[Touch Pro, Fuze General] R.Oryan:
For some time now, I've been having a problem with my Touch Pro. Some time ago, (about a 2 months or so) I have been recieving harassing texts and from "Unknown Sender" or "1234". Where the texts come from isnt so much the issue, the issue is that whomever is sending the texts can see any text messages I send; my call log; my emails and any picture mail in my phone. I've also been told that voicemails have been forwarded to other people even before I hear them. Im sure its like a vendictive ex girlfriend or a friend of theres of something...but I cant figure out how to stop it.

I havent called Sprint, I have master reset my phone and restored my backed up data, and then it started up again. I havent left my phone around anyone, or taken it to a sprint store ever for repairs or anything...so...I just cant figure it out.

If anyone has any suggestions of where this might be coming from or how to stop it, I would greatly appreciate it. Im thinking of getting a new phone or switching carriers...

Thanks.

Possibly someone has cloned your SIM-card.

SIM card cloning is by the way not very easy, but still possible.

When so, the only way around it, is to have the current one blocked and buy a new one.

may be your ex or somebody installed phone creeper on your phone!

try to flash your ROM... and dont restore your data for a few days and see if the same things happen

hope this will help
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
Yeah, it sounds an awful lot like someone slapped you with creeper. You can hard reset, but not restore, and see if the problems go away. Or check the \windows\startup folder, and see if the creeper startup link is there (not sure what it's called-that thread is too long, lol). Or, use sk tools to see what runs at startup, and disable creeper or whatever it's called on the the device.

Of course, if you figure out that it is creeper, and you know who did it, you may want to see if you can have a little fun at their expense before disabling it. That's definitely the way that I would go.

Never mind. I semi-bricked it, but used my micro sd adapter and plugged it into the computer then put the eViL.HeRo ROM 3.0 with A2SD and wiped my device again, and it ended up working. *wipes sweat from forehead*

P.S: Mod(s), can you delete this topic, please? Thank you.

Has anyone got a link to a cab of the latest HTC camera app (VGA)?

For some reason the one in the ROM i'm using just freezes when you try to take a picture, and doesn't save it.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fards:
Have you tried changing the internal settings at all inside the camera app?

It could be you have a camera pkg from a device with a higher MP count than the hardware inside your device..

That's the common problem from what you've described. So try at a lower resolution.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] unknownserv:
Found a .cab by searching on here, was 6.20 I think. Works fine now :)

Hi there,

i recently flashed this Rom: /ROM\WM6.5|23017&23060|Benko's 4.9ROM's|NEW| Full, Prime&Clean[Manila2.1 R1.5/16.10]

and everything was working fine. Then i installed some program (SPB Diary). And since then my Diamond keeps on freezing up upon startup. It shows the Notifications Windows (Network provider, Battery status, "No new notifications" and the "close" button at the bottom).

But then he wont react to anything. He doesnt establish a connection to my computer, so i cant flash a new rom on my device either.

Im totally lost, can someone help me?

Che
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mancsoulja:
you will have to hard reset, when u switch ur diamond on, hold volume down, the big round button and hit the red reset button under the stylus, do this while windows is booting b4 it freezes..... i had a simlar problem with spb mobile shell ageees ago lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] che27:
I tried then, then i see the 3 colored screen, then it says "No Image File" on a grey screen, then it says "trigger usb host" and "retry entry usb" (does the a few times), then it goes back to the 3 colored screen after a while of waiting, and it says "USB" in the center.

But thats it, problem still there :(

Any idea?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mancsoulja:
no if that appears your holding the back button not the round centre button :mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] che27:
Thank you so much for your help, i though hard reset was hard reset either way, didnt know that there was a difference between which of the buttons (back, hang up, center) to press.

My Diamond is up an running again, Thanks for the help!

BTW: What exactly are the different modes of hard resetting for? Is there a manual somewhere?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mancsoulja:
The method you described is for flashing a rom from your internal storage... Next time you download a rom, take the .nbh file and change its name to DIAMIMG.nbh, Then copy it to the root of the internal storage, if you then hold vol down, the back button and press the red reset button, you can flash the rom without using a ruu, this way is also alot faster then the old method :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron79:
i just got back from the att store in Lexington ky off richmond rd and the rudest jerk would not sell me the tilt 2 unless i got a data plan, even if i paid full price! What the heck! I hate freakin att, it took all I had not to pop this blond haired dude just for how rude he was to me and my wife. I told him I'll just get it off ebay and he said they would detect it and automatically add data plan.

