I have to admit to being somewhat of a newb, and could not quite find the perfect threat to ask this on, but this one seems suitable.

Is there ANY phone in existence right now or being made available in the next 6 months, even if it requires a little hacking, so long as you don't have to be Albert Einstein, that can do the following:

- access the fastest speeds on any network in the U.S. or overseas, i.e. unlocked CDMA/GSM, all bands, 3G or better, etc

- easily force wifi from home or any hotspot

- GPS that is freely accessible from third party apps for driving, golf, hiking, geocaching, etc.

- Windows Mobile touchscreen....note the only reason this is a requirement is because of an app that I use which is ONLY available on WM right now....

- at least a full day's average to above average usage on the battery

and preferably the following:

- WVGA or better screen, preferably with hardware video accelerator like the Intel 2700G on the old dell axim x51v

- tether to laptop as modem

- easy SDHD or SDXC storage upgrade

- high quality stereo microphone

- high quality sound output for flacs/mp3's...preferably with both headphone out and line out

- line in would be nice for hooking up a small external mic at a concert

- video out also a bonus... ability to adapt to vga out a bigger bonus still for showing slideshows over a projector with PowerPoint...

The first group of features are requirements for me, and I'd like to hold off on buying a new phone until I can get all that. The second group of features would cover a lot of other bases on uses that I'm interested so I wouldn't need to carry around a bunch of other devices at times, or could even take advantage of certain situations spontaneously.

Very good question & you've come to the right place to ask it. I ask you to be patient while the senior members put a reasonable answer for you. To add, this Post is one that many of us are waiting for the HD2. I hope this gives you reason to be patient, it's almost here, for we are waiting too. (HD2)
[General Questions and Answers] facesnorth:
Thanks, I'd love to hear some comments, even if they only address a portion of my inquiry. For example, can we narrow down what phones are there out there or available in the next 6 months that can be made to work with any of the U.S. and foreign networks, and achieve 3g speeds on all of them? Are any current phones equipped for upcoming 4g speeds on any network? Or will we have to wait for phones to come out to work with the 700mhz spectrum?

From what I've been reading on this thread, it seems there's a lot of others looking for the same thing as me. There isn't really an area or a thread anywhere on the forum from what I could tell that is a perfect place to ask a question like this. So I chose the thread relating to the phone that as far as I can tell is the best fit, but not really... Any comments on what I'm looking for a few posts above?

Guys i'm looking for clean wwe rom with wm 6.5 and manilla 3d 2.5 .I'm looking for some few day already and I couldn't find one. Please recomend me one . tnks in advance :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] meditor:
me too, :).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pljwebb:
I am also looking for a ROM that isn't loaded with unwanted applications. I have tried four so far and each one has an app that I can't update or remove. I just want to be able to pick what I want and just what I want. So far my searches have come up with nothing, are there any roms either out there or in development that are just the OS and nothing else?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AnnihilatorSC:
I agree. What I seek is a straight and clean stable build of 6.5 with no frills or HTC customizations.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beerfly:
so , i see i'm the only one who wants to use clean roms. Is there somebody who can cook already cooked rom but without odd programs. Just the programs which are included in original HTC roms and may some with help the devices to work proper with new manila 2.5. :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] amno1970:
6.5

Hello,

As far as I can see, there are some modern, clean 6.5 builds without HTC customizations, see the forums.

What we are looking for here is a 6.5 build with Manila 2.5 and its associated HTC apps just if It was a recently bought new terminal.

If the HTC pictures seen those days are real, I think they have RTMed with 6.5 builds and not with 6.5.1 buils (see start at the top and thick bottom bar). I think this is more convenient for Manila...

Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beerfly:
I think if its possible to make something like categories witch separates different rom types. For example clean, with one kind of nesasary programs and another kind witch are custom made like where are added different themes and additional programs. May be somebody can add a new post where they are discribed and add links to the post where the roms are added. So , if somebody wonders witch one to choose will have them in one place and will not be forced to search several pages. :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Many clean ROMs have "CLEAN" in their thread name. So... does it ring any bells? If you search the "Diamond ROM developement" for, um, lets say the phrase "CLEAN 6.5", and check the "search only in title" (or sth like that), it should be enough to find clean 6.5 roms.

As for the manila 2.5, as i know, it's still in developement (which you should know, if you bothered to dedicate 30 minutes to reading the only two threads including "manila 2.5" in their title), and there are ONLY TWO (2) roms with manila 2.5. One is 6.1(Sun.Y) and the other is 6.5(Sun.X).

Oh...and yes..there is a search function on this forum :) Did i point that out already?

