I'm looking for the cheapest possible way to get a new HTC TOUCH PRO II.

I need unlimited Internet, unlimited texts, and low minutes - with tethering.

I've had AT&T family plan for a while now, but that's now falling apart. I used the "14.99 unlimited MEDIA NET for regular phones" plan for a while on my TILT with great success, but my Tilt's SIM Card door recently died, rendering the entire phone useless :( :(

What's my best bet guys? Thanks.:)
[General Topics] galaxys:
Well u don't have that many choices, and it could depend on the 3G towers in u'r area. But, I'm with tmob because of the lower priced packages. I do have good 3G in Vegas from them & I'm paying $30/mo. fo unlimited data. Check their website for plan $....
[General Topics] lude219:
Unless your service sucks horrendously, stick with AT&T. AT&T is rolling out the TP2 next month and you can just keep your existing data plan. It's counter-intuitive to switch carriers and have to deal with activation fees or any other fees, not to mention the signals on an unfamiliar network, when you're content with AT&T. I think everyone's offerings are pretty much similar +/- a few bucks depending on plan and features added.

Though ultimately it's up to you. If you dont like AT&T for whatever reasons, switch out.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] edrider82:
I thought I knew the meaning of "a love/hate relationship" until I got the Verizon XV-6800. I love having a syncing calendar & contact list, Office Mobile, WiFi tethering with WMwifiRouter, & all of the other software available for the Windows Mobile OS. Unfortunately I hate the durability of the phone. It seems it can't even stand up to daily use. I'm now on my sixth replacement which I've had for 5 weeks now. Suddenly it's having the same problem the 2 phones prior to this one had; dropping keys, not responding to input (keyboard or on screen,) & randomly resetting upon hitting the power button.

I'm posting this here not just to complain somewhere, but more to see if anyone has had any similar issues or has any recommendations. I doubt these problems are the hardware, so I'm starting to wonder if anyone may have dealt with similar problems by flashing a new rom. I've considered it for GPS functionality, but if it would solve these issues then I'd definitely be all for it.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
It is likely a hardware problem. The mogul a becoming way outdated. I would upgrade if you dont have gps abilities. I would think that means you have WM 6.0 is is old itself. What is your carrier. Please update it in your profile so help is easier to come by.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] edrider82:
Alright, updated that. I'm with Verizon. It's really annoying to watch them lock down GPS on their phones, only to change their mind, and open it up on other phones just leaving XV-6800 users hanging.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
Gps is easy to get going if you have a data package. Not as easy if you don't have one. I can help you get gps if you need it. Also what is your rom version under device information.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] edrider82:
Ya, I've got the data package, and I've had GPS in the past using Valhalla (until VZW shut it down.) I'd love to have it back! It looks like I'm running 5.2.19212 (Build 19212.1.0.3)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
If you had vahalla before then you have MR1/2 then it is easy. Just install the serf cab for vahalla then *22899 and gps works again. This assumes you have vahalla already installed. If not reinstall vahalla first then *22899. Then serf cab then *22899. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3555579&postcount=703

Let me know how it works.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] edrider82:
As I said in my initial post, I've replaced this phone many times. The last phone that ran GPS was maybe 3 devices back. At the time I had flashed that to MR1 & windows 6.1. Since then each replacement phone has come to me with WM6 loaded. My current one says 6.1, is it a fair assumption that this has MR1? I guess I need to reinstall the Valhalla stuff as you mentioned. I'm going to get started on that process. Where's the best place to find the Valhalla cab to get started?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
If you see under rom version:3.57.605.1 or 3.57.605.2 then you have MR1 or MR2. You are then ok to install the vahalla cab the serf cab using *22899 after each install.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2936378&postcount=17
[Mogul, XV6800 General] edrider82:
Ok, I'm using 3.57.605.2. I did install as you said; Valhalla, *22899, Serf, *22899, check location settings, check for active data connection. All successful, but no fix. Any suggestions? (I've been reading some other posts, and I'm afraid I'm running into the same problems.) Are there additional steps I need to be following?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
I suggest you use HTC gps tool or gps viewer to check your lock status. Do you see any satellites come up under satellite view? Are you outside or near a window? And your location is turned on from 911 only correct?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] edrider82:
No, it's still not getting a fix. Location is on, and the data connection is active. Still nothing. Are there any other steps I should try. I was reading some additional steps on the wiki...

I see that your running DCD 3.3.4 & 3.42.40. Since I've got this keyboard issue as well might that be another way to fix the GPS issue and simultaneously also the keyboard issue?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
A new rom wont fix a bad keyboard. I suggest a hard reset and then install vahalla, then serf, then gps software. Then checking for lock. I have done this before so I know it works. Just for kicks try the vahalla cab attached because the link I provided could be different. I couldnt find a link for my version. Also I will ask again did you see any satellites under the satellite view for either gps software(blinking red dots).
[Mogul, XV6800 General] edrider82:
The keyboard works fine at times; right now for example... I think the problem is software based. I'm just looking for a really clear how to on the flashing process.

