how do you not find it secure? the "limited number of combinations" you speak of is ASTRONOMICAL. for the lowest number of connections possible (3 dots), you have 3^9 possibilities, or 19,683 possible combinations. not to mention you can have all 9 dots connected in whatever order you want. a rough calculation based on this brings us to a number in the BILLIONS of possible combinations.

this is basic math. the phone is secure as you want it to be if you're willing to take more than 1/2 a second to unlock your phone. try a 4 or 5 dot combination and unless you're using something VERY predictable, nobody will ever guess it.
[G1 Apps and Games] techbeck:
Really? I tried to do more than 4 but for some reason it wouldnt let me do more. Let me check again...maybe I am doing something wrong.
[G1 Apps and Games] techbeck:
yea, im an idiot....thanks

and the phone locks you out after a certain number of attempts requiring your gmail username/password to unlock.
[G1 Apps and Games] kusotare:
unless the person who unlocked the phone did anything else on the screen, in which case, you cant tell. also, if your fingers are that oily that you're leaving streaks on the screen every time you use it, i might suggest washing them, perhaps for the first time in your life.
[G1 Apps and Games] jashsu:
Since this is "basic math" as you put it, then it might help to actually get the math right.

I. A three-dot passkey on a 9-dot pad would have 9^3 possible entries (729), not 3^9.

II. Since you cannot choose the same dot twice, this is actually an example of permutation. The correct number of possible entries is 9Px, where x is the length of the passkey. For example, for a three-dot passkey, the number of possible entries is 9P3, or just 504 possible entries.

Now you know, and knowledge is.. you get the idea.
[G1 Apps and Games] kusotare:
quite true, and i'm big enough to admit it.

even so, you still prove the same basic point. the total number of combinations someone could have would be the following:

3 dots+4 dots+5 dots+6 dots+7 dots+8 dots+9 dots

or

504+3024+15120+60480+181440+362880+362880

which adds up to a possible 986,328 possible lockscreen combinations. now, given a basic premise that you can do one combination every 2 seconds, and for every 10 tries you suffer a 2 minute delay (120 seconds) to reboot the phone and try again (doesnt really work that way, you have to safe mode it, but lets play with the logic here) and the very last combination tried is the one thats yours, it would take the following length of time:

2(986328)+120(986328/10[rounded down])=13776096 seconds.

this translates to 159 days, 10 hours, 41 minutes, 36 seconds.

of course, the opposite is also true, that they could get it right on the first guess, in which case it takes 2 seconds. But those are pretty long odds.

but as stated, when you get locked out, theres a second layer of security, which is your gmail name and password. so unless the person unlocking your phone knows a lot about you, but somehow cant figure out your lockscreen combo, they're pretty much SOL.

simply put, most people arent going to try and unlock your phone. they're going to visit a forum like this one, figure out how to wipe the phone (which doesnt require a password, although that might be a nice feature for cyanogen to build into his next recovery image), drop in a new memory card and then make their own password for their brand new phone. the only people you really have to be worried about is the people who are always around you, like girlfriends and wives and parents and such. but then again, hiding stuff on your cell phone from people like that is shady business anyway.
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
no matter the combination, just looking at the finger print trail and it's possible to unlock. i find it not very secure myself. many of my friends who pick up my phone after several tries following a my finger print trail were able to unlock. i wish there was a pin # style lock. even if there is finger prints, there isnt a connected dot trail from one to the next, so itll be a bit more secure.
[G1 Apps and Games] jashsu:
I think the above comments relating to grease/fingerprint streaks have merit too. I unlock my phone quite a few times a day. Now, I like to consider myself a pretty hygenic person. I wash my hands no less than, i'd estimate, a dozen times a day. Still, I can't help but see the faint (or sometimes not so faint) fingerprint streak of my passkey on the surface of the screen.

The design of the dot lock screen looks really nifty, but I can't help but feel it's actually not a very practical implementation. For example, a regular number pad screen would eliminate the fingerprint streak problem and the problem of being unable to move from one dot to another without "selecting" a dot that is located in between.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] antloh:
Last Saturday, I send my 3mth old TD2 to HTC Service because my screen was not responding to touch. From this Forum, it seems like quite a number of people are having the same issue with the screen.

