This is what i want.

I heard about Sprite Backup, but is it true, that i have to install all the applications again or will the backup restore all my applications too?

Greets
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ferraridave:
I use spb backup, once you have flashed your rom, installed all apps, done all your personal settings, backup with it.

To restore your phone you just do a hard reset, then browse to a single backup file, click it and spb restores it.

I use it to restore my phone after testing new apps etc.

And when I flash a new rom I do the following :

1. Flash rom

2. Install spb backup and a few safe apps

3. Backup

4. Install rest of apps and register all paid for apps

5. Backup again

6. Change all system settings/personal settings

7. Backup again

8. Re-check settings and make sure everthing works

9. Make final backup

10. Install games

11. Make backup with games on

This way I can easily go back a step if anything goes wrong when tweaking manila etc, and after about a week I delete all backups apart from 9 & 11, so I can easily get rid of any games once I've finished playing them.

You can't deploy a custom image onto multiple handsets with spb backup though, for this you would need sprite/spb cloning software which is considerably more expensive.

Hope I've been of some help, Dave.

Hi!

I'd like some help in the search for a new MP3 player.

I had a iRiver with just 1Gb wich I loved, but I lost it. With only one AA battery I had music for more than 30 hours.

I need it basically for running and other exercises. I tried use a stereo bluetooth headset with my HTC Diamond but I

really

didn't like it. The controls are not so good, don't have a screen to watch the songlists and choose, can't REW or FF, consumes a lot of battery from the phone and the headset etc, etc, but, I like the fact that I can answer the calls.

So, I'd like your help to see if there's a good option to me.:D

I'd like a MP3 player, with all the musics

in it's flash memory

and with FM radio. Plus, a model with bluettoth, so I could pair it with my phone and answer my calls. I could be, for example, riding my bike, listening music from the player (and not from the phone via bluetooth) and if the phone rings, my MP3 player is paired with it so I can answer it.

So, do I have options like that?

Thank you guys!

wtf? is this Your answer? sometimes it's better not to say anything, than say something like this...

I'm using my i780 as my mp3 player with motorola s9 stereo bluetooth headset and this is awesome. Especially combined with sportypal (gps app to track my trainings and stuff) [ www.sportypal.com ] . I'm runnig and cycling (about 50 km/day) with this and, like said before - awesome combination. And ability to answer calls is ... well..it has no match! hope it helps!

hey, well actually I always think it is the best option to buy an Apple iPod. I swear to iPods they are definitely the best you can buy :)

I never had the slightest problem with iPods, because they are kind of undestroyable and really good. I tried several MP3-Players including my cellphones and I was always kind of disappointed so the best choice is definitely and iPod.

Ok, not happy.

Switched from t-mobile to vodafone as t-mobile wanted stupid money to upgrade from kaiser to rhodium.

Got new handset from voda. ****. **** call quality, **** responsiveness. **** signal.

Complained.

Second handset from voda. **** signal. contract terminated, no termination fees.

Brought a tp2 from mpd on t-mobile with plans to port my number back to t-mobile. Put the sim in today. Theres no audio from the ear piece!!!! Back speakers fine but no internal audio.

What a pile of c....

Queue lots of swearing.

Phoned MPD, got through to them but the bloke told me to email their support team to resolve.. which I have done...

And whats really gutting? I put the screen protector on the 3rd tp2 today and it went on perfectly - no bubbles, lined up exactly and the chuffing phone doesnt work......

oh I am so pissed off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chonkey:
Spoken to MPD again. I have to wait for a returns authorisation, send the phone back and then they might send me a new one.

Should have stuck with my vario III. Least that worked.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] samstables:
No bubbles AND lined up? You must be a genuis!! What's your trick. I muck them up everytime I put one on.

Shame about the phone. I have a VF one (UK) and apart from the ugly colour scheme it works a treat - you've had really bad luck as you can tell from all the happy souls on this forum who have working ones.

