I've not found any international SMS charges.

AFAIK, they use data for all communications back to the servers. The only times I've seen SMS are that if you forget your PIN, the app will send it via SMS to a buddy (who is usually in your country).

Also during activation, it sends an SMS to you, (but in the UK SMS is free to receive, and calls are free to receive). Also, locking the phone via internet or by SMS will result in an SMS sent from them or another phone, but again it is only receiving the SMS...

Do you pay to receive SMS where you are? Otherwise it seems to use data as its main communication medium.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
My latest phonebill was exactly the same as the one before and on WS's site it says that it's completely free of charge for android I recall.

This guy still hasen't turned it on, lost hope a little bit, but I still check every day to be sure.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frederikk:
No i don't pay, but i'm interested in this app - of course !!! - and i read comments on the androlib site about those international sms and charges ...

Ciao

[Hero, G2 Touch General] axellink:
This app is awesome. For me it nearly beats locale. I lost my phone on a drunken night and did a locator search for it. It pinpointed to the exact location where my phone was. I left my phone with a mate and forgot to get it back. But the sheer usefulness of the locator is a win for me. Yes i would even pay for this app as well!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] choccy31:
If you don't have GPS turned on at the time, can you get it to turn on so it can be tracked?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
Sadly no, but it uses google's location service which works with wifi, network, or GPS, so if gps is turned on and you track the phone you get an exact location.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] choccy31:
Good stuff.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Hmmm. You should maybe send a wipe command to the phone too. If it is ever turned on, all your personal data will be gone from it.

Have you checked the last SIM number in it was yours (I think it's under Track on the WS site)?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
Already did, he never turned it on again. Eventually, just to be safe I blocked my SIM via my provider. So now it can't receive SMS's anymore, so I can't give any commands anymore. But if he puts in another SIM I can track it again plus I know his phonenumber so I can terrorise him, or the second better option is to go to the police with his number:p
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Yeah. If they try to use it, WS servers will find out the number. Have you looked at IMEI barring it (presume you're on GSM) via. your network. But it might be more 'fun' not to. Maybe in a while they'll think the heat is off and turn the phone back on with a SIM...

That's when the 'fun' begins ;) Do the police in Netherlands do anything about this sort of thing? Here in the UK they'll do naff all unless you can tell them who's got it or where it is. That's where WS comes in...

Either that, or you could sign them up to loads of premium-rate reverse-billed SMS subscriptions on their no. (presuming that is legal over there ;) cough cough!) That could be quite amusing to sign them up to all these €3 per SMS ringtone and game services. xD

Disclaimer: This idea was your own. Nobody suggested it to you ;)

[Nexus One General] Phunkiest:
Hi,

It's great to see the Nexus is already been rooted; great job!!! Would it be possible for you master chefs to bake in some more languages, especially Dutch? Don't really care about the system language, but it would come in handy with the onscreen keyboard...

The Nexus currently support very little languages en More Locale doesn't seem to work for me...
[Nexus One General] PiCkLeS:
Search the forums.

1 - If only keaboard - install HTC_IME and adb shell -> edit /data/data/htc.ime.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.* and change number of keyboard to dutch (search for correct, 9=swedish)

2 - Install More Locale
[Nexus One General] rj3005:
- Install morelocale 2

- Install better keyboard

- install language pack for better keyboard

- set language to dutch in morelocale

- Enable better keyboard in setting

- Use long press in text input field to switch to better keyboard keyboard

- Enjoy dutch corrector

Werkt prima
[Nexus One General] Phunkiest:
The HTC_IME doesn't seem to be working for me (I didn't on my G1 as well), but better keyboard does the job!

Would it be possible in future ROM's to include additional languages or is a official release in Dutch needed?
[Nexus One General] PeRKoniX:
I thinking on importing the Nexus One from US to The Netherlands soon. This because our provider "Vodafone" does not mention a definitive release date... only that they will release the nexus one "later this year".

By importing the Nexus One I hope that I can change the language of T9 of the keyboard to dutch so it suggests dutch words. Is this possible? Are the dutch language files already baked into the Nexus One stock ROM?

What do you guys suggest me to do? Wait for official release or import it from US and install additional language (if required)?

Thanks!
[Nexus One General] efeltee:
Flash it with the Cyanogen ROM (or another based on the AOSP) then that includes dutch (& many more).

Original ROM only supports english en some other ones but no dutch ;)
[Nexus One General] Herossie:
How to get Dutch is explained in different thread

for instance: My Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Start.exe

Hope i got my meaning across more clearly.

