[Mogul, XV6800 General] critter308:
I'm new here so please bare with me. I just bought a used Sprint Mogul and I'm looking to "play" with it a bit. Nothing real crazy as I've been scanning this forum over the last few days waiting for my phone to come in the mail and I just want to keep it simple. I have the programs that I want to load on the phone and I don't need to flash the ROM or anything like that to use these. My question is this. Do I need to unlock my phone to add these programs and how do I load them to my phone ? Do I need a special program to do this or can I just use active sync ? The instructions I have to load the programs are pretty simple but they do not tell me how to install them. Just the order to install them and soft reset etc. I have found some really cool things on this forum about my phone but as much as I have learned I also have alot of unanswered questions as well.

Thanks in advance.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] thundaar2000:
Fairly simple....

If the program you want to install is an .exe file, then you will hook your phone up with the usb cable and let active sync do its thing. Then double click the file to install. Active sync will prompt you with the rest.

If the file is a .cab file, then transfer the file the way it is to your microsd card using the active sync browse. Browse to the folder you want to put it then drag and drop or copy/paste. Then on the phone, tap start/programs/ file explorer. Go to where the .cab file is and tap it! Thats all!

If you install a program you dont want installed anymore you can un-install it through start/settings/system remove programs.

Remember... the programs you use every time your phone is on... like dialer skins, today screen themes, rintones, etc install to device memory! Other programs like games, mp3 songs, videos, ebooks, etc can go to the microsd card!!

Good luck!

[Mogul, XV6800 General] critter308:
Thanks for the reply. Sounds pretty simple. I have another question. This is going to sound pretty dumb I'm sure but I'll ask anyway. The programs I'm going to load...will they over write the programs already on the phone ? I understand there is internal memory and this phone seems to be just like a pc. And I know that when memory gets low or used then things tend to slow down and run bad. BTW the programs I'm going to install are Manila2D and a few others. Don't know much about them but a friend of mine had them put on his Mogul and I like the way it looks and runs compared to the "stock" setup.

Thanks again.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] critter308:
I have another question to ask. Is there a way to back up your contacts list ? If I understand it right.....a "hard reset" will wipe your contacts list along with everything else you have put on the phone and not the sd card. Right ?
[HD2 General] Ace Melon:
I tried searching the forums but can't find an answer.

I'm in the UK with a t-mobile HD2

I've followed the instructions and have flashed the HSPL and HTC issue roms

The phone currently sits on

OS Ver

5.2.21869

Manila 2.5.19211619.0

Rom

1.66.405.2

Radio

2.06.51.07

Protocol

15.30.50.07u

The problem is that My email (madasafish server and Hotmail) will only download when I'm connected to the wifi at home (not tried it on any other wifi yet) But will not download over any other connection. I have the data switch toggled to On etc.

Any tips please.

Thanks
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
can you browse the web over mobile data? does weather and such like work when not connected to wifi?
[HD2 General] Obelix_A:
I've got nearly the same problems.

Email will be fetched via WiFi, and (!!) if data connection is OFF :?

If the data connection is on, the email client shows an error. (and - that refers not directly to that email problem - sometimes the data connection loses login information and cannot connect)

you see - you are not alone, but unfortunately I cannot offer a solution...

[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
T-Mob UK sets up a proxy by default, but strangely it won't actually work with it. You just have to disable the proxy settings and it should all work ok.

Settings | Connections | Set up my proxy server, then un-tick the 'This network uses a proxy' box.
[HD2 General] Ace Melon:
That seems to have done the trick. Many thanks.

Will it need turning back on for any reason??
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
No, there is no reason that I have found to need to turn it back on. I have no idea why they have set it up that way in the first place.

Good luck and now you can enjoy your phone.

Next you will want to get rid of that crappy stock ROM and get one of the chef's ROMs on your device so it will really fly :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kfeinman:
I had a cell phone when it was in the trunk of my car. Now I have this HTC Tilt 2 and Im enjoying it but I got a glitch and its annoying.

I tried to follow all of the instructions here. I have Total Commander, Advanced Config Tool, a Registry editor, an un istaller and I have got I think all the bloatware out. Google Maps works OK as does Skyfire.

Problem is somehow I did something to turn off the communications menu in the settings area of the Touch Flo. It flashes and doesnt load. I cant acess airplane mode. Is there a setting I messed up
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ah23:
It Looks like you might have Uninstalled the Comm Manager by accident, that or disabled it with Advanced config check through what you did when you goof with the registry you can make some unwanted changes, you might need to reflash/hard reset your phone to get it back to normal then make the changes again
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ah23:
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/05/20/htc-touch-diamond-comm-manager.html

Download that install it onto your phone and see if it restores the comm manager option before you do anything drastic, It should restore it, install onto the phone then do a soft reset (hold power button until it asks you if you want to turn off, click yes, then turn it back on)

Good Luck
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmartburrito:
Hey there,

I'm wondering if my CPU is ramping up and stepping down appropriately. Is there an ADB command that can be ran at any time to see what the CPU speed is set to? I tried dumpsys but it wrapped my screen so fast I couldn't find anything. basically it took a dump on me literally. Should have expected that.