I'll try working with the Valhalla cab you supplied, as I'm not sure if the version I used was the correct version. I know there's no uninstall for the valhalla cab, are ther certain files I should delete or just install over the old one?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
Ok first i doubt it is software issue. Second why not just get another replacement handset, they are free. I dont know if installing the other vahalla over will work. That is why I suggested a hard reset. But if you dont want to do that now just get a another replacement and start with them on it.

Why should they? Do you donate all your earnings to charity?

We all need a level of profitability, and google, being a corporation, is pretty greedy about theirs, but you know what, that's their decision.

The community needs to stop bickering about policy and start working towards fixing the problem.

As jbq said, we need to make AOSP usable, right now it's not, and devs have been very negligent about this aspect. Mostly, devs have been making their own apps (which improve nothing over AOSP) or modifiying the existing google builds, but AOSP, the only public domain aspect of android, has remained untouched and up to now only google has been contributing to it.

It's time us, as devs, start making of Android an OS, not just a framework that OEMs can take and add their proprietary bits on top and of little use to anybody else.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bitslizer:
I have a request, I know the TP2 have native Mass storage driver (ie the MicroSD can act as a flash drive), normally this depends on the Phone detecting a PC before activiating that feature.

However, I have a MP3 player that accept USB flash drive, but plugging my phone into the player won't trigger the mass storage activiation.

Does anyone know how to toggle it manually somehow somewhere? or can write a small/quick app to do that?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] headshok:
The option is under All settings, connections tab, USB to PC, then Disk Drive.

Give that a go...

I use mine in my car which has a usb port that reads flash drives and just plays songs via folder selection, however it doesnt charge from it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nickf123654:
There is an app I use called wm5torage that should work for what you want. It toggles the usb connetion as a mass storage device. Give it a try and see if it works for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bitslizer:
Doesn't work, as I mention that depends on the Phone detecting the connection as a PC before it would activate the Mass storage feature (you can tell because the storage card disappear from file explorer) and my phone just won't detect my MP3 player as a PC
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nolimit78:
I flashed a couple rom's on my MT3G (currently on JACxRom) And noticing that under the model number is G1. I remember reading about typing something in terminal to fix this naming but cannot find it. Can anyone help? thanks!:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phillip_hooper:
I don't know if this causes any problems, but you can pull build.prop and edit the ro.product.model value to be whatever you want.

in a command window type:

adb pull system/build.prop build.prop
edit build.prop

Change the ro.product.model value from G1 to whatever you want and save the file.

Exit the editor.

Now type:

adb remount
adb push build.prop system/build.prop
adb reboot

Hope this helps.

i changed my font size when i was texting someone and i don't know how i did it. it is now too small, and i want it a lil bigger. does anyone know how i can change the size in my text msgs?

also, i just got this phone. is htc going to send all pro2 users the update when oct comes around with the new system? or we **** out of luck?

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
1. Use the zoombar to change font size.

2. Yes, HTC will release WinMo 6.5 for TP2 users.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] knote:
i checked the menu and i see nothing for zoombar. this isn't for the browser that i am askign about. this is for my sms text msgs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
I assume you are talking about the default WinMo Messaging app? The zoombar works as a font-size changer in that app.

Why are you looking in menus for zoombar? The zoombar is the part of your device between the screen and the 4 hardware buttons.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dazkeirle:
Wow didn't know that.

Just to confirm it does work as a font size changer, but only when focus is on the text editing area at the bottom.

If focus is still in the previous threaded messages then the zoom bar works as a scroll bar.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] knote:
i wasn't. you told me to look for zoombar. and i figure zooming had to be in the menu bar since thats how it is in alot of applications i use.

on a diff not, i tried to send a text msg like normal and hit the the 4 hardware buttons and it still does not change my font size. the reading pane window where old text msgs are is the area where i want to change the size.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] knote:
how do i get it to focus? why can't htc put tips and **** like this in their phone manual? this is frustrating.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Haha, dude, I think you're losing me.

What's your "normal" way to send a text message? There are several ways: (1) via compose new, (2) via TF3D, (3) via the threaded view of the WinMo Messaging app.

Why are you hitting the 4 hardware buttons to change font size? (Call send, Call end, Windows key, and Back key are not going to help)

What's this "reading pane window" you are referring to?

What I'm trying to say is a picture is worth a thousand words. Going forward, if you want help with troubleshooting, post a screenshot.

But for your case, try this. Go to "Settings" tab in TF3D, tap "All Settings", go to "System" tab, tap "Screen", go to "Text Size" tab, and adjust the setting here.

When a field is "in focus", that just means that it's active or that's where the cursor is. In fairness to HTC, I thought there manual was quite comprehensive. They've put just enough info to get someone who's not familiar with WinMo to be able to use the device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SecretAgentMan:
Well, I don't think they're going to SEND it to you. I'm sure it will be available on you're carrier's site, presuming the carrier releases there version in October.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnewell05:
Ok this is extremely annoying. I got the g1 and rooted with 1 click rooting cyanogen 4.0.4 rom. It was so simple and worked BTW. Later I used the hardspl so that I could do apps to sd. I have had the phone for 7 months and have used custom roms since I’ve gotten it.

