Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can probably use this application..

You can actually use a lot of the knowledge in the forum regarding the HTC TyTn (Hermes 200) as your phone is similar... I believe the 6700 is just the Verizon version of the TyTn; just like Cingular's 8525...
Hope this helps...

treo running WM6 issues

I've just got my new 750V from Vodafone with WM6 to replace the 750v i had with WM5 and already there are a lot of things different. With my old phone you could safely put it in your pocket with dialling anyone as you had to press a two key combination to unlock it, the new phone activates by pressing just one button and therefore always ends up coming out of my pocket asking who i want to call or text or trying to open a program. Is there a way of changing which key/keys turn the screen on?
next..I used hidelogo and vjtoday on WM5 but on WM6 hidelogo does nothing although I've seen screenshots by other people who seem to have it working??!!?? vjtoday rmoved the bottom bar BUT it comes back on its on every now and then for no reason.
I'm struggling to find anyone who has WM6 on a treo to helps with these issues.

You'll keep struggling if you post in the wrong forum...

Cheers
P.S. on your locking issue: try reading a manual (or just play around a bit with your machine), it is not really new in in WM6 either...
[Hint: settings, personal, lock; see also device lock in your today screen.]
Good luck!

Just bought the HTC TyTN II

Well I finally made a decision and bought the HTC TyTN II a couple of days ago because I just could wait any longer for the Touch Cruise and wasn’t 100% sure I’d like the on screen keyboard to type text.
TyTN II Thoughts:
It’s definitely a power house PDA however in the little time I’ve had the phone, I’m still yet to get use to the size and weight.
Coming from using an o2 Atom Exec which everything is done by using your stylus, it will take a little getting used to sliding out that full QWERTY keyboard rather than pulling out my stylus.
The Keyboard has a nice feel, however you will need a little getting used to pressing the keys closer to the spacebar, other than that I was up and typing like a pro in only a few minutes of having it.
If anyone has any questions, I’d be happy to answer what I can.
Questions I’d like answered:
1: On my Today screen, is it possible to show upcoming appointments for the next 14 days rather than the next appointment only? Or will I need to get third party software to do that example: calplus
2. Current OS version 5.2.1620 (build 18125.0.4.2) is there a newer version or a third party ROM upgarde?
3. Select an Account – is there any way I can delete the E-Mail sample account and Outlook E-mail account?
4. The weather button on the Today Screen, is it possible to replace that with something I regularly use?
5. If I install TouchFlo and the Cube, will that slow my phone down?
6. I installed my miniSD card and the phone asked me if I’d like to install CoPilot so I did. When I loaded CoPilot it tries searched for a GPS but never locks. Do I need to set anything in particular there?
7. What is the on screen keyboard software used on the Touch Cruise, I’d like to try installing that too?