EDIT: Oh...and there is Eugenia rom, which actualy uses work from the Sun project...as far as i know. Correct me if needed..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beerfly:
I'm sure not only me and the others used search and read the forum for nice rom . But the most roms even clean ones have program witch are not useful for some of us and use additional memory. Otherwise I totally agree with you - there is still i think a lot of time until we see proper manilla 2.5 working on our diamonds. cheers :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Well. My advice on searching roms is: Look only in the first two or three pages, beacuse those roms are actively updated. When it says [FINAL] in the rom topic title, that's even better. If you are looking for a stable and fast rom, try to avoid BETA releases (altough, some work pretty well). As for ram consumption... 6.1 roms are (from my experience) more ram friendly than 6.5 rom. BUT a 6.5 rom with titanium enabled is more ram efficient than a 6.1 rom with Manila 2.1. Also, big ram consumera are non-WM default dialers. They can take up to 10-12mb of RAM. You can disable them, and enable the default WM dialer (search the threads...it can be done via CAB or AdvancedConfig), but that brings problems while using manila 2.1 (and 2.5 i think). Don't worry too much about "unuseful" preinstalled software on [CLEAN] roms, beacuse well they can take up some space on your phone memory, but usualy don't eat RAM, unless you run them.

I actually don't use CLEAN roms, beacuse i find some medium loaded roms more usefull (see my signature). With my rom i have no problem running IGO8 or listening to mp3(s2p) while surfing the net with opera. And that is while i get around 74% used RAM after a day of usage (62-65% on clean boot). RAM is meant to be used, and don't get frightened if it sometimes jumps up to 80% (a friend of mine has 11mb of free ram on an Ipgone 3g, and that thing still flies...beacuse it actuall uses ram (efficiently!!)).

My 2 cents. I hope it helps you find the right rom.

EDIT: oh, and CleanRam is a pretty useful app... (on level 2 or 3)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beerfly:
thanks a lot for this full answer mate :) I hope it will be useful not only for me, but for everyone who needs help about looking for new rom.

can give me the bearing, relative strength, and ID for any cell towers in range?

I've been with AT&T for 12 years in the same location, with few complaints. However, in the last 30 days my reception (and everyone in my house) has been crap. I always used to get 3-4 bars on the E network. Now I waver back and forth between one very weak G bar and 2-3 E bars. I get lots of dropped calls, failed dialing, missed messages, etc.

Since I live in a quite rural area, I'd like to have some leverage when I talk to AT&T about this problem. I'd like to be able to track what signals I'm getting from which towers. Have they added towers? Did I wind up i n a dead zone? Am I in an area where different towers are competing for my signal? Etc.

Mind you, I'm not trying to triangulate *MY* position. I want to find the bearing, relative strength, and any available ID information for nearby cell towers.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] markland_gta:

Because these guys in the ROM forum are the smartest people I know about this phone. Maybe I bent the rules a little...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] themrpark:
Since you've been using Edge network usually, just turn the 3G off on your raphael... This may help lock on to the older tower that you're used to. Perhaps they built a new tower a little farther off that is giving you a weak 3G signal.

i don't know how you would do that for your other phones since I don't know what they are.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cepet:
So i thought i'd start with cooked roms since the internal memory is kinda low.

So i started by upgrading the current stock rom 2.73(sigh) and everything works sweet,

next i partition the memory card (4gb) like said in this guide Partition Guide

All good so far!

Next step was to ofc flash the recovery part with flashrec since i have hboot and all,

and that worked well while going after the guide Flashrec guide for noobs like me

boots wonderfully into Cyanogens recovery mode.

Meanwhile i prep the memory card with MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.4

and make sure the phone is rooted by this guide root guide. after i reboot to recovery. made a backup first!(thank god for that option), and after that installed the custom rom.

So far so good eh ?

Once in the phone i started appstosd just to see if it works at all

(remind you that i can login by adb shell with su so should work ?)

and all i get is "your memcard is not partitioned lets do that" well okey then,

I drag the meter so it gets 500mb for ext2, press apply and then new screen comes with a reboot button,

I press it and nothing at all happens.(also pressed the "always allow")

Well maybe it's auto since it should be with MoDaCo lastest rom. but nope nothing goes to the sdcard.

tried doing latest stock rom with root instead of custom rom, and still appstosd gives me the same thing,

refuses to boot. even tried to reinstall the custom rom 3 times, where one of those just rebooted all the time.

Any idea what's going on here ? should be more out there with the same problem ?

:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shluggity:
Yup, you didn't read the release notes for the MoDaCo ROM carefully enough.... Apps2SD works automatically. So long as your card has a second ext2/3 partition it will be recognised and your apps moved to it. No user interaction is required. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naTTan:
On another note, try using Amon Ra recoery image. It's the latest.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heppieboeddah:
Maybe the problem is with the ext2 partition. Modaco's works with ext3. If you have a ext2 instead of a ext3 you shouldt upgrade the partition. You can do that from the recovery-image from AMON_Ra
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cepet:
thanks a lot for the tips about amon_ra and all! worked flawlessly , still had to go by flashrec tho.

