i wonder if there is a way to install this on a hermes,i know am well aware of the fact that it can brick the unit but what the heck is it possible?
did anyone notice this makes reference to an 8915 model?!? its been reported that att was going to have the 8900 (no camera) and 8925 (with front and back cam) .... but i wonder if they are stupid enough to market a 3rd model with only the back cam (well thats my guess anyway, would fit in their naming scheme)
you can,t brick your hermes because it wont let you install it

I'm sure you'll find elements of this rom appearing in a suitable ROM once the chefs have had a chance to work with it.

according to this article ... Kaiser do comes with 3 different model specs
http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9750809-1.html
Yes - 3 models
HTC Kaiser 100 - no camera
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=807
HTC Kaiser 110 - 2.8M camera on rear
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=808
HTC Kaiser 120 - both 2.8M camera on rear and 300K video calling camera on front
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=733
looks and feels pretty much the same as the previous version. Some quick notes:
- Plain AT&T splash screen (removed the words "test only, not for sale") suggests we're getting close to the final version. The animated 3G splash has audio this time...
- looks like same software package as previous version (e.g. Ms PacMan trial, OZ IM etc. cingular pre_midlets is still there too (had assumed the pre_ meant pre-release).
- Device Name default (in About control panel) reports 8900 this time (could have sworn it was 8925 last time). Model no (in Device info control panel) is just "Hermes".
- The annoying backlight problem (where it goes dim every 10 seconds and reverts settings in the backlight control panel) seems to be gone!
More notes later, after some usage.
Nice...!
Thanks for Share...!
After 1 day of usage, some interesting issues:
* created program shortcuts from TaskMgr, and the program links (in Start Menu) lose their icons after soft reset. Also the Messenger program link has no icon, and the link itself is broken (application cannot be found)
* sound through headphones does not work! This is a major problem. Sound plays fine through speakers, but as soon as headphones are plugged in nothing from the headset. Of course this worked in the last version.
I am suspecting a bad interaction with the few apps I installed (HTC Home plugin and HTC Audio Manager from HTC ROM) so I'm rerunning the imaging process. If not, will step back to the previous release as no sound thru headphones is a no-op (would be a very boring flight home for me without music).
No Audio Thru Headphones
reinstalled the ROM and verified that sound does not come thru any headset. I had to reinstall an older ROM to get headphones working. Bummer as the new ROM looked more polished. I especially liked the way that backlight dimming worked.
Hope AT&T gets it right soon, else I'll have to try the HTC RTM ROM.

