Oh, sorry, it makes the OLD PROVIDERS obsolete (which basically makes their hardware obsolete).

Actually, they allow it NOW, and will be providing SIMCARDS BY THEMSELVES by the end of this WEEK.

I did my research. You should be doing YOURS.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
... and that is why your phone is obsolete!
[G1 General] lbcoder:
hmm...

Nope.

They charge $80 for 5GB.

Go check.

And no, the new guys DO NOT SUPPORT EDGE AT ALL, so you wouldn't be going to edge.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
AND 10 times out of 10, the price of the phone (multiplied by 10 or more) is added into the price of the plan over the contract.

3 years = 36 months. You can't save $10/month?

If the plan saves you $50/month, then you can afford to buy a new $360 phone every SEVEN MONTHS!

Over 36 months you save $1800!!! How many new phones do you want?
[G1 General] Chahk:
Unlocked G1 works perfectly fine on AT&T's $15 data plan. Limited to EDGE of course because their 3G frequencies are different.

The man's math is solid. That is why I pay full retail price for my handsets.

I'd do it in a heart beat!
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
I know we are talking about phone data. I just thought I would mention that I don't even pay that for home data. I know the difference here.
[G1 General] walie:
strange, i'm looking at my monthly bill right now, and, yep, $15 for 6 gigs of data

Do you mean Wind as the new guys? outside of Toronto and Calgary, wind phones roam on the Rogers EDGE network, with an added cost of roaming

swap

i have a rogers htc dream in black if anyone wants a swap

pls msg
[G1 General] lbcoder:
And you're a liar.

Their prices are all on their websites, and I'm afraid that it is actually $80 for 5GB from robelus.

Who else?

And BTW: The wind roaming charge, as I've mentioned already, is lower than the robbers LONG DISTANCE charge, so even when you're roaming, it is STILL CHEAPER since you would be paying long distance anywhere that you will be roaming anyways.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
EXACTLY!! :D
[G1 General] AverageCanadian:
Obviously he is talking about a retention deal. Not to many people can even get data at that price on retention. I have 6gigs for $30 but couldn't get the lady to give me any discounts :(
[G1 General] ringer13:
He got that when Rogers was competing with Telus and their $15 unlimited Data, they put that out for their iPhone i believe. it is not available anymore though.
[G1 General] spereira88:
Quite the Contrary!

It actually turns out that this new company has the LOWEST Plan Prices... and offers UNLIMITED Anytime minutes and UNLIMITED Txt msg while home and Not roaming for a monthly price of 45 dollars per month... that's the MOST Expensive Voice plan they have.

They also offer a Unlimited voice plan with Limited txt msgs. they also have an unlimited data Ad-on to any voice plan that is 35$ more a Month... but the Biggest difference between this data plan and other data plans is this: EVERY Data plan has a Friendly limit. lets call it 5gb. even on an unlimited plan. the difference with Wind Mobile is instead of Cutting off service after the limit is reached, Or charging you more for every mb or gb you go over the 5gb, they just slow it down after the 5gb. i personally think this way of doing things is alot better then robbers or bell...

http://shop.windmobile.ca/ProductCatalog/VoicePlans/

http://shop.windmobile.ca/ProductCatalog/Addon/AddonCategory.aspx?id=AddonCategory2

not only that, but this new company is the First REAL Threat to come against rogers or bell... and they have monopolized our wireless market for far to long. its go to have a choice that seems more fair.

Im not guaranteeing this, just repeating whats on the site. now lets hope that they are Legit and stay loyal to there word!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hypersonicx:
Hey is it normal for the mytouch to go back to the home screen kinda slow? Like, if im in the music app with music playing and then jump to the brower wile the music playing and then if I decide to hit the Home Key. The home screen takes like 2 to 4 seconds to appear.

I also notice that my IM client cant keep me signed in. Is this a android OS problem? or what?

The rom Im on is CyaMod 4.2.8.1 Which is supose to be fast and all and it is but comin from a iphone where the home screen loaded instantly is what Im kinda use to. Even on WinMobile phones the home screen loads rather instantly.

Any advice?

Thanks?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bunu:
you can can choose to keep the im signed in or not so that is your fault and not android

you need to overclock the phone to keep it nice and smooth and try clearing the cache every now and then

my own mytouch 3g is fast and better than the iphone
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hypersonicx:
Actually my IM is set to keep me signed in but it doesnt. Im pretty sure the problem im having is more complicated then putting a check mark in the keep me signed in box. LOL

But anyway, maybe clearing the cache will do the trick which is something I dont do too often.

I do run advance task manager and I frequently close programs I dont use. I allways have at least 25mb of mem left but backing back to the home screen is allways 4 to 5 seconds delay. I even tried removing all my icons from the other screen and only have total 5 icons on the 1st screen.

Any other advice would be appreciated thanks guys.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DMaverick50:
mine is not rooted and the battery life sucks, overclocking will help but it'll run the battery harder. The bottom line is tmobile doesn't want to make a phone with very much ram because then u might be too satisfied with your device and not want a new one every few months.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hypersonicx:
Wow so is this a hardware/mytouch3g issue?

