Well...

From whats currently available from HTC....

HTC advantage is the next step up size wise from the Exec, has all u need but its a big boy. I rarely carry this in my suit pocket cos I look like I have 1 big boob.

HTC Touch pro 2 (Rhodium) is pretty awesome but no 3.5 jack grrrrrrrr

Function wise, its a goodun tho.

Higher res screen than your exec and much nicer keyboard to type on.

GPS is pretty slow (when compared to other new phones) to lock and battery life will give out after a day of being connected to net with push and general use.

Dare I say it.......Samsung OMnia Pro looks like it will be the shizzle - I think its got a OLED screen like my OMnia HD - Battery seems to last much longer with same usage.

**** EDIT ****

well after digging a bit further, this application was NOT developed by Facebook. It was developed by Google as a native app for Android. Facebook gave Google access to internal API's, not the restricted public API's that all the other current apps use.

Hello All

My company pushes proxy settings to all windows devices, which annoyingly also seems to include my phone. This of course stops internet\email from working as soon as the phone is no longer on the work network. Is there a reg key I can mark as read only? Or do you at leat know the key so I can make something to monitor the changes and then change it back?

Thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenorGR:
For future purposes and custom Radios, from the manual:

NONIONIZING RADIATION

"Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the

interference.

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel,

it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.

Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone,

causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country".

Does that mean that a bad quality radio build may increase SAR level, and if so is it possible to monitor SAR rating based on radio version?

Also, I heard that cell phones do not produce ionizing radiation(which is likely "responsible" for changes on DNA and therefore may produce cancer), is that true?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
This is referring to the physical antenna which is *inside* the phone - i.e. a piece of hardware! Not a radio ROM.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenorGR:
Yeah, but since radio ROMs interfere with GSMs, wouldn't good/bad signal reception affect the radiation a phone produces?

If we have a bad radio rom then the reception may be bad and therefore more radiance is going to be produced. Or I don't even know what the heck am I talking about? :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
If you've bad reception, chances are you're not holding the phone up to your ear and making calls which is where the "danger" (and I use the term very loosely!) lies, if there is any at all.

Dave

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefgon:
I've recently starting using the built-in Google Talk client and I'm kind of annoyed that I can't seem to clear out conversations when I'm done with them. I don't want anybody who picks up my phone to be able to read through all my IM conversations.

From the Friend List screen you can long-press on an open chat and select "End Chat" but literally all that does is gets rid of the white speech bubble under their name. If you click on the name after you've ended the chat, the full conversation is still there!

I tried going onto the Gmail site on my computer and disabling chat history. That makes it impossible to look up the contents of chats from the gmail website, but the Android Google Talk app will still save old conversations locally.

I'm starting to get annoyed, this seems like a pretty serious breach of privacy. It seems like your old chats will be cleared out after there's been no activity for a certain period of time (24 hours maybe) but it's seriously annoying that I have no way to clear it out manually.

A lot of it is just organization, I hate to see an old conversation when I scroll up through a conversation that happened later. I delete my text messages pretty regularly for the same reason. Has anybody figured out how to do this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitecracker:
Menu. More. Sign out.

Start google talk again and no more conversations.

The android application stores the chats untill you sign out. Or force closes.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefgon:
I guess that's better than nothing, but that's still extremely lame. What if I'd like to leave some conversations open but close other ones? This just seems like a poorly designed app to me. Hopefully Google irons things out a little bit in a future release.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitecracker:
Yeah i know it's lame. You can also hit "off the record" from the conversation window.

Just saw the photo on sprint.com. For months I've been seeing the TP2 online showing the svelte "race track" battery door design and silver metallic color. But no, sprint had to go and change it - for the WORSE. I mean it looks like it was shot with a 12 gauge from an odd angle.

I won't even bring up the halloween color scheme.

http://www.new-cell-phones.org/sprint-htc-touch-pro2-pictures.html

Is there some "fixing things that aren't broken" department at Sprint? Do they get bonuses for making elegant phones look ugly?

Hey Sprint, why not make it give an electric shock whenever touched? How about purple zebra stripes?

Fluorescent green?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pbk105:
I think some of these designs are dictated by the US pricing structure for these phones. Few users in the US by an unsubsidized phone and those phones have to all match pretty closely in price with competitors.

That ends up putting the carriers under pressure to minimize the overall price of the phone by cheaping out on the design. Thereby, reducing the amount that they have to subsidize. Front facing cameras, high megapixel cameras, sleek case designs etc all become victims of a carrier's attempt to minimize their subsidy costs.

It is a bad system for high end phones but works well for lower end phones. Unfortunately, most of us have been conditioned to this pricing scheme which is why some many US customers are loathe to pay for an unlocked phone.

I'll tell you what I find hilarious about the Sprint TP2... the complete lack of a CTRL key. Brilliant idea to take all your CTRL key short cuts right out of Windows!

I'm sure flashing to an OEM HTC ROM will remap the keyboard to get it back, but still, you have to wonder who at Sprint thought dedicated E-Mail and SMS/MMS keys were important enough to cripple functionality right out of the box.

I answered over at the Tmonews forums, but here you go:

Find program on SD Card, highlight it, Menu>Edit>Copy & then go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs & Menu>Edit>Paste Shortcut

then rename the shortcut so it doesn't say "Shortcut to program on SD card"

I had to do that for Pandora since it didn't create a shortcut for me

A new version of PocketComic is out and the demo is availabe to download here:

http://www.jontylovell.net/index.ph...ket-comic&catid=3:pocketpc-software&Itemid=10

It has full CBZ support and can run on WM5, WM6, WM6.1 or WM6.5 devices. It also now supports both touch or non-touch screen devices and even has a virtual DPad for devices with no physical DPad just a touch screen.

