Faraday (Cingular 2125) crashes running TCPMP

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

cab luvin' dvd player

sooo, because i'm a cheap basta*d i'm going to buy a dvd player with gps for my car on ebay and i've noticed a lot of them, or even all of them?, run on windows ce. So here's my question, will any cab run on windows ce? i mean, winmo 5, 6, 6.1 and everything before that ran on windows ce right? so how easy would it be?
Picture this, a 8-16gb sd card, jam it into the card reader and start up S2P (slide to play) for one bad ass cover flowin' music center! obviously other thing would be useful to, and since these bad boys are only like $300 buckaroos it isn't a bad idea, especially for us gadget pr0n guys right?
what about flashing a rom from a SD card (only heard rumors/speculation about that, probably not possible)? or just loading up manila 2d/3d via throttle launcher and getting the think looking pimp? no phone antenna, no problem, just sync it through the bluetooth and make calls (new app required i'm guessing, or at least adapt/beautify some existing cab/exe). get internet sharing to work on it somehow and you're seriously looking at a pretty cool carputer. well, with all i'd want to use one for anyways. Who wants to do more than what a good rom on one of our phones can do while in a car anyways?
I'm not sure if it will run out of the box like that, with nothing more than some cabs on and sd card, or if you have to do something else (file explorer and whatnot), but i figured xda would be the best place to start for the right answers. I've never gone wrong before with you guys, so speak up! let's see what we come up with!
or at least give me a link to a better place if you know of one and i'll get off my soapbox...
anyways, i've got access to a few vogues, a wing/herald, and a touch pro to do testing with, along with the dvd player/win CE unit--in about a week or two that is--so i'm more than happy to put it on the table.
Man i hope you guys are reading this and as pumped as i am.
anyways, pm me with anything, or i'll just keep looking to see if anyone else posts here

does anyone know if this would even work?

This could work.
First of all, you need to look up how to disable OEM's shell (factory "software" of the player) and enable Windows CE interface.
Next you either install Handheld PC apps, or install libraries which allow you to run applications from PocketPC.
Myself I tried it with a cheap GPS. Yeah, WinCE + apps are a major step up from maps only, but it is not anywhere close to even a non-phone PPC. Because of, for example, lack of WiFi. The big advantage is, that I can install any WinCE compatible map instead of outdated OEM maps.
Hope I am right, and this helps

Where did you find information about your GPS? I just got one, model# TID-7626GPS that I'm going to try to mod, but i can't find information about how to get the WinCE.
if you could pass on any links to places i could look it would help a ton. For how do disable the factory OEM and those libraries?

First you need to find out real manufacturer of your device. I googled model name you said but there's nothing
Or, connect that device via ActiveSync (yes, the same) and see if there's a file \Windows\autorun.inf
If it exists, backup it. Then change it so it will load \Windows\explorer.exe
That should unlock WinCE UI.
However, the file may not exist. In this case you have to look for instructions over the web.

New O2 XDA Orbit 2 owner...

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

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.

CF card not working

I'm very sad and I'm hoping someone can help me with ANY idea that might work. I just bought a LifeView FlyPresenter CF card for my pda because I heard awesome things about it. Unfortunately any and all attempts to install the card so far have been unsuccessful with any driver version I could find. Plugging the card in hangs the pda until I remove it and soft-resetting with the card in hangs the boot process...when I remove it the thing boots normally and then gives me an error box saying it can't recognize the card (which I pulled out) and is looking for me to tell it what driver to use. I tried typing the driver name in the box but that did nothing, probably because I can't get the error box and have the card plugged in simultaneously. The Card is supposedly written for PPC 2002 and 2003 and I figured that it'd be compatible with WM6 but maybe I was mistaken....the software seemed to install normally and the app shows up on the programs list though.
So....I'm hoping somebody can help me either A) get the thing working or B) tell me how to trick the device into acting like a ppc 2003 or something crazy like that so that I can use the card in some limited way. It has a lot of awesome software and full motion video out that I want to take advantage of. Thank you for your kind support.
IPAQ 210 Enterprise
WM6 Classic (non cooked)

39 MB free space on the device

Anybody? I'm totally helpless at this point...

hi there, the drivers are imcompatible i have a Lifview cam, its a noshow on my 6.1 custom, you need 2003/se for it to work.
Sorry

Aww ****..... Is there anyway to emulate the OS on a wm6 device? I don't care how complicated or weird it is....any means of running the hardware would be better than having to sell this thing after I just bought it.

Sorry, i don't thinks its possible.

Hey have you seen on their website that they have SDK software? I just saw it now. Apparently it allows you to write drivers for whatever platform you want by simply using their dll files and writing the drivers for them. Problem is the link is 404 and I can't find the sdk anywhere else. I know they have the same software for the flycam too. Maybe if we each are able to find our respective versions of the SDK we can both use our hardware again.
Any ideas where I could find the SDK? My methods of searching for things are limited to google but you might know where else such things are likely to be found...

Undelete From NAND

Hi guys...
I'm pretty new here. I hope I'm posting in the right place.
I'd like to know how to UNDELETE files from the internal memory of an HTC phone (It's a Raphael aka HTC Pro). I think the way is the same for every phone. But I searched and I didn't find anything usefull.
I hope you can help me... The phone is not mine (I have a Mogul) and I'm trying to understand how to do it for a good purpose
I'm testing some programs on the Mogul/Titan (with WM6.5) but nothing works. I tried wm5torage to try to see the partiotions, but it's not working. I tried NORMAL windows (I'm using windows 7 x64) undelete softwares but they can't recognise the phone memory. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP
I have a working Android 1.6 on the SD card... Linux based systems are usually good for that things hehehe so any solution with that OS is good too!
I understand technical stuff, so no problems with hard ways Any way to dump the memory and undelete from image file etc... Anything... I really need to find a way. The point is: Retrieve a deleted movie that can keep an innocent person out of prison. And sorry for my messy English too... I'm Italian.
Thanks!!!

If the purpose is this, then you need to send the phone to specialists, who will take memory chip out and read it externally. Every "turn on" or every attempt to retrieve data by internal means will just cut off the deleted video more.
They will put memory chip back in place after reading and the service don't cost extremely too much. I remember it's something like $200
search data recovery from chip. there is more results.
