I got the new HTC Touch Dual yesterday from Orange
Here's the list of things that don't seem to work :-
No Windows live - Orange mail seems to have replaced it
Unable to get TomTom 720 Go to connect using wireless dial-up, strange as it worked with the earlier Touch model after installing WM6_DUN, even with this installed on the Dual it's not working.
Otherwise it seems a great unit.
Any help or suggestions would be appreaciated.
Thanks
dual and photos/videos
hi. i got the new dual. the problem is that if i want to see the pictures that i have taken with the CUBE i must not save them in the memory card root, even the root that the phone created by it self. same problems with the videos. so i ask you guys, is there any way to make the CUBE to see the photos and videos that i capture, which i save to the mem card, to see them directly from the card? i hope you understand what i mean. the dual is a greek one from ACE HELLAS. thanks.

Hi,
I like my Faraday (Cingular 2125) vs. my old Audiovox 5600 (C500 I think is also known as) because of its screen brightness, newer OS, and also I can copy files over to it using wm5torage without having to remove the minisd card; however, it crashes on me a lot when running TCPMP to view avi files, these are the same files I use with the 5600 using the same version of TCPMP (version 0.72RC1). I'm kind of discouraged and was wondering if anyone else have the same problem. what happens is I can watch for say 10 minutes then the smartphone version of the windows hourglass (you know that round circle signaling it's busy) would come up and i can't watch anymore, the phone doesn't actually crash but I just can't use TCPMP anymore. I can turn the phone off but turning it back on requires a battery removal.
I've already tried using an older version of TCPMP (0.71) and that didn't solve it either.
i don't believe there's any rom update for this phone (but if there's one please point me to it).
anyway, please give me any advice that you may have. man, i like this phone but i just can't stand it much longer.
thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if it'd help: did you try playing with the video settings?
yes I did
yes I played around with numerous video settings but no luck. thanks though! i think i may go back to my good old SmT5600
had the same problem on my tmobile sda but i never got to fix this problem because i lost it days later but found a SMT5600 a week later and i dont have this problem on it not even now that i have it upgraded to WM6
i switched back
yeah, i just switched back to my 5600. the one main reason i wanted to try a 2125 was because it could run the utility WM5TORAGE that treats its storage card like a USB mass storage device, hence copying files to it was fast. however, i just found out today that when using activeSync to copy files to my 5600, there's a setting in activesync to tell it not to convert to the mobile device format which helped speed up the copying quite a bit so I'm pretty content to be with my 5600 again.
I upgraded to WM6 once with my 5600 also, but the number of features felt quite overwhelming plus it seemed a little slower. does it feel like that to you?
can you point me to the wm6 rom that you used? i may try it out if it's different than the one i had used.
thanks.
for me it feels like it has a good speed not normal but good enough to do things and not get made for the slowness and for the rom i used the one in the link on my signature (Audiovox SMT 5600 (HTC Typhoon) with WM6 < check it out) it may be missing things and may have bugs but for now it is mostly stable
Ill wait for some one to make a better rom
- I finally got my PPC set up perfectly how I wanted it and was wondering if theres any kind of application out there that I can download that will make a clone of the whole thing, including the storage card. I was hoping to beable to make something so that if I had to hardreset and I could just run the clone image and it would auto instal and configure everything exactly as it is now.
- Secondly I was trying to find some kind of software that I can run on a desktop PC and my HTC Touch and see on the desktop, what im seeing through the camera on it. Kinda like video conferencing. I've tried Live messenger on it. also Skye just straight up freezes with wm6.1
Any ideas? Suggestions?
SPB Clone didnt seem to work real well. It suggested the clone size would be 15mb when it should be closer to 200mb.
Great Idea
Wish I could help but I'm hoping someone else will answer these 2 questions.... How i'd love to be able to just load 1 image back onto my phone when it F*#$%S up.
Someone posted a link to software that converts your phone to a webcam but it costs and I'm a poor student who can barely pay the rent (had my phone before I became a student in case anyone is wondering)...... A freeware version of webcam software would be great.....anyone?...Bueller? Anyone?
Whats the one that costs money? I'm curious.
Here's the link

and I just found this too

and this too but it seems very limited.