I'd like it to be in ADB as that way I can check when the screen is off and keep from interacting with the screen as I'm sure that would ramp it up to full speed. Thanks!!

****EDIT*****

Found what I was looking for from an ADB standpoint, although I would still like to know how to do it from DDMS also, as that tool is my new friend.

1. start a shell session (adb shell),

2. then run "cat /proc/cpuinfo" to get the BogoMIPS.

And then your good friend the up arrow to save some typing :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeroMeng:
Go into tools directory and just run ddms, not adb. Should open up a convenient window. Lotsa goodies in there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
i am interested in this as well, or maybe even an app that shows what the current clock is, like on windows mobile i used homescreen ++ to show in the system tray what the cpu was doing.

but then again, i used to watch that and obsess over it so maybe that's a bad idea
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmartburrito:
Wow, what a wealth of cool info!

However, I'm still enough of a noob to this particular tool that I can't find the CPU speed. Can you steer me in the right direction HeroMeng or others? Thanks!!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassyness77:
Anyone know how this is possible, ive read of older ideas but they do not work anymore...

Maybe we ned different apn settings?

My friend told me he recieved picture mail without the data plan when his phone switched to at&t up north...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
your friend probably caught a glitch... when i had a blackberry i could use the internet on it without a data plan or wifi, but everything else that came with the data plan didn't work.

however, i also didn't know you had to have the data plan for mms to work. i thought this came with the messaging plan? then again i use t-mobile. i take it your on at&t or something? i have a friend who has a g1 with no data plan and he sends me picture messages. (he's also on t-mobile)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassyness77:
im on t mobile. i have unlimited messaging but from day 1 could never send an mms or recieve one. there used to be a have with the apns but it doesnt work anymore.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
waaaat? i've always got them without any data plan whatsoever. and i know the people who send them to me don't have one. o.O maybe we're just lucky and i should shut my mouth before t-mobile finds out. :p

edit: dunno about mytouch, though. i've always had a data plan on this. but blackberry didn't need one and nor did any other phone. but all my other phones before blackberry weren't considered "smartphones."
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassyness77:
weird...

yeah, i cant download the mms message, pressing the button to downlad does nothing...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
like you can't see the picture you get? or it just tells you that you have a mms and you have to download? it never asks me anything like that. i've seen another person say that they can't download mms (even with data plan because of an error), but i just get the mms without clicking download.

o.O maybe they don't actually have a data plan, though. people here seem to tend to leave out the most important details. i don't know how to help, though. i would have put money on it you could get a picture message without a data plan as long as you had texting.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassyness77:
are you sure you have a G1?! ha but i thought everone had to dowload the mms before you could actually see it. Thats all ive heard and if been trying to find the answer for a year and a half! I thought it was wierd that whe my friend when up north and it switched to AT&T he was able to recieve picture messages. I get a notification that says 0 new messages which is weird...but then i have the message in the thread with only a download button. i have an "mms notification" it says when i long press and click details on the message.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassyness77:
anyone?

Is there other people who can recieve mms without the data plan on t mobile?

I do have unllimited messaging, and i could recieve them on everyother phone i owned except my g1.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
i have a mytouch, and no i never have to click download... i gust get a new msg and it has a little paper clip on it and it shows directly up... now thats for PICTURE... ones that have music or something i have to click download but as for pictures not once have i had to download... am i supposed to have to click download on picture? lol. that's odd as hell.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
What's up everyone. If u have a g1 or my touch with tmobile and u don't have a data plan and u can send and receive mms please post ur apn settings. I think that's why we are here. Thanks.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hurlamania:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imfocused:
i am having the same issue except sometimes i get the pics and sometimes i don't i think it depends on the size and maybe what network the sender is on. I changed some settings and started getting pics but when I tried it again i'm not getting them. still working on it. I have a G1
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eric3043:
I have a G1 with the new prepaid plan and no data plan, i can recieve pictures and videos but i cant send any at all. Does anyone know why?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athakur999:
Your phone has to have a data connection to receive MMS. With MMS, the network basically sends your phone a special SMS message containing a URL and your phone then loads the URL to retrieve the full MMS message.

You shouldn't need a data plan to use MMS as your carrier should charge visits to that URL as MMS and not regular data usage, but you do still need your carrier's APN setup in your phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungSinema:
So, what are the APN settings for T-mobile?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acceleratum:
I have a similar problem, I get free mms from my carrier but to receive them I need to turn on data, If its off I receive a message with download button but it says: cant download atm, try again later. If I have data on it downloads perfectly. To do this you need to have 2 apns configured, one for net and one for mms, on your provider webpage there should be the configurations you need around the suport areas, or ask someone with same phone and carrier to copy them.

