HTC Prophet forum - General Topics

When can we have an forum dedicated to the HTC Prophet? This phone has been out for a month now and this is probably the time where people would need a forum most.

I will fully support the opening of this section too.

Hee kta
So you bought the Prophet (Dopod 818 pro from expansys?). I'm still waiting to fork out the 500,00+ euro's.
Still happy with my Magician.
Is the Bluetooth headset caller id working on the Prophet? (as it was on my P800 2 years ago)
Still little BUGS.... I read device has to be on...
(I keep the device in my pocket off, I want to here who is calling me before I pick up the phone, P800 could do that 2 years ago...)
That would be a BIG + for me to buy the Prophet.
On the other hand I'm missing GPS and 3G. (DECT would be nice 2)
Still hoping a bit for wm 2005 on my Magician or the Bluetooth caller id
to be hacked out of the wm 2005. Although everyone here say’s it’s a hardware problem.
On topic: YES there should be a HTC Prophet forum. I like to read people’s experiences with the device.

there is a special forum for website related matters. don't forget to post there as well.

I read on Mobile-review:
HTC Prophet is a complete copy (both software and hardware are meant) of HTC Wizard. On the other hand, it's equal to HTC Magician in appearance

So I think that's the reason ad/mod do not want to open a new box for HTC Prophet.

No no no....The Prophet is NOT equal to the Magician in appearance! The Charmer is. :roll:
The prophet is a bit like in appearance but certainly not equal. :wink:

agree ..
prophet at least had wifi (802.11g)
charmer is really like a copy of magician ...

Re Prophet Forum
Hey all
After a month of enjoyment of my wizard, have just managed to sell it on E-Bay and ordered my Prophet (I-Mate Jamin) of Expansys, as did not find the Keyboard quite as usefull as I thought still could not match CalTech Quick writing as an input system, however nice machine if you like keyboards, just wanted a smaller machine with WiFi and had my doughts about the long term durability of the keyboard & stylus, so come lets get that Prophet Forum going its on releas with expansys on Friday and it is a HTC item unlike the XDA atom, and I think it is going to be very popular amoungst the none keyboarders,
Regards Ash'e

Yes looks the best of the new small wm5 devices. I just hope O2 have it in the UK when my contract is up for renewal. I did email them when I saw O2 Germany was releasing it and, of course, got the pointless reply

OK, I've read the review. I still stand by what I said. Also, so Mobile Review it would seem:
The appearance has not changed much from the HTC Magician's time, it just got rounder. Side edges are not splay as earlier, but slightly project. The body is made of a less smooth, almost dull black material (the front part is of metal, and the back and sides are made of plastic).

It is very similar - but not identical (equal in appearance)
The Charmer is identical.

IMate Store selling WM6 jasjar?

I was looking for a good leather case for my jasjar and ran across this at the imate store http://www.imatephonestore.com/product.asp?itemMDL=IMATE_JASJAR&ref=adwords its the jasjar for sale with windows mobile 6 does that mean we are close to a final
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!
If it is not a mistake my next PDA WILL BE I-MATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO MORE QTEK/HTC!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTH! I guess the coder/designer of that site has committed an error.
But, I would loved to be proven wrong
edit: interestingly, he didn't commit similar error to other imate products(kjam, jasjam etc). Hmmm
edit2: more interestingly, the string(lol,doing lot of programming these days) "windows mobile 6" is written in red

Yes, you are right. Infact, it is priced higher that the comparitively newer JasJam($999). JasJar is priced at $1049 :\ Indeed odd.
*fingers crossed*
wow, this is cool information. I-mate prepared a official WM6 ROM for Universal.

Well, IMHO, all vendors should give WM6 upgrade to their WM5 devices since MS is not charging anything from them to do the upgradation.
Just saw somewhere on the web that the HP has announced to give their hx2xxx owners free WM6 upgrade. Now, thats too cool
I was thinking about the selling of my Qtek 9000, because Im looking for someting new (my favourite is Imate Ultimate 7150), but the official WM6 upgrade is good reason why still stay with Universal
This is a MIRACLE!!!

JasJar , Qtek, Dpod.. the same things. If there is JasJar WM6 ROM, we can upload it on Qtek as well
not happening
most likely they are flashing it with roms taken from here....
why would imate want to do this???
imate is supposed to have the worst after-sales service
and with the ultimate line (7150) being announced they have even less motivation

or ... maybe they are trying to convince the people that they changed !
afaik, HTC dont support the Universal with WM6, meaning that carriers can't either.
Most likely some n00b was updating the website and suck the wm6 stuff on jasJAR Rather than jasJAM (Which IS getting WM6, and yet it isnt mentioned here: http://www.imatephonestore.com/product.asp?itemMDL=IMATE_JASJAM)
coincidence?

Well, may be imate wants to sell the ones still left in the stock. Also, since MS didnt take any money for the upgrade to WM6, may be one of the imate rom makers made a ROM for JasJar to attract the people to buy it

But, imate has not yet announced to offer WM6 upgrade, unlike htc/dopod :\
edit: also, since imate has divorced htc from quite a long time, jasjam won't be getting any upgrade. afaik, jasjam is the only device which could have got the upgraded to wm6 because it was manf by htc. After jasjam, they came with the non-htc products

