[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RacerX10:
It looks to me like I'm going to be money ahead to pay full retail on the Tilt 2 next month.

I'm on Media Net ($15.00 / month). If you buy on-contract, AT&T is going to force you on to a $30.00 / month data plan, so that's an extra $180.00 a year.

By my math, if I keep the phone longer than 13 months, I'm better off paying full retail of $499.00 for it and staying on Media Net.

Thoughts ?

The AT&T news keeps on a'comin' this weekend. After getting an idea of when the HTC Touch Pro 2 (aka Tilt 2) may be released, and then seeing it show up in inventory, the Boy Genius Report now says it has pricing information for it, as well as a couple of other anticiapted phones. Let's do this the easy way:

* Tilt 2: $299 after contract and $50 rebate; $499 retail.

* Touch Diamond 2: Codenamed the Warhawk and already seen at the FCC, will be known as the Pure and will go for $199 after contract and $40 rebate. Retails for $349.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
I'm thinking about this too. Apparently though it doesn't matter if you buy it on or off contract. The new policy is if you get a new Smartphone (AT&T branded, however you do) after September 6, they can and "will" change you to the appropriate data plan. I don't know if they will actually enforce it for people who buy them off eBay and off contract.

What I am really surprised about is the Diamond 2 is only $350 off contract! That is dirt cheap! They go for around $500 on eBay!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YodaJM:
The announcement about enforcing smart phone data plans was for people who didn't already have a smart phone I believe.

I'm hopeful I'll be able to keep my contract as is and get the 2 year price but no rebate. I'll be ordering through premiere though, so its usually more lax about the contract stuff.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RacerX10:
I don't see how they could unless they are going to do some IMEA enforcement, and they never have before.

I guess ebay is going to be the way to go.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] omaralt:
there are different ways to do this:

1- if you are able to, buy from premier. they dont ask you to change any data plan or anything

2- if you are unable to, buy it with contract, add the data plan. go home, put ur sim in your old phone (or any non-smartphone), call at&t and tell them you want to switch phones, and re-add the $15 medianet plan.

theres no point to buy it off contract if you can buy it w/contract
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fourakind:
Where can I read this new policy ?

Does someone have a link to it ?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] leewongfei:
Well AT&T has lost so much money with the iPhone that they had to make it back somehow. Good luck with AT&T. I hope they work out better for you than they did for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RacerX10:
I think the particulars on this one are what's going to matter. I could purchase it on my wife's number .. she's got no data plan at all. I wonder if ATT is going to force you on a data plan if you don't currently have one now (and don't want one)

Again, worst case scenario I can pick one up on ebay and avoid their new policy but it would be nice to know for sure what the policy is.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
They are supposedly going to do IMEI checking for all phones. They already do with the iPhone.

I can go all the way through checkout until I confirm my order on Premier and it doesn't ask me to switch data plans. If you have access to it, use it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RacerX10:
Premier isn't an option for me, but thanks for the info.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Thresher:
I am just learning about Premier, what is it or how do you get to be premier?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
Premier is AT&T's service for corporate/business customers. For instance my employer has an 'employee' discount on plans, handsets, accessories, activation etc for personal accounts, though I've never noticed a price difference on phones. Usually just cheaper plans and better customer service.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RacerX10:
I'm a little skeptical on this one. I've been hearing this for years and it hasn't happened yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Hamburg:
When I bought my Tilt (1) they had me increase my plan too, but the guy told me that I dont have to keep it at the higher plan. He told me to wait 45 days, then call AT&T and switch it back down to the lesser plan. Worked just fine... Granted that was 2 years ago, so who knows if they changed their stance on that kind of thing...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jamesmuir:
AT&T Off Contract

My TP is about to die and I want to replace it. I prefer to get off contract and right now I have two concerns:

1. 3G speeds. Can I get it with a AU phone like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-HTC-TOUCH-P...ones?hash=item27ab9cfc19&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Will this phone really work at 3G speeds on ATT?

2. I'm also interested in WinMo 6.5 like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-TOUCH-PRO-2...ones?hash=item27abab1dc0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Does anyone on this site offer a ROM service?

Thx.

James
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
It only has UMTS850, not UMTS1900. That means it will work on some of AT&Ts 3G network but not all of it. Either the listed lied or didn't know that you need UMTS1900 to FULLY support AT&Ts 3G network. Just wait a bit, AT&Ts version will be out in less than a month. You can buy it retail for $500 off contract and probably less on eBay after it comes out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
A guy on brighthand was just doing a little juggling between an old iPhone and his current Nokia smartphone. He actually has a $30 smartphone data plan, but the point of his post was that after he undid a little iPhone issue, got his old 3G plan back up and running and put his sim back in his nokia, he immediately got a text informing him of his need for a smartphone data plan, and that one would be added for him if he failed to add it. They aren't ONLY checking the iPhone anymore.

They're definitely tightening things down. I doubt it is anywhere near airtight yet, but I'd be hesitant about using last year's workarounds.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alwayslearning:
I have this phone and it does only have 850 for 3g. For me it works just great because the area I live in has 850 for 90% of ATT 3g. You don't have to have the 1900 band to get "full" 3g it works on one or the other. But if your area doesn't use the 850 band then you won't get 3g. I agree, with the phone from ATT coming in one month it would be better to wait because you will save about $300.00 off retail.

