[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] S.V.I:
Dont do it !!!

MY Roommate has an iphone 3g. she is always asking to use my touch pro to connect her laptop to my phone to get internet. Internet sharing on the iphone does not work unless you jailbreak it.

other things you can not do is draw on the cap. touch screen. there is no hardware keyboard and because of that every message I got from an iphone user made them seem like they are 5 years old. there are lots of things iphone users complain about, not just my roommate. I just dont have the time to get into it.

Main thing you need is Outlook integration, right? so why deal with Apple products? there is a better outlook in the WinMo phones than on a desktop!

Apple lets the carriers (Att) call the shots about what is possible with the dinky little iphone. Microsoft lets us call the shots when we have to raise our fingers at those who limit us. They just dont tell us how to, but make it pretty easy.

You get an iphone, you will regret it.

Just find a decent stable rom.

[EDIT]

Just think of apple as the forbiden fruit... 'cause just about everything you try to do on it is forbiden. :|
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dwarf:
Try one one of the cell pro roms. They are really stable and manilla is quite snappy on them.

I found the NRG roms pretty to look at but a little too buggy to use day to day.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
I've been using NRG's roms for a long time and prefer the 21*** based 2.1 roms and they've been stable and snappy.

As for the iPhone, go ahead and try it out and see what you think. I have a buddy of mine that switched from windows mobile to iPhone and loves it! He was sick of flashing roms and doing reg edits and such. He wanted something low maintenance.

As for me, i've had the originial iPhone and the 3G, i couldn't use either one for more than 2 weeks. They've got a bunch of apps, but 90% of them are useless, windows mobile is much more productive.

The user interface is awesome, and its a great phone for people that want something really simple. As for me, i prefer something advanced, like windows mobile ;)

Don´t trade it!

Rhodium is a great device!!

Rhodium: business and more serious and complete device

iphone: a fun device for listening music, download 100000000000000000000000 of almost all useless apps.. oh and by the way you can make calls....

Don't do it ......

The iPhone is losing it's luster ............ :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
To be honest with you, we can have a fanboy war all day. Also this question has been asked many times.

IMHO It comes down to personal preference.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kimtyson:
I had a Tytn II (ATT Tilt) for 1.5 years and then got an iPhone. Have had the iPhone for about a year. Jailbroke it so I could actually do some things with it but it is still limiting. Now I want to go back to WinMo and the TP2. So, you tell me which is best?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] krisez:
I have both, and i'd never go iPhone only,

the iPhone is great for reading emails and browsing the internet

the TP2 is much better for messages, calls, internet sharing, and useful software, like FFT's or playing back video formats i actually use.

I can spend all day dicking around on the TP2 and still have enough battery to make calls, i put my iPhone through the same punishment and it lasts less than 8 hours.

plus every man and his dog has an iphone, and when you pull yours out, its like an open invitation for people to come up to you and compare "apps"

on apps: WOOO OVER 90,000 APPS! most of them are fart sound generators. there are 3 useful apps, and they all cost over $50.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ChristopherJLee:
i have had tons of smart phones and the tp2 was the only windows mobile phone i could stand after having all palm treo's. unfortunately, the phone is laggy and slow, and the iphone is so much better at switching between programs. i disagree that the apps are not useful, i have found the apps to be the main reason i want to switch. safari, yelp, facebook, etc. all the internet based apps are better written, and integrate more seamlessly with the phone. if sprint wasn't giving me such a good deal, and i mean really amazing plan, i would have switched to the iphone a long time ago. once the next gen iphone comes out (june 2010) i will get one in addition to my tp2 which i use for tethering. as for the jailbreak excuse, yes, some of the apps do require jailbreaking but i hardly see the difference between jailbreaking and installing a new rom.

the only issue, and it's a big one, is the lack of a physical keyboard. you get used to it, but still i can see it being an issue with as many text messages as i send.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PUTALE:
I do not have iphone but have teh ipod touch which is virtually iphone without the phone feature:). The strength of iphone is often the interface and the tight integration. It should be expected because the phone interface does not sits on top of the WinMo. I guess if you want a faster response, disable the touchflo:).

Another strength of iphone would be finger frindly. WinMo still needs to catch up and hopefully it will on WinMo 7 (and hopefully TP2 will have it, pray on HTC to support it)>

Another strength of iPhone would be the web browser in my opnion. Nothing on the mobile platform comes as close as the safari.

I guess for more feature rich and more customization, winmo phones are great and tp2 is prob the best (with the exception of HTC Leo:)). The con of the TP would probably be the size and weight.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] CeLlgUy:
If you need more speed and stability, energy ROMs may not be for you. Lot's of extras and eye candy are put in. They are fast enough for me, but maybe you should look at a more simplistic ROM. I have a CDMA device so I can't recommend one for you but I'm sure there are plenty out there. If you rely on the outlook features heavily, Iphone is definitely not for you. It is a media phone, not a PDA.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Unknown3rdPerson:
iPhone or TP2

I never had an iPhone--I never wanted one--but I had my TyTN/8525 for just a few months short of 3 years; at that point, the battery couldn't hold a charge and that made it untenable while out on contract projects. I recently upgraded to a TP2 and am absolutely happy with it. The only problem I've had (installed an application that, after rebooting, wouldn't even load Windows. I fixed that and haven't had a problem since.