You mean, flame thread as in, people flaming people, or the Xda Flame thread?
Another indicator of if it gets a forum here is "will it ever see thelight of day?" I-Mate's almost as dead as a door nail.
I'm bringing this thread back to push for an I-mate 9502 forums on here. This is honestly one of the main factors on wether or not I will buy this device (if/when it's released). I love this forum and it has helped me so much with my Vox and my Feeler, I would love to have the same support if I were to buy a 9502.
actually, that's a bit unlikely, as it's not HTC-made. The forum has specialized in HTC only so far, save for a few **ahem** Atom**ahem**
I would also love it if XDA-Dev got a 9502 forum.
The phone looks perfect! I actually sold my bnib Voda V1615 / tytn II upgrade to get some cash for it!
However, being Windows Mobile it will doubtlessly be utterly useless without the XDA-Dev geniuses to iron out all the creases.
I don't see why it can't go in here. It's replaced HTC as the XDAs in the southern hemisphere (i-mate's smartphone range).
I don't see why people are so keen to keep the forum exclusively for High Tech Crap anyway. Until the Wizards they've always been terrible (of course I still loved tweaking with them with the help of XDA-Dev).
Actually, not all Southern hemisphere. In Asia, even Southern and Southeastern, HTC still dominates the WM market. Sorry to burst your bubble mate. But the final decision really would be up to the mods, wouldn't it?

Nope, it isn't dead - and, fortunately, they don't return to HTC, as opposed to what the rumors said before MWC.

I'll mention this question too in the Mod forum, albeit, I'm afraid, the answer will be no.
it doesnt matter if there' a imate 9502 forum or not. just use the cab files from this site and put it in Ultimate! i just put PIE 6.1 on Imate 6150!

Some of them will work, but I think a lot of the things that need fiddling with in the registry and I-mate's own bits of software will need device-specific tweaks.
Either way, I can have a tinker, but lack the technical know-how to do anything major. I guess if the device become popular enough we might end up with a forum for it.
Guys and gals, I’ve just posted a HUGE roundup & quick review of i-mate’s all four new devices to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1967268
I read on Whirlpool forums that Telstra Australia will be the first to get the 9502, but someone just posted this:
"Just spoke to my telstra contact and he confirmed the 9502 failed testing was due for release on the 10th of march he said it is likelty to be released on the 24th but that isn't confirmed yet."
Lame. I want it now.
Ultimate 9502 Thread
Surely we shouldn't discount the Ultimate 9502 just because it's not made by HTC.
The 'Welcome' message admits that the name XDA-Developers is pretty arbitrary, it just so happened that an O2 XDA of some model was the first that they happened to have, and that would make it more O2 than HTC.
I would say that what is much more important is that the 9502 is a WindowsMobile Pocket PC, and it will have the same kind of issues as the other Windows Mobile Pocket PCs discussed here, including other I-Mate devices, and especially the Kaiser which has (from what I understand) the same chipset.
So can we have a forum for the 9502 (and I guess the other Ultimates as well)?
Ultimate 9502 Availability
As far as when the 9502 will be available from Telstra, they were able to take my order as of last Thursday. I'd say they would only do that if the issues had been sorted.
Imate 9502 is IN STOCK from here but i not sure how accurate is that!

Me +4
I have been using this since April 2, and my Kaiser has been in my drawer ever since (sorry HTC)
Which one, the 8502 or 9502. I have an 8502 and I've gotta tell you, it is by FAR the best PDA phone I have ever used. Not only is it VERY small in size which is GREAT, but the battery life is good too. If it had a VGA screen, and maybe a front facing camera, it would be the best phone ever. My buddies 9502 is also a very solid phone. Abit bulky but not too bad. Thinner than the tytn II but longer.
again, this forum is called XDA-devs. I find it somewhat hypocritical that it encompasses only HTC made devices. But a rule of thumb is that if its not available via XDA, it's not getting a forum.
Weird, but thats how it works

It will never support SDHC. It is a hardware issue, in that the Wifi card uses some parts of the SD card reader.

No, it will support it.... Its not a hardware issue.... You will see!
Never gonna get tired of this phone. It's the best and only QWERTY phone I will ever use.
Best I have ever had
I have had my 8502 for about 11 weeks and it is by far the best unit I have ever owned.
This is at least my 8th PDA and I migrated from a JasJam and in every aspect the 8502 is far superior even with WM 6.0.
I use it quite heavily with lots of software installed and certainly have not had the issues that some of you are talking about.
All I am waiting for is WM 6.1 and some Rom cookers and the 8502 will be even better.
i'm suprise that my Imate 9502 is very stable and everything just works!
i have a tytn 1 upgraded to WM6.1, and usb tethering keep disconnecting!
8502 user here........ must agree this is the best windows mobile i have used.....just check out my signature, been through a lot of pdas in the last couple of years....

recommendation: HTC TyTN Hermes or HTC P4350 Herald?

Hello guys,
I need you help.
I'm planning to buy a HTC phone pretty soon (gonna buy it on ebay)
Currently I have to decide between the TyTN Hermes (not Kaiser) and the HTC p4350 Herald.
I simply don't know which phone to pick...
I'd like to use the phone for calendar, to-do, w-lan.... and in general I want to mod the phone to my needs
The pros for the Tytn Hermes are:
400 MhZ and UMTS
but as I read, there are ppl having various problems with that phone...
I'd be glad if ppl could reply and tell me about their experiences with these phones (or make another suggestion).
Thanks alot
chbe26
P.S.: I hope this is posted in the right area, it not please move it
you should look for threads in the hermes/herald section either comparing the two or just giving you a wide view of the phone.
I use a Hermes, but would recommend the Kaiser for the extra ram, and the possibility of running Android on it. If you want to run a fancy shell like m2d, then the extra ram is a must.
Also, (while not wanting to put down the fine chefs working on Hermes), there are a lot more people cooking for the Kaiser, and I think the driver issues have all been solved now.