My phone is unlocked and I have flashed Miri's v2.0 ROM, all works great and it is much faster than stock ROM. Once you get the ATT phone just HSPL and flash away the ATT bloat ROM.

How do you change the color from the text on the today screen, my appointments are in white on a white background.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Martikn:
In the registry go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\4. Change the value to "00 00 00 00" for black or "00 00 FF 00" for blue. I try more colors without problems. I use FF FF 80 00 for yellow. this is well seen for quite a light background (photo)

notice: modify this registry key with memaid was weird. I try then total commander and there was no problem.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] diomondus:
Try this:

http://www.colorpicker.com/

Copy the color from the upper text box, remove # sign and add "00".

If you want to understand what it means you can take a look here:

http://cloford.com/resources/colours/500col.htm

The first three groups of numbers (00 00 00) are standing for RGB (red green blue) in hexadecimal.

Hi,

I have been playing around with Android on my Niki300 (20 key, XDA Star, official O2 Germany ROM) for a while now, but I was not able to connect to the internet.

At the moment I am using the Ion-Android build found here: http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/Google-Ion-2009-09-12.zip

My default.txt looks like this:

I have also set up the same APN in Android. Modem App claims that it connected, but it didnt't. No connection symbol or working connection:confused:

I have already tried different Radios: 1.58.16.27 (originaly supplied with my phone), 1.58.21.23S Modded, 1.64.08.21K and 1.71.09.01K. It did not make a diference, so now I am back to the modded 1.58.

I hope someone can help me with this...

Greetings, mblaster

Internet

Turn your internet on in wm before you go to android
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mblaster:
Thanks, unfortunately it didn't work for me either... Everything else seems to be fine, phone, sms and various apps work. Only internet is missing.

Another few things I have noticed: During the last bootup of android I got a force close error of com.htc.privider.. doesn't sound promising. Modem App seems to crash, when I use it after I made a call. Without a call it says "done" on startup and something like "already connected" after i press connect. After the call there was no status on startup and a hangup on pressing connect.

Any further suggestions? Or is there perhaps a better android port out there. I tried the Hero port from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544965 but it hangs in a loop during bootup on my phone.

Thank you for helping,

mblaster
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hmm, I also use the Hero port from NemanjaLo it it worked for me, only sending sms give's me a problem.

Hope this helps ;)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mblaster:
Thanks for the link, but I already have tried to follow those instructions without success. I managed to get the Hero image working by now. I works like a charm for me with the Ion basefiles, again except internet access. I am not sure if the problem lies in wrong apn settings or somewhere else. Perhaps I can test with another sim card in the afternoon.

Does anyone know where I can find the relevant log files for the modem/internet? I tried "logcat > log.txt" on the phone, but I did not find anything that seemed to be relevant to my problem.

mlaster

€: "logcat -b radio" seems more interesting...

€€: The Modem seems to be initialized with a strange IP as a parameter:

"AT< +CGDCONT: 1,"IP","internet","38.103.41.10",0,0"

The ip has nothing to do with my service provider (o2 germany), and also is not the dynamic ip that i had in wm. It is also not somewhere in my apn settings (neither in android nor in defaults.txt). Any ideas where this comes from and if it may be the cause for my problem?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mblaster:
OK, I found a workaround for that problem. I am still not sure what the cause is, but i suspect that the dialin number for a gsm phone is not dialed properly. Another thing might be that pppd is not started properly. If I have some spare time I will investigate that further.

My solution is a script that looks like this (where it says "surfo2" there should be your carrier's apn):

I called it "net.sh" and placed it in the root of my sd card. After android has booted I run it with the terminal from the devtools (#su / #cd sdcard / #sh net.sh).

The script dials the dial in number *9***# and starts the ppp deamon. After running the script (sometimes twice, don't know why) the internet works normally. Connecting and disconnecting via modem app works too. I tested this in both android configurations described in one of my older posts in this thread.

Basically the dialup should be done on boot via ppp-on-dialer from the initrd. Dont know what goes wrong there...

I hope this information is useful to someone, perhaps the developers (btw: thanks for this great android port).

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benltan:
HI!

I recently got an HTC Hero (Orange branded) which, to be honest, is more than a little frustrating after the joys of the Touch Diamond. Anyway, I rooted the phone when I got it (with instrustions and software from theunlockr.com) which improved things slightly.

Orange have finally released their official ROM update which I have installed with no problems (can be found at http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=675&news_id=261), and this has drastically improved the phone’s performance if anyone else was wondering.

My question is, will my phone still be rooted or will I need to do that again, and if so, do I do it in the same way as before? And will the ROM update still be inplace or will it have reverted to the factory default? Any help would be gratefully received. Am fairly ok at windows mobile modification, but when it comes to Android, I’m afraid I’m still quite in the dark!

Thanks very much!

Ben
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Hotdog:
If you installed a official update in RUU format from Orange then you'll be back to a standard, unrooted phone. What's worse you won't be able to use 'fastboot' to root the phone or reinstall the custom recovery image.

There is a solution though, see here: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...u-flashed-the-2-73-ruu-and-got-the-new-hboot/

Is there a program to filter the ambient noise when on a call, like there is on other phones like the Nokias? It is hard to believe that on a Nokia you can select weather you want to cancel the ambient noise or not (the processor will work more and spend more battery) but on any Windows Mobile phone or at least on the HTC Diamond, there is no such option.

I looked all over on the xda forum and nobody talks about this issue.