I got a call today from HTC claiming that my screen is crack and not covered under warranty. They even sent me pictures of the phone with the cracked screen.

I was very sure the screen was not cracked and forward the service report HTC gave last Saturday back to them, which did not indicate any crack screen.

To avoid these nonsense from HTC, take a picture of your phone with the serivce report (especially if your screen is not working) before handing it over to HTC.

Waiting for HTC to reply. :mad:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] akash_84:
Great, Mines going in for the same reason too.

This is the reply I got

This fault is known as "Newton RIng" and requires that the screen is replaced. You can arrange this by avlling 08458900079 option 2 and we will collectthe device, however please note that whilst this fault may be covered by the warranty, if the engineers finf that the fault is caused by damage (excess pressure on the screen, or damage to the casing) then they will charge you for the repair. best REgards

I have replied back to make certain any damage on the screen will only be caused by THEIR case as the phone does not even go into a pocket - just their case.

I have also pointed out the unit is mint condition as it came out of the box whereby THEIR protector went on on minute 1 of unwrapping it.

I have taken images all-round and as a phone engineer anyway, have done the usual reports both internally and externally just incase.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] yrreP:
How did you ship the device to the repair centre?

Did you use an HTC provided courier? Insured postage?

I am wondering if it's possible to schedule to turn Bluetooth on and off at specific times of the day, automatically on our Rhodium

Does anyone know of this is possible?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] eepyaich:
It's not a freebie, but I use SpbPhoneSuite to provide different "profiles". These can be used to turn on/off bluetooth and can also be configured to activate based on time or other triggers (e.g. during an appointment, when cradled, etc.).

As this is primarily a Today Plugin, I've used "Second Today", which gives me a separate today screen (aside from TouchFlo) which I use to access PhoneSuite and change profile if I need to do it manually.

I had a licence for PhoneSuite from my previous phone, so I didn't care about the cost.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JustBored:
I found G-Profiler. Free and alot of config.

BUT... The Bluetooth part dont work.

I've found the reg key for BT on the Rodium:

HKLM\system\state\hardware\

bluetooth=8 is the value for off

bluetooth=9 is the value for on

I havn't found the place to put that value in G-Profiler.

But it's possible to call a prg instead. Mortscript to change this reg-value?

Is this the easiest way? I've had this problem in other prg aswell, so i'd like to know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mail_e36:
Thanks for your replt, however I read that HTC switched from the WM BT-stack, to the WidComm BT-stack and SPB Suite will no longer control BT as we would expect.

Any other ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drarich:
phoneweaver

With SBSH Phoneweaver, Profiling works fine with Bluetooth. Make sure that you use version 1.4.2 (the issue with the BT Stack has been solved in this version)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] eepyaich:
Ahhh - I'd seen the Bluetooth option, but not actually tried to use it in anger.

D'oh!

Phoneweaver looks as though it might also do the trick, though...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HandoK:
Hi there!

I apoplogize if my Google-Fu is weak and something similar has been posted before, but I personally couldn't find it, so here it goes:

I am in a little bit of a tigh spot atm.

Here comes the sob story, feel free to skip this to get to the actual question at hand:

I am currently on Softbank in Japan, want to get a HTC smartphone (not the dumbed down stuff they try to sell you here) so the plan WAS as follows:

1. Get an unlocked Touch Pro

2. Get the Full Data Flat Rate

3. Setup the open.softbank connection, MMSLite and all the other good stuff posted here by guys who gave a total noob the confidence that it can be made to work

So the Touch Pro was ordered, the subscription changed (will be effective of September 11th - yeah, I know, ominous date *sigh), the neccessary .cab files downloaded and anticipation set in.

Today I got the bad news that the online store that sold me the Raphael was actually out of stock (despite the fact that it doesn't show up on their website, they confirmed the order and I made the payment last friday). After having an attorney in our company threaten them that he would have all their bank accounts frozen if they didn't refund me within an hour I got the cash back within 10 minutes, so no money lost.

