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.

well im a righty and prefer the 8525 as well haha
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.

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.

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?

*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
Hi, I have a AT&T Tilt and did all the unlock. As you all know, the AT&T Tilt has a different keyboard layout than the Kaiser especially on the symbol buttons. Anyone know there is a fix or something after the Tilt ROM Flash and have the correct Tilt key layout??

You have got to be kidding. The keyboards are different? Holy crap, no wonder everyone has a hard time reading my messages. They keep telling my my punctuation skills are horrible. Damn, no wonder.
A little paint can fix that problem...
Seriously, you've got enough flack, just gonna close this.
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.

That is only the cover, they do not offer the actual keyboard yet for it. The keyboard shown is the Fuze.
thanks for the link, but that keyboard is for the fuze, not the touch pro.
@DSmithZ28; all i need is the cover, correct? i dont need the entire keyboard, i think?
Are There any '.cab' or Registry Edits that can help increase the sensitivity on my HTC Touch 2.
Many Thanks.
I have noticed that the HTC Touch 2 works much faster if the nail is used , but i guess that this is because it is more like a stylus , but as i really don't have the time to be taking out my stylus every-time i want to use my phone i would like to know if there is any other ways around it.

Don't really think it will work. Sensitivity is influenced by the OS AND (!) the screen's abilities. I think that you can't really increase it. I can't say for sure though, I'll ask my dad for his Touch2 to try it out some time later.

This really works. My Touch2 is now a lot more sensitive and is much easier to use. I recommend every one who uses a touch2, as the touchscreen sensitivity is very bad, to download and install this. It works perfectly. Before whenever I recieved a call, and attempted to answer it, clicking the answer button, it would never answer and it end-call. NOW IT WORKS PERFCTLY.
Thanks , it s really work
Thanks
its really works on HTC Touch VIVA
Hello!
Crazy but it works! nice!