Do you know of a wifi strength widget, i.e. tells you what the connection strength is when connected.

Tried searching the market, only wifi togglers.

edit: Retro wifi widget does it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Henchman:
Wifi analyzer rocks as well
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
it does, but its not a widget.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djnutz:
I can't remember if the stock theme does this but Nextheme's wifi icon changes in the notification bar depending on strength. I don't know your exact needs but assuming you didn't know that might work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] htcmagic:
I remember there was one with one on the themes for ahome mini. Install it , then go and download widgets from within the app and in there is the wifi widget.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Will that aHome widget work with Home++ ?

I have separate SD,RAM,APP_HDD digital meters...right now the retro analog wifi meter looks like the odd man out. Also looking for a CPU usage 1x1 widget, preferably a vertical progressbar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pjcforpres:
Why do you want a bunch of widgets that are going to run down your battery and slow down your phone?

Stock android, even themed ones, have a wifi icon in the notification bar that tells you the strength of the signal. As for SD usage, not sure why you would have to keep that close of an eye on it to have a widget on your home screens. RAM, well I guess, but the widget itself is going to use up RAM and I don't really think the N1 is at a loss for RAM, to say the least. APPs, I suppose, you can also hold down the home button for a couple seconds and the list of apps running will pop up.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] htcmagic:
It worked on the default home. The widget will be downloaded on the sd card. copy it from there to a sfae place and then get rid off the ahome.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Just used to getting a overview of my superphone status with a glance.

The built wifi-meter always is at 1 or 2 bars, so its not very helpful. Nice to see the actual strength in dBm.

Holding the home button down shows you 6 recent apps, they need not be running. AppSwipe shows you exactly whats running.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mhurg:
I have been wondering for a few days now whether the "Straight Talk" loudspeaker and mic activated by flipping the Rhodium is not the same as the loudspeaker activated by tapping "loudspeaker" when making a call and perhaps someone can enlighted me?

The reason I'm asking is because I have read such raving reviews of the Straight Talk function, with its crystal clear noice cancelled sound and everything, yet when I'm in the car making a call and tap "loudspeaker" I have to talk really loud for the people on the other end to hear me. Also they sometime complain about the sound recieved from me being metallic or having a background hum to it.

So, is the two functions different? And if they are, is there another way to activate Straight Talk than flipping the phone?

Or is my Rhodium faulty?

Any input is very much appreciated!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mhurg:
Noone can help here?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
Yes those functions are different. When you use straight talk it uses the microphone on the back of the rhodium. I don't know if there is another way to activate this function and I don't know why you would do that ;)

Witch rom are you using? In my experience the custom roms have a better sound quality then stock roms. I don't know if it's true but it's just a feeling :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mhurg:
I guess I'm just too used to tapping the loudspeaker button just after dialing... or when recieving calls. Sometimes it doesn't work putting it face down whilst driving, on the passenger seat, and I can't put it face down while it is in a cradle either...

I'm using the latest stock ROM, european version. :-)

It's related to the fact you are turning your phone on, and you have your SIM card set to ask for PIN. So simply turn it off if you don't like it.

Is it possible to use hd2 as a webcam?

I've tried two applications. Webcamera plus and Mobiola.

With Webcamera plus I've managed to display live picture on PC, but it kept blinking all the time and settings were pretty much useless. No changes were seen. It was working with Windows Messenger.

Mobiola was also working, but picture looked terrible on PC. I couldn't managed to get it work with Windows Messenger.

Does anyone have a proper solution?
[HD2 General] Bluecharge:
Its a sad story.

Since a long time there are cams in mobile phones, but developers and coders are sleeping and not aware of the potential.

Your phone as a standalone webcam? Clearly a business need. But simply not possible until now. Its like a Porsche limited to 30 mph.

Skype on a pocket pc? Ok. But without videocall function :(

Since 2006 people are begging for videocall via skype. No chance even in 2010. Developers are simply not interested.

http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=68946

You have wlan and a cam on your device? Nice, but please use it one after another.

Hey guys!

I don't know what happened there my landscape start menu was working fine. It suddenly did not scale when I opened my keyboard on my TP2. I didn't fiddle or play with any settings.

I tried This hack but did not like its performance and wanted to have the original format.

