Yeah tmo killed the sidekick plan for other phones a couple of months back. Some people think they're doing it using the IMEI numbers and checking which handset model they belong to. Don't think anyone's come up with a solution yet.

Is there a way to delete all past appointments in the Calendar without having to manually delete each one, one at a time?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] e_dogg:
I don't think that there is built-in functionality for this short of a hard reset to delete all of your data. If you're using Activesync to connect to a computer or Exchange server, you can select how far in the past to synch.

All programs > Activesync > Options > select "Calendar" > settings

The options are:

All

2 weeks

1 month

3 months

6 months
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lorin.bute:
Search for Pocket Outlook Eraser.

Its free and you can choose to delete tasks, appointments and contacts.

Once you chose what to delete it will erase every record of that type.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davidgee:
Yes, just tried it thanks. It erases ALL appointments. I have literally hundreds of appointments on the device and need to delete those which have passed.

i.e. I only want to erase OLD appointments. I can't be the only businessman using a TP2 that wants to clear out old appointments surely. This is fundamental. Does anyone know how to delete appointments selectively?

Many thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kuzibri:
The easiest way to do that is through ActiveSync. Just set up ActiveSync to sync all your future appointments untill max 2 weeks ago. So the only old appointments you will have are those of these 2 weeks. These can either be deleted easily manually or by resyncing with ActiveSync. Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lorin.bute:
Yes, if you select only the upcoming 2 weeks events every time you sync you only get the appointments in the 2 week span, and the old ones are deleted.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TrekkerJmm:
I use SK Tools and there is an option in the "Long List View" to delete old appts...Tj
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davidgee:
Thanks for your feedback. The Active Sync alternative seems a bit convoluted and as I'm on the road a lot with no access to a PC for some time, I would rather be able to delete appointments solely on the device. I will check SK tools. It seems strange not to have such an essential facility available directly in Window Mobile though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] badgebeager:
Hi,

I have a HTC Tytn II phone I got 2 years ago. My phone which has never missed a beat has now suddenly died or it seems that way. I would be quite happy to keep this phone for another 2 years as it does everything I need. I hope I dont have to buy another phone now and I hope it is just the battery that has ceased up etc?

I have tried plugging it in to battery charger but it just displays a solid red light and it won't start up. It has acted a bit strange over last few days when charging etc. I tried using the reset button and taking the battery and sim card out and cleaning them a little but it still won't work (not even start up).

What do you think it could be? Is it common for batteries to only last 2 years and is this the most likely cause of the problem?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rodrix:
Search for red light of death
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
optimistically, the battery probably just needs replacing...if you can afford a new one, give it a shot. it might just save you the headache of having to deal with the almost magical/voodoo methods of trying to revive the phone from the dreaded "red light of death", if the battery indeed does need replacing.

if you feel the battery is no way at fault, then a search for the "red light of death" and lots and lots of reading and poking around is probably your fate! good luck! :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] badgebeager:
it was just the battery whoohoo, I was very worried there after I read about the Red Light of Death isssue :eek: :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] badgebeager:
Spoke to soon,... Once my new battery reached only one bar left I decided to plug it into my USB wall charger. After a a couple of hours I thought it was strange the light was orange/red. I then tried to start the phone and it woudn't. So I plugged it into my USB chord from computer and it still won't charge.

So I guess it is the USB connection on the phone that is broken and I would need to buy a battery charger (not a USB one)?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] badgebeager:
I'm trying to find the right charger to buy that I can plug the battery into (not the one where you have to plug the phone into). As it is the phone USB socket that seems to be the problem but if I could get hold of a charger that will charge the battery without needing the phone to support it then I should be ok.

edit, ok I think I found what I need: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=200402990919&view=all&tid=413826764010

I have friends who have several mobile numbers but I have to enter them under "pager", "work" or "company" as there seems to be no way of changing these definitions in Contacts. Is there a way round this?

Cant flash it

Just giving you an update, I have the CDMA Touch Pro from sprint. I have found this thread in the CDMA portion of the forum but for some reason I cannot flash to your ROM. I WANT TO!!! but I just cant :(

I am unsure what the issue is, there are a few others that I have not been able to flash to but they are few and far between. Just FYI incase others are having thesame issue or if this is just a once in a blue mood glitch.
[Touch Pro CDMA] echomatics:

how much usable RAM is available with this ROM? if its any less than what I got with the 2.01ROM im not flashing it.
[Touch Pro CDMA] sbl:
Great ROM!

Any chance of getting a 3 row start menu? I've dug around in the cpr files and it looks like everyone uses different values...

Also, is it just me, or is WiFi sharing not in here?

Thanks,

[Touch Pro CDMA] echomatics:
Attached a 3 row cab for you. Just install and re-start and you should be fine.

You are correct no WiFi sharing on this build. I will include it in the future.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Xorith:
Before I do anything...

I have a Verizon HTC Touch Pro (XV 6850). It is a company phone, however so long as we don't break it and it still works they really don't seem to care what we do to it.

The problem I'm having is that the stock ROM is so cumbersome and laggy. We run software for call tracking, and often times it will lock up. When a call comes in, the phone seems to freeze and it takes forever to display the contact linked to the number that's incoming. There's more, but that's the major pain of it.

I hear switching to a cooked ROM might help fix some of my headaches, however I'm really not in the mood to explain to my work why I bricked their $800 retail phone! I'm not a complete newbie when it comes to flashing phones, however I am when it comes to flashing CDMA phones.

So, all I'm wondering is with the information provided, will your ROM work out of the box? Has it been tested with Verizon? Are there any changes that may make work life intolerable, for example has Outlook been replaced with something else?

