dislike. someone can lock thread. i will admit that there is something to android. and as android dual booting improves i may have it as my primary os on the phone. but as for the hardware, nothing seems to beat my rhodium. i look forward to rhodium android but i wont switch for a nexus one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] da9th_one:
I once said "windows mobile sucks" and quickly ditched my mda and scooped up an iphone...i got rid of that crap within two weeks ( no multi-tasking, editing of documents ect).

after trading the iphone on craigslist for a g1, I soon realized android needed some serious growing up to do ( no intergrated exchange support at the time, no editing of documents). I then found myself digging my mda out of the drawer and sliding my sim card back into its warm and familiar slot...

sure, wmo has its quirks, bugs, and annoyances, but living without the wmo goodness is something I shall not do again...

p.s. I'm not forced to use an app store or market place to correct those pesky quirks, bugs, and annoyances either...

What's crazy is that I would hit so many nerves win his thread. Last I knew this was an poen forum. I liked my Rhodium, but there came a time when I could not ignore the fact that the base OS is old as HELL!!!

That said, don't get angry guys, this thread is for those thinking of switching. With so many of you, dedicated and adamant, I am sure they wont be missed. And you may say what you wish, but there comes time where we must become productive, with our phone being a tool, than being a productive tool for our phone. Come on guys? How many hours have we spent tinkering? Lets not get it confused. I loved to do it as well, but to what end?

I believe Android is a reasonable medium. Lets not get offended, lest you show more of your hand than intended. Imagine taking it personally!?!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
You posted in a forum full of 'above-and-beyond' winmo users, with acrimonious tone about how you think the OS is horrible for everybody, not just incompatible with your personal needs....and you're surprised to have gotten some charged responses...?? I think the protestants tried that with the catholics once, might want to ask them how that went, before they all realized there was plenty of room here for everybody's preferences, without having to disparage others' *ahem*

I'm guessing you also probably believe you're actually getting that 4MB+ downlink speed on your 3G that you've proudly posted there :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jcterry:
Do me a favor, and you have to be honest. Come back in a month and list all of the problems you have had with your new phone along with a list of the problems you had with the Rhodium. Also, list the pros and cons for your new device and the Rhodium. If you're going to renounce the Rhodium (much less in a Rhodium forum) and want to convice others to do the same, at least have some info/data to back it up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] carhigh:
rename the thread atleast. Wasted time waiting to load this thread to read crap i dont care to read. Stupid

A Windows Mobile phone is only as useful, or useless, as its owner.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jmmmmm:
You dont tinker with your NEXUS? Really?... :rolleyes: You dont go through the Android App Store looking for apps that might be cool and useful?

Are you really trying to persuade someone to switch phones? Why do you care? I mean really... what would it benefit you if even one person agreed with you enough to switch phones?

Your just trying to get a rise out of readers here. Be honest... I dont fault you for it... as long as your honest about it. :)

I had chompSMS installed but after a short while I would recieve a notification saying I had a new message, from the default app even if I didnt have a new message present. The notification would take me to the default messaging app, with no new messages. I uninstalled chomp, but it's still happening. I have notifications currently disabled in the default messaging applicaion.

Using Cyanogen's latest ROM from NexusOne.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] batpot:
I'm trying to connect my Sprint TP2 to my car stereo's bluetooth.

It works great for streaming audio from my phone, but when I try to make or receive a call, it's as if it's not even connected. If I call from the phone, and then click the connect button on the stereo a few times, it will connect, but then only for a second or 2 before it drops off again. The phone call never gets lost, it just doesn't work like a hands-free headset should.

What is interesting though, is if I'm playing a song from my phone, then the head set portion works exactly as it should.

I tried another phone, a Treo800, and it works as is should; you can make and receive calls as you would w/ any headset, and doesn't have to be connected via the audio profile first.

Any suggestions?

The TP2 can have some weird behavior with bluetooth car kits due to the Widcomm bluetooth stack. I applied the fix in thread linked above and haven't had any problems since with the Tilt 2 and my Acura's bluetooth system.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] batpot:
thanks, I'll give that a shot tonight.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] batpot:
didn't work for me; exactly the same behavior as before.

Additionally, the BDAddr key in HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BtConfig\General always resets itself when i reboot my phone (the instructions say to set the value to "no value").