How about SPB Backup, isn't that much better. It has an option to backup the storage card too, but it is unticked to save memory consumption.
Just curious what peoples essentials are on this unit?
I have been having problems with my handset for some time now, and the memory card *appears* to be corrupt.
So doing a back up of all call logs, messages etc, and going to hard reset.
I will then attempt to update it to 6.1 *wasnt working before*
My Requirements?
Internet
Sat Nav
Games
Clean Theme (like a nice subtle black)
Alarm
Back Up Utility
So What would you guys recomend for the above and what cool features/tweaks can I do with this phone?
Just read my signature.
I think most members here would agree with my choice...
excuse my ignorance, but i see WWE is just the same as an HTC rom with the latest software, is this correct, no other changes?
Secondly, I currently run an 02 ROM, would i notice many differences and how would i go about getting my internet settings (Currently there is an application that retrieves these for me)
Hope you don't mind the silly question - I did read the info but couldn't be sure.
hello
i would say 2 apps i couldnt do without are no longer hosted on here but are g-alarm and g-profile found at www.ageye.de
Also if you want to 'risk' flash (read this) 3LIT3 as i was running the o2 6.1 rom since release till about a month ago and although it is better than the 6.0 rom it is much faster the 3LIT3 rom is superior to the official releases that have been made. Also on the settings front i was afraid of this and made sure i had them before i flashed but then they are installed automatically in customisation (with either officail or 3LIT3).
Sat nav i am guessing that you are using copilot in which case there is a releated piece on how to do this when you download the o2 rom from their site.
Back-up utility i would say either spb backup - but i have heard of problems going over from 6 -> 6.1 roms with using backup software so i say sync up before and copy any import docs that you have on their before you go to flash.
Hope that answers the questions
Well i managed to flash the unit with some interesting measures.
Long story short, I couldn't get into boot loader (Still can't) but when i ran 02 6.1 rom RUU it took it to the bootloader (just vista wouldn't work) so after some hunting i found a driver which worked, well sort of lol.
And then it worked, well for the 02 6.1 release any way.
Tried Co-pilot still having issues,
Tried memory card files, still problems - i think my memory card is knackered and some of copilot is configured there so will explain why this is failing!
Co-pilot was on the rom, presume that if it did load i would have to re-register but think i might opt for tomtom now, was never a fan of copilot.
Other than that i ran PPCPim backup which works really well for calls logs, messages etc. had no critical documents on there but did forget to back up my pictures - oh well no real loss!
Is there a way to format an SD from the device its self?
I have got to say i am NOT impressed with 6.1 from 02 its so slow! my ringtone doesn't even play properly.
Edit jesus this is rubbish, i mean seriuosly really buggy have i done something wrong because they couldnt have put this out as RTM surely?! please some one tell me i am wrong.
My ringtone stutters for goodness sake, i clicked data connection and the connection tab is now overlaying everything and won't go away!?

