[Touch Pro, Fuze General] trowakage:
Figure I'd start documenting all the work I'm putting into my Raphael (an unlocked AT&T Fuze). Been lurking here at XDA for a little over a year now. Only recently have I been able to afford to purchase a smartphone to replace my Sony Ericsson M600i (R.I.P. UIQ), and the community development here at XDA really excited me so I decided to go with a HTC.

After some comparative research at GSMArena (great search functions there), I settled on an AT&T Fuze. I really wanted a hardware keyboard (though I admit the iPhone on-screen keyboard is pretty good too), world quad band support (You absolutely NEED 850mhz here in Canada, but was also doing some traveling for work over the holidays), GPS (for said travels, and my usual propensity to be lost), and Wifi. All that, I figured, could make the Fuze a possible on-the-go computer replacement for me.

Found a cool seller over at HardForums that was great to deal with and 2 weeks later I had my Fuze (first impressions later).

On a sidenote, something that I will also be talking about in this string of posts is how Rogers Canada decided to lock smartphones out of their unlimited WAP browsing plan, trying to force their prepaid customers to switch to huge data contracts. So I'm looking to switch to alternatives such as Petro-Canada and 7-Eleven SpeakOut prepaid to see if I can get unlimited WAP with my Fuze.

That's it for now. Next post I'm going to talking about my first impressions of the Fuze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] trowakage:
First Impressions

First impression of the Fuze: Its heavy, and it attracts finger prints/grease like no other gadget I've ever owned. I have no idea why someone thought it'd be a good idea to have a shiny reflective backing for the bottom of a phone, not to mention its BLACK, so everything shows up. Another thing I didn't quite like was the way the slide-out keyboard joint felt really loose when the keyboard was closed, almost like I could pry it apart if I wasn't careful.

The weight really did surprise me. I thought I had a heavy phone when I had a Panasonic VS7 a few years back, but this thing is leagues beyond. I was surprised to find that I can't even blame a big battery. Its a whole 20g heavier than the similiarly spec Xperia X1 (which my friend has). 20g might not sound like much, but when the phone is only 145g, you can definitely feel the difference.

One thing I did like was the screen, I've never had a phone with better than QVGA res, and this VGA screen really shines. Everything is so sharp. And though people say that WinMo isn't as finger friendly as the iPhone (my friend has an old Elf with WinMo 6.0, I can definitely agree with that sentiment there, but I upgraded it for him :D), the 280xx builds definitely help that and my fingers are pretty small to begin with.

Speaking of builds, the seller was nice enough to unlock the phone, and had already HardSPL'd and install a new ROM on it (an older TAEL 280xx Sense release). And let me tell you, seeing something you've read and researched on for over a year finally in action is a lot of fun.

Next post, flashing a new ROM and radio, and porting over my contacts from the old phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] trowakage:
Flashing ROM and Radio

The original phone came with TAEL's v1.28xxx ROM, and the 1.02.25.19 radio. First thing I wanted to do was get one of the more up-to-date ROMs. I like my phone to have a clean, non-cluttered look, and after looking around the Raphael ROM forum I decided to stick with TAEL (EnergyROM looked highly functional as well, but looked a bit too busy for my liking). I choose the standard/Titanium release for the same reason (I never liked TouchFlo, as cool as it looks).

The phone was already HardSPL'd, so flashing was easy. Use the MicroSD method (EXCELLENT guide on the sub-forum, as expected from XDA), and in a couple minutes I had the ROM flashed and started trying out different things with my new phone, like web browsing and GPS. This was the point when I found out that Rogers had locked smartphones out of their unlimited WAP plan, which really ticked me as I had bought the Raphael for its better data capabilities than my M600i. HowardForums confirmed my findings, and that's when I started looking for other prepaid providers that have unlimited browsing (more on that in another post).