Following this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=535232 I tried to partition my 8g sandisk micro sd card. Now I probably destroyed my sd card (Nothing to big). And I am stuck at the g1 screen (pretty big). When ever I try to flash a different rom with a different or even the same rom I get an error acout the sd card “E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:"

With around 8 hours of digging around on forums I have decided that I might have to get a replacement unless someone could help me revert with access that I have to the recovery to allow my sd cards to be recognized.

Note: I didn’t install the Cyanogen ROM - Download v4.0.2 or Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 - Download as I had a better one. Hince my problem, and did use the apps2sd.apk. Things didn’t go wrong until I typed in “upgrade_fs” . After doing so my phone would not boot up after I restarted it.

Something tells me that I changed something in the phone to allow apps to sd partition 2 and I need to be changed back to the default, as I can’t even flash another rom to fix this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated .

willl your phone boot when you remove the sdcard
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnewell05:
My phone will not boot after removing the sd card.:mad:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnewell05:
One thing that I forgot to mention above is. While using the phone after my uncessful attemp to partition my sdcard, the top notification bar was displaying "The SD card is blank or using an unsupported file system." After messing with it a bit i decided to reboot but it froze. Being impatient I pulled the battery from the back of the phone.

Looks as if files are missing from the Cyanogen 4.0.4 rom. As when I type “mount sdcard” is displays “mount: mouting /dev/block/mmcblkop1 on /sdcard failed: No such file or directory” Sounds like I am missing mmcblkop1 from my phone now? Apps2sd.apk doesn’t change this file does it? I'm also wondering if you change a file to look somewhere else for the partition part of the sd card? And if so how would you tell it to look for the default? :confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnewell05:
Tried this "flash_image recovery /sdcard/update-cm-4.0.4-signed.zip" and it displayed this "usage: flash_image [-d] partition file.img" does this delete the partition of the sd card or what is this referring to?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AR212:
I think you 'bricked' your sd card.

Try format it with SD Formatter.

Worked for me.

Because you did use App2SD, you have erased app data, so setting up your G1 from scratch is your best option.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
Ok first of all using that guide to install apps2sd on cyanogen's rom is what messed up your phone. Cyanogen has clear warnings about this in his thread. Now that the damage is done lets fix it. Can you boot into recovery by holding home and pressing power? Is there an option to flash any zip file?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
After rereading your post i see that you don't have recovery 1.4.

You need to do step 4 HERE when you're done do step 5 to install cm-recovery-1.4
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnewell05:
After trying different things with the console as I posted above the phone allowed me to install the Cyanogen 4.0.4 from the 2gb sd card. For some reason the phone would not allow me to do this before. As it wouldn't recognize the sd card, or that it had 1 for that matter. What would cause this problem? Maybe a faulty sd card? But I swapped to the 2 gb sd card that came with the phone and tried this numerous times before. Glitch? Why work now? I'm so lost.

I'm so glad that this worked this time though..... another save for this g1. Its taken a licking and it keeps ticking. I have dropped it 14 feet from the top of a railcar. I have crippled it 3 times now as it wouldn't allow me to get past the g1 screen. A simple flash from the sd card allowed me fix that problem. I have also dropped it in water. It was submerged for around 6 seconds in a leather carrying case that clips on your belt. Fast thinking allowed me to remove it from the water, pull the back off, and pull out the battery. I allowed it to dry in the car for around 4 hours and then put it in a bag full of those "do not eat" packets that come in most shoes for 24 hrs. Thanks to Walmart for the donation. :-) Probably the best phone that I have ever gotten.

Well looking over the history of the phone I understand now why it may have done this to me. However it shows that by being persistent you can figure out most things. I appreciate all who have made these guides that make my g1 ownership so much fun.

Now go to get that apps2sd working. Another method probably.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnewell05:
I did have recovery 1.4 installed at the time the g1 quit working. I never downgraded and was able to access the recovery the entire time. But I kept getting the error “E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:"

I did change the sd card at this point but had the same results.

As you may have noticed i didn't read Cyanogen thread discussing this.

I found the guide for apps 2 sd here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=535232 and read through it. Sounded easy enough and well tried. With failure of course.

I was under the inpression that apps2sd already is included in cyanogen 4.0.4 all i needed is to partition my sd card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
Unfortunately that guide is still a sticky and someone uses it at least once a week and we end up with your problem every week. ivanmmj added a warning to the guide a few mins ago. I'm glad you are working now. You are correct about apps2sd being included in cyanogen roms. In post 3 HERE I've made a script that will partition your sdcard for you.

Normally 8125 can be charged with using the data-cables of BlackBerry, Nokia etc.

If the charging light doesn't indicate, you better check the batteries 1st with some other device,cause some times the error will be with the USB port of the 8125.
