Boys and Girls, just wanted to say hello to you all.
I have recently been given an XDAII for work purposes and found I needed some expert advice on usage and accessories etc. Needless to say, this is by far the best site I have been using :wink:
Just thought i had better register as it looks like it will be a long term relationship :?
Many thanks
Jonathan

Hi everybody, I just got my o2 xda2 today and have been looking at the site for about a week, Im just wondering what are the essential upgrades to make to the xda2?!! I have had a browse of the forum and to be honest I dont really understand what most of the stuff is about, But I am willing to learn (im not totally thick) So could someone please tell me the essentials to heve or do to these pocket wonders, also if anyone has links to some decent free games I would appreciate it very much, I like my simulation games, like Sim City etc,
Regards Marc

Hello Folks,
Noob just joined as I just purchased an M3100 from ebay. Its unlocked and has been upgraded to WM6. I was offered a M3100 as an upgrade (with orange) back in august but I chose the Nokia N95 instead. I'm a phone/gadget freak. Always loved playing with phones, upgrading, changine software etc. Had a few smartphones in the past and have had one windows based phone (SPV E200).
I liked it, I thought it was a nice change from the usual simple phone menus and software. Mucked about with that too, installing unlock software etc. My N95 I've already debranded and added several after market progs.
Anyway enough babbling. Followed this forum for quite a while as I've always hankered after a TYTN even though I have an N95. Had some extra cash (birthday) so I got myself one . Cant wait to muck about with roms etc. Oh yeah umm, and hi!!
A senior member with a junior attitude, very nice
Welcome to the hermes forums.
Most new members find in a short time that asking questions that have been asked already will get them flamed by other members, espically senior members.
Wait I'm a senior member....
Seriously though you will love tinkering with all the stuff here. I love it. But this is not a forum where you can introduce yourself as a new member(as you have seen)That's a HowardForums or Brighthand kind of thing..
You will hear this more than once: "read the wiki". Words to live by.
For a head start:
Install HardSPLv7 (2.10 Olipro)
Find a rom you like (cant go wrong with shaps or Vp3g)
Perhaps a new radio (gotta try em all to see if they are good/bad for your area)
Lots of guys have done great work in here, so enjoy the fruits of their labor...
Oh yeah and if you find your incall volume to low, try the vp3g with setacoustic i served up.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342174
Anyway welcome and good luck, hopefully it's your only flame....
very nice intrglctcrevfnk
I would only add one thing...
truscotsman72 should also check out THE MRVANX GUIDES for great upgrade assistance.
Otherwise, a very nice introduction to the forums. One other thought (now that I think of it) which may help explain the rather cool reception our noob friend received. These forums got their origins as an exchange of very technical information between devlopers - like the nearly-godlike Olipro, pof, MrVanx, duttythroy, sleuth, jasjamming, vp3g, schaps, faria and many, many others.... The more mundane "support-like" helpers like lowly old me is a rather new phenomenon that only starts once the ROM world gets more stable. We have achieved that in Hermes WM6 world. It is (as you have witnessed) a mixed blessing.
Either way, welcome to XDA-Developers, warts and all.
Thx guys, yeah I have the wiki page bookmarked and been reading through this site for hours. Very informative and interesting, which is why I joined. As for the welcome, it was just force of habit as with most forums you introduce yourself. Didn't mean to p*ss anybody off, just thought that was no way for a noob to be spoken to for saying hello (ok I did go on a bit). And I have the MRVANX guides bookmarked too, cheers
Well I received my M3100 this morning, nice machine, instruction book like a bible, but I'm having fun with it anyway. The GPRS doesn't work (something about settings) but google is my friend, oh and Device Information is:
Rom: Pro Black 3.0.1
Radio: 1.16.00.00

I assume you are in scotland? In your profile you can save what carrier and location you are. Helps for others to know in case you need help.
There is a page around here somewhere that has connection settings for different carriers somewhere....
I'll add it to this post when I find it.
Its ok, I got the GPRS settings from this site by searching, its up and running now. I can surf the net, only problem I have now is, how to disconnect when done surfing. I guess I should RTFM
As for Device Info, yeah I'm gonna stick it in my sig
Hey guys,
Planning to move on from my Hermes to a Kasier.
Got a good deal on hand from a second chance offer on one but it is locked to Orange.
I understand that there is not a free unlocker, but I remember reading that there has been one developed from the pro's on this site.
Who may this person be? I would much rather donate to a developer on this site than a guy on ebay I dont know and dont trust.
Regards,
Jason

I am planning on buying a replacement case for the S710 (scratched screen and keyboard) and was wondering if anyone knows how to properly take one of these apart? I checked the Wiki's and did a search, but nothing came up. If anyone has taken one of these apart, or knows where there's a how-to, please let me know. Thanks!
Try this link.
it's in english.

I have taken mine apart multiple times, I can do it in my sleep now!
Just follow the instructions in the service manual. If you need real-time help, I can assist you through IM (MSN) or if you wanna give me your number over email or PM, I can call if you need help and I am around.
thanks alot. Just need to purchase the parts here in the next few days (guess off ebay unless someone knows of a cheaper place) and i'll get back to you.
Search XDA for Mysterious Stranger, he has good prices and is a good guy to deal with for Vox or any parts.
