MWg - WM 6.1 - General Topics
Sorry for posting here rather than in one of the other boards - I just couldn't find a board where the MWg Zinc II would fit in - maybe it's time for a new category?
Just got me the Zinc II - great phone! Works better than the HTC Kaizer which I had as a AT&T / HTC Hybrid.
Screen is only QVGA but very bright, sharp and easy on your eyes, fully glass covered (not that plastic digitizer stuff) - reacts perfectly to finger touch. Besides that, it is a very speedy device! - well, this is not a review - just have a quick question!
I tried to enable the AUTO TIME ZONE page on the device. I am sure that it is in there, it was already pre-enabled on the HTC Kaiser (which I returned for this one because it had a bad general performance + the well known video issues).
The MWg Zinc II seems to be related to the ETEN series, at least the REGISTRY contains lots of ETEN entries.
Back to my question:
I could not find any OEM entries in the registry (as described for the HERMES), so, where (and what) would I have to add a registry entry in order to get the AUTO TIME ZONE page shown under WM 6.1? Help is pretty much appreciated - thanks in advance!
Yep,
seems like I was correct! The MWg Zinc II is a rebaged ETEN GLOFISH M750 or M810:

Still having the same question (see first post).
MWg Zinc II - disable AUTO NETWORK TIME - solution found
After hours 'reading' the registry in my MWg Zinc II, I finally found a way to turn off the AUTO NETWORK TIME UPDATE. Unfortunately, the NITZ Page in the Zinc II is disabled by default, adding the OEM/SHOWNITZPAGE Registry entry won't bring it back on WM6.1 - at least not on the MWg!
The registry key you have to change is the following:
To turn NETWORK TIME OFF:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock]
"NetworkTimeSync"=dword:00000000
To turn NETWORK TIME ON:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock]
"NetworkTimeSync"=dword:00000001
My MWg was always 1 hour behind the regular time, so, this caused a lot of trouble, especially if you use your device as well as alarm clock! Hope, this will help somebody!

Have a great time with your MWg Zinc II. You seem to be a expert with your Zinc II. I am buying it within this few days. If I have any problems, can I look for you?
Well, not an expert but have some experiences with Windows Mobile. Sure, you can contact me at any time - no problem at all!
I've got the Zinc II and wondering
I'm looking to get a registry hack similar to the kaiser to speed up keyboard response, and to shut off LED coverage indicator.?
Thanks

There's no MWg Zinc II discussion thread here at xda. There's no way to cook a ROM for MWg Zinc II currently.
I wish the ZINC II WAS MORE MAIN STREAM, and had more supporters its a good piece

I wish for that too. It's indeed the MWg ZinC II is a very good device. I do not have any problem with it at all. However, there will be no more up coming MWg devices in future. MWg has already closed down.
its possible to use O2 Zinc Kitchen?

Yah. We need help from ROM master. But I do not know who to look for. Will you go ask a ROM master for help? I know of a chinese forum which discuss about Zinc II. They do not have any idea how to cook a ROM for Zinc II either. You can use google to translate it:

HTC Prophet forum
When can we have an forum dedicated to the HTC Prophet? This phone has been out for a month now and this is probably the time where people would need a forum most.
I will fully support the opening of this section too.

Click to collapse Hee kta So you bought the Prophet (Dopod 818 pro from expansys?). I'm still waiting to fork out the 500,00+ euro's. Still happy with my Magician. Is the Bluetooth headset caller id working on the Prophet? (as it was on my P800 2 years ago) Still little BUGS.... I read device has to be on... (I keep the device in my pocket off, I want to here who is calling me before I pick up the phone, P800 could do that 2 years ago...) That would be a BIG + for me to buy the Prophet. On the other hand I'm missing GPS and 3G. (DECT would be nice 2) Still hoping a bit for wm 2005 on my Magician or the Bluetooth caller id to be hacked out of the wm 2005. Although everyone here say’s it’s a hardware problem. On topic: YES there should be a HTC Prophet forum. I like to read people’s experiences with the device.
there is a special forum for website related matters. don't forget to post there as well.

HTC Prophet Forum PLEASE.... We want HTC Prophet Forum !!!
YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May we have our VERY OWN Forum here?????? Thanks!!!! voyager
I read on Mobile-review: HTC Prophet is a complete copy (both software and hardware are meant) of HTC Wizard. On the other hand, it's equal to HTC Magician in appearance Click to expand... Click to collapse So I think that's the reason ad/mod do not want to open a new box for HTC Prophet.

agree .. prophet at least had wifi (802.11g) charmer is really like a copy of magician ...

Re Prophet Forum Hey all After a month of enjoyment of my wizard, have just managed to sell it on E-Bay and ordered my Prophet (I-Mate Jamin) of Expansys, as did not find the Keyboard quite as usefull as I thought still could not match CalTech Quick writing as an input system, however nice machine if you like keyboards, just wanted a smaller machine with WiFi and had my doughts about the long term durability of the keyboard & stylus, so come lets get that Prophet Forum going its on releas with expansys on Friday and it is a HTC item unlike the XDA atom, and I think it is going to be very popular amoungst the none keyboarders, Regards Ash'e
Yes looks the best of the new small wm5 devices. I just hope O2 have it in the UK when my contract is up for renewal. I did email them when I saw O2 Germany was releasing it and, of course, got the pointless reply > Thank you for contacting O2 Customer Service. > > I am sorry but we do not have the expected release date for the > O2 XDA Neo or HTC Prophet. > Please call our Sales team on 08702 257 879 who will help you further. > They are available Monday to Friday from 08:30am to 09:00pm and > Saturday and Sunday from 10:00am to 06:00pm.

Also, so Mobile Review it would seem: The appearance has not changed much from the HTC Magician's time, it just got rounder. Side edges are not splay as earlier, but slightly project. The body is made of a less smooth, almost dull black material (the front part is of metal, and the back and sides are made of plastic). Click to expand... Click to collapse It is very similar - but not identical (equal in appearance) The Charmer is identical. :wink:

O2 plugins anywhere?
Hi everyone, I just received my new and lovely Orbit II yesterday, I wouldn't have thought it would outclass my previous P3600 so easily... And the TouchFLO interface makes for a bluffing show everytime someone asks for a demo, lol. My problem is, I had to factory-reset the poor thing after a plugin install crashed on me and bricked it. I quite liked some of the O2 stuff, where can I find it back? They must be available for download somewhere but I couldn't find them here... Many thanks in advance! Jay
Regarding O2 XDA Orbit
Don't know which section this should be in so placed it here. I am looking at getting the phone switched if possible from Windows Mobile to a version of Linux as I will be upgrading to the Tytn II shortly.
the device is called artemis and have it's own forum even with a picture http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393973&highlight=linux http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388809&highlight=linux http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362919&highlight=linux http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350015&highlight=linux http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351012&highlight=linux http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350016&highlight=linux
Thank-you very much, thought it was that but the design is different. Have a good day.
