Just got the S730

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.

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....

Awesome G-sensor animated lock application

Can anyone port this to the HD2 ????????
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdbQAnPN4jU

wow this looks awesome !

Yet another toy... if you like this kind of fetish get an iPhone. It is the best in that area. Do not forget what PPC means.

You just can download it here: *CLICK*
Tried it and it does not work. Getting an error when I want to apply anything in settings...

Yes this looks great ,but how to download it? on developers site there is no download link ...
Ups got it

click on the title of the post.. then it will forward to the download

Hmm doesnt work.Error.....

This is what the site says about S'Skin Lock
S’Skin Lock Application has 1 setting menu to set locking time and screen backlight.
Currently they are working on Samsung Omnia only, I have tested them on HTC HD2 too but they aren’t running. If any of our readers got them to work on their devices let us know.

it's on
http://www.wmskins.com/blog/sskin-lock-new-animated-lockscreen-application-for-windows-mobiles

must have hardware detection inside, even on samsung it only work on certain model.

i would like to have that 2

i checked and it requires the flashlite_mmi.dll
it is available in Omnia2 dump OS.nb.
Dont know if it uses any more sensors from Omnia. I would like also to use this one on HD2. Any more advance ppl could help maybe?

Deleted.......

has anyone contacted the developers regarding a htc compatible version?

We can try to install the adobe flash lite 2.1. Now I can swtich on the setting button in the startMeun. But the srceen lock still can't run. >_<

NoNe said:
Whether I have sent an e-mail having asked there will be a support of other phones. I look forward to hearing. And program YellowMan, Butterfly I have started on the HD2 but G-sensor does not work in the program.
But the blocking picture is displayed also an unblocking works correctly. In Butterfly the butterfly flies at a touch to the screen as is shown in video, but the back background is static.

Which steps have u taken to make it work till now?
Maybe we could trick/hack the G-Sensor or smth.

I really don't see anything impressive in that. Actually useless to me. Just as a a guy at the begining of post said: Iphone like fetish... Nice, but useless.

Why can't we have something nice, even if it's useless?!
I completely understand: The iphone is a toy, the HD2 is a powerful device with endless productivity possibilities... But why does that have to mean that the opposite is also true - Only the iphone can have cool toys? Never understood that argument...