Newbie's 2 cents on the Treo 750

Hi all,
First of all, thanks for all the great advices when I asked for opinions on the Treo 750 a couple weeks ago ... I finally bought the Treo 750 for my wife and has been tweaking it the last few days. It is a good PDA and my wife loves it.
Upgrading from her old 650, there are lot of pro's to the 750:
PROS
- Lighter and feels more compact than the Treo650, and comparable to most WM devices with a full keyboard
- It's always a plus to have a full QWERTY keyboard that you don't have to slide out.
- Keys on the QWERTY keyboard is more spreaded out, and easier to use than 650. It probably has the best 'button feel' of all QWERTY devices I've used
- Believe it or not, but WM6.1 (I flashed 6.1 on it almost immediately) is A LOT more stable than Palm OS. People complain about WM OS's stability, but my experience is unless you use the Palm OS or Symbian OS for PIM functions alone, WM is better. My wife had to reset her Treo 650 on Palm OS5 (the last OS) 2 to 3 times a day if shes uses any kind of internet connection.
- Screen is bright and easy to see even under sunlight
I do, however, have my fair share of gripes with the phone ... and I'm hoping you guys can suggest any workaround / solution for them, if any ...
CONS:
- 320x320 is not much space for anything. With the task bar and the soft buttons taking up valuable real estate there's even less to work with. On her Today screen I already hide the quick dial and the carrier bars. Even then with Phone alarm plugin, ADBWeather plugin, and Windows Live plugin, I have no space left for calender items and always have to scroll to see her schedule. You guys know if there's any way to make the task bar / soft buttons narrower?
- In today's PDA world, 64MB of user memory just doesn't cut it. I flashed the full WM6.1ROM on it and only had ~ 33MB of storage immediately after the install. With so many programs that I have to install on main memory, I'm down to ~ 15MB left, and I have to be very selective on what programs I install now. Program memory is equally lacking ... and it just doesn't cut it for a modern device. I thought about flashing the "clean version" of WM6.1 but I heard it's not very stable?
- My wife doesn't really need 3G but I thought it's kindda stupid to not put an additional camera on the same side of the screen to support video calling.
I dunno if I am a 'heavy user' but those are my gripes with the phone ... it's a good phone, but given its size and that it supports 3G you'd think it's a more capable mobile device. The lack of memory (program and storage) is a big let down to me.

The screen resolution on the Treo 750 is 240x240 (qVGA).
Concerning the realestate you are quite right.
You might try PocketBreeze. The last version supports wiping with your fingers to switch between calendar etc.
I still on my Treo 750 and can't get myself to get rid of it because it's such a good device. I install more than 30 CAB's and never have had issues with my memory. Might be because most apps are installed on the MiniSD instead of the main memory. Of course things like today plugins are installed on the main memory
Good luck with your Treo!

Thanks mccune ... I took a look at pocket breeze and it's not really my cup of tea (or, my wife's, since it's really her phone).
I think I'm fine for now with phone alarm (just gotta choose a slimmer, thinner skin) ADBWeather and calender plugin. The Windows Live pluging can't squeeze in, unfortunately.
It would help if I can get rid of the carrier logo but unfortunately I can't. I tried the registry tweak to disable it, and created even more problems afterwards (lost the 'phone' application when I press "SEND" button, call duration and caller info no longer shows during call)
It'd help if it's a 320x320 screen, but it's 240x240 ... so you just gotta be more selective with what you show on the today menu.
Same thing with the memory / storage ... just gotta be selective with what you install. I hope more applications can be installed on the memory card but many of them still require to be installed on main memory and cause problems if installed on memory card (phone alarm for example, yahoo!go is another)
For now I'm fine though ... once I've tweaked it the way I like, at least it does run very stable.
And it is a nice device if you want QWERTY keyboard on the front (without slide-out keyboard) ... feels light and reasonably compact in your hand.
I also find that by disabling 3G (sticking with GPRS / EDGE) the battery life extends quite a bit too.

Glad to hear you like your 750. I do have my own suggestion for the today screen. I use Spb Pocket plus, I simply love this program. It has tabs to switch between. I currently have alot of programs to launch and plenty of space for plug-ins. As for the plug-ins, I have had no problem putting most of them on my storage card and they work just fine. I usually only have access to gprs/edge where i live, so living without 3G isn't really all that bad. Hope that can help.

Thanks for the advice ... a problem I have with launcher like Spb pocket is it takes up a lot of real estate on the tiny 240x240 screen for apps ... great for launching apps, but bad for other stuff that I wanna display on the today screen, like calender reminder, PA plugin, weather info etc etc. I put the programs that she uses most often in the main menu and that seems to work fine now with QuickMenu.
Speaking of the treo, I ran into a weird network problem recently.
If I launch a program that uses the internet (IE, Opera Mini, MSN Messenger etc), 7 times out of 10 it will NOT connect via EDGE/GPRS automatically. It just pops up with an error message saying "Network Connection is unavailable.", despite I have setup the network connection already.
A workaround that works everytime so far, is I will select Settings -> Connections ->Network Connections -> Manage Existing Connections, and I'll select the connection I have already setup (Fido EDGE ... the only connection I have setup), select EDIT, and without changing any of the setting just click Next, Next, Next and Finish.
Now, after 'reminding' WM that I have a connection setup, the program will automatically connect to EDGE, and it will work no problem.
Has anybody else experienced this? Any way to fix it? The workaround works, but it's just such a PITA.