I even tried changing the key type, and it reverted to binary upon reset.

I'll keep searching, but in the meantime, any other suggestions?

Hi guys,

I've got a weird issue that seems to be happening only with my girlfriend when she calls me and/or I call her, but mostly when she calls me. Sometimes she will call me and I pick up and I can hear her but she can't hear me. It seems to be only her that is experiencing this, and I'm not hitting the mute key or putting her on hold accidentally or anything of the sort... if I call her back immediately then everything is fine... just wondering if anyone else is experiencing something similar/has a solution?

Thanks in advance!

I have exactly the same intermittent issue when I dial home and speak to my wife - every so often I can hear her and she is unable to hear me.

Hasn't happened with other numbers?
[Nexus One General] dondian:
I was very pissed off when that happened to me couple of times..

I'm not sure, but after that i was looking for the "audio settings" and one of the switches was set to 0,.. not sure if that was the case but i hope it was.

Will play some more with that once i get my second nexus :)

[Nexus One General] Ellises:
I am having this issue to when I call my mom who is on Verizon, and a few other friends. For me it happens randomly in the call, nothing gets muted or put on hold, I can hear them, but they can't hear me, so it usually ends up in them hanging up cause they thought I hanged up lol. This issue is still present after the OTA update, but I haven't tried it on a custom ROM yet.
[Nexus One General] vicsingh71:
ive had this issue w/tmobile in general. ive been using unlocked phones in the past, however. dont know if that makes a difference...used phones like the iphone and htc touch hd. i usually have to redial and its fine but once in a while it will happen. i have the nexus 1 w/stock rom. no OTA update yet. :(

Hey my phone was acting up after I attempted to update my Cyanogen mod from 4.2.11.1 to the latest, and it removed all my google apps. So I attempted a couple things then mixed up my RC7 dreaimg.nbh with the rc29 dreaimg.nbh. now the hboot screen wont let me boot up the dreaimg.nbh saying 0002800 or something. What can I do to get back to rc29? ::confused:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] yoshiki:
been using diamond for quite sometime now.. the touchflo is nice, but i think it slowers the phone down quite a little.. thinking of removing it totally.. is it possible? how? those who have done it, does it speed up the phone by quite a bit?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Veliky_Magistr:
a good idea

I`ve done it with my diamond and installed the SPB Mobile Shell, works great, much faster than the touchflo, if u want to disable the touchflow go to settings->private tab->today->items-> remove the checkmark from touchflo 3d
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] yoshiki:
thanks for the reply.. any others have tried totally removing it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rajeshjha84:
Unless u changes your ROM, you can not remove it totally as it comes with ROM. As far as speed is concern, removing totally is equivalent to disabling it.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] knoppies:
I bought a second hand O2 XDA atom exec recently. So far I like the phone, except it seems a bit sluggish sometimes (compared to my HTC harrier WM2003) and the wifi will NOT turn on. I tried using the O2 wireless manager, and the WM wi-fi utility. They both fail to turn the wifi on. The wifi self diagnostic returns "GetAdapterInfo() return FALSE..."

After doing some web searching I am aware that it has 802.11b. I figured that its probably a driver issue. From what I understand the only way to install drivers is to flash it with a ROM that has working wifi.

Im not sure whether to stick with WM5 or move to WM6.

My current:

WM 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)

Version:

CMOS: 55.44

ExtRom: EX0033

Hardware: C1

Radio: R060822N_MN2ARC_RS00013

ROM: 20060721B1WWE

Ive noticed that most ROMs don't state if bluetooth/wifi/FMradio is working, or which input methods work, (ie. transcriber, block recognizer etc). Is there a way to tell without installing it on the device first?

Thinking of using either: (it won't let me post links.)

ROM upgrade froze at 73%

In fear of bricking my phone I decided to stick with WM5, I downloaded one of the official ROMs from the wiki. The update froze at 73% (I left it over night), so I downloaded another ROM (off the same page) and now its also frozen at 73%.

Anybody know why its freezing at that point?

Any advice to get my phone into a working state again? I'm thinking of trying a WM6 rom.

Im starting to wish I had done a ROM dump before I started.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, when I soft-reset the phone it says "Update Utility" and nothing more.

