Yea I know how to backup my contacts. Infact they sync to outlook. I just dont want to have to restore the facebook links everytime.

Thanks for your reply
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] drdrewdown:
this would be very helpful for me also. i too am an energy rom user & would luv to know how to backup the facebook links. dscottjr81 can you verify SPBbackup does work for this?? i also wonder if Sprite Backup would work? i know PIMbackup does not carry over the facebook integration.

anyone?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tomoffel:
maybe the facebook stuff is in the facebook.vol in your root directory? :) \facebook.vol

just try it ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Anthony2oo5:
facebook.vol is for the facebook application produced by microsoft.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tomoffel:
you use the link your contacts in the manila contacts page, right?

I have nothing else of facebook installed, and have the \FacebookInfo.vol on my phone, so I think thats one of the files for the "manila facebook" ..

but here is another solution: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=538513
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Anthony2oo5:
Il back that file up and restore it see if it works. Il also use your link in the event it dosnt work.

Thanks very much.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DeMiNe0:
I have over 75+ facebook links in my phone, so having to do them all again would of been very troublesome for me. I did however figure out how to backup all of the links and current PIM information for your phone.

Backing up and Restoring the ENTIRE PIM(Calendar, Contacts, Tasks) and the Facebookinfo Vol file is the only way to get your Links back intact.

Before you do this, you should do the following things to prepare for the restore. If you have an active sync partnership with a computer allready, in your active sync settings on the PPC for that connection, set you sync conflict mode to "Keep items on my device". This will prevent dupes from appearing in outlook on your PC as well as on your phone. If your synced with an Exchange server or google mobile, unfortunately the Exchange connector lacks this feature. You'll just have to manually De-Dupe those.. Sorry.

When all of this is done, Download and Install Total Commander (Google it). Open total commander and in the root of your device, rename the "pim.vol" and "facebookinfo.vol" files (If they exist. If not, then fill out your personal card and link atleast one facebook contact). Once these are renamed, copy your old pim.vol and facebookinfo.vol files into the root, and soft reset. You should now have all your contacts, tasks, calendar entry's, and facebook links.

Edit: I just checked my gmail account after doing this method (Which is being synced via the exchange connector) and I only found a few dupes which may of been left over. Post your experience if you do this as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] langers1:
Try using microsoft my phone, looking at the details it has synced to my account it saves the fb links as a note, ive not reflashed the phone since i got all my links connected, i only got the phone yesterday and am trying out my 1st rom since moving over from the Kaiser. Loving the diamond compared to my old trusty heavy Kaiser.

I have always used Microsoft my phone for backing up, i like the sync my location as if i ever loose of get my phone stolen at the press of a button it will tell me where it is :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] silenthatred:
My phone does not backup/restore facebook links. I'm not sure if it is even aware that manila creates them. Where did you see this in details? The sync details in my phone is very basic and doesn't say anything that detailed. When I look at the sync settings in the latest version of my phone, it doesn't even give an option to backup notes, and there is no mention of notes in the online profile either. Where did you see this?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] emshon:
yeah, any idea When that is coming out?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] thinkdifferent:
I just saw an armband for the mytouch at a Tmobile, but it was still behind the counter, so I think it's almost here.

I'm also waiting for it. I've been running with the phone in my pocket, but I get scared that it might get jostled to death.

I have just ordered

iGadgitz Neoprene Gym Jogging Armband for Apple iPod Classic 80gb,

120gb & 160gb

Will post my findings, it got good ratings though.

Compared to ipod the Magic is like 10mm higher, 20mm thinner and not much slimmer. I THINK. Erm :rolleyes:

EDIT: fits in well enough, feels secure, I like! I feel the need to mention Buddy runner here, awesome app.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] sgon:
t-mobile price tag $40.00, :eek: no thanks !
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] thinkdifferent:
They charge a lot for just about every accessory...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] nacron:
The rep at one of the t-mo stores here gave me the white charger and red gel for the price of the kit with the black charger and black gel...but I didn't get the mug included. Oh well, my wife got what she wanted for $10 less than I paid for them individually.

