to someone else..:confused:

The "About" screen indicates it is "Windows Mobile 6 Professional" (if it is 6.1, should it say "6.1"?)

Cheers

IJ
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaveShaw:
Start, Settings, About for the WM version.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xdapocket:
If it indicates that, then it's the WM version, some devices don't have the most recent Windows Mobile update from HTC.

If you wan't to try, usually you must use cooked ROM's from XDA Dev's.
[General Topics] MenosZero:
I know that this is asked every day but, I am to choose a better Contact Manager software for my Omnia and would like to hear your opinions.

I have already tried many, but the one that seems to suite my needs is the Iconsoft PhonEx.

Hi I am trying to change the default Windows start icon to display the HTC one. I have tried various .cab installers but none seem to work. I have also installed programs such as sdkcaerts.cab but it still does nothing. I am using HTC TyTN II on WM 6.1.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] muntos:
Hi, I'm newbie to Windows Mobile World, coming from Symbian and I'm a little confused about all these new terms, etc...

My question is that if I install a cooked ROM for Win 6.5 this will also upgrade my 6.1 to 6.5, or I need first to update Win to 6.5 and then install cooked ROM for this version ?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Sqoerk:
No, u can directly update to a 6.5 cooked rom.

Have fun
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Tom Lenferink:
Don't forget to HardSPL first!!!!!!!! Without this you can't install cooked rom's!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] sadonlyone:
yes, use hardspl first !!! then copy TOPAIMG.nbh to memory card, power off the phone then use volume down key and power button to boot-up and update the new rom or image. missing symbian already...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jgal:
So maybe a little newbie question from me... What exactly are RADIO ROMs and how do they differ from "normal" roms?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tanekki:
To my knowledge a radio rom is a rom containing firmware for the phone's radio. Newer versions can give better coverage or improve battery life.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rjefferis:
Hi everyone, well as with most of us in this section of the forum, i have turned from windows mobile to android. All in all it seems ok, the only thing which is starting to wind me up, is that i cannot seem to work out how to turn on the notification for exchange email messages coming in. Even when my phone makes noises for calls and sms messages i get no sound and no vibration for exchange email.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers all.

Rob.

and its having a weird problem that its switching on and off automatically while in bootloader mode. when i attach usb cable it switch off and on. and never stays at bootloader. so please is there any solution for this.?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Temjin:
Hi all,

Just updating this as a little source of info incase anyone else searching finds my experience helpful!:

- Rooting: Decided not to do this until it's clear if offical updates work with it or not.

- Contacts: Created a google account which now syncs perfectly with the phone. All contacts are stored on the web account, so clearing the phone during resets isn't a problem - just put the Gmail details back in and everything is cool again

- File Manager: Using ES File Explorer from the market place (Free), works perfectly and lists all the files on the SD card.

- Network Usage: Using NetCounter from the market place (Free), works perfectly just keeping tabs on how much data has been sent over the cell or Wi-fi; breaking it down for usage on a daily basis, weekly, monthly and total. Also seems to support alert notifications so you can have your phone warn you when you've reached a certain amount of data.

- Case / Screen Protectors: Found a few online and Amazon however yet to purchase any (there are some reviews saying the rubber cases are too tight on the phone and start rubbing the surface colour off them.

Original Post

=========

This is somewhat crossposted as I don't know if this is a more suitable board.

Anyhow! I've been stuck with a XDA Exec for a number of years however today, after it started sending emails with text messages, I've ordered a new HTC Hero on Orange in order to replace the rubbish WM OS which was giving me no end of problems.

To cut to the chase I'm wondering when I get my device is there anything in particular worth doing, newbie questions I know but we all have to start somewhere! For example:

- Is it worth rooting? What exactly does rooting the device then allow me to do? (I've come across the process for doing it multiple times but I'm still none the wiser as to what this enables the handset to do)

- In line with the above is there anything worth doing to the device during setup to improve it's overall usability / performance?

- Are there are any particular apps that are worth putting on to improve performance? Giving control over the CPU maybe?

...etc

Any general advice for a new handset would be appreciated as I know there are some brilliant minds here (just finding all the relevant information is sometimes tricky!)

All the best,

Temjin
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJGurth:
Yes a few things

before you start up the device create a google account online first, ie create a google email address eg. jobloggs@googlemail.com

Then make sure you setup the phone with this address when it starts up, otherwise you may have problems accessing the market like me haha.

Copilot is a must its an excellent program, just as good as tomtom if not better.

i installed solitare as well cos i missed it off my old diamond.

As for rooting i as yet have not done so because there seems to be no real reason so far, installing apps and modding the phone is simple by adding widgets etc.