It is a fantastic phone, so keep with it

Hope you get it sorted soon

I believe the black HTC calendar new to Manila 2.1? I'm not completely sure but all I remember is that after I flashed to Dutty's 6.5 Roms which had Manila 2.1 it had the new black calendar. Can't wait till Manila 2.6 is out though. :D
[Touch HD General] abdur.rahim:
Black Calender

If u install the 12 tab dusk theme for ur hd u will get the calender as the 12th tab as the stock rom comes with 11 tabs only. do not use the 15 tab version as it's for oler rom v1.xx.

i've just skinned mine with wallpaper and clocks and it looks great.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] myrandex:
Now I haven't done a ton of development, only real basic stuff only to tinker and learn, but I had an idea for what I would imagine would be a pretty sweet app for WM Phones.

An XBox Interface Application, that would offer a bunch of features for people with XBox Live. What I was thinking was:

Ability to see XBL buddy list

Ability to read and respond to mail

Ability to use the keyboard on the phone to communicate with people on XBL (like the little MS keyboard for XBL)

Ability to use the phone as a "headset", to talk to people on XBL out loud

Access the XBL Marketplace, to purchase items to be downloaded to your XBox the next time it connects (as you can do over the internet now)

I was thinking that it would interface to the XBox using Bluetooth, as I believe that is what their controllers use to talk right now. I think MS could throw their weight behind it and develop this App as it could probably convince some people to look at WM phones over competitors. I don't care about iFart apps, I just want good usable apps that people will want!

And sorry if this is the wrong section to post. It seemed correct to me, but if it isn't please move and I won't be a repeat offender!

Jason
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ASK768:
Some of those can be achieved (viewing achievements, buddies), but i dont think that you could use your device as a keyboard without modifying the software on the xbox too (doing that probably gets you banned from XBL). Voice chat would be impractical as you would have to hold the phone whilst playing, which is why a headset is a better idea.

Maybe you can look for it in windows 7, but for the time being, i would suggest just bookmarking the MS website where i beleive you can log in and do everything except use the device as a keyboard or voice chat.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Diagrax:
i Like the heaset idea, but it would be better if your not there and can join a party and talk to them while your not at your console.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] algorhythm:
Another awesome idea:

Make my phone cook for me

Too bad both my idea and your idea can't happen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] myrandex:
I dunno, I think Microsoft could make it work if they decide to put it to the effort. And what I meant by the voice chat is having the phone wirelessly connected to the XBox, then using a headset attached to the phone to voicechat on (since I have all of these old handfree kits floating around that I rarely use, they fall out too easily when I'm walking my dogs, but while sitting there playing rockband I could get one of those to stay in).

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Blackhorse:
Ok this questions sounds lame even as i type it!

But here go's anyways!!

Ive noticed a significant lag when dealing with media/pictures files from the memory card, it can take time to update the many images in a folder.

Would investing in a class 6 card make a significant improovment in the delay it takes the phone to read the card?

Im guessing what im trying to establish is!

A. The card is going to slow for the phone and therefore causing lagg

B. The card is going as fast as any other would and the phone cant read that much info that quickly therefore makes no diffreannce!

Hope this makes sense!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Usually the very first time it loads the images it creates thumbnails, so this will take a bit longer the first time, especially if you have a lot of images.

People have said that a class 6 has speeded up the phone, but I'm not sure if this is psychological or not. The phone can only read to a certain speed which a class 4 should be able to produce, so purchasing a class 6 shouldn't make a difference as the limitations of the phone read / write speed can't meet the SD card speed.

I would give it a few days first, let them create first and if you're not happy, get a class 6 and see if it makes a difference.

I have a class 6 which I got ages ago for my Touch HD.

Any clues? I've tried all the settings on in the options and still nothing. I have to manually update the weather.

NRG's miniweather 1.3 is the only thing close to working on my Snap. I've tried FeatherWeather, NRG's 1.2, NRG's 3.0 full program, WeatherPanel, and a few others and none work. At least this latest 1.3 works mostly but still not updating no matter what I try.