I tried different roms from stock to herosense to now the latest dohnut but everynow and then the home screen lags to appear especially when im multi tasking on it like music/webrowse/google maps all at the same time WITH weatherbug/twidroid in the background.

The phone just starts to run a lil slower especially when I need to back out to the home screen. As for the IM problem. I think the IM looses connection or is closed automattically from the background when other software require more memory.

I had a G1 on cupcake for a limited time before and I dont remember it having this problem. I dont know. but if theres any suggestions to kinda get rid of this problem please let me know.

EDIT

As for overclocking I allways thought the newer cyanmods roms had overclocking at default. Even with overclock it seems the problem is with memory.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] icon57:
i have the same issue on both g1 and the magic as well...def not as smooth as the iphone....sometimes too many widgets will cause slow downs on the screen loading i have noticed....just part of multitasking, making it a tad slow...and yeah..the cyanogen is oc'ed by default
[HD2 General] Ankobarabanko:
Did someone notice that on the inner side of the battery cover there are 2 spots which make contact with 2 pellets when closed.

What do you think is the purpose of that?
[HD2 General] Ziks:
dunno know whats those 2 points. but it isn't the antenna.
[HD2 General] Pantaloonie:
Interesting. I hadn't noticed that before.

They do look like they are there for a reason, but what..?
[HD2 General] kobibz:
i think is a charging circuit for the htc hd2 car kit back panel
[HD2 General] Archer:
I think it's probably the detectors for the car kit, so it knows when you've attached the back to the stand. I believe that there's an attachment that connects to the open connections near the battery & SIM for charging via the car kit, but I'm not 100% about that.

Hi, did anybody test how much consume sd and microdrive?. battery goes down quickly and i think, that microdrive can consume big deal of it. Can i turn off microdrive and replace by sd?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
yes, the microdrive uses more power than the SDcard. also you should be able to turn off the drive but I'm not so sure on how that is done. maybe there is reg key somewhere there. what I usually do though is install programs I don't use that often to the drive and the use I use often I install to the device or sdcard. have you tried enabling the power options in advance config? if yes, have you noticed any improvments in power consumption?

I wish there was a way to put my device on edge when no I'm not using data and to auto change it to 3G when I'm using data.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ftoz:
i have almost all option in power management on, but bigest problem it that my athena battery goes down, when i using 3G and charging due to usb.

Hi Leo users,

I would like to configure my Leo so as to use a VPN.

With my Laptop, I use a free VPN that we can find at http://www.itshidden.com.

And it works fine for surf. at home or on publicWiFi...

My problem is that I try and try to configure it on my Leo, but it's not working.

I saw a tutorial on IPhone3 and it seems to work !!! and it works on one XP computer and another one on Vista.

We can find an explanation "How to" for Windows XP at : http://www.itshidden.com/Support/VPNXP.html

We can find an explanation (in french, sorry) for IPhone3 at the end of http://free.korben.info/index.php/Configuration_d'une_connexion_PPTP_(VPN)#Sous_un_OS_mobile .

Please, would you like to explain me how to configure?
[HD2 General] fredcom2:
just some precision on what I do, and what can be done...

With Leo :

I select "Comm Manager"/Menu/Connexions

then "new VPN connexion"

Name : My VPN

Host Name: vpn.itshidden.com

User Name : my_login

password : my_password

Domain : -nil-

the pictures for Leo:

With Iphone :

Settings/Network/VPN

select for a new one

"PPTP" protocole

Description : My VPN

Server : vpn.itshidden.com

Account : my_login

password : my_password

and that's all.

pictures for IPhone :

So, I'm sure that it can be done on our Leo as it seems very simple on IPhone... but I'm not able to do it.

Please, may I have your help.
[HD2 General] civilization:
you can use a proxycab program to do it for you
[HD2 General] fredcom2:
Hi civilization,

thanks for your answer.

I'm not sure to well understand.

I think "proxycab" is to use a proxy...

if it's that, this is not exactly what I expect because a proxy doesn't encrypt data as VPN do.

I want to use a VPN because public Network (or Network of a competitor) are not safe.

It's really easy to configure a VPN connexion on a XP or Vista laptop, but hard (for me) to configure it on Leo.
[HD2 General] Xzeven:
Hi all VPNers :)

I have unfortunate and official information for anyone hoping to use PPTP VPN connections. Apparently Microsoft implementation of MPPE is not compatible with microsoft's very own mobile OS...shocking.

A supplier who was dealing with MS told me:

LT2P/IPSEC work perfectly with WinMo 6+ however.

There are 2 ways around this:

1: Find a software client that works with Windows Mobile and supports PP2P MPPE (none exist that I am aware of)

2: Find a VPN supplier who will provide you with LT2P connections. Though in my experience those are quite rare and expensive
[HD2 General] fredcom2:
Hi jagnet,

Arghhh

like in your signature, I hope I might say "I reject your reality and substitute my own"...

but what you answer is incredible.

it's so easy to configure a VPN (PPTP) in a laptop (OS Windows, or Ubuntu, or Mac OS X), or a mobile like IPhone OS 3.