With a huge range of features it is worth checking out. Also available from the same site is Comic Converter. A free tool to convert your comics from PDF, CBR, CBZ, ZIP, RAR, PPT, PPTX or just plain folders into CBZ comic format files. The converter allows you to select lost of sizing and formatting options so you can get the exact configuration for all of your comics in one hit. With drag and drop and bulk conversion it is a good compliment to PocketComic.
[Wing, P4350 General] lennyjaxn:
I didn't want to post this in the ROM Development forum because it doesn't apply to a specific ROM, but this is a question about them.

I am looking for a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM that has Bluetooth and the OLD version of Pocket Internet Explorer. I really only use IE to stream MLB games, and the new IE is INCREDIBLY slow for that task. I use Opera Mini for everything else, but MLB requires IE. And I listen to the games through Bluetooth stereo headphones, so I need that too.

FingerMe Titanium's Lite version almost has it. There's a version with the old PIE but no Bluetooth, and a version with Bluetooth but the new PIE. I've looked around at all the ROMs in the Development forum but I haven't found a stripped-down one that has the specific combination I'm looking for: WM6.5, Bluetooth and old PIE.

I know a lot of people that read this are going to say, "Use a kitchen and build one yourself". Believe me, I've tried. I played with SuperJustKitchen and got close, but I think I just lack the required cooking skills necessary to produce exactly what I want in a ROM. About eighty failed recipes have convinced me of this.

Anyway, if someone out there can point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks a lot.
[Wing, P4350 General] tonyc0642:
I have to admit my first instinct was to jump your case for posting this. Technically it is a ROM development question, general though it is, and should be in that forum. No worries though, you did have some forethought on the matter instead of blindly posting wherever, so you get +1 for that.

However, you didn't look too hard lol, because illconcepts StripTease: Lots to Love edition is what you are looking for, and it has been around for a while now.

I posted in the main forum because it looks like most of the posts in the development forum are for specific ROMs, and I didn't want to start a new thread that didn't involve one of those specifically. Turns out I didn't even need to post a question at all, just not be so lazy.

anyone can tell me how? maybe in registry tweaks?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
Just browze to Windows\Start Menu\Programs or whereever and delete the links.

but don't want to delete it, just hide it. so i can use it again.

and,, i can't find "Lock.ink" in any location.

can you help me, please?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
Look for "Device-Lock".

You can put the links in a separate "Admin" folder and encrypt it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
You can set the properties to 'Hidden' with Total Commander (and probably Resco Explorer; I don't have it). Just highlight the link, check File--->Properties and tick the Hidden box.

edit 1: and there is no "DeviceLock.ink". i'm using Resco Explorer and "DeviceLockSetting.exe" is Hidden already.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] satu:
Still wating for the answer...

anybody can help me??

I'm still waiting for your answer... my question is:

How to Hide the "lock" and "Clear Storage" Shortcut??

Plus my new Question is how to hide the "Remove Programs" Shortcut?? (or Hide/Delete Program List in the Remove Program window)

Thanks for helping me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
Ok, this may be harder than I first thought. You basically want to disable the shortcut, right? Here is what I would try: Get a shortcut to solitaire or wmp or whatever and rename it to Lock.lnk or Clear Storage.lnk. Then copy it into Window\Start Menu\Settings (for Lock.lnk) or Window\Start Menu\Settings\System (for Clear Storage.lnk or Remove Programs.lnk); you'll need to create the \System folder, btw. Since you're on a 6.5 rom, the icon should remain the same, but the shortcut will now be redirected to the program of your choice. Since the .exe's and .cpl's are in rom, there's no way to delete them, and shortcuts for the Settings control panel work differently than Programs shortcuts. But I'm about 80% sure that this will solve you problem.

Your other option is to over-write clearstorage.exe with a dummy file: just create a blank text file and rename it (changing the extension to .exe) and drop it in \windows with total commander. That will work, although you'll get the 'this is not a trusted certificate' error instead of having a shortcut that does something semi-useful.

Why so paranoid, lol?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] satu:
Thanks for reply,

first way, thats didn't working

...

to replace ClearStorage.exe with the dummy one, this way is working good, thanks.

one of my problem is solved.

left 2 problems, and i still need your help guys..

note: for "Lock" and "Remove Programs" i just want to hide the shortcut; or delete program list in the Remove Program window, not to delete the main exe programs

...

i lost my Atom before, and nothing i can do about that.

now i'm using Srite Terminator program, it's like security program if you lost your PPC. so i have to hide that shortcuts, to get the program work more safer..

i leave the Lock password/pin empty, so terminator can remotely to lock/unlock my handset. if you activated the Lock passwrod/pin, terminator can remotely to lock your handset, but can't unlock it back. so i need to hide the shortcut to avoid from someome to fill this password/pin lock.

i hide clear storage shorcut/or replace clearstorage.exe, so "the thief" can't do a hard reset, except they know to do hard reset with hard button.

i hide Remove Programs, so nobody can uninstall my programs, specially the terminator.

thanks... and waiting more answer

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
Have you thought about disabling your hardware keys as well, because if someone steals your phone and has enough knowledge to look for clear storage, they certainly have enough knowledge to press Reset\Vol Dwn\OK...

So... you need to cook W.I.M.P or Sprite Terminator with settings preset into your ROM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] satu:
it is possible to disabling hardware keys? specially hard reset keys?

i agree with you, that the better is including W.I.M.P or SprieTerminator into ROM, including the settings of course.

to bad, i'm not a cooker, maybe you can teach me how to cook, to including application with settings. so i can build my private ROM. i can learning on it. maybe you can send me a "Cook.pdf"

a big thanks to you.
