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
I've had TONS of PM's recently (12 in the 3 days I was in VT) so I wanted to clear some things up and answer a few questions.
1) ROM DUMP... The ROM incognitho posted is the one on my Fuze, same radio and everything. If that doesn't give you 3G, no ROM/radio will.
2) MMS... Your Raphael automatically obtains the same settings as mine for MMS, if it doesn't work, fix it through AT&T.
3) Software/hardware capabilities... The G-sensor calibrator, FM radio and TV out all function completely after the software was installed. Thanks to sub69 and schaps.
Any more questions so my PM box stops overflowing?
Keep negativity elsewhere as I'm already on thin ice, I'll answer anything I can but once the mudslinging starts this thread is gone.
I'm afraid that black may be right on the 3g in the US. If his rom & radio don't give the UK touch pro 3g in the states, I really don't know what else can be done to open it up as that rom/radio do enabe the 3g on his touch pro. I really do hope I'm wrong as I currenly have a UK touch pro in the US but when the fuze comes out I know I will have no problem selling it and I'll just get the Fuze. It's a shame because I think I would like the layout of the UK keyboard better than the Fuze. Only time will tell I guess.
Well, I can't say I know that the hardware is different (nix the keyboard/camera/etc), but I do know my phone works flawlessly on 3G/HSPA with the currently available radio/ROM. I'm sorry to hear people have tried this with no success, as that means many people have wasted a grand for no 3G. :-(

I haven't read the forum much lately,,,,,, but is that right? The AT&T Fuze is going to have FM radio?

The software wasn't installed, but after sub69 did me the favor of extracting the FM radio files from his Touch Pro and putting them into a CAB, it works perfectly on my Fuze. Same applies to TV-out, software wasn't there, but after installed it works mint.

Are you talking about the AT&T Fuze ROM? If you are, then no that ROM will brick the hell out of your phone if you try it. Stick to the Hermes forum for Hermes ROMs

No, the ROM wont work straight out. It would have to be ported to work on the Hermes. There was one ported for the Kaiser (IBI) but i don't think anything for the Hermes was released.

Can we change background picture in touch pro (not only for home)?
Can we have different backgrounds for each ?
How to do that Please
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.
Is there a way to make the keyboard backlight come on and stay on when you slide it out?
I don't like the auto sensor on my Mogul, and set it up to stay on all the time.
I can't find that option on my Touch Pro?
I am in the same boat. I am looking for a fix. I tried Kaiser Tweaks does not work. I would like it to stay on maybe a minute, and at the least 30 Seconds
I just found the solution for you:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout
Change this value to whatever you like - just tested it and it works!
huh, didn't work on mine.
Did not work on mine either. Actually it was already changed from the Kaiser Hack. Still Trying.
I swear - it's working on mine! Otherwise I wouldn't have stated "solved" that full-bodied!
Seems many folks can confirm it not working on the Sprint HTC T. P.
Yours is GSM? Maybe it's different enough to make the diff.
I've got an unbranded german device.

Worked like a charm on my Touch Pro.
Thanks alot for such a simple fix that helped alot.
Seems to be mixed reviews. The Sprint HTC TP does not respond to the setting. I am wondering if it has to do with the light sensor. I have been playing and no success. This is driving me crazy. I also hate how the home/backkey/phone keys shut down so fast.
I had a palm 700p, and switched to the touch pro (great device by the way), and ther was all kinds of utility software that developers were selling to control these types of issues.
I used a software program that would dim the lights, and keep them dim for a specified time, and them shut them off after a specified time.
To bad there is not a product like that applicable to the sprint TP.

Surely it worked with all. It might be another "overriding" configuration that is making the reg hack ineffective!!
It always worked on OEMs..
I have been going through my sprint TP with a fine tooth comb. I don't have any other configs that could over ride the reg edit, that I can see (programs also). I have not tweaked any other settings that I did not set back to the original that would interfere with the tweak.
Thanks, for the response, I will keep working on it.
Any update on this for the sprint tp's?
I've been annoyed by this for too long now.
No go for the Sprint TP's. Lots of folks looking for a solution on ppcgeeks. Oh well. Just another thing that Sprint tweaked for us, just like removing the FM radio.
Worked fine on my UK TP using ROMeOS, Big thanks to the poster, as this has been winding me up for a while.
Can't edit?

I'm looking for an app that will add typing sounds of some kind while using the hardware keyboard on my G1. I'm coming from a modded, OpenTouch flashed and overclocked HTC Herald/T-Mobile Wing which had the option to add sounds for hardware button presses. I'm a big guy with BIG hands- my two thumbs placed together stretch from the "A" to the "L" on the G1 keyboard. The G1's keys are smaller and don't have the healthy, positive feeling "click" that my old Wing/Herald did, which makes it hard for my big ass thumbs to register if I've depressed the button. I end up backspacing a lot to correct double typed or missed letters. Having sounds would help sooooo much. Even the same sound you can set for screen touches would be perfect.
Does something like this exist? Could an app be made?
~edit~
Just realized I should have posted this in the apps forum....sorry! Move if needed!
hmm good post. I would like to know this as well, would be a great feature addition.
maybe someone can create a sound not when it opens but when ever the screen is rotated?just a thought

no offense, but that wouldn't really help the OP
and it would be a nice feature. god knows how you'd do it though
This would be an absolute must have app for me....I'd pay for it without a second thought.

My hope is that some super secret squirrel developer will see this and whip out the appropriate app and beam to my phone in 3.2 seconds. lol
i was wondering about this also!

its quite possible to do it. i dont know how though
in the coding, there is a keyboardhidden and keyboardexposed recognization...
we just need to find a dev interested in it
i would like this also!
i love using the on screen keyboard because of all the sounds and the different ones for space and delete and if i could have it on my hard keyboard also i would most definitely pay
You guys know about Haykuros keyboard mod? The one that gives the hard keyboard predictive text? It also gives you key pressing sounds like the VK does.
can you link us to this?
if you use haykuro's HTC IME you can tell it to make typing noises when you click the hardware or software keyboard.

Hope that this helps.