The phone runs as smooth as day straight out the box for me, but my phone is unbranded.

Hope that helps
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiz:
Not much point to rooting yet, unless you want to have hundreds of apps installed (app2sd).

I would recommend that you remove the "people" widget as it is really not hugely helpful and slows the phone down a lot, especially when swiping from screen to screen. If you experience lag, you can also try removing the large clock widget and peep. Without these, the phone is much faster. (it's kinda sucky having to remove them but to be honest I'd rather a more responsive phone, personally). Check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544958

Try to avoid using task managers and task-killers as these will cause more trouble than they are worth - let android manage processes and memory by itself.

Finally, don't go wild installing apps. Certain apps such as monitoring widgets cause havoc with the battery life, so install apps one or two at a time so that you will notice if performance or battery life suddenly plummets.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystaka:
Can you advice if NetCounter or BatteryWidget eats a lot of battery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siggaard:
NetCounter is OK, I haven't noticed any drop in battery life using it. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJGurth:
Oh when hard reseting

When you hard reset your phone if you ever need to, remove your simcard then put it back in after the reset, otherwise you lose you sim contacts like i have!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Temjin:
Hi guys!

I got my Hero on Tuesday and so far I'm absolutley loving it (although coming from WM 5.1 doesn't take much to beat ;) ).

I've got a few more questions:

- When synced with Google Contacts a home address on the Hero is listed under "Find Home". This cuts the address short, is there a way of making it making the address field more presentable?

- Is there any native way for seeing how much data has been downloaded (gotta be careful of my tarrif limit!) or is there a simple app for this purpose?

- Is there anyway of browsing file directories?

- Is there any sort of protective cases or screen covers for the Hero?

In case it helps any other people who are looking for starter information:

- Rooting: Decided not to do this until it's clear if offical updates work with it or not.

- Contacts: Created a google account which now syncs perfectly with the phone. All contacts are stored on the web account, so clearing the phone during resets isn't a problem - just put the Gmail details back in and everything is cool again :)

Thanks!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiz:
NetCounter is lightweight, to the point and very effective :)

You need an app, there is no native explorer. I have found ES File Explorer to be the best free explorer. It supports SMB network shares with ease too. No need to go through the hassle of connecting by USB and mounting the SD card to xfer files... you can just pull files directly over your network.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] supersanj:
Go to Start-Settings-System- Clocks and Alarms-Alarms

Make sure none of the three are ticked.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Miralad:
well i am useing it as my alarmclock in the morning. So thats not the problem. The problem starts when the alarm goes off. I used to get a turn of alarm/snooze buttons on the screen to turn off or not, but that doesnt show.. and when i open de settings for the alarm and unklick in the checkbox it still dont turn it off.... wierd. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Tjotte:
i belive i have a similiar problem.. the "pop-up box" asking you to wether to turn of or snooz your alarm has dissapered and won't come out again. yet you can (if accurate enough even though you just woke up) tap the small bell-icon in top of screen bringing up a larger screen with those present icons, click the bell icon again (less accuracy this time) that action will bring up this pop-up box and you get to choose, turn of or snooz. GL
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kwasmir:
I belive that

Start/System/Clocks and Alarms/Alarms

and from here navigate to the second tab.

Chose the event Reminder and check the event called 'Show alarm on screen'

I do have a danish ROM - I do hope and believe tha I'm on track with the naming of the menus/events.

I have trouble with it too - it seems that it now and then gets unchecked perhaps on a soft reset - I haven't figured out yet - but It's noticed when my alarm goes of in the morning, if I can or can not stop it easily.

As described, clicking on top i taskbar on the Bell is the way to hit the alarm if no popup is available.

If you already have hexagon on your device just replace StartMenu_Hexagon_Active.png in windows folder with one of those two...

Name of the icon must be "StartMenu_Hexagon_Active.png"

I think this one is more visible and funny...

I am sharing an account with a friend and it is a good way to share apps or script in a very fast way.

- Is there an application for Android to have an increaing volume for incoming calls?

Howdy - today, after unlocking my SIM, I noticed that I had to re-enter all my email passwords again. Obviously it removes previously saved security info.

It seem that my facebook info was removed too. The only problem is, now when I go to attach a previously linked contact back to facebook, their name is missing from the list. Everyone who was attached before is STILL attached now.

Anyone have any idea which file/registry/db that info is saved in?? Should I delete my exchange partnership and recreate it to get a whole new pim db? Ugh...

WARNING! - If you use the FB integration and plan on unlocking your sim, you may be in for a little PIA.