Don't fly with Jet2.com as they made me switch off my Wizard when I was listening to mp3s via headphones even though it was in flight mode. The annoying thing was that she continued to allow 2 kids , 3 rows apart,to play on their Nintendo DS which I know were linked up wirelessly.
if you guys don,t mind me asking
can you please post how you got your hands on a kaiser
and if you happen to have an extra you want to sell please pm me i would be very much nterested in trying one out
It should be released in 3 weeks. If you can't wait, try eBay. There's one for sale there now.
OMG Your right!
I've been using this ROM for a week now and hadn't tried the headset. How do you jack that up? I wonder how long it will be for a release rom to fix it because I like the new rom, but goota have the headset jack
Buy the way where do you get the HTC RTM ROm? Thanks
must be nice to mess with one of these units and be a prick and not share where you got it from
byetheway IF THE SHOE FITS WEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow nice post! Im not sure why you are so upset. Your question was answered by Mlekas, we gotem on ebay, at least thats where I got mine. I think theres one on there now. Their pretty pricey though.
can someone try to rip OZ im client from this rom and put it in a cab so we can try to install a more WM6 friendly version of this software on an upgraded 8525
Hi.
After some changes It seems the new version of bandswitch is compatible with HTC Polaris. Bandswitch is used to swith from 2g and 3g quickly with only one click, enabling to save bettery keeping in 2g and using 3g when needed.
Dani
Thank you, provides very good this application
thank you guy , it seem it work very good on my cruise !
Nice
I couldnt test it on this device because I dont own one but It seems the system to change the band is the same than kaiser, instead of Hermes....So I ve modified it to behave like if It detects the device is kaiser...
Dani
i got a problem, when people try to reach me they automatically get my voice mail (in normal phone settings) i also have problems calling myself (stops a few times and then after trying again suddenly connects). same with messages long delays in receiving and sending...
after setting the band to GSM they can reach me but i have the idea that i cant use 3g????
is there a problem with the phones function t switch between 2g and 3g and do i need this app (bandswitch) for it or is there something with my phone or my opperator-settings?
Hi.
It is operator issues. I have same problem here in Spain with Vodafone. But this problem doesnt happen with Movistar. Being in 2g, if gprs is connected AND there is data flow in that moment then if someone call me it appears as phone turned off. Some friends of mine are telecomunication eng. in vodafone and says Its the sw version of the system, but not related with the pda or its configuration.
Greetings
Dani
ok, thnx
sw version of the system? (do u mean software..)
but is there something my operator can do so it works or must i keep on switching myself in my phone settings?
or do u suggest to use bandswitch?
yes,software.
HTC roms allows to change the band but the process is slows(many clicks). Because of this bandswitch was borned. In fact if you see the first post (in hermes forum) I was searching for a today plugin to switch quickly the band. I didnt find any and I developed this tool. Other operator rom doesnt provide a way to switch the band. Why? I suppose 3G generates more data traffic and more meney for telcos so they fix their devices to 2G. SO you have to use other tools (like bandswitch or commmgrpro) to change the band.
Greetings
Dani
Hello Daniel,
Should V2.5 work with a Cruise that uses the Murata radio?
I dont know that ROM. Today will be out V2.6 beta. In this version I ve changed the way to manage connections because some devices (htc touch, samsung i780) doesnt implement correctly some RAS functions so I hope management connections works for these devices too..
Testers for bandswitch v2.6
Its a beta.
Connection management didnt work correctly on this device because a known problem in some RAS API functions didnt implemented.
http://www.commmgrpro.com/CommMgrPro/files/BandSwitch.V2.6.cab
Changes:
1) Connections management(Stablish, close) has been replaced with IpHelper API so It should work with HTC Touch, Samsung i780 and others. Can you test it?. It would be nice if It was tested with currently working devices (tynt, hermes, ....) and not working devices (touch).
2) Keyboard appears automatically on license and text controls.
3) Unsintall process backed up registry settings to other registry place. It was causing in some devices error uninstalling. It has been solved. When you install old version It can cause error but continues with the installing process.
Greetings.
DAni
pd. Testers will have free license, of course
Testing? Yes!
Hey Dani!
I`ve just downloaded the cab and test it now.
How could I give my feedback?

I turned off the Speaker for 30 Minutes with the switcher. After that the speakerbutton shows "Speaker off".
And after a softreset the UMTS GSM Buttons show automatic, but i switched to GSM permanently.

When bs is shown the auto button is always focused because Its the first one but it doesnt mean the device is in auto mode. Look at the tray icon. g means gprs. a means auto, etc. I will take a look again to the speaker
Thanks!!
Touch Cruise rom udK R1:
I can't install it, keeps asking me for a serial number.
Once any version of bandswitch you ve 15 days to use it. The countdown doesnt stop even if you install other version. I will do a separate system for betas that doesnt watch if there was any other version installed some time...
2.6.1 works fine
Hey Daniel!
I just installed your new version and it works fine, the button behavior is fixed and i found no errors whit switching 2G/3G, speaker WiFi or BT.
All fine so far, but the beta expires in three days...

Anyone using a program to change the profile to say vibrate when you goto school and turn it back to ring when you come back home. There are programs that can automatically change the profile based on current cell phone tower locations you are in like PSILOC's minigps (symbian) and DHR CommMgrPro (win mo but only for GSM) but anyone know of something for CDMA/sprint?
Thanks.
I don't think one has been made for CDMA phones.