I can't imagine that it's not possible in our Windows Mobile 6.5 as we have an option to choose between IPSec/L2TP and PPTP !!!

see :

Arghhhh, Windows kill me.

did you find another solution, not too expensive?
[HD2 General] civilization:
have tried surfing the web on 3G network?
[HD2 General] Xzeven:
Yes you can select PPTP in WinMo but it still won't allow any data to pass on a PPTP connection with MPPE (i.e. 99% of routers, services and providers) A major oversight at the Windows Mobile Developers Lab.

Aaaaanyhow, I found perhaps a complex but free method which works if your don't mind some of your connection being insecure.

1: You'll need a spare server (I have too many at home :) )

2: Set that server up to act as a proxy

3: Set that server to connect to your VPN Provider

4: Setup your phone to use your Server as a Proxy

5: All data will then pass onto your proxy which will pass on to the VPN.

Another much more secure, though complex method is:

1: You'll need a spare server

2: Set that server up to act as a L2TP SERVER

3: Set that server to connect as a CLIENT to your VPN Provider

4: Setup your phone to connect to YOUR server with the L2TP connection (which works in WinMo and is more secure than PPTP anyway)

5: Your phone will then send all that to your server which will securely pass all data to your VPN provider.

Et voilà, your phone will pass all data through your VPN. Not secure but it works. If you need a more detailed walk-through let me know

You could also try any of the L2TP VPN providers but they're rare and usually more expensive.
[HD2 General] civilization:
What do mean by "a spare server"? how can i do that?

thanks
[HD2 General] fredcom2:
Hi jagnet,

thanks for your solutions.

the first one seems to be "unsecure" as datas are not encrypted between the phone and the spare server (and be sniffed).

the second seems good... but though complex.

In fact, I don't know how to create a spare server at home, I don't know the material that can and should be use... and yes I'm a noob and I need help;-)

arghh, why its not as easy as for a windows netbook... or for an Iphone
[HD2 General] mrhankey_ch:
Hello all,

I also tried PPTP VPN connections via my HTC HD2 with WM 6.5.

The connection works fine:

- I can see on the W2K3 server, in the event log, that a new VPN client connected well (and I can also see the IP that has been attributed to the client)

- I can see in the active connection lists on the HTC HD2 the VPN connected

BUT, as soon as I try to transfer data, using VNC or Opera (for example), the VPN connection is closed!

What's wrong with this VPN implementation in WM6.5?

I'm really frustrated... Do you think it's linked to the unsupported PPTP MPPE?

Thanks for your advice.
[HD2 General] ppr0:
Hello Mrhankry,

I am looking for a PPTP VPN connection at HD2.

I try here:

Settings / Connections / Connections / Manage existing connections

It doesnt have VPN Tab on this wm6.5....

It did have on wm6.1....

Can you explain where do you do this connection???

ROM version: 1.66.405.2

OS version: 5.2.21869

Manila version: 2.5.19211619.0

thanks,

[HD2 General] namth56:
It's so strange that I can use VPN over wifi, but it does not work over UMTS. Anyone has it work?
[HD2 General] :
Normally unless you have a Business account from TMO you cannot use VPN , because you are NAT'd and behind their proxy server, now it seems in some places it will work, due to different configs at that data endpoint, but, for reliable VPN on TMO you need their Business internet/VPN package ..
[HD2 General] namth56:
Hi watcher64,

I dont think it's a carrier problem, because when I use my PC with dial-up connection on my phone, the VPN client on my PC works.

I have tried some provider and got the same problem.

Hi All,

when i bought my HTC HD last year, i got a wonderful pouch with it. Unfortunately with the HD2 i didnt. Do HTC do a pouch for the HTC HD2?

If so, where can i buy one from? it needs to be the same material as the one that comes in the box for htc hd.

thanks in advance
[HD2 General] Archer:
The official HD2 one is muuuuuch nicer than the HD one - it's leather (ish).

Some providers aren't supplying the pouches (for some unfathomable reason), so you're left getting yourself one. If you want one like the HD pouch, then you'd have to buy it anyway. There's a "cases" thread in the Leo accessories forum. Just have a look in there - it's full of suggestions.

Incidentally, who did you get it from?
[HD2 General] jakem:
You can buy the pouch from Clove:

http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....Category=31459CCD-3D8B-4520-B0CE-03F38932C96B

It is an American company so you should get good map coverage there.

TomTom does not seem to sell Navigator for Mobiles anymore.

It came bundled with various mobiles over the last few years but not any more, only for iphone.

You can still get it from GPSUnderground.

Hello everybody, first of all sorry for my bad english!

I am thinking to buy an hd2, but i have a question.

At my work place, there is a WiFi network protected by Cisco VPN with a certificate and user-password autentication.

I would to connect with my hd2 with this network.

In Cisco VPN integrated in WM6.5 or i have to install a dedicated software? in this case, the software is free or i have tu buy it?

Another question: is WM6.5 multilanguage (localized in italian in particular) or only in english? If it is only in english is not a big problem, but, well if WM is localized in italian is better for me.

Thanks for reads and answers.