The store did not have the fitness kit. Wonder if they'll start selling the arm band separately. $5 arm band + $5 belt + $30 water bottle...lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] ccalbat:
There is a solution right now. I've used it for months on my Dream, but now that it's gone to that great cellphone store in the sky (phone died while flashing new rom) , I plan on using it for the Magic.

It all involves a case made by a company called Krusell. They make very high quality leather cases for both the magic and the dream . On the back is a mount that allows you to use your phone for running, bicycling, in your car, or just clip it in your pocket securely without the ugly clips that other companies use.

All of this is purchasable through Amazon.

Here is the link for the case for the Dream

http://www.amazon.com/Krusell-75431...12?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1256415764&sr=1-112

and here is the link for the sports pack

http://www.amazon.com/Krusell-Multi..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1256416577&sr=1-1

Now I'm willing to bet with a little bit of creative effort (and some superglue) you could pick up a less expensive case , and just scavenge the mount off the back of it. (for example the blackberry pearl case uses the same mount, but its 1/2 the price off of Amazon.)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] jelsomino:
had pretty good experience with this armband

http://www.staples.com/Griffin-Streamline-Sport-Armband-for-iPod/product_792628?cmArea=SEARCH

It has some flaws: back is not insulated so I had to wear it over my sleeve, a little hard to operate through thick front skin. But in general it's inexpensive, fits pretty well and does it job
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] rob_h:
I bought this Tunebelt. It is for the iPod Touch but fits the Magic like a glove. There is a hole in the bottom for headphone connector and you can control your touch when running.

I also use Cardio Trainer from the market and it is great.

I have one question about the Igadgitz. Is it possible to connect your headphones i the center-bottom, where the usb is placed on an Magic? I cant find at picture that confirms this possibillity
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] mrsaccess:
I use this one for some months now and I am totally happy with it:

iarmbands.com/LARGE-ARM-Universal-fit-Arm-Band-uab-010.htm

You can connect your headphones through a hole at the bottom but I prefer a stereo bluetooth handsfree. I bought this one from ebay:

Definitely it isn't the best around but it is very handy when running because you can easily pause/skip tracks/adjust volume.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MrKaon:
you almost tried every radio what about this one:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Don't forget you need to have your phone security unlocked before you can use this radio or you'll brick your device
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NICOBJJ:
Already tried that one too....:( bad reception....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Have you always had bad signal even with stock rom? If so, could be hardware related so a warranty return may be best option.

If you have unlocked your device as you say, this will void your warranty. However, if you revert the SPL to the stock one, it maybe alright. Possibly someone like Olipro with more experiece returning security unlocked devices might tell you otherwise...

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seoulboy1:
Can this be done somehow? I think it's redundant how we have a clock on the lock screen and likely a widget in your favorite flavor.

It's also getting a bit crowded up there with a few native apps like running along with notifications from facebook, twitter, sms, email, and other apps. Think the best one to go would be the clock so i'm asking.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
to completely get rid off it would require changing .smali files in classes.dex in services.jar. it would not be an easy thing to do, so if you want to go through with it read up on smali/baksmali. you can change the color of the clock to make it invisible easily but that will not free up any more space in the status bar

Hi everybody!

I would like to use my TOPAZ with GPS and TMC in my car, but without charging, the batterylifetime will be very short.

Does anyone know if its possible to get an charging cable witch integrated antenna for cars, or something similar I can modify to do this job.

Maybe I can combine a normal Headset with a charging cable.

thx
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] rfbrandao:
I am using this one. Very good to fix and give a good position to view the GPS maps. Besides, recharges battery and has a speaker/mic system so that you don't need to enable the speaker on the phone to receive or make calls.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] amraam12:
Home made cable

It's very simple to make the cable yourself. I have done it and it works perfectly...

What I did is the following:

1) I took the headset from my old Tytn II (or use the new one if you can lose it), and cut it just before the volume control (seen from the phone).

2) I cut open the usb connector, took off all plastic insulation (is some work) and disconnected all cables except for attachment number 7 (see figure), which is the antenna cable (this is the strand of small copper cables without further insulation around it).