This soft looks like spot on what I want/need and when reading about it it at least says "G-sensor support for mute improved for the HTC Pro (Raphael)" so it seems it'll work with our phones.
so, how does it not work with TF3D?
(I cannot dl and try it today)
Phone alarm works as a today plug in. TF3D does not allow any additional today plug ins.
Solution is to use the application secondtoday which allows you to have a "second" today screen, which is accessable from the TF3D screen.

Yep, that's the issue. Phonealarm is able to track CDMA cell towers, but won't change profile if TF3D is on today, as it won't allow anyother app to take that coveted spot. That second today might be the solution...

They may be on GSM networks (e.g. Tmobile) here. Sprint is CDMA and CMP wouldn't pick up the cell towers. If I can get CMP work and keep TF3D that'd be great!
pocketalarm did pick up the cell towers but not sure if the author had to do any special coding for CDMA?? DHR - let me know if there is a way to use CMP with CDMA.
mm, thats interesting. Could you try it and tell me what happens or error appears? In the main windows should appear cell id and lac. Wich numbers you see? Its very curious becouse Windows API only provides one way to get cells. Maybe Its enough changing one initial parameter. Once you tell me what you see in those fields (cell & lac) I will try to fix it

Thanks I will research about it. It works with tf3d because CMP isnt a today plugin but a program. (although It has a today pluing available too). Indeed it shows info about profile-schedule on the first tab of page of TF3D....

Also DHR: I tried the new version and it does look slick but I still get 0 for LAC/Cell ID. Note I only installed it on the sd card, as I'm just using the standalone with TF3d and not the today plugin.
So the only solution that seems to work is phoneAlarm. I'll try secondtoday.
Hi all,
Since its now out and people have them (inc myself!) I thought I'd start a new thread with initial thoughts etc
I like the feel of the unit it feels more solid than my Vario II
I synced all my contacts and texts etc but havent used it to make calls etc yet so cant comment here but the sync was as expected
The phone itself looks great -its a shame the touch-flo is so t-mobile but thats to be expected
I'll probably buy a spare battery once im sure im happy with it (I have a spare with my vario II)
so far I've only installed tomtom 7 (athough there is co-pilot data on the SD Card??)
anywho so far happy but early days!!
J
No opera only IE installed I'll look for an opera cab!!
Are there any significant issues with the latest opera beta?
I see loads of threads relating to it
Should I get the stable build (8.5?) or use the beta?
Ok folks, I've made a small discovery. If you Hard Reset the device, it gives you CoPilot 7 AND Opera back, BUT (and here's the kicker) it gives you a different (older??) version of TouchFlo 3D.
The version I have after the hard reset is 1.2.34589.1_1813.6
What do (sensible) people have out of the box?
The main difference that I can see is that it doesn't have the Favourites (in a circle arrangement) on the far left of the TouchFlo panel and I also seem to remember it looking slightly different as well. I know T-mobile test each phone before they send them out - could they have updated the software through USB but not touched the ROM? Seems like the most likely option IMO.
In respect of the device, so far I'm very impressed with the Vario's speed.
I'm comparing it to the MDA Compact IV I had for a week last year - the extra RAM definitely seems to make a noticeable difference.
Edit:
After Hard Reset:
ROM Version: 1.69.110.8 WWE
ROM Date: 08/21/08
Radio Version: 1.02.25.19
Protocol Version: 52.33.25.17U

Just ordered mine from T Mobile today - at leat the CSR knew (without prompting) it was called the Vario IV, even if they had none in stock!
Re the CoPilot - I have been a long time user of CP6 (came with my Compact II) - is it useable? And did you specify it when ordering, or do you think its inclusion (given your hard reset) is an oversight by T-Mobile?
CoPilot Live is 7 Day Trial

Opera is Version 9.5, build 1522.
There is CAB file in the Windows folder to install Opera, when I first Hard reset the device and tried running it, it did not work. I think there's another file (registry?) that needs running to activate it but I quickly gave up and just reset the thing to see what would happen!
Does your TouchFlo have Favourites on the left of the Home tab?
Loving the phone at the moment. But...... texts i receive are with an internaional prefix, so the vario doesn't recognize who sent it.
Strange because there is no such problem with incoming calls ???