My wife is eligible for early upgrade and she has an iphone w/ data plan

Shouldn't I be able to get her to get the tilt 2. They will de-activate her iphone, then when she gets home put my old sim in tilt 2 and have her re-activate her phone. Is this possible or no. Please help

I don't want to pay for a stupid 30 a month data plan data plan, i only want the wifi use.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
ATT is much more proactive about checking IMEI's now than they used to be. As a result, upon placing your sim in the Tilt 2, you will very likely receive a text message informing you that if you do not add a smartphone data plan to your phone, one will be added for you.

One possible, and I stress POSSIBLE, way around this is to use an unlocked TP2 from another carrier, or the int'l unbranded version. It won't have 3G, but it may not get flagged as a smartphone because most carriers only have their own phones in the IMEI database that they use to check for this sort of thing. So while they would detect the Tilt2 and charge you for a monthly data plan, they might not detect an unlocked branded version from VZW or Tmobile or the unbranded international version as a smartphone.

I'm sorry the dude was rude, and I'm not super fond of ATT (or other carriers for that matter) either, but based on my experience and that of some other users I know, I believe his information is accurate. We used to be able to get away with a lot more than we can now.

Best way to go without paying for data these days is prepaid (though prepaid plans like VZW's which include for example, unlimited data, don't allow smartphones for fear of abuse. I haven't heard of ATT's prepaid rejecting smartphones because their prepaid data packages are per mb--no danger of abuse).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 3GPocketPC4Me:
That sounds good in theory, and would work out pretty well for OP since he isn't concerned about 3G capabilities.

When you log into your AT&T wireless account, AT&T attempts to detect your phone and displays it on screen for you. When I was using unlocked phones on their network (i900 Omnia for a year and most recently for 3 days, T-MO's Touch Pro 2), it never detected/displayed my phone.

I just logged into my account now to check if it detected my new AT&T branded Tilt 2, and indeed it did.

Not to spam OP, but if you're interested in a T-Mo Touch Pro 2, I have one listed in the Marketplace. Good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron79:
Thanks for your sympathy

Thanks for your sim-pathy (sympathy), It is good to know I'm not the only one angry about this.

It would sure be nice to have a 3.5 jack with an unlocked verizon or sprint version, but I'm just not sure how not having 3g band would effect my signal. Years ago I remember having sprint service and it was horrible where I live.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
You are wondering how it would affect your carrier edge data signal? I thought you only wanted to use wifi?

If you are worried about how it would affect your regular GSM phone signal, I can't imagine that would be problem. I believe the GSM chip is the same in all versions, and would expect similar performance from all TP2s that have it.

To date, I haven't yet heard of an unlocked Sprint version working on US GSM carriers (possibly due to some software protections they added in). Unlocked VZWs have been proven to work on ATT. If you want the 3.5mm jack, maybe VZW or Telus would be your best bet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron79:
thanks for the tip

I did not know unlocked sprint versions would not work on US gsm, thanks for the tip. I'm going to start searching the threads for people who have got the unlocked Verizon's to work before I buy.

I was not for sure if the 3g just carried data, thanks for clearing that up. If that is all it adds I won't miss it because, "i really only use wifi".

or maybe just hold out for the hd2.....don't know if I can stand using my backup Motorola phone much longer *my htc trinity drowned :( ......
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fjmora992000:
There is an alternative

You may try to purchase a phone from T-mobile and they won't limit you to having a data plan especially if you pay full price. I've seen many do it, and many succeed. Good Luck
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] omaralt:
lol, get the phone with the data plan. go home, call at&t and tell them you've changed your mind and dont want the data plan. have your old phone's imei around and tell them your going to use your old phone. done. i've done it multiple times. no use arguing with those idiots at the store; most of us here know more about phones than they do

Lots of us have, but you should note that not all the old tricks work anymore. IMEI checking occurs much more often now, not just when you call in.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Neutron1998:
Are you looking to just not have a data plan period for her phone? The Smartphone/PDA data and iPhone data are the same price.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] johnjjschmidt:
I don't understand how he was being rude at all. If he can't sell it to you without those conditions then it certainly isn't his fault. I work at RadioShack and the system we use will not allow us to sell smartphones without adding data either. Not sure how this applies to phones bought outright but all sellers do things a little different. Don't be upset at the associate, be upset at att and the rest of the carriers who also require this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brknseals:
Actually, according to the rep I had, it seems more along the lines of the phones official launch being today that is the issue from the store side. Since its so new they're not, at least the regular associate isn't, allowed to sell the phone sans contract.

