After two refurbished Touch Pro's Sprint is finally sending me a Touch Pro 2. The one thing I hated about the Touch Pro was the touch screen :rolleyes: when answering. Anything could touch the screen and it would answer or click on anything. Has there been any changes to the Touch Pro 2 screen?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] starshooter10:
iirc the touch pro was tap to answer the tp2 its a touch/slide to answer.

if that dosnt satisfy you, then put on a simple 4 digit numeric password

What does the G1 store its memory on? aka firmware data. spl ect ect.

Im looking into repairing my old broken g1 (after buying a working one)

I need a new main board because my simcard reader doesnt work. i know what piece that is but does it store all your data?
[G1 General] melterx12:
no your G1 system data is stored on the internal ROM chip.

Hi All

I tried searching everywhere, no one could give me an answer to this. I am yet to receive my Nexus one and I had 2 major concerns.

1. I would like to be able to search the Global Address List (GAL) for a phone number to make a phone call.

2. To search and input email addresses from the Global Address List (GAL) when composing a mail.

Can some one please clarify if it is currently possible, if not as usual please tell us a way forward.

Thanks in advance and sorry if I am naive.

I saw just this solution for GAL now..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5315002&postcount=36

Is there anyway the calendar and the GAL can be incorporated without rooting the phone. I am a big time n00b and dont want to risk screwing the warranty on a new $600 phone, especially when i live on the other side of the earth :)

Does any one have a solution for N1 with the original ROM
[Nexus One General] maedox:
I was trying to figure this out a long while ago for the Magic when we were still using Exchange at work. The only way I could find then was syncing to Google Contacts and get those on the phone. There are a number of solutions for getting contacts from Exchange -> Google, but I can't remember much about it anymore.

Friends,

Can anyone think of a method for tunneling ICMP to a Windows Mobile device? An ICMP tunnel establishes a covert connection between two remote computers (a client and proxy), using ICMP echo requests and reply packets. This is great for mobile ISPs which permit ping to your phone, but disallow all incoming ports to your phone.

The idea is to have an application that allows you to tunnel TCP connections to a remote host using ICMP echo request and reply packets, commonly known as ping requests and replies.

Use Case Scenario: You're on the go, and stumble across an open wireless network. The network gives you an IP address, but won't let you send TCP or UDP packets out to the rest of the internet, for instance to check your mail. What to do? By chance, you discover that the network will allow you to ping any computer on the rest of the internet. With ICMP tunneling, you can utilize this feature to check your mail, or do other things that require TCP.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Rhodium Friends,

I am trying to think of a method for tunneling ICMP to our lovely Rhodium device? An ICMP tunnel establishes a covert connection between two remote computers (a client and proxy), using ICMP echo requests and reply packets. This is great for mobile ISPs which permit ping to your phone, but disallow all incoming ports to your phone.

I'm sure the Linux-based phones (Android, Nokia N900) would allow this by using a Linux program called Loki or Ptunnel, but what are we Windows Mobile users to do?

The idea is to have an application that allows you to reliably tunnel TCP connections to a remote host using ICMP echo request and reply packets, commonly known as ping requests and replies.

MOST cellphone users are NAT'ed so it wouldn't matter, period. You can't directly connect from the outside to the phone no matter what.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mail_e36:
Tmobile in the US does give you a 'static' non-NAT'd address... if you request it. This type of IP address would permit ICMP tunneling, if we can figure out a way to do it.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] edikat:
I have been an extensive Palm user since 2000, first a III, then a Treo 180, a first generation Monochrome Palm based Smartphone, and then a Treo 650 of which I spent a number of years traveling around the World on Business where the 650 served me extremely well. Packed full of applications (including some self-developed) the 650 took many a battering and drops, but still functioned 100%. I grew to love and depend on the 650 - which to me was the finest Palm ever designed.

This leads me to my first exposure to a Windows phone. The O2 branded XDA II (HTC Himalaya) running with upgraded firmware and Windows Mobile 6.1 (ather90 Dark Edition) which I purchased used for around $70 US.

This phone (and remember it is 6 years old) is nothing short of superb. Constructed very well, stable Software release, mature applications, never crashes, and always holds a 5-bar GPRS signal. It really may replace the 650 as the best smart phone I have ever used.

And it is blazingly fast… 6 years old!! But runs WM 6.1 smoothly and fluidly. Syncs to XP SP3 with no problems.

The OneNote Application is excellent, and in daily use (why have I never heard of this app before???). The Spb GPRS Counter is very nice… (some really great third-party apps that put the Palm to shame I am afraid…).

The one Palm I could not live without application was Agendus Pro. (although I believe there is a Windows Version) - however the built in WM 6.1 Calendar application is more than adequate.

I have used an iPhone and to be honest I prefer the XDA II !!! This is a fantastic and much underrated device. I think it will go down as an HTC classic (and lets face it they have made many devices!).