Oh really? Another way of doing it is Start--Settings--System--Clear Storage.
The front screen you have is the same as mine now. When I get a chance I'll call up tech support to find out if they have an update.
I did the latter option and it worked thanks
Just Resyncing and putting on texts etc and then I'll play with co-pilot!

I have all my numbers stored in international format so my texts were being recognised but incoming calls weren't. Haven't had a chance to test properly but I think I've solved this by using Schapp's Advanced Config which allows you to change the number of digits that are matched.
As nice as the phone is, there a few things that are driving me crazy and I have a feeling I'm going to return it:
* Pressing left/right on the DPad requires you to press in exactly the right area otherwise you hit the call/home/hangup/back keys which is incredibly frustrating.
* No dedicated hardware keys to launch applications. I know you can configure double/triple clicks on the call/hangup keys but it doesn't work too well. You can't configure long presses on these keys
* Can't configure double/triple/long presses of the home or back keys
* Lack of hardware softkeys means I'm unable to use Sky Mobile (the java app) which, for some reason, doesn't work if you press the softkeys on the screen. Although I don't use this that often, it's incredibly useful to have.
I really don't like using Windows Mobile and having to rely on the touchscreen for everything as it's not really designed for finger operation alone. The hardware keys on the Wizard and Kaiser made them really easy to use but I can see I'm not going to get on with this :-( If only I hadn't smashed the screen on my Kaiser!
agree with most of your comments antlane, I will be calling tmobile to return one of my two handsets, I have to say the battery life on this phone is so poor. After a full charge took it off 6am this morning by 12 it had 30% left. It will not last a day for me.

@antlane you're a hero. I searched this forum and Google high and low before finding this answer. I've made the adjustment now (to 9 digits seems to work for me in the UK) and life is back to normal
For the purposes of being able to find this fix easily from web searching:
Problem: International Format Contact Numbers Not Recognised (in my case HTC Touch Pro/Raphael/Vario IV)
Solution: Use Schapp's Advanced Config to adjust number of digits matched (under 'phone' section).
As far as your other comments go, I too have mixed feelings about lack of hard buttons (especially for scroll, messaging and camera). But, in balance I am very impressed with TFL3D - it's really integrated well with the OS and provides functionality on top (e.g. remembering what track you were listening to before soft reset unlike WMP). It's fast and gives you the kind of look and feel that I expect from such a capable handset. Also like: keyboard, screen and soft keyboard options. Don't like: excessive T-mobile branding on TFL3D, lack of plain Opera option in programs (only WebnWalk), lack of 3.5mm headphone jack (adapter city still).
Thanks again @antlane
Thanks for that. Switching to 9 digits in advanced config, sorts it out perfectly.
How are people finding the T mobile branding ?? Its a bit pink for me so i may have to find a way to switch it back to HTC Black and grey.