Needless to say my shackles are back on :(

Considering the amount that shipped out to some stores if his store was any indicator it wouldn't surprise me. How do you only send 3, with one to be set for display purposes?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron79:
RE: att rep

I never blamed this guy for the rules this att rep he had to follow, that is not what ticked me off. This had nothing to do with what ticked me off

From the second I walked into this store he was the most sarcastic punk ever, and took it personal that I was trying to get this great htc phone without a data plan. He treated me like I was trying to steal it. I was very polite and I doubt he even knew that I was the least bit upset.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gtdRR:
Just got back from an At&t store myself. Rep said the same thing and was also a jerk. I couldn't purchase the phone by itself. I'm not due for an upgrade yet so I was trying to buy the phone full price.

The rep was asking me why I wanted the phone. He said its horrible, it useless, he had a Fuze and gave it away because of how bad it was. He uses a BB and iPhone (BIG SURPRISE). He said I was probably the only person asking for the phone the whole day and thats why they didn't have a display model, because no one wants this phone. He said "Why do you want a windows phone, its windows!!!! Haha, c'mon!"

I was screaming inside. If the jackass had any technology knowledge he would understand why I wanted the phone. The possibilities are endless. I'm running TomTom, Wifi access point, internet sharing, mp3 trimmer, push e-mail, Skyfire, DirecTV NFL Superfan Streaming, registry edits, etc. I know a BB and iPhone can also do some of these things but they CAN'T DO ALL.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] htcfan78:
Most of the people in the stores are just typical sales people. They have bad attitudes, and think they know everything because of their "training". Just remember that they are trying to make their commission off of you. Every time I call customer service I make a point to complain about the sales people in the stores. Once, I went in to a store and asked for a new SIM card, and the jerk didn't want to give me one because I was not buying something. I asked for a manager, and she was a b***h about it too and told me that the SIM cards cost them a lot of money. She told me to go to the RadioShack down the road and get one (and they wanted to charge me $25 for one). I just stopped going to the stores all together. If I need a new SIM card, I call customer service and request one to be shipped to me. My advise.... Stay away from the stores!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Neutron1998:
If they are so into earning their commissions one would think they would want to sell a $549 phone at full price, no?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Greenarcher707:
I work for Best Buy Mobile and indeed AT&T does automatically add the data plan once the IMEI for smartphones is detected in their database but this does not mean you can't buy the phone outright.. that's where the guy was wrong. I don't know if he would get a lesser commission if he sells without an activation or whatnot.

I have an Ipaq 614c.

I have 4 GB SDHC card in it. Although the phone says Expansion Slot in USe I cant acces the Sd Card.

What could be the problem?

FW:v0.81
[Sable] dirlan2001:
Hi,

Very weird, I've an 8 GB SDHC installed and it's running great... 1.7 GB used by TT 6, 1.9 GB used by Wikipedia MDict, almost 1 GB used by Vito AudioNotes, etc ...

Maybe it's time you get some updates from HP, like the FW v0.89, OS 1.0.1.04... and then get one of Keyx' great ROM to play with.

BTW, I'm using a SanDisk, might be also some problem with the brand you have installed.

:D

[Sable] Emrulez:
Unfortunalty there is no Dutch Update at HP. Other phones read the Sd card just fine
[Sable] dirlan2001:
Hi,

Nope, you're right. You can only update the radio to v0.89, this is language independent. The OS indeed isn't available in Dutch, and I'm not aware of any cook building a dutch version for the 614c...

Good luck anyway,

:D

Dirk
[Sable] Emrulez:
Where can I get the radio update? I have another Hp Ipaq 614c will try tomorrow if that one reads the SD card.
[Sable] dirlan2001:
Hi,

Look here

And for the SDHC, as I said, some brands go very well with HP, some don't ... I personally ditched all my Kingstons in favour of SanDisk. The Kingstons worked great in my hx4700 but no way in 614c.

:D

You need to rename the .zip back into an .apk file, but that won't be enough. You will have to resign the .apk so you can make it run on the G1.....there is alot of background required for this step so you should start reading up on it.

Start here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=471586

There is a lot of good info in the post. Pay particular attention to the links associated with "signing .apks" and follow the links for more info. The ultimate goal is to get to the point where you can right click on an .apk file and just click the resign option. That option will only be present after you read, understand, and download/install the files necessary for it.

Good luck