Thanks for your time!
[Touch Pro CDMA] sbl:

Is there a way to remove the locked icons on the TP2 on the Start menu with all your apps on it? The icons I want to remove are locked (Home People Contacts Calendar)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] judicious:
go to windows/start menu/programs and remove them..

i'm guessing it's the icons that start up the programs you want to remove right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djkurious:
No, when you are on the home screen and you press the windows icon, all your apps will show and the their are 4 locked apps at the top. I want to remove those.

[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
So I thought I'd let everyone know that I conducted an email blitz just now on as many RAM manufacturers as I could find. These are the ones I was able to contact:

Transcend

Corsair Memory

Crucial Technology

EDGE Tech Corp

GEIL

G.Skill

Hynix

Kingston Technologies

Micron Technology (you have to register with their website to contact them, so I decided not to, but I could have)

PNY

OCZ Technology

Here is what I wrote all of them:

To whom it may concern,

I do not require assistance. I am writing to make a suggestion to <Company> as a manufacturer of RAM for computers. My suggestion is simple: <Company> should begin manufacturing PC2-4200, 214-pin, MicroDIMM RAM for laptops at capacities higher than 1GB. Currently there is no manufacturer that is doing so and you are all missing out on a ripe market.

Here is a list of laptops currently in need of more RAM:

ASUS

M5A

M5Ae

M5200A (M5A / M52A)

M5600A (M5A / M56A)

M52730D

M52740

S5200A

Z33

Z33Ae

HTC

Shift X9500

LG Electronics

A1 Express Dual Notebook (DDR2-533MHz)

C1 Express Dual

I know with certainty that there are a few thousand eager buyers within the HTC Shift community. I am one of them. I am emailing this same information to as many RAM manufacturers as possible in hopes that one of the manufacturers moves forward with my suggestion, so that we can all benefit.

Respectfully,

Damian Niolet

CEO of NIOCO Inc

Here is the reply I received back from Edge Tech Corp minutes afterward:

Damian,

Thanks for the suggestion. If and when EDGE decides to move forward with 214pin tooling, you’ll be the first to know.

Warm Regards,

Win Cramer

VP of Purchasing and Product Development

EDGE Tech Corp

So, who knows maybe something will come of it.

General RAM info (External site)

I've found RAM for the Shift made by three different companies:

Infineon (External site)

Transcend (External site)

Swissbit (External site)

Send you email to Infineon and Swissbit too. As they have already made our type of RAM, maybe they still have the machinery to do it, so it should be easy for them to make a 2gb stick
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] TheScPCrew:
I'm getting my Tilt 2 in the mail in a few days. Was wondering if anyone could recommend a good case that fits the Tilt 2. I've looked at some Touch Pro 2 cases, but I've heard the size, shape, and cutouts of the Tilt 2 are a bit different. I want a case that's functional and protects the phone, not just something I can pull it in and out of, but something that is custom fit to the functionality of the phone. I know it's still kind of early, but does any company's have a case yet for the Tilt 2?

I really want something like this, but have no idea where to find it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmvd2Jy9Nes

I like that the plastic on that case covers and protects the keyboard. Has anyone seen a case like this available anywhere?

Also...looking for a screen/full body protector that fits or is made for the Tilt 2. My screen is really greasy and oily right now. Hate it. I've heard Brando, Zaggs Invisible Shield, thrown out there, but there seems to be a lot of talk about BoxWave Clear or Anti-Glare and BodyGuardz. I've never applied or used a screen protector before, but want to protect my Tilt 2 the best way possible. That's finger print resistant for the most part and if necessary can be removed fairly easy later. Price isn't an issue. Also what's the best way to clean a phone before applying a screen protector. Microfiber Cloth and some kind of electric solution I'm assuming. Can someone point me in the right direction? THANKS!

I just installed the bodyguardz on my tp2 from t-mobile...

This is the first time i used a full body case and it went on like frosting on a cake.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bitslizer:
Boxwave AG is very nice, finger print resistant and easy to clean, easily removeable

you only lose a tiny amount of brightness/clarity under perfect condition, but that's easily offset by the readability in less than ideal condition. White background do show some speckaling though (like all matte type AG product)

Please help me before i go crazy on this!

I bought a new handsfree (Plantronics Voyager 520) hoping it was something wrong with my old one.

So my problem is that when I use my handsfree I hear alot of noises and sometimes I can´t even hear the other part because of that. But it seems to be only me that hear this, not the one I talk to.

I tried changing the Linespeed value in registry, but that didn´t help.

Maybe if I flash a new radio??

I have searched, but havn´t found any help. Dont know if this is a known problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djstoffe:

It seems to be something with the reception. All i hear is alot of cracking noise.

I have also tried with my Jabra BT3030 and the sound is good. But not when im using any of my headsets.

I use a Jabra Dogtag with the touch pro2, i have clear sound in music and phone works also good.

Even the play, next and prev keys work perfect.

Try going to the bluetooth menu and activate stereo sound instead of headset (Maybe :)

Or turn off secure connection.

This might not help, but who knows
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djstoffe:
By Dogtag, you mean BT3030?? I have one of those also and it´s working for me. But when i connect to one of my hedsets it´s very bad sound.

I have an old SE and a new Plantronics, but same issue with both. But only when i connect those to my TP2. Both those are mono-headset you put on your ear.

Hi...

installed skyfire on stock 6.5 rom, just to access tvcatchup.com, when I use the volume rocker, skyfire minimises (doesn't crash, still running in background) and you have to go task manager to reopen it... any clues?

Pauly
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
I don't know why. Why not try my volume control registry mod which brings up the small volume strip on the left of the screen. It's easier to use and gives finer control using the volume keys. And it might not minimise skyfire!