While I don't doubt this fix works for the phone, why on earth should we have to resort to a third party program to get a basic feature of EVERY phone made in the last 10 years or so??
My Vario II could identify a number if it had a +447 or 07 prefix..why can't my shiny new toy??
I've been dealing with T-Mobile customer support and then the tech support team as well over the last couple of days.
So far I've been told to remove any duplicate contacts from the phone memory (there weren't any) then copy all contacts from my SIM over to the phone memory...and erase all SIM contacts when that didn't work!
The last thing they've suggested is that my SIM (which is about 8/9 years old) is not supplying enough voltage (3 volts as opposed to 5 volts of modern SIMs) so they're sending me a new SIM card tomorrow. Apparently (and it made me laugh) this is a common Windows Mobile fault!
Has anyone heard of this "fault" or is this typical tech support BS??!?
Vario IV and Parrot BT
Something else thats frustrating me is that the Vario wont pair fully with my Rythum and Blue stereo in the car.
All other HTC devices (going back to the universal) pair in such a way that contacts and call history sync with the car stereo
The vario IV does connect but wont sync
Annoying as the Object push profile is supported by the phone
I'll probably still keep the phone just use it less in car for calls
The signature shown is incorrect. That was the earlier ROM giving me problems...
Hi Everyone,
I have been writing on this same topic over and over again. Following is my problem:
I bought HTC Prophet/O2 Neo and it works well with Windows Mobile 5. I wanted to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 and other higher versions. I can upgrade to WM 6 as well.
But following are the problems I face with WM6 and higher versions:
1) When I send a short message (SMS) to someone my phone works normally but if someone calls me the phone rings at their end but does not ring at my end. I switch off the phone (put it on standby) and then it works okay.
2) IF the phone loses the signal anywhere it just keeps on hunting for the signal. In the meantime it shows the green light blinking indicating it does have a signal. Now if in the meantime any one calls me up the phone again rings at their end but I do not get any incoming calls. I do not get any missed call alerts either.
I have reverted back to Jester's ROM in WM5.0 it is working fine again with the following problems:
1) The voice quality is not so great and calls regularly get dropped in areas where signal is not too strong
2) The contacts do not have options such as "File As"
3) When you want to dial and you put in the first few numbers for e.g. for dialling SAM you put in 726 it will display all entries related to 726. Though SAM is a part of these entries it should be the first entry as it is someone I call more often.
4) When you are playing music and put the phone on standby the music stops!
I request you to advise me on how should I upgrade to 6.0 or further in the best possible way or help me resolve the problems in WM5 with appropriate apps
Also one thing I wonder is what IPL/SPL/GSM should be there ideally for WM6.
Also FYI my friend has the same phone upgraded to WM 6.5 and it works perfectly for him. I put my SIM card in his phone and it worked fine as well.
Please help.

Hi Everyone,
I have been writing on this same topic over and over again. Following is my problem:
I bought HTC Prophet/O2 Neo and it works well with Windows Mobile 5. I wanted to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 and other higher versions. I can upgrade to WM 6 as well.
But following are the problems I face with WM6 and higher versions:
1) When I send a short message (SMS) to someone my phone works normally but if someone calls me the phone rings at their end but does not ring at my end. I switch off the phone (put it on standby) and then it works okay.
-this might have to do with correct settings did you check your phone settings or if not did you hard reset after flashing a ROM whether is WM 5 or 6?
2) IF the phone loses the signal anywhere it just keeps on hunting for the signal. In the meantime it shows the green light blinking indicating it does have a signal. Now if in the meantime any one calls me up the phone again rings at their end but I do not get any incoming calls. I do not get any missed call alerts either.
-this doesnt happen to me maybe there is really a network problem or better yet check your phone settings again there might have been an appropriate setting for this situation
I have reverted back to Jester's ROM in WM5.0 it is working fine again with the following problems:
1) The voice quality is not so great and calls regularly get dropped in areas where signal is not too strong -that happens really if signal is not so strong better find a spot where in there is an appropriate signal
2) The contacts do not have options such as "File As" -this is ROM dependent i think... some ROM cookers incorporate these settings in their ROMS
3) When you want to dial and you put in the first few numbers for e.g. for dialling SAM you put in 726 it will display all entries related to 726. Though SAM is a part of these entries it should be the first entry as it is someone I call more often. -you have to live with it i guess since your using WM 5
4) When you are playing music and put the phone on standby the music stops!check your media player settings there is a setting that says play music even on standby mode
I request you to advise me on how should I upgrade to 6.0 or further in the best possible way or help me resolve the problems in WM5 with appropriate apps
Also one thing I wonder is what IPL/SPL/GSM should be there ideally for WM6.nope IPL doesnt matter SPL should be HardSPLed if your G3 you should have 2.G3.4PDA or G4 2.G4.4PDA (read more on how you will know if your device is G3 or G4 on Prophet WIKI THIS IS IMPORTANT BEFORE FLASHING ANY ROM GSM its only for getting phone signals etc etc and sometimes this matter when your battery drains so fast
Also FYI my friend has the same phone upgraded to WM 6.5 and it works perfectly for him. I put my SIM card in his phone and it worked fine as well.
Please help.