BUT

As far as I can search, I cannot find an online store that will actually sell you a Raphael for less than 100.000 Yen or thereabouts, yet Rhodiums are in abundance and at an expectable price of 80.000 - 90.000 Yen (that is what I could dig up on short notice). So it looks as if I "have to" get a Rhodium, since I physically refuse to fork over that much money for a Raphael.

Now for the actual matter at hand for those who are busy:

From what I can tell the bright heads here have been able to get a Raphael to work near perfect in Japan (i.e. use the flat-rate properly, get MMS to work via MMSLite303, read and write Japanese etc.) BUT apparently the same cannot be said for the Rhodium from what I could gather with my possibly weak Google-Fu. The connection set-up seems to work but regarding MMS and Japanese input everything appears to be still under development. I know it will get fixed eventually, (still, I want to be able to confidently step up to the iSheep surrounding me and laugh in their face ;) )

So what's the current status on getting a Rhodium to work the same way as a Raphael on Softbank in Japan?

Any help will be highly appreciated!

EDIT

Yes, it is possible. Got the phone yesterday, set up everything and it works like a charm. So if you are in the market for a Rhodium in Japan: Do it!

And once you're finishied, be nice and say thank you to all the people who racked their brains and originally came up with the solution and then put it into nice and easy .cab files like BeeGee_Tokyo, Shunsai, Larsuck, Asukal and many many more ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Check my website. All I wrote there is at the moment working on my TOPAZ aka Diamond 2 under WM 6.1.

Should be no problem to apply the same to a Rhodium.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shunsai:
Yeah, BeeGee's site was pretty helpful to me (i'm using the rhodium in japan too btw).

i haven't gotten my first bill yet since independently changing from Softbank X01HT to an unbranded HTC Touch Pro 2 (i don't actually use internet on my phone anyway), but i'm pretty sure it will be no different than normal. i just popped in the sim, ran the softbank connection setup cab, and i have been able to send and receive MMS and SMS messages and phone calls no problem (well, setting up the Softbank MMS is a little intuitive).

it was a little tricky for me getting Japanese input/output to work, but i detailed my steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550605

there are a few other users in these forums somewhere in the same boat as us, and i think quite a few of them have gotten theirs working without much problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HandoK:
Thanks for all the great info!

@BeeGee_Tokyo: I am actually very aware of your website and the cool step-by-step guide it provides. Really understandable. Big *thumbs up* for taking your time to write it :)

@shunsai: Yupp, I also read your thread prior to posting. However, I got a little bit confused in the end since there was (at least for my n00bish self) no real conclusion how you can get everything regarding Japanese input to work properly. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the time and effort that went into it, but the results appear to be inconclusive. Especially since it ended in a hard reset, which afaik sets you back to your basic rom.

Ok, enough kissing up ;) After doing a little bit of cross referencing between several threads and BeeGee_Tokyo's page I have a few questions left regarding the Japanese input. I hope I don't appear as kind of a thicko, but I'd like to know what I am getting myself into since this will be a first for me:

1. The .cab provided BeeGee_Tokyo's page for Japanese input seems to comprise Asukal's LetsJapanWM6 (not entirely sure about the name) and the Ooki Japanese Input. Is that correct? If not: Please correct me an I WILL edit this post.

2. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything in Shunsai's thread regarding the interaction between the Ooki Input and the TP2 apart from something along the line of "Good, but not as good as a new piece of software could be" (briefly summarized, not quoted!). Anybody have any experience in that department?

What I would like to end up with when all is said and done is the following (rearding Japanese input):

- Be able to read Japanese

- Hardware keyboard still works for English/Romanji with all keys intact (Text prediction and/or XT9 are optional)

- Software keyboards to input Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji (don't really need it often, so using the stylus to input Japanese would be fine).

So in the end it boils down to this: Is there anybody who has successfully achieved the above on a TP2 with the .cab provided by BeeGee_Tokyo, i.e. LetsJapan and Ooki Input?

Again, thanks for all your help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeeGee_Tokyo:
you are welcome!

you are complete correct. I mixed Asukal's LetsJapanWM6 with Ooki Japanese Input. I love Ooki's solution, because it forces me to write Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji with the correct strokes :D

At least I was successfull :eek: Otherwise I would not share my solution :rolleyes:

And another guy here in Japan contacted me and together we setup his Xperia X1 with my cabs.

