Has anyone tried porting or installing the htc homeplug onto a smartphone?
what exactly the htc homeplug is?
may be it's the bottom line of this homescreen? http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/image/htc/tytn2/live/high/live05.jpg

actually it's the top half
I don§t think that it is possible since the homescreen on smartphones works differently than today screen on pocket pc. However this HTC S730 (http://www.europe.htc.com/en/products/htcs730.html) seems to have something similar so once someone will extrat it from the ROM you will probably be able to use it. By the way does anyone have the ROM for that phone?
may be the rom is available through HTC eClub? But imei of s730 is needed to regster there

I just bought the HTC S730 today
Where is the s730 forum here?
I have tried like a crazy person to get the 'built-in' gps to work, but i cant even find one satellite :-( Perhaps they have disabled it in the Rom...
Cant wait to hear from other users who have bought the final version of this phone and if they can get the gps to work..
Could you upload your HTC Home screen? I think a lot of users (including me ) are waiting here for this. Would you be so kind please?

As soon as I have time we will research it. If the hardware is really built in we will get it going some time (it *will* take time tho)
Got my S730 a few days ago. Loving it so far, except...
Couldn't find any satellites with Google Maps so the GPS does indeed appear to be disabled in the final ROM. I hope someone finds a "fix" for this soon. ;-)
Also, I can't get BlackBerry Connect 4.0.0.76 or 4.0.0.84 to connect RIM. My subscription is enabled (works fine on my BB Pearl) but I can't get a PIN on the S730. If anyone has managed to get this working, I'd love some help.
Cheers

I would be happy to. But i have no idea how to extract it from the phone?
Go to Application Data and the best is you copy the whole Home-Folder and upload it.
Here you go
Hope you can use it...
Can someone btw tell me how i can get more appointments to show in the HTC Home Screen?
Thank you very much! But not working on Vox, there are some missing files in system and plugin support.. I think the clsid is different from the Vox's one and it will be more difficult to make it work.. It only shows appointments I will do some researches
And your question - I tried to find it inside of xml, but not there.. HTC made a configurator to modify HTC home on PPC, so maybe for smartphones it also will appear.. I guess
GPS seems to be in HTC S730
I got my S730 today. Have tried with Efficasoft GPS Utilities for Smartphone v2.0 and Chartcross GPS Test Version 1.04. Both programs finds 0-1 satelliets, not enough for positioning, but there seems to be a GPS. But whay can't it identify enough of satellites?

Off course, if someone explains how to do it i will be happy to do it.
*If* the hardware is indeed enabled, you might want to extract drivers from a Kaiser rom. Whether the hardware is indeed present and enabled is hard to determine from the unclear statements in this thread...

Please explain how we can verify if the GPS hardware is present and enabled? I tested with Google Maps and adamwasta used a number of other tools, so what can we do to make it less unclear for you? Thanks.
HTC TYTN II ----or----- HTC s730
Can someone please help me decide between the HTC Tytn II OR the HTC S730? I am a heavy texter, sometimes check email, and want a fast phone. I'm worried that the HTC s730's keyboard is not comfortable -- can someone that uses it give me a heads up on how comfortable/good it is? Is the WM Smartphone's UI annoying? - i've been using pocket pc for a long time & I just want to know if its difficult to switch to a standard smartphone like the HTC s730? Thanks in advance for your feedback & comments - they are all much appreciated
Hmmm i havent tried yhe Tytn so i cant compare the two phones. But i had a Touch before i bought my S730 and i must that it was a step in the right direction text-typing-wise... The s730 is not as good to type on as an Nokia Communicator (imo the best phone for typing), but it's pretty good. And its great to have two options for typing : numeric with T9 and the qwerty inside...
About the smartphone ui....Grrrrrr it is a little bit annoying.. I hate that the settings are so locked. You have far few options in the settings compared to the PPC interface. But then on the other hand there are some features that works better on the smartphone than on the PDA.
All in all i am a very happy little piggy with my S730. I would not trade it for any other phone on the market.

I am also pretty happy with the S730... i used to have a vox and a wizard i must say I keep going to press the screen on the s730 because i was used to ppc but im sure it wont take long for me to get used to it..
one thing battery for me at least seems to be an issue.. fully charged at 7am this morning I had 1 bar left by 11am... Martin is your battery life the same?
the keyboard on the s730 is excellent very good i am already beginning to become a gun on it.. as for the kaiser my friend has one they are way too big for me i guess you need to ask yourself do you want a phone with pda features or a pda with phone features?
Brisbane_guy : I have not expirenced such lousy battery time as you describe. My battery last for about 2 days and i dont turn it off at night. So about 48 hours. But i have disabled BT and WIFI most of the time...
Many thanks Martin & Brisbane for your feedback I'm going to buy the s730 based on your positive feedback

You really should consider the Asus P750. It's only 130g, has 3g, gps (sirf3), wlan, bt2.0, touchscreen, WM6 Prof, 520MHz ARM, 256MB flash and 64MB ram.
On Modaco someone called it the kaiser killer.