THIS PHONE IS AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Tabbe:
funny, just to post this review on XDA2

but agreed, XDA2 is really the best & even upgradable to 6.5

Palm is also good, as a phone with the first threaded sms option and simplicity on its OS & customization, even if you change to palm 680/centro or to 750/pro, the customization is always the same so you get to adapt faster.

XDA2 problem is when upgraded to WM5 and above, the battery will only last till around 30%, got to live with this problem.

This is my custom rom for hima 6.5

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AscDeP-pQRk

iPhone dialer is too plain, WM smart dial is simple than going into contacts and start scrolling for person name to call.

plus multi tasking with hima's ram is acceptable.

salute to this 6 years old device

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gabriel31337:
Hello everyone in the Blackstone thread.

Since I bought my Touch HD I always wanted the defice to perform as best as possible. During the last year I have tried many many ROMs and I have to say - none was bugfree (found one almost perfect - for me ;). Some bugs could be easily left forgotten as these weren't anyhow cruical.

But some were just heavily noticeable. These were from the WM6.5 world - generally.

After starting to look on the stability and performace, I have realized WM6.1 is still the best system for Touch HD - very fast, no unneeded options, great response.

I am looking right now for the latest WM6.1 ROM with latest HTC Sense 2.1. Or preferably for someone who is still cooking in WM6.1 world for Touch HD. Unfortunately I cannot find one (Dutty's v4.3 FINAL is a little bit outdated, and that's the latest one I have found ;/ ).

Anyone knows about such person?

If not I am going to try my best to cook such ROM, so I would appreciate any comments if there would be anyone interested and/or anyone willing to help me to reach the point. I am avaliable to spend as much time as possible to get this done.

Please leave a comment if you find this interesting for you.

I can simply use my device as it was intended, quickly take a picture, quickly review it, phone works, sms sends, review ballistically fast, all software just runs, soft reset is extremely fast, wifi connects without fail, background all tabs is simple, loads of themes....

But occasionally I miss the glossy Manila 2.5 with all its fluffy weather animations, but not a lot

Basically all that is needed to cook - decompile ROM and compile it back (imgfstools, search in dev&hhack).

Insane. I've owned an iPhone, iPhone 3GS, Blackberry Pearl, T-Mobile Dash, G1 and a Behold 2 recently, and this is by far the best phone I've ever had. It is so snappy and seamless. What the hell is going on here? I can't be the only one who has been wowed by this device.
[Nexus One General] Accused187:
I don't take most of that seriously. Judging by the comments to those articles, many feel and argue against the main points of what the author is saying (Many of them were funny to read also). This has not changed my opinion of still wanting a Nexus One.

What happened is the Apple Kool-Aid. Put an Apple logo on the phone and they'll change their tune.

I can understand not liking the Nexus One for actual reasons (hardware keyboard)... but the reasons that many of these articles are stating is really, really reaching.

It doesn't matter what Apple does with the next iPhone because it'll be hailed as the greatest thing ever by the Apple...yadda, yadda, yadda....
[Nexus One General] Wii60:
I think on the whole, end users love the device, but the news organizations are dishing out a lot of hate. More so than usual. The iPhone is an old device now, the 3GS was only an incremental update. It's ok to like the iPhone, its a great phone, but this sort of blind kneejerk reaction to competition is insane. It only helps to make everything else better.
[Nexus One General] student.driver:
Yeah, it's quite old. The single greatest thing Apple did was make the "smartphone" (at launch it wasn't terribly smart compared to my WinMo phones) mainstream, even when the cost was high. The phone, and its OS, are dated. Period. It's now making its mark with apps, and not on the virtues of the phone (hardware, OS) itself. There will likely be another mind-numbing incremental change that could have either been integrated earlier (like BT stereo/AVRCP and a damn 3G chip) or something that will alienate the existing userbase (even stronger hardware to run games that can't be run on older hardware). But it's OK, because most Apple users are used to pitching the "old" stuff and getting the newest, or even skipping a generation.

I have 2 G1s at the house, and I got the Nexus One because I felt like the G1 didn't fairly show what the Android OS can do. I have "TheOfficial..." ROM on both of them, and it finally started running really quickly with 2.4.2 on it. I feel like the N1 with be a huge leap forward once all the RAM is opened up (kernel update) and will be completely usable in 3 years. I can still use my G1 if I wanted to, and get virtually all the functionality of the Nexus One, but the N1 does it faster and with a bit more style. :)
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
Yeah Apples, "buy our products because they're 'cool'" is mind numbing to me. I love how everyone gets excited when the iPhone can do stuff that normal phones have been able to do for years, like picture messaging, oh man. I think I could do that a good year or 2 before the first iPhone even came out. Also funny are the new commercials showing someone "talking on the phone" while doing other tasks, except they have to put the call on hold, oops, and by then ATT's network probably already dropped the call. Oh well, it's other peoples money, not mine.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