Hi there, Do a Hard Reset and start over again installing your PIM backup, GPS, any other things you normally use. Your GPS setup files are on the SD card in '2577' folder. Unless you have the CD media do not format your SD card, you will lose your GPS setup files.
The problem is I cannot transfer anything else to the memory card, I cannot install apps to the memory card.
Sometimes it looks like they have transferred but when i open storage card up on the device it's just the normal settings and nothing that I have transferred.
This is limiting me hugely, I cannot put mp3's, mp4's on my phone, I
cannot install games, I am left with just the basics.
Im going to buy an 4GB card today and see if that resolves things
i wanted to know i have the g sensor on my x7510 but it dosent seem to work
the 7510 has no gsensor
Yes it does
If you install GSen from SKKV software, you should be able to get the autorotation working.
Some ROMs have it totally disabled though- the O2 XDA Flint's g-sensor can't be activated for some reason, but using the HTC standard ROM it works fine.
Personally I hate it though! It always wants to autorotate when you don't want it to! I prefer manual orientation switching!
My X7510 has the G-sensor too. I my self don't like the auto rotation, although I like the function of G-Sen where it shuts off your device if turned upside down flat on the table.
I believe not all XDA Flint have the G-Sensor installed though. I suggest try installing G-Sen, if you still could not get it to work, look at the files under Windows folder and see if there are files for the G-Sensor. If it is present and you still could not get it to work, then I suggest visit your XDA store where you bought it from and have it exchanged.
Requesting an exchange will probably not work
O2, for some reason, asked HTC to supply XDA Flints without a G-sensor. It seems that some physically don't have it, but some have it disabled in ROM.
I've had 2 Flints (the first one had to be returned last week due to a screen error); the first one had a G-sensor though it would not work with the O2 ROM no matter how much I played with the installed dll's. The replacement seems not to have it at all.
As O2 have specified that it should not be present, it is unlikely that an exchange would be granted, especially as later devices are less likely to have it.
g sensor on 02
i have the o2 xda flint.when i bought it i was told it has a custom rom.i did hard reset.when i go to advance configuration it shows g sensor there.how do u activate it.
how do u in stall it

If it is a .cab file, use the built-in File Explorer and run it from there. It will give you an option where to install it. Install it to Main Memory. This is an example of an application that should ALWAYS be installed to the Main Memory. Why? Because if for some reason you are accessing your X7510 Flash Disk via USB, and you installed GSen there, then that would cause incompatibility problems for you later on. It just won't run.
adamo86,
with a windows mobile device you can .cab files install direct on your device through the explorrer but when you downloaded gsen from the page it comes as a .rar file you have to unpack it first on your pc and then copy it through activesync on to your device or on a memory card which fits in your device.
grtz.

certain cab files

well don't i feel silly. i honestly thought the x7510 didn't have it. thanks for the correction.
We live and learn!
Its one of those stupid things- the hardware is there but the software is not, by default.
Hi there,
I'd just like to say hello to everyone here, and a quick thank you for a small problem solved.
I bought my Orbit 2 a week ago and was having a small problem with the GPRS trying to connect all the time (it wouldnt connect due to no credit, I havnt bought any yet as I wanted to get used to the phone first). That problem has been solved now as I read a post about it here, and followed the instructions. Thanks very much
I have another few questions...
On this video (about 25 seconds in) there is a nice clear start screen with the large clock, and other info. I dont seem to have the option on my phone, all I have is the Windows 6.1 "Today" page. Where do I get this screen from, and what is it called please?
Link to a YouTube Video
When I choose a background picture for my "Today" page it comes up all pale and washed out looking. Is there a way to solve this please, and get the pictures looking all nice?
Thank you very much for your time,
Brian
P.S. Incase anyone was wondering, the sync software, and Windows Mobile Device software work perfectly on the Windows 7 Release Candidate in both 32bit and 64bit versions. This is on both my laptop and desktop computers
I have 32bit and 64bit in a dual boot on my laptop, and Vista Ultimate 32bit, and Win7 64bit on the desktop.
The only BSOD's I've had are with Vista (not unusual...)
The clock in that video is the HTC home screen, try googling for HTChome6.cab
HTH
Kim
Brilliant!! Thank you very much
I now have an easy to touch home screen, and am getting much more comfortable with the device
Thanks cozzykim,
Brian
Another wee question...
Is there a compatibility list for Micro SD cards? And what is the maximum capacity that Polaris will take?
I use my phone to watch videos at work a lot as I have a boring job
I found a 3gp converter thats free and reliable. It also gives good quality output even in full screen on the phone.
AVS Video Converter.
I usually download stuff from YouTube using Realplayer, then convert it to AVI/WMV with FLV converter, and watch it on the computer or laptop later. Now you can download stuff from YouTube, and convert it straight away with the YouTube converter thats also availible in the above link.
Have fun all,
Brian
A small application I have found that really makes things so much easier...
True Connect It is brilliant
Have fun all,
Brian
i think that pretty much any micro sd card works, people have had the 16 gb ones working fine in the phone but theorically they should support 32gb ones when they are released.