Hi Jocky thanks for the info - however I'm a qwerty keyboard lover and absolutely cannot live without one --- any ideas on a small phone with a qwerty keyboard that has strong specs, please let me know many thanks
Im very sorry if this is in the wrong place. I have checked for a help section, but could not find one. Also there is no specific topic for my phone located on the main board.
Ok. I have recently purchased an 02 xda orbit. It has windows mobile 6.0 professional on it. Its fine, except unlike windows mobile 5.0 which i had on my old phone, it dosent seem to have a task mannager or 'the big clock' and weather options. Does wm6 come like that? Or is it because i seem to have an 02 plug-in pre installed? Is it blocking the big clock thing from starting?
I know i can download the htc plug-in to get the big clock back, it works and looks nice but i feel it slows things down. And i expect it to come as standard really..
I hear and see that wm6.1 seems to have fixxed these problems. If so, how would i go about getting that on my phone?
Thankyou very much for any professional help i may recieve.
Lee.

Thanks for the link. Still a little confused tho.
Im not sure how i would download and install this. Im new to installing roms and flashing etc.
There seems to be some debate to weather or not this is an english OS?
And is this 100% definately the rom/version i need for 02 ORBIT XDA?
Thanks.
i dont own an Artemis which is the htc name for your device
so you're better off asking your question in the forum where the thread
i linked was in
i am sure that some of you have had eather a tmobile wing or att tilt before you had a touch pro. so does it drive you crazy that the touch pro is backwards? the arrow button is on the wrong side the key board slides out from the wrong side. my biggest concern though is that some of my apps will not work. i use pocket dos a lot has anyone tried to use it on the touch pro?

It bugs me more when forum members post short, non-descriptive thread titles that don't reveal anything about the thread topic. But as for the "backward" traits of the Touch Pro, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Having had the Wizard, Hermes, and Kaiser, I actually initially preferred that the Kaiser had the D-Pad on the right.
As a lefty, I agree - I preferred the 8525 to the 8925.

i dont know why they ever changed it
sorry i am still new here. but my main question is; are there problems with apps because it is backwards? and in full screen mode with say internet explorer how do you access the menus that you normally access with the soft keys? i have the wing.

I too came off the T-Mobile Wing, so it took a bit to adjust. I also had to do it when I got the Wing (coming off of the T-Mobile MDA), which slides the same way as the Touch Pro. Just one of them things!

i dunno what you mean by problems with apps i dont know how any would be caused
but good question about full screen and using soft keys. anyone got an answer for that?
For soft keys, you just tap the bottom corner of the screen and it selects the option.
Apps are always a problem, but the best thing to do is to try them. If they don't work, try to find the VGA version of it. As far as I know, tho, most modern apps resize themselves automatically, so it shouldn't be too much a problem.
As for the keyboard sliding the other way around, as a righty, and living in a place where we drive the CORRECT way, and we have actual CORRECT keyboards (as opposed to them 'AZERTY-ies' which are always the other way in everything) this took me a moment of getting used. But now it's fine and it' does not bug me at all.

Thank you I link every question to this anwsers....
In my experience, the network or manufacturer has to set up a licence with bbconnect to allow the service. You cannot just buy a copy or use an old copy to get it to work. The rhodium has bbconnect working this is probably due to it being aimed at business where as the topaz is aimed at the casual user who won't need it.
I hope this helps.
v1zca1no,
Did you get BBC working with your Diamond2. I have tried contacting HTC and got rather useless answers....

Hi
Is there an update for htc sense 2.5 manilla where you can have the leap feature. (may be just manilla update not the whole rom update)
Seen it on the htc desire its quite cool, hence was wondering if it was available to for the htc hd2?
thanks in advance

Hi Rouzb3h
Yes this is exactly what I'm looking for. However that is for the HTC Rhodium: Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 > Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 and I'm not sure this would work with htc leo aka htc hd2?
Any idea on this?
Thanks in advance

Yep same here its not working on the leo. You install it on the phone and restart it. After that the programm icon comes on the phone and once you click on it; it works. However once on the homepage and you try to pinch and zoom for the menu to turn up it doesnt???
Has anyone got it working on the HTC leo aka hd2?

Try this thread and install the HomeScreenJump.CAB.
This will create a start menu shortcut to Homescreenjump. I do not own a Leo so I do not know how to assign it to the hardware buttons.
yeah i figured it out, you have to assign a hard key to it for it to work. i havent really messed with it, its kinda buggy and not as cool as you'd think, but i would try it out if you wanted to see...its cool for a while
