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

Do you have an M500 already or something else ?
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
I will be relinquishing my i-mate JAM for an M500 in a few hours, so I'd like to take the opportunity to thank everyone here for a great time and experiencing hacking away at these HTC devices. Though we've accomplished much, it's a double-edged sword with HTC and their branding companies such as i-mate, Dopod, O2, etc. They give us enough leeway to make some really cool customizations, but they also have the attitude that 'if you want features you're missing in your current software, we'd rather you purchase new hardware (read: WM5).'
The Eten M500 seems to be a very formidable competitor with some serious technical support and definite upgrade path to WM5, so in the long run, this will likely outlast the JAM in most respects.
When I get my M500, I'll hope to find a way to get into the bootloader and make a dump of the unit and perhaps end up helping the community who's helped me and countless others with their HTC devices.
Thanks for you time here and at HOFO
it's sad to hear that you are leaving xda-developers...
Yet.. I wish you best luck with your new M500 :wink:
I hope we can get great info from you regarding the device... as always
thanks for all of your time
cheers
@BeyondtheTech
Has ETEN's build quality improved? Their first few attempts at PPCPE were not so good... maybe you can share your ETEN experience when you get your m500. Have fun with your new device!
ETEN :shock:
I was actually talking about the Orange M500, sorry if the conversation went awal..
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
Firstly hello! This is my first post on here so go easy please
Secondly I need some advice, I am at a stage where i need to replace my current phone and i have been looking at the O2 Orbit2. I don't like to buy without reading a review but they all seem very conflicting. You guy's seem to know what you are talking about so i would welcome your opinions / options.
My current phone is the Nokia E61 but it struggles now so it has to go, I also have to change networks because Vodafone has little or no coverage at my new house.
Thanks in advance!
Nick.
Nick, it might help a little if you state what you expect from the device, I am currently using an Orbit-2 on a T-Mobile contracted sim card, what applicatons/ software or GPS based applications do you want/ need from this device - Mike
Thanks for the reply Mike, sorry for the delay in reply and the sketchy original post. My main uses are web access/email and Excel/powerpoint based programs not sure how it would cope with these. Also any troubles with PC sync as this is something I do regularly and would be a pain if it was unstable!
The reviews I have seen have been very mixed hence i thought I would ask the experts.
Thanks again in advance.
Nick.
I bought myself a Nokia E71. Hello Symbian, good bye WinMo! I needed stability and most important better battery life. Blackberry was a little too "locked down" for me so S60 came and it offered the 3rd party variety of Windows Mobile but the stability and power management similar to a BB.
After waiting for an ECG to be done, an hour of browsing on my Vox had it down to almost %50. Ridiculous. The E71 I got a few days ago, I actually had a hard time running out the demo charge in order to give it a full charge over night.
I probably won't be around these forums too much anymore until I pick up an HTC S740.
Goodbye
Bye h4waii...thanks to your contribute to this forum and hope to See you soon ...:
Well good bye mate. You have been helping us a lot.
good bye buddy
hey buddy,

-sahil
Bye for now
I have read most of your very informative posts. Will definitely miss you.
Best of luck with the new phone.
Siddhartha
bye h4waii. thank you for all your contributions to this forum.
hope the e71 is good coz i too, was thinking of getting rid of the ancient S710 but then available e61's n e62's just sucked big time.
I'll still post, but I am totally blown away by S60. I've used S40 and UIQ but S60 is another beast. It is nowhere near as fun as WinMo but to be honest, everything meshes together so nicely and it doesn't feel like a huge kludge.