Tried a WM6.1, still gets stuck at 73%. Anybody know whats going on?

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] Blogpostwriter:
I had an O2 XDA atom exec and so far when i had i was able to use the wifi promptly without any hassle. I just turned on the wifi and searched a connection then poof, i started browsing the net already. The battery however drained fast. If you are having trouble with the wifi, as you have stated that it gives error issues maybe you should have it reprogrammed or check if first if you have open wifi connections.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
I have tried searching the forum for weather updates, weather not updating, weather updating intervals, weather update registry keys...

My weather stopped updating today. I don't know why. I thought maybe I fubar'd a setting when applying tweaks via Advanced Config, but nothing looks wonky in the settings I applied.

I click the weather tab, in the status corner it says updating and a little orb spins...and spins...after a few minutes I click update status, it still just sits and thinks.

I have gone through my registry, and nothing seems out of whack, so I am not sure what I am missing, and why this won't update my weather. I really don't want to try a hard boot to fix it...even with programs backed up, its a pain in the ass.

One last thing...I did change my radio rom 2 days ago. The one that went with the Tmous update had me dropping calls something crazy, so I went back to the radio rom that was first on the TP2 when it was still 6.1.

My calls don't drop now, but my weather stopped updating. Could the radio rom change somehow not be playing nice with the 6.5 rom?

Thanks in advance.

PS--I have yet to find a cooked rom that suits my needs so for the time, I am running a stock Tmous 6.5 rom with radio version 3.46 something or another...(its late for me and brain farts happen regularly at this time)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Are you, by any chance, using My Location for your weather? My Location requires the use of certain radios in order to work properly, and the recent change of radio ROM would explain this issue. The only radios known to work with My Location are 4.49.25.17 and 4.49.25.05, though there was a radio released recently which might work with My Location, though an older one certainly wouldn't work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
How do I disable it? I have tried via settings, but it seems to re-engage itself...assuming I am thinking of the same thing of which you mentioned. I went to Add Location and manually typed in my position and it updated without any issue...but the page one weather report seems to be stuck in updating hell.

EDIT...

after finally getting the location settings to NOT re-engage, the weather will not even consider updating...no updating hell loop...it just says "screw you"...so I will assume my radio rom is to blame. Do you know if the most recent one is stable? I guess if faced with having the weather, or dropping calls, I'll just remove the weather tab. It is just a nice feature, so if I can find a radio that won't be filled with static or dropping, I'd be happy to switch roms again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I have, as many others have as well, had excellent results with 4.49.25.17. Your mileage may vary, since factors like geography and network play a huge role, but you can always switch back if necessary.

I personally don't use My Location for my weather though. If you manually add your location, then tap on the home tab's clock and choose your manual entry, you probably don't even have to change radios, as it will now show your manual entry on the homescreen instead of My Location. You can probably update then
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
YOU ROCK

I installed the rom you mentioned so that I could make sure I covered everything...as soon as I did the rom change, the weather updated without issue. Definitely the rom and My Location not playing nice with each other. I can't remember if this radio is the one that came installed with the Tmous update, but I will give it a try. Since you are in Sacto, I will assume it should work favorably for me as I am only 2 hours away in Fresno.

I do know that whatever radio came with the 6.5 update gave me major issues.

I appreciate you taking the time to brainstorm with me...you know the old adage of KISS...keep it simple stupid...the one place I never considered looking was in the my locations area of the settings.

Again I thank you for your time.

PS--if I decide to go back to my old radio, I will try your tip about manually setting everything and updating from the homescreen.

EDIT---DUH, it says right in my siggy what radio version was included in the update...wow I have had a long day and must be even more tired than I first thought!! Changed my siggy and added a note to myself for my swiss cheese brain.
[HD2 General] alecs:
Does anyone have a page from the HTC manual or a website or a picture showing the screen where you set a pin to unlock the phone?

This is in Settings\Security\Phone lock

The reason I ask is that the MS Exchange administrators set a policy on my mailbox for my device to enforce a PIN - they were just testing. When they removed it I believe it changed the GUI where you set the PIN

The GUI to unlock the device is the same but the setup screen is now a very finger unfriendly GUI and I am sure it was not like that before