Luckily I still had Wi-fi to play with. The reception was pretty poor in my house but moving around a bit found a spot that the Raph can hold a connection. After spending some time with Mobile IE and Opera 10, I'm starting to realize why people say Safari on iPhone is THE mobile browser. It simply supports more web protocols than anything else right now (and before people start shouting Skyfire, yes, I'm going to be trying that out soon). GPS on Google Maps was pretty spotty too, it hard a real hard time getting a lock from my room window which faces the open street.

That's when it dawned on me, I should probably flash a new radio. On the Raph radio thread the pole already stated that I had the most popular radio. But the newer radios were not listed and further reading revealed that 1.12.25.19 was getting good reviews from North American users. So off I go to flash the new radio, as simple as flashing the ROM pretty much. And wow, what a difference in GPS performance. Google Maps locks in a couple seconds, TomTom locks quickly (especially if I launch Google Maps first, I'll talk about TomTom and Garmin more in another post). Battery life shot up too, 2-3 days w/o charging on an older battery is pretty good (my M600i I had to charge everyday, sometimes multiple times a day.

Next time, importing my contacts from a non windows mobile phone but NOT using Outlook in between.

otherwise it seem very fast and stable, i ran through a couple other apps which all seem to work. i like that dev tools app, where is that from?

and some info;

i am coming from sensehero v1.4 no wipe, apps2sd and linux swap partitions on a shi**y memory card that came with the device.

and it boot twice as fast the second time

i also have a request in the begining of boot to complete an action using advanced launcher or home, what is it for? nothing seems to happen. (nm, i figured that out, the advanced one loads faster btw) and there is a warning about low space in phone storage.

hope that helps

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texco:
I am new to this forum and just curious about Xperia. Sorry if someone already asked these questions.

X1 looks very similar to HTC Touch Pro and it is using microSD instead of memory stick. Is Xperia actually made by HTC?

X1 and X2 are both using Qualcomm 528 Mhz processor and many other same specs. Can't we just flash X2 ROM in X1? Why buy X2 if you can turn old X1 to perform like new X2 other than the pleasure of owning new product, of course :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
yes the x1 is made by htc, sadly :(

the x2 if made by a side company of foxconn :)

u can only convert the software to the x1. the improved hardware (8.1mp camera, better keyboard, larger screen, stereo speakers, sensors etc) is what will make the difference between the 2 handsets.
[General Topics] paintitrainbow:
I have unlimited messaging for my whole family with At&t. I however wish to disable data as I do not want to be charged for using MEdianet accidentally as it's shortcut key is part of the QWERTY keyboard and I could accidentally press it and be charged aimlessly. However with At&t Data blocking also blocks the sending/receiving of MMS messages (stupid!) and I want to be able to benefit from that since I am paying for an unlimited texting plan. Is there a way to tweak with the settings of this phone so that the connecting of the internet is disabled and I can still send MMS? Help please!

P.S. Sorry if this isn't fit in the right place I am new to this forum and I simply want an answer.

READ, READ, READ and then, when you are sure you know everything READ some more.

Its called Danger SPL for a reason.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carnegie0107:
I really, really don't want to sound condescending... but Eugene373's Eclair ROM is highly experimental, and even experienced hacker/developers struggle to get it usable on their devices. If you didn't know that you needed the Danger SPL, or you weren't 100% sure how to flash it... you definitely don't want it. It's intended for testers to use and help fix issues, not for daily use. A lot of stuff is still broken on it. So, listen carefully: This is NOT intended to be used on the phone you use every day for making calls and such. This is for testing purposes. If that's not your cuppa tea, try Cyanogen, Dwang, TheOfficial, or if you're feeling bold and risky, try WesGarner's neat tweak of Cyanogen's ROM with the 10Mb RAM hack.

Hey out there!! ;)

There was a very nice Softphone/Skype Alternative called "WengoPhone" for Windows Mobile 5 (click here for further info or here to download (second link in german)). Wengophone also exists for Microsoft Windows, now under the name "QuteCom".

Here´s a screenshot, i think it´s looking pretty nice:

As far as I know the Wengoproject was completely opensource, but as soon as i´m not into "the development thing" myself, i can´t find the source code for this moment :)