And I setup my IT guys TouchPro with my cabs as well, and his keyboard is working for English/Romanji.

AND!!! ALL CREDITS FOR MY CABS GO TO THE CRACKS HERE ON XDA-DEVELOPER!!! All I did was putting together the pieces to an solution.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shunsai:
you've inspired me to clean up my thread. it seems that a lot of people passing by that thread didn't understand that i was finally able to figure out how to 1) be able to read japanese 2) write japanese 3) use both software and hardware keyboard to input japanese and english.

the hard reset you're referring to was just how my intial experimenting ended. the part after that (the highlights) is the actual steps/solution. but thanks, i realize now how unclear that was! LOL

i'll fix it in that thread later [fixed], but to do what you want to do on your TP2 you should do the following:

1. install Asukal LetsJapan6 and restart

2. install Asukal's IME_31J_FULL, but do not restart

3. install Asukal's Enable_IME and restart

that simple. romaji, kana, kanji, kensaku, tegaki (the handwriting recognition inputs) will all work. XT9/Predictive will be broken. And you will need to switch between かな　カナ or 英数 on the soft keyboard to get the hardware keyboard to type in the language you want.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HandoK:
Okay, I'm so thouroughly convinced that I ordered the Rhodium today (should arrive on Monday) and plundered brando for some nice accessories (should arrive at the end of next week).

@shunsai: Ahhh ok, now I know what you were getting at. Thanks for the update here and on your thread!

But I'll probably try out BeeGee_Tokyo's .cab first and if that doesn't quench my thirst for Japanese input I'll give Shunsai's solution a shot. Reason? Shunsai's solution is far more than I assume I'll need at the moment and involves more than executing a .cab. Still, love that you figured it out and went through all the trouble associated with it.

Thanks to BeeGee_Tokyo and Shunsai (in order of appearance ;)), the crackers who figured it out in the first place and the community in general for being nice to a n00b.

I'll report the results of my efforts and once successful will mark the thread as "Solved" for the further reference of future eager-but-unsure Rhodium Owners!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] e60202:
Reading Japanese only

Am I correct to say that if I only want to be able to read Japanese, I only need to install Asukal's LetsJapan6?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HandoK:
I would say so from what I have read so far.

Optionally can follow the instructions on http://www.ookii.org/software/japaneseinput/font.aspx .

Admittedly, I still have to test all of the stuff in this thread myself once I get my Rhodium, but so far, I would say yes.

I'm tearing out what's left of my hair trying to figure this out... One of the ROMs I tried this past week had what I could swear was Google Voice Voicemail integrated into it. It had four tabs, but instead of Favorites it had a list of your Google Voice voicemails.

I have downloaded and installed at over half a dozen ROMs this morning trying to find it again - to no avail.

Not sure if any of you are interested in running your own site dedicated to your ROMs or mods ETC, however if you go out and pick yourself up a domain, I would be more than happy to provide you guys with unlimited space and bandwidth hosting as soon as the domain is pointed.

Hosting comes with CPanel, and no expiry date.

Just may way of giving back to the people that have made several of my phones the most epic experience ever.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ruinertt:
I currently have the T-Mobile stock 6.1 ROM on my phone and am able to connect to my Pioneer headunit's bluetooth (CD-BTB200). Everything works fine, but the only thing that I cannot change/figure out is how to make my headunit ring rather than my phone. It used to work with my Dash along with Jetware, but Jetware will not work on the TP2's Bluetooth stack.

My questions are as follows:

1. Is there anyway to adjust the bluetooth sound output to the headunit (I have the option checked to allow for system sounds on the hands free device, already)? Perhaps there are some hidden registry values? Some routing registry changes if not in the GUI, hidden somewhere?

2. Does WM6.5 have more Bluetooth options that are not included with the T-Mobile ROM? I haven't upgraded to 6.5 yet, but if those options are there, I might take the plunge before all of the bugs in the 6.5 ROM builds are fixed.
