Sry I'm new so I can't post any links but searching "google sync" in google should return correct link in first result.

My suggestion - don't sync mail, it's buggy. Better use IMAP for gmail and sync only contacts / calendar.

If "set up your device..." link is dead (that was my case also) try searching ActiveSync menu for "server source" or something like that (my ROM is localized so I don't know how it's called in English version). When done proceed as in tutorial about google sync. My ROM is WM6.1 but 6.5 should work the same way.

YES I was able to fully sync contacts & calendar that way with my google account. Syncing works both ways and if you set it up correctly it will push any new or updated items almost instantly between account and a phone.
[Touch HD General] ASK768:
It works!

I though it tried it but i guess not. Thanks for the reply and welcome to the forums :D
[Touch HD General] TheBrilliantMistake:
Android uses its own internal google sync to make sure your contacts and calendar etc are synced with Google's servers.... GOOD

Windows Mobile is ALSO supported by Google who are using Exchange server!!!...you can sync over the air with ActiveSync (m.google.com)... look on Google's support site or search for "Google ActiveSync"... note, Google only supports Contacs, Calendar and Mail sync (push), it does not support tasks or notes.

Works flawlessly for me, except for STUPID HTC messing with the 'notes' field in my contacts. This is a HTC bug, so beware.

So basically, IF you use Google for your contacts and Calendar, you can keep WinMo and Android in perfect sync :-)
[Touch HD General] whitefalcon:
I just tried it using this link which shows the instructions on how to do it... but incase your are having syncin problems after followin the instructions uncheck the tasks option when asked wht you want to sync....

So in other words your contacts and your calendar will be in sync :D

I wanted to buy the tilt 2/Rhodium but now since windows phone 7 is ditching basically every phone on the market and really the progress of android on the Rhodium isnt as far along as my Kaiser yet (which is understandable)and ive pretty much seen all there is to see with Winmo6.5.5 on my Fuze should i just wait until android is a little more funtional on the rhodium or wait until the At&t android devices come out later this year

Android is a very nice OS with a lot of functionality. Haven't used it beyond basic usage, but it seems very responsive. If you like the android look at this option:

i'm testing it right now on my tp2 i'll let you know my thoughts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] slapshot30:
It all depends on what you want out of your phone. For me personally, I really like a full keyboard plus a touch screen. From what I've seen, WP7 is just a touch screen and no keyboard. Also, the whole layout of everything does not look that enticing to me. But that's just my opinion, like I said, it's just whatever fits your needs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] LJKelley:
I would personally wait to see atleast more detail on WP7S. MIX is this month, which will give a clearer picture for developers and thus what 3rd party applications and hubs are gonna be like. Also you should see more hardware prototypes, like the LG that did have a keyboard (so that shouldn't be a concern).

Then if you decide to get a Touch Pro 2/Tilt 2, the deals should be better. Or honestly you would probably prefer to move to an OS that will be supported in the future, regardless of it is Android or WP7S. There should be several WP7S devices to choose from in the Holidays. Atleast 2 (one with and one without keyboard) from HTC, and atleast one from LG, Samsung, and SonyEricsson.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] apax:
let me know how this turns out?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
I really like it up until I flip it to landscape. starts looking like this:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
If I were in your position, I would personally wait for awhile. AT&T typically offers their standard HTC Windows Mobile smartphone with sliding keyboard for a year since its release, so you should have until around mid-October 2010 before they'll stop stocking it, and you can still buy it for awhile after then until they completely sell all their inventory. If you don't like the other Android devices on AT&T, you can still buy the Tilt2. If you buy the Tilt2 now, you'll still have to deal with Windows Mobile for awhile since porting takes a long time for a fully working build, and even longer for a native ROM. So unless you REALLY want a new Tilt2 right now, I'd wait and see if any superior options enter the market beforehand, since you have quite a while before you are stopped from buying the Tilt2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rajuabju:
There's ALWAYS going to be the 'next best thing' right around the corner.

Who knows, maybe WM7 gets delayed a year. Maybe by the time WM7 is out, they've already announced plans for 7.5 or 8.0 or whatever.

My suggestion is ... if you need a phone now, the TP2 is a GREAT option. If you dont need a phone, then wait until a better option comes along and reassess.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
Have you worked it in landscape mode?

I might give it a go later today, but so far it just doesn't seem as polished as spb + mobile sense.

question if i intsall the spb+mobile sense, will i lose my touchflo3d or can i switch back and forth on these apps?

If you install both of those there is a program which allows you to switch between all of them. Shell TF3d Titanium switcher:

I recently signed up for Orange Internet/Houseline service and they gave us a 'smartbox' from with a Jungo logo. I seem to have a wireless network, but it only works with my Windows 7 machines, and I'm unable to connect to it with the WM6.5 device. I am however, able ot connect to an older router I had lying around - So for sure the WM6.5 wifi is working.

Any suggestions- clues?

HI!

I have got an xda Serra and I have noticed all this stuff about flashing or cooking a new rom onto the HTC touch to upgrade it to be able to run WM 6.5.