My problem is that I have a data plan, and so when I turn on the data it starts synchronizing, downloading mails etc... and wastes my limited badwidth.

Now I do remember on my stock phone I used to be able to grab mms with data off.. anyone have a clue about how to do it? or some app that blocks net but not the mms?

OK two things.

1) Hard-SPL flash worked fine, tested on 2 devices (thanks conflipper+drellisdee) and I will do the final Hard-SPL files by tomorrow. I'll post here when that's ready for a last formal test. do not nag testers for any files until then, they are far from final (not all features included in HardSPL).

2) can the people who know how to use mtty, do the following check:

enter bootloader and do "info 8"? and if the result does NOT show "samsung_kby00n00hm" for DEVICE NAME, then PLEASE post the different DEVICE NAME here! this is just in case there are imagios with a different nand version (my code should handle that, but I like to check things out properly). thanks!

[Nexus One General] mardox:
ok so i am 99% sure i will buy the nexus one, i just have some concerns.

for one i have been hearing ever since the phone was released about the dust issue, also heard that htc knows about this and would fix what was needed. so the qeustion about this is if this is a valid reason for me to hold of on buying a nexus one?

the second thing is that i am not sure i want to root yet (probably willl^^) but the concern is that the stock kernel as i understand it only supports half of the ram in the nexus one leaving the other half useless. will google deploy a kernel update anytime soon and how much does it show when using the stock device that such a big part of the ram isn´t used?

thanks in advance
[Nexus One General] Red MacGregor:
ignore the fud... hundreds of thousands of people are very happy with their stock N1..

if you get it, and are not happy with stock... you got options.

can't say that about the other contenders.
[Nexus One General] crazy talk:
i got mine yesterday.

the screen itself seems fine. the screen cover isn't peeling up but i have a rather large spec of dust under it? no idea if it was there from when it was built or magically worked it's way under there...

good thing it has a 12 month hardware warranty i guess? i wonder if unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty for something so obviously unrelated.
[Nexus One General] crazy talk:
just got off the phone with HTC support. if you root/unlock the boot loader the entire warranty is voided. even if it has dust under the screen.

hopefully someone figures out how to relock it soon..

but ANY dust under the screen will be enough of a reason for a hardware replacement within the 12 month warranty period if you haven't done anything to void the warranty.
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
I've had mine since launch with no dust issues. The RAM thing was originally brought up by Google developers who said they are working on implementing it.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Also had mine since launch with no dust issues or any other bugs! It still flies with the current ram (should get more ram update from google soon). Play with it a while before you want to root!
[Nexus One General] crazy talk:
does the N1 really only have 256MB of ram currently accessible? that would explain why i only tend to have ~110MB of ram free after shutting all applications down.

and seriously, 10 minutes in the hacking and development sections or the theme area and you want to root.
[Nexus One General] mr_skot:
+1

Been very happy. Never had a problems with dust or the stock rom. Plenty of customization options out there for the stock N1's too.

Go for it and it you have smooth sailing after a few months maybe you'll root it.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
the dust issue is a very isolated and rare case... you will get a new phone no charges toward you if you have this issue...

as for the stock kernel, there is plenty of memory... i ran stock for the first month and a half before i rooted to the dark side... never had a big slow down issue and even then just get a task manager... i was getting like 100mb of ram on stock with almost everything closed
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Yes on only 256MB active on the N1! There is a hack in development if you need more and can't wait for the ota.

True about the fun after root for most, but this was the op's 1st post. ;)
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Two things... what does "fud" mean? As for the 256mb, it hasn't been an issue yet. My phone's logged over 220 hours of uptime without any slowdowns and I haven't killed a single task in that time. Stock ROM..not rooted and locked bootloader. I'm confident that Google will update the kernel soon...hopefully along with a better tweak to the 3G connectivity.

Re: Internet link/icon/homepage

Sounds like something in the registry that defaults it all the time. If you have Total Commander or PHMEdit (or any other registry editor), you might have some luck in locating the persistent URL.

My TP2 is from Sprint, and it comes stock with IE mobile, of course, but when launching internet through TF3D, it's actually launching Opera Mobile. Don't know if it's the same in your case, but if it is, you'd have to change your homepage in Opera settings. Hope this helps.

This has been described previously. You need to edit an XML file.

1. Use Resco Explorer or Total Commander on your phone and navigate to Application Data/Manila/InternetPortal-en-US.XML

2.Copy the XML file to your Storage Card

3. Transfer file to your computer

4. Hold down right mouse key and click on properties and un-tick the attribute read only,

5. Use notepad to open the XML file and change the entry NavigateURL=att.net to whatever you want.

6. Save the file and change attribute back to read only

7. Put back in your Storage Card and then move to Application Data/Manila on your phone.

8. Reset your phone.

I have seen that you need to change to a cooked version of Manilla to change it from "reply all" to "reply" when in an email so I don't hold much hope [I am not happy to do this even though I would like this feature] but do wonder if this is possible.
