Help with new smart phone - General Topics

Hello Guys,
I have coming to this forum for a while and have always been thankful for the help and advice and for making my old MDA work the way is was meant to ;-).
Alas, the thing dies and I wanted to get something new so I bought this thing on eBay;
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=290268552198
They call it the hTY Touch Flo or Hantel Q5and it is pre-loaded with WM6. It says it has built in GPS and a few other goodies but the iGo software just hangs the phone and does not fit the screen width and I have no way of changing it. It is also lacking some of the previous great features that I had especially with mfrazz's cooked rom.
I've scanned the forums and tried to search for this phone without much luck and was wondering if it might be similar enough to one of the phones on this forum to piggy back off of.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance.

I couldnĀ“t find anything on this device, it seems a copy of HTC

Its actually quite cool and so far so good but, I need the little extras that were always available here.

2.26.10.105..extrom
and also if anyone can suggest where or what site i can go for full applications...it would really be nice to be welcome into the pocket pc world and get pointers from members...thanks to all....
Hello mlkjbo and welcome to the forum.
First of I think you should define some goals. We can't tell you how to make your MDA fit you, since we don't know you
If you want free software start here:
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com
http://www.freewareppc.com
http://www.freecabs.de (this site is designed to be viewed directly from the phone)
Your device can do a lot of things, such as playing movies, listening to music and playing games.
Tell us what you want to do with it and we will be happy to point you in the right direction.
thx...your right i left that outto many profiles to list...question.. and this may sound stupid to ask but thats how much i dont know...but can i get a flash program onto the mda..well basically i wanted a my today screen for example to be the ocean with with moving fishes or something like that is that possible on the mda
Not only possible but there is a whole collection of flash themes out there.
Check out this site and here.
One thing though: this program will use up CPU power which will slow down your device and waste battery. It is pretty, but not very functional.

Replacing my Universal...

Hello there, I'm planning to replace my HTC Universal after great 3 years of working! and I'm still pleased with it to be honest!
My new PPC should has a keyboard, so my question is simple! is the HTC Raphael the good choice to go with?
I know there is the SE X1 as another choice, but I think I liked the HTC more
What do you think?
so guyz...no replys at all?
I really like my Raphael and as far as i worked with it, i had no problems and would recommend it.
There are (of course) some bugs, but they can be fixed with progs out of this forum. So if u are not afraid of spending some time in setting up ur raphael this could be ur new favourite.
The keyboard is pretty good (for my opinion), the buttons are small, but i don't have a problem hitting the right one, even though i got thicker fingers.
If u have some specific questions just ask, i'll see if i can answer.
hi there
having used the universal and then using a hermes as a day-to-day device and now the raphael i can only say that im glad i bought one!
the size of the device is simply astonishing for what has been crammed into it
what do you primarily use your device for?
the universal is a well seasoned device with much support and it appears the raphael is heading that way too!
Thanx guyz,
No problem at all with spending time fixing bugz cause really I like these stuff and I enjoy searching and fixing...that's what kept me from replacing my Universal
good to hear that about the keyboard, cause I really need it and I think by time I should be used to it...
yup, the size is a great thing compared to the huge universal for sure I'm now a medical resident...so I will use it to have some books around me all the time beside its internet & phone cababilities...
there is nothin specific now in my mind to ask, but I got a positive impression in general and I think I'm gonna buy it soon
I'll get back to you!

Welcome to the forum
Not sure if this model is made by HTC as we dedicate this forum to HTC devices.
Perhaps other member can point you into the rigth direction
Good luck,
Its actually made by hp and to tell you the truth i have no idea what htc really is. Im sorry though but alot of the programs for most of the htc stuff has worked on it previously as well as currently and ive not really had any problems with it. I just want to make it more finger friendly as ive said before anyways. Im glad you guys will still accept me here no problems. I would be greatly appreciative of help with this matter no matter what though.

This is HTC and in general what XDA-DEVS is about:
Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.
You are more than welcome!
Just wanted to let you know that we are HTC devices only
Good luck,
tis there noone that can help me at least with the .net com framework stuff.
Can some one post on how to change the .net compact framework it does run windows mobile 5 the only difference between this and a phone is the phone part everything else is the same so if someone can please help me with this I would greatly be appreciative.

Hello everyone

Hey guys, my name is Sean and I'm from Pittsburgh PA.
So I believe I found the right place here at xda-dev. I just got a Touch Pro2 with sprint. The guy I bought the phone from offered me one with newer firmware but I told him I wanted the one with the oldest (in case some vulnerabilities were patched), so I think it is WM 6.1 or something, definitely not 6.5. Anyways, when I go to setting -> about is says TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38416.1; what other information can I find as to my version that may be of use to me?
I am sorry I am such a newb at this. Basically, I want to get the most out of my phone as possible (hell, it cost me 300$ [no rebate since I have an older data plan]) and do not even know where to start. There is so much information on these forums I am having a hard time making sense out of it. If anyone could give me some information as to how to figure out what I can do or some recommendations I would very much appreciate it. Thanks
-Sean
edit: I have been looking through the wiki and faqs so please give me a bit more insight other than steering me to their direction. Thanks again
I suggest you look on ppcgeeks for more cdma based TP2 information. Most of the people on the tp2 section there are sprint users.
thanks
thanks for the advice. ill check it out.
you're going to want to upgrade to 6.5, you can do so much more! and check out ppcgeeks.com.
So a few days back I installed mightyrom and about 20 cabs. Wasn't that difficult once i figured it out. Thanks for pointing me to ppcgeeks.
That's about it, but, what kind of stuff do you guys put on your tp2?
my personal favorite is slingbox, nothing like having a portable cable box that makes calls .
is it possible to play netflix's watch instantly on the tp2? That would be awesome.

[Q] Advice needed! (about new phone)

Hello everyone,
Right now I own an HD2, and I am very happy with it.
But my contract expires soon, so I will be able to choose a new phone. But the thing is due to some changes my provider made I thought I would be able to choose a phone in late august. Turns out I could object to the cnages and now I can get my new phone in june.
But now I don't have time to do as much research as I normally would. So that is where I need your advice. What phone would be a worthy succesor for my HD2?
I use my phone mainly for entertainment so for me important things are:
Large internal memory
Good sound quality
Large screen (preferably 4.3 inch)
Speed
Android
Also important is the ability to flash ROM's but when I pick a phone that is already able to flash a custom ROM, it is probably a slightly older phone. But when I pick a very new phone I would just have to hope that it will become popular on XDa and flashing will become an option.
So advice and opinions please!
P.S it even makes me a little sad to get a new phone... I had an Xperia X1 before my HD2, but I had an HD2 based ROM on it so I have been on this forum for a few years now and I've grown attached to it. Kinda pathetic huh?
Oh I have mistakenly put this in the General forum instead of the HD2 General forum. So mods if you find this, please move my thread
I believe HTC Sensation will satify your requirements.