Both platforms have some apps that aren't worth wasting any bandwidth on as well as some apps that are worth their weight in gold. Both have download services for applications, and I know the Windows Marketplace and CAB4Express are lacking. Still, I've patched my otherwise stock Tilt 2 to improve the network throughput, removed the extra software that AT&T installed and installed other WM65-compatible software. it's a great business platform; rumors of its demise are overexaggerated and, to the contrary, it's not dead yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] band27:
If you are tired of the typical Manila style. Try SPB SHELL. It's kind of like the Android interface and it's pretty zippy. It might give your device some freshness. It consumes less CPU juice then manila so give it a try. Download it from the website and give it a try.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 69Pwned:
That looks pretty tight, i'm gonna try it out ........ :D

Hi, my iPhone 3g just broke and I was looking to get a new phone. Im a former Windows Mobile 5 user (mda, eten m700, and tilt). I am also a former G1 user. I always liked windows mobile before becasue all of the nicer devices ran it, but i always felt it was very slow and sluggish. I find the apple appstore is great and I use alot of the programs daily and they all are very smooth and fast. Have they improved windows mobile since the mda days. Will the tp2 be as fast an an iphone.

Is there a VNC program to control my desktop over edge, 3g, or wifi?

How good is the facebook app?

Hows the battery life?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dougstoner:
Hahaha, this made my day. My roommate has one, and his phone drops calls CONSTANTLY. I'm being serious, like at least 4-5 times a day.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quid246:
One point people have overlooked (unless I missed it wihile skimming)... is how customizable WinMo/TP2 is. You can modify your icons, enable disable features with simple RegEdits and make it look how you want

iPhone is well... still looks like an iPhone, unless you want to get into deep programming.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PUTALE:
okay, i got my TP2 yesterday. I have got to say. I am loving this phone. I was a WinMo hater as well because of the fact it's sluggish and poor touchscreen interface. However, I think HTC made an excellent device. The screen is just great and vibratn. I think it's even better than iphone (can't confirm). the thing actually is much faster than I expected and I think it's not as slow as people cliam it to be. Even without the hacked ROM, it's fast enough.

The couple of complaints I have with the phone is the poor internet performance (it's going to e it's achille's hill for a long time unless MS get their act together). The weight is definitely not as good, it's a tad too heavy and thick to my liking but it's tolerable.

I absolutely love the keyboard, it's so much easier to work with it.

If you want a lighter phone, I think the HTC pure is an excellent alternative.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaos Chase:
Okay, I am very new to this rom and root and mod your phone thing and tried to do so the other night, What I actually wanted was youtube user EmoGamer's version of the Hero 2.0.1 on his G1, like really bad! Oh well, anyways after totally messing my phone up from not knowing what I was doing, I managed to install the factory state back to the phone. Android 1.0! Now to get my phone back to Donut 1.6, I need 1.5

So does anyone know where I can get 1.5? like the real cupcake update, not some bootleg or mod rom, I mean the actual Cupcake update?

Please and thanks everyone.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Sometime in the next couple days you will be prompted to update your phone, this will take you to the most recent official update... just keep a wifi, or other date connection, going and it will download it on it's own.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Of 2.0?

I know 1.6 will get sent to him but he wants to have root i think.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
I think he just wants to go back to stock and not mess around with it at the moment.

"Now to get my phone back to Donut 1.6, I need 1.5"

And I wish it was 2.0 and I had some insider track on it... I think we will see that officially by January 20th, don't ask why I say that date, just seems like a good one to pull out of the hat.

I've just seen a process called tmail.exe in the processes list in the cleanRAM config menu. It doesn't show up in task manager and I haven't downloaded anything called tmail to my knowledge.

Does anyone know what this is and if it's just some kind of email service, can I delete it? How would I even do that - it doesn't show up in any kind of program list, just the cleanRAM process list.

My phone is the HTC Touch Pro2

Thanks.

tmail.exe is the process that runs email and messaging. It is a hidden process, There are a few. Look for dotfred's taskmanager and it will show you more.

[HD2 General] Cheesy Dave:
Hi, I'm not entirely sure what your question is as your post title is not clear.

But, if you want to sync Lotus "Nuts" (I hate it but have it in the office) with the HD2 then Easy Sync Pro from IBM works quite well. It does do contacts (without photos) and calendar and tasks OK.

There is also a "Traveller " program for Lotus that claims to sync but I have not tried it.
[HD2 General] FroggyZ:
XTNDConnect PC (6.5) works fine for me (with Lotus Notus 8) :)

I'm using XTNDConnect, works ok

Thou i hate Lotus Notes (used at my company).
[HD2 General] kleinholzinferno:
Hey there!