Soon-to-be TP2 owner questions

Hi
I am new here and will soon be getting my Telus HTC TP2 and unlocking it myself via mobileincanada.com i had a couple of questions:
will i have any trouble unlocking?
i am buying it used so do i have to clear the ESN before i can use it? or what should i know about the ESN?
can i install the apps, .cab files found in the other section? or do i have to find CDMA only apps? Do apps work for both GSM and CDMA?
can i reset to factory defaults from settings to eliminate the previous owners info and data? or is there a button key combination?
is there a way to make Opera the default browser on the Internet tab?
is there a way to apply a diferent theme without installing a different ROM (since i've read we cannot do that yet for CDMA)?
is there anything else i should know as a new owner/user?
this is all i can think of for the moment. any and all help is much appreciated
thanks!

1) CDMA TP2's cannot be unlocked as of yet, I know that the community is working diligently on it.
2)You can't "clear" the ESN, it's the electronic serial number unique to each phone, it's kinda strange that you're able to find one used already, what you should check to see is if the phone was reported stolen, so basically you need to call your carrier and check to see if you will be able to activate that phone on their network.
Here's a relate post on another forum (mostly regarding a sprint phone but same idea)
http://cellphoneforums.net/sprint-pcs/t224073-how-clear-sprint-esn.html
3)You can install just about any app you want as long as it's compatible or signed *scratches head* I think there's a tweak cab file on ppc geeks that enables unsigned apps here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=78019
4)Yes, not sure what the button combo is for sprint but for my verizon tp2 it's
-make sure the phone is OFF
-hold the "volume down" (the button on the side with the "-" on it) AND the send key (green button)
-While holding said buttons, press the power on button (red button) and follow the onscreen prompts.
5)It already is.
6)You can always disable Touch Flo 3D from the Today options or even install SPB Mobile Shell (I think that's what it's called) for a different theme, but if you're just talking about normal windows mobile 6.1 today themes, just disable Touch Flo 3D from the today menu in your options screen (All settings) and install themes you normally would as with any other version of WinMo 6.1
7) Phone works best with a good data plan and just like any other windows mobile device, expect to do a soft-reset every other day. And be ready for people asking you if you got a new type of iphone or that IS an iphone or if your phone has anything to do with the iphone.

thanks for your quick reply however i do know for a fact that TELUS TP2's can be unlocked i just happened to come across one person who had difficulty. that's why i was asking.
actually here this is the people that do the unlocking and they have a video on there. if you pause at the right time you can see the IMEI which is strange to me since i though CDMA phones were supposed to have ESN.
Click here for the site that unlocks the TELUS TP2 and the video where you can see the IMEI and unlocking demonstration. its a youtube video but make sure you have the plugins or use an appropriate browser or something because i couldnt see it on IE but i could with Chrome.
actually looking at the video again there are 4 numbers titled:
IMEI
WEID (first letter a little hard to make out)
S/N (is this the ESN?)
P/N
im attaching a screenshot.

Hi subby! I think what's tripping people up is your use of the word "unlock".
From the article you posted, the summary states: "You can see how to enter the unlock code to unlock GSM on the Telus HTC Touch Pro 2 Worldwide Edition." This is talking about unlocking GSM.---
---When people in this forum talk about 'unlocking', they're referring to the ability to load a different Hard SPL, so that they can install WM 6.5 on the phone. These are two completely different uses of the word "unlock."
I'm not sure which one you meant in your original post, but the TP2 does NOT have a HSPL released for it. So, you're stuck with WM6.1 (until HTC releases WM 6.5 in a few days)
The phone's great, however. I'd def. recommend.