But what still bothers me is appstosd, both first and second release.

Fully confirmed that root is working both through the phone and adb shell, but still appstosd won't work manually,

don't want the monaco rom tbh, wanna go with stock rom.

Doesn't bother me a bit that i have to do it manually everytime(appstosd that is).

So i'm rooted and appstosd installed, but still appstosd1 tells me that my card is wrongly formatted(did it in amon_ra) then i wiped it clean in amon_ra and tried appstosd2 so it can partition it for me, after i press apply i get the "reboot" button that doesn't work.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance!

Since WM 6.5 has not and will not be released for the Kaiser, I am assuming that you are trying to flash a custom 6.5 rom, and have followed all the steps described here:

Newbie flashing here. Followed everything and flashed my first rom yesterday.

Flashed: RUU_Kaiser_HyperDragon_IV_Mega_6.5_WWE_20091006_11-54PM

After trying that one, I then i flashed to another rom.

Flashed: KAISER_WM6.5__3_34_721_V31__B23041_09032009 (not sure which thread i got it from)

But when the phone started up it showed the stupid splash screen from the hyperdragon rom but booted into the new rom (slight problem)

Then i wanted to try another rom this morning and read to flash back to htc rom first. So i just did and i am stil looking at the last rom i flashed. I have hard reset a couple times here and there, and after installing the htc official rom (WTF problem)

Im gonna try loading this next rom now, but i have a feeling i wont see it when it boots, ugh
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] denco7:
Not all roms come with splash screens. When you flash a rom that does not come with it's own splash, the splash from the previous rom is retained.

Hard reset, flash the stock ( oem ) rom, the when it says tap here to set up , hard reset again. If you fallowed the right flashing steps ( which you have previously, obviously ) the stock rom should boot up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] carhigh:
Ah, indeed. Thank you for the response. Flashed back to stock rom and all is well. Not so sure i like this flashing stuff.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] denco7:
Once you hardspl your phone, it is kind of hard to brick it. A stock flash usually solves everything. Flashing is addictive, it brings out the " gotta have the latest and greatest " in you.

But even after flashing over a hundred times, I still hold my breath everytime I flash. I already bricked one phone way back in the early days of Kaiser flashing when the phones first came out.
[Wing, P4350 General] ccattie:
Yesterday for no particular reason at all (haven't made a change to my phone in months) my phone now is locked by the default built in lock (the unlock + press the screen or * one). I normally use S2U2 but its kinda weird to slide unlock it then have to unlock it again. I'm kind of frustrated. In trying to fix it this morning I decided to upgrade my S2U2 since it was old. So I uninstalled the old one and installed the latest one. It didn't change anything. Does anybody know why this may be happening? It is only happening when I hit the power button, not on normal timeout lockouts. I am assuming there is some kind of setting in the registry or somewhere I can change but I haven't seen anything. I've played with the options under settings --> system and all to no avail. Anybody got any tips?

I had an issue with TomTom and had to do a factory reset on the device. I just thought I'd post the instructions for those who might need to perform this actions.

With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see a message on the screen. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset. Once the restore screen appears press Volume Up to restore the device to its factory settings or any other button to cancel. Once complete press Volume Up to reboot.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] PRBajista:
You could also go into the memory settings and tap on the "clear storage" tab then make sure the top option says "factory default" then type 1234 on the bottom, then tap ok, and it will do the exact same thing. This obviously will work only if your tp2 is responsive and not frozen.:D

I had an issue where my phone WOULD NOT (attempted MANY times) hard reset. (I had installed the "Slide2ShutdownPowerKeySetup_v1.1" and I suspect this may have been the issue -- although I certainly do not have proof of that.)

Here is the HARD RESET procedure that finally worked:

"Push and hold 'send' and 'end' key. Using your teeth, push and hold the 'reset' button with the stylus. Finally, push the power button. (all three need to be pressed down when you hit the power). The tri-color screen flashes, then a white screen gives the standard warning of the hard reset."

I can't seem to figure out why sometimes I get a G connection vs a 3G connection based on the radio icon in the notification bar. Does anyone know what the difference is? G seems to be much slower then 3G.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
G stands for GPRS which is a 2G connection and doesn't use the 1700MHz spectrum like 3G (HSPA) does. There are several reasons why your phone would switch between GPRS and 3G. Signal strength and 3G coverage area is limited in the US for TMO is the most common. Certain types of electronic equipment can interfere with 3G as well.