[Dash 3G, Snap General] SoCalSpecialist:
did u check to see if u have an active data connection?

either way ill post my settings so u can try them.

after u open up the options go to advance options, then:

1 - Y

2 - N

3 - F

4 - N

5 - N

6 - N

7 - A

8 - Y

10 - Y

11 - none

try that..and let me know if it works.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] kansaskid72:
Thanks, I'll try them now. Only one off was data connection #2 for me, I had it "Y". I have a data plan...what do you mean by an active date connection?

I'll see if this works. It would countdown to my first update, then not update and no more countdown. We'll see if this option was the problem.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] kansaskid72:
Next auto update says it will occur in 37 min.

Just did a manual update and it now says "Updated - 7:10pm" ... problem is it's only 6:45pm now! The phone shows 6:45 so yes, there are a couple bugs. I'm very grateful for NRG's efforts, and hopefully this will help him adjust the final tweaks on this great program :)
[Dash 3G, Snap General] SoCalSpecialist:
what i meant by "active data connection" was to make sure u connection was on..for some weird reason it keeps switching off and i have to go into my comm mgr and enable the data connection.

i have a unltd data plan too..but i didnt know what that was when i installed it..so i clicked no LOL.

the time thing really doesnt bother me, this app wasnt made for the Ozone/Snap/Dash 3G users so its gonna have a few bugs..i guess this is one of them..

ALSO to me its only temporary until we get the CID unlocker for the MAPLE, then im sure the developers, including NRG himself will begin to push out some up to date stuff for us.

I have a problem with the windows ADB drivers..

My device was working without problem until yesterday.

I used it everyday for tethering with Azilink and everything was working fine.

Now if I connect it to my windows PC I get a popup like "could not install device, hardware not working" (or something like that, I have the italian version of XP, so the string is traducted by me and my spaghetti-english - sorry for that).

I tried to uninstall every adb-related device with USBDeview and then to reinstall everyting again.

I've repeated that procedure with every different version of the ADB driver I've found on the internet, both here on XDA, on androidiani.com (an Italian support forum) and the one from the SKD.. Nothing worked..

The only thing i may have done to cause the problem is (in my humble opinion) a Windows update. I can remember the device to be shown as a "ADB Composite Device", or something like that, and now it is a "Android Phone" instead. WTF?

Help?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] scargoll:
Hello,

You can try Usbdeview, it's free, google it :

- unplug your phone,

- use Usbdeview, delete all lines related to your phone,

- replug your phone, when Xp ask for the driver, choose the one you use usually.

The MTK processors are really, really, really slow and do not run Windows Mobile.

It's probably the i68+, not the i68+3G. The 3G model has the 3.5mm jack, the i68+ doesn't.

Try putting *#8375# into the dialer.

I had one for about a month and it was too slow for my tastes. The firmware was flawed as well. There is a website you can upgrade your firmware, but that'll cost you another $40 bucks or so... probably not worth it but you can decide that for yourself.

You can sell it on eBay :-)

Hi,

I bought a Chinese phone, a clone of the Blackberry HS 9500 I think (looks like the Blockberry 9500 clone) and it has the Engrish manual as you might expect.

Given that I set my aims before purchase (I wanted a cheap dual SIM and not much else besides a media player, basic camera, bluetooth … couldn't care less about the TV/FM and so on) and, it isn't bad but the media player is fairly rubbish inasmuch as I have no idea how to get it to play a track (pref. a series of tracks).

A colleague, though, intrigued me with talk of alternate OS's for phones and given that its OS is by far the worst part of the phone (not bad but not good either) I wondered if cheap phones of this kind can be given a new OS and, if so, how I go about it?

Thx for any advice :)

I bought mine from Bigboxstores and within a week it had a dead pixel on screen. I emailed them and said I was returning it for a refund. I packaged it exactly as it was received and it was in mint condition. A whole month went by and I kept emailing them and asking if they had it, eventually they said they did and were checking it. I eventually got an email saying 'sorry no refund, phone works fine, has a few marks on it, thank you'.

No offer to exchange it or anything. I have resigned myself to the fact I have lost my money. Such terrible customer service and using a pony excuse to avoid refunding me. It's not like I'm gonna travel to China to get my money back.

My advice is steer clear of copies and do NOT buy from Bigboxstores as if there is problem with your phone, you will NOT get your money back.