If anybody knows WHY this happens or HOW to fix it I would be very grateful :)

Thank you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
It's not really a bug or any problem, as far as WM's concerned. What happened is you installed a program which replaced the files in \Windows which dictate the Start Menu's properties. When you uninstalled your start menu hack, the cab removed the modified files and restored the original ones. I made a .cab which modifies the Start Menu to be 3 wide in portrait and 5 in landscape, which keeps the icons roughly the same size in both orientations. If you want to give it a shot, download it here. It should in theory work on any WVGA device, but different setups might mean it won't work. If you learn how to edit CPR files and extract .cab files, you can even change the parameters yourself, and make one that's x wide in portrait and y in landscape.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jumper0:
Hello folks,

I appriciate the hard work of all the chiefs. The Roms a most of the time close to perfect.

But, since they are usually customized by the chiefs, they are not 100 % that what I am looking for.

This is why am asking now, if one of chiefs could just bring out a pure windows mobile 6.5.3. update with only the basic stuff in it.

This might be an idea for the other windows versions as well, as some people prefer 6.5.or 6.1 versions.

I thank you folks in advance, if someone eventualy comes up with that rom.

Cheers

Jens
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Rudegar:
100% pure would mean the camera would not work

the optical "joystick" would not work and the led's would not work

everything that x1 got that is not "normal" wm is a customisation
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jumper0:
Well,

let me then adjust:

It would be nice, ifit is a rom as pure as possible, with all the basic features as there is the camera, joystick, led etc.

It should not have other software , like panels, widgets, themes etc.

This would be me request.

OR, if possible, having a software, that would allow me to delete all the precooked stuff that I do not need.

Anya, this is only an idea. Maybe on of the things is possible.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ring-bearer:
I think Christian's clean 6.5.3 ROM is pretty close to what you are hoping for.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jumper0:
Well, I have that one on my X1 right now,

and you are right: It is the closest I can get right now. But there is still a whole lot of MB used in that rom. About 135 Mb. It has alot of themes ands applications in it.

If I look at gtrabs pure 6.5 beta version, which has only about70 MB size.

This is why I suppose, that the 6.5.3 Version could be reduced to a minimum.

This is why I hope, somebody would upload a very pure verison.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] st-mark:
I guess that by the moment the

is the newest one close to what you have asked for.

I have it on the X1 right now, but that rom is unfourtunatly packed with software which I do not need.

Is there a way to get rid of the unneeded software? Like deleting themes and panelmanager. It is not listed in the "remove software" section.

Nevertheless, the rom is quite fast, though not as fast as christians rom is.

@ st-mark: isn't sutys roms a 6.5 rom and not a 6.5.3 rom? I thought he has the windows start button on top and not at the bottom.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jdogg4000:
Hello i would love to here an update compared to christians rom wich is what i am currently using. Speed and Stability is my main concern.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jumper0:
Well, I tried Sutys Roms and the 826x Rom

The 826x Rom was acually pretty nice. It was quite fast and stable, even though it was loaded with a lot of other software. People who like the X2 Stuff should have a lock at that one. (the 826x was marked as a 6.5.5 Rom)

The size of the Rom was about 136 MB as far as I remember.

Compared to Christians Rom I felt, that Christians Rom was a bit more fluent, but almost no difference in Speed and Stayability. The 826x Rom has a different Software package. There were some nice apps included like powerradio, and some other stuff I haven't seen before. So the 826x is worth a try, though it has a lot of software included.

Sutys Basic Rom was a little problematic for me. I had troubles with the screen turning off after waking the device up. This happens two to three times and then I got to the homescreen.

This procedure happend often (well, often: I used the rom for about 8 hours :-). Suty wrote, that this might have been because of the SmartLock Programm. I do not know if other users had the same problem.

Besides that it went quite fast, though in my eyes not as fast as Christians Rom. And there were still some apps I would not have needed.

Finally Sutys Lite Rom:

That one is for me right now the optimal rom. It does not have a lot of fancy apps included. In fact, more or less only the basic and needed stuff to get the X1 working (Including camera etc.).

The Rom Size is about 70 MB or less, as far as I remember.

It is really fast and stayable. No problems yet with this Rom. (Only one activesync thing, but that was not caused by the rom, but by my desktop).

If one needs a real clean and light version, Sutys lite Rom is the one I would recommend.

Cheers

For example...

On Christian 28205 build rom (version 3.904) in 12 hours, phone lost 49% of battery (sleep time, all things off, etc.), but on build 23518 (version 4.001) battery works fine for me now (still testing).
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] st-mark:
Something unbelievable

On the last two days my batteries drained totally in ~16 hours.

Today I used phone in the same intensivity, but I have ~40% else at the end of the day. Fantastic! I'm going to renovate the ROM and use it for few days with NO third-pary software installed.