3) I took a car charger and cut off the usb connector and soldered the two wires to attachment numbers 1 (red wire) and 5 (black wire).

Be very careful to solder very well, because you don't want any shortcuts...

Voila it's working.

Even better is the following (which I'm going to do now, now I know it's working):

1) Buy the following connector:

http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=266

2) Solder a simple cable of about 0.7 mm^2 and 75 cm long to port 7 and solder the car charger to ports 1 and 5.

That's it...

Combine this with the following software:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=512630

And you will have TMC available in IGO or other navigation software.

Hope to hear if it works (for me it does). I have TMC now and charging when using my IGO, and besides I can use my bluetooth carkit, because it doesn't think there is a headset connected to the usb!!!

amraam, in case I just want a better reception provided by an external antenna and don't need to recharge while connected, if I solder an antenna connector to pin 7 (and 5 = GND) in a extUSB connector I'll be able to have much better reception, right?

How about using an antenna like this (http://www.wpsantennas.com/301103-wilson-cellular-magnetic-mount-cell-antenna.aspx) for that? Do you think that may work to improve reception on low signal places?

From your tests, how better is using the external antenna?

This is a navigon usb charger with tmc antenna, will this also work on the HTC rhodium?? Does anybody know if the antenna is conntected to pin 7 ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] rfbrandao:
That is a TMC (Traffic Message Channel) antenna. It is used to receive info about traffic from a specific FM channel so that GPS can calculate better routes. I don't know exactly if it is connected to pin 7, but probably is. To use that service, it should be available in the place you are driving. I am just guessing, but Pin 7 seems to be only a connection to an antenna for FM frequencies (around +80 ~ 108MHz).

I haven't found anything stating it can also be used to received external GPS or Cell Phone radio external antenna signals. These are all very different frequencies, btw.

Regards.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] tomi:
question about your charger

rfbrandao

Is it possible to receive fm stations on td2 while it is connected to this charger?

If so, maybe also tmc data could be received by it without pluging in the headphones.

Hi,

For those who regularly update some new stuff, please post your recent discoveries.

Mine (updated 30/7/09) :

---------------------------------

ROM: Dheewatara WM6.5 OS 5.2.23016 build 23016.5.3.0 M2D [30/7/09]

RADIO: 3.18.19 [stable & battery saver +-5days, forgot there is even a battery in it ]

GPS : IGO MYWAY 2008

BROWSER : still the included IE

In past I tested some other browsers (I recall Minimo).

Which is your favorite recent browser which can restore last session, multi session,... ?

It would be great if you could select "always browse in widescreen" so that you don't have to turn the screen manually...

Thanks,

Innovator
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] TangerineTractor:
My two cents...

I've just gone back to my artemis after a year with an elf courtesy of my old job...

ROM: Tried all the ones around, ended up sticking with YuE 14 (I think) - WM6.5 has no significant benefits and isn't stable enough for me.

Browser: Again tried everything, but always end up using Opera Mini - I install Emertec Jbed, then a signed version of Opera Mini 4.2 - that ;ets you always allow internet access without asking every time. I have a mortscript cab that makes it the default browser for email links, and have a shortcut that runs it directly so I can assign it to the browser button. Opera Mini is by fas the fastest, especially if you're browsing over GPRS rather than Wifi - if fact, you can't tell the difference!

GPS: Had a spell when IGO8 was my fave, but at the end of the day, you need a satnav to be simple to use on the road, quick and clear. All the fancy buildings and 3-d stuff really doesn't improve the functionality and ease of use, so I'm back with TomTom 7, and that's really the best for me - fast, clear and simple.

Radio: Hadn't paid much attention - using 3.18.90

Browsing in widescreen? Easy - just use mortscript to create a script that rotates then runs the browser. I had one for skyfire, which is a brilliant browser for streaming video from BBC live feeds...
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] almozaffar:
YuE 14 extraclean is the best ROM.

3.21.90 is the best Radio.

Garmin is the best stable navigator, but no detaile Syrian map yet.