This is something I would like to do however I am a complete dummie when it comes to technical stuff to do with the phone and I have already tried some stuff that is supposed to work on the HTC touch but it does not work on my xda Serra.

Does anybody know of an indipendant phone shop that may have a technician who knows what to do and has cooked many other xda Serras and can safely complete the process on my phone, so I know it will work and I will succcessfuly have WM 6.5 and will not damage my phone.

I live in wiltshire however do not mind traveling up to london or other city's around the south!

Any ideas are gratefully recieved!!!!!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] evilc:
Its not rocket science mate, all you generally need to do is flash hardSPL (To recover the phone should you do something wrong), then pick the ROM you want (Make sure you have a ROM for the right phone!), download it and run the EXE. Its as simple as that.

I doubt a shop would do a ROM flash. The ROMs are third party software effectively, and I would not imagine a shop would want to get involved with modding your phone.

Besides, once you flash ROM once, you will probably want to do it again when a better one comes out. Best learn yourself...
[Nexus One Accessories] worry:
It is not a secret, that charging over data cable is slower, rather than over electrical plug. I think it is due to USB max current is 500mAh, while my direct charger output in 1000 mAh.

I wondering if the same is relevant to car chargers. I'm having the one of so-called USB Car Chargers, which has the USB plug as output, than you connect it to your phone thru the data cable.

If I buy a usual mini-usb car charger, would I get any benefits in charging speed?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Accessories] Red MacGregor:
usb max current is 500ma on the spec, you can draw much more than that over the copper.. as long as it's not being regulated by "compliant" circuitry/drivers, you should be able to draw 1000ma
[Nexus One Accessories] Wickedchild:
Ive been looking into this tonight, and I checked my GF's iPhone wall charger (which is basically a wall USB charger) and it outputs 1000ma as well, and ive found a few usb car chargers putting out 700, 800, and even over 1000ma... only problem i have is i need it to be compact... i currently have a 500ma one in the car but that didnt seem to really charge the phone...
[Nexus One Accessories] worry:
The reason I am asking is similar:

When I am driving with gps and 3G turned on my phone is never fully charged. In fact, it seems it even uncharging a bit. I am wondering if the same happening with usual mini-usb car charger.

And if I want to buy new on ebay, they never specify the mAh parameter.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
I bought a 1000mAh USB car charger for a couple bucks at monoprice.com.
[Nexus One Accessories] JHaste:
same here... when i have the turn by turn going on full brightness and such it does uncharge a bit over time... but look on the bright side, its not getting raped as much as it would be if it were just using the battery :P

Install Uzeb CallHistory Tab Sense 2.5 WVGA(Non ManilaTV user).cab.

Also install Callhistory to manila settings so you could change Callhistory tab position.

All cabs attached.

I'm not sure if it a freezing problem or it just won't accept any input

Basically after my Kaiser has been on charge overnight I will get around to using it and can't. What will happen is the screen & buttons will not work, although they can be used for a split second every 3 seconds.

After a reset everything is back to normal, so I'm not sure what the problem is, I don't have a lot of programs installed and only 1 has been install in the past month which is A2DP Today Toggle, so far I've un-installed it and left it again but I still have the problem.

Thanks for any help

I have a similar problem. In the morning i have to soft rest the phone for it to work. Issues started after 6.5 upgrade. There must a solution somewhere in here..........
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dcarr622:
Does a hard reset fix the problem? Does this happen with every ROM you've tried?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] matt_l:
I have only stuck with the official rom, I bought it on 6.0 and then updated to 6.1 after it's release. A hard reset does fix it but some time after it will return, bear in mind this has never done it previously just about a month ago.

I guess it might be a issue with some program that is being installed :confused:

I've googled but I don't know whether the copybit and overlay .so are related to the touchscreen.

I guess I could try building from different sources, is it worth it? There are a few different kernel sources we could choose from (yesterday's kernel was android-msm-2.6.29-donut).

If HTC/TMo would just release the damn source already... (or least somehow figure out what hardware is different from the Magic 32A, so that drivers could be compiled accordingly on a 32A source).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
We have, 3 files. There is a new touch screen so the driver fo rthat, then a second driver for it im not sure of, then the driver for the 3.5mm jack.

That is the only differences. I wish it was harder, but its not lol. We just cant get them to incorporate properly. All the OP did was take the Fender kernel and put it in these roms and got lucky, at least what I can see. So we will have to wait till one of us gets the OTA update from tmobile, and get it off the phone and go from there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Unless we can figure a way to pull the drivers from the kernel. Then maybe we can toss them into the source and rebuild it.

I'm sure that there has to be a way. JesusFreke! Where are you when we need you?

Curious... if we can't unpack the kernel then why can't we just pull the appropriate files from the device once it's already booted and then rebuild the kernel from source with those files that we pulled? What files are they and what is the directory? It's definitly not (or at least just) /system/lib/hw.

Don't forget the OP.