Got my Leo two days ago and tried it with XTND Connect 6.0. Didn´t work, so i got the tiral of version 6.5. Now it always tells me it "cannot sync and i should check if acvite sync is working."

I definitely have an active sync connection but it won´t work.

I also reinstalled active sync and xtnd connect and re-configured them, but it dowsn´t work.

Can anyone help me?

best regards

Take XTND V7.xx it works.
[HD2 General] Spike15:

I thought people used a real groupware server -- Exchange.
[HD2 General] dmonuk:
My work use Lotus Notes Traveller, its pretty good, the managers and directors can use it on there S740 Rose and Touch Diamond 2s.... So its gotta be easy to use, updates calendar on the phone also and notifies of meetings.
[HD2 General] kleinholzinferno:
Thanks for the reply!

I uninstalled everything again and then it worked fine with xtnd connect v6.0.

Yesterday I got the 7.1 release, installed it and everything works fine now.

The only problem is that when i sync my emails the programm syncs them but into th outlook inbox. So I can´t reach them via the softkey and have to change the folder to outllok inbox everytime i want to have a llok at my emails.

Is there anything to adjust to view them on the email screen?

Thanks for your help!

[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
As mentioned above, it depends.

It is possible to write an application that will run on either PPC Touch Screens, and also on smart phones, but the decision must be made at the design stage, and the application must decide which type of device it is running on and act accordingly.

Smartphones will not generate OnClick() events (.NET) or WM_LBUTTONDOWN messages (Win32), only key related events. If the app was written only for PPC clicks and not to react to key presses as well, you could be in trouble.

I've searched and searched and searched, so please don't jump down my throat for asking. Been looking for about a day now on how to install and then use MarcusMaximus's Apps2SD2 on my rooted Sprint Hero CDMA.

I've downloaded Apps2SD2.apk.zip following this link http://theunlockr.com/downloads/android-downloads/android-applications/ on theUnlockr. Problem is when I unzip it I don't see any .apk file to install. It's just folders inside folders with a few files scattered here and there. So I searched for "install apps2sd2" and "install apps2sd2 marcusmaximus", etc . etc. Nothing....

My questions are:

1) how do i install

2) once installed is there anything special i need to do from there or does it just start doing it's job?

Hello all

what application or software are you using for making or editing ".tsk" files for the new UI of WM 6.5?

I am using build 28014 & 23517 now

themes like pureblack 3 work great but i would like to edit the embeded background

I know i can simple choose & apply another background ...but i would like to embed one & cook the edited theme in my rom

Microsoft web-based generator is crappy..please advise...thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Use WinCE CAB Manager.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ahmedfikry:
I use WinCE cab manager to add/remove image files in the theme

but every theme has a ".tsk" file that determines the background, top bar, bottom bar colors, and sizing of tabs..etc

my question is how to edit the TSK file.. i used ThemeGenCE before with WM 6.1 but when i use it now with WM 6.5 i am able to change the background but all other stuff gets messed up

any theme editor for TSK files that work with 6.5?? (keeping top & bottom bar untouched?)

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Yeah, double-click the TSK, man!

Do you guys know how to make it work? I'm getting a white background. Max should use manila files for the wallpapers that way Cookiemonster can be able to make a new patch (:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Max does use manila for the wallpapers, you're just doing it wrong :p Make sure the Ultimate theme has wallpaper set to "D" (for default) and you HDWall settings are correct; a white background usually means you're using CFC compression on a rom that doesn't have CFC...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TooHot2Handle:
What profile on HDWall would you suggest? I'm selecting the one that says HTC Sense 2.5 - All Tabs No Compression and I still get the white background. When I select "D" I get a different wallpaper that came with it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
Are you using the latest version of HD Wall ie v0.28b? Also select the "HTC Sense v2.5 WM6.5 - All Tabs - No Compression" profile to work with the Co0kieMonster patch. D in MaxManila shows the original default wallpaper, you may need to use B to see your wallpaper. Depending on you rom, I think some of the chefs have started "fiddling" with manila to get their own wallpapers to display and what has worked previously for me using HD Wall does not always work on some of these roms.

Hi all, I'm new here so this is my first post :)

I recently saw on Youtube the new WM 6.5 wich rocks, its very cool, and I wand to upgrade my phone to this new version. I currently have the latest offical version that is WM 6.1.

So I have this HTC Touch Dual, or Nike, 16 keys version from Orange, I'm pretty sure its also locked on this network so I need to unlock it as I read this is necessary.

I still have my warranty so I would like to make some sort of backup after all of the system files ( Rom, Radio, etc ) in case I fail to upgrade it.

So I now this may be an annoying question but because I saw many threads with unlocking software and ROMs, can you give me a link to thread where there are steps to backup, unlock and flash WM 6.5 to a Nike.

Thank You
