hello everyone

a newbies hello
i just bot a motorola mpx200 off ebay for $20
it unlocked. cant wait to play with it newtoy newtoy
this is my first smartfone. i was doing some google searches and came across this site. looking for wm2003 i guess right off the bat. so far have read that wm5 run kinda slow. since smartfones are new for me i figure wm2003 should be fine for me to tinker around with.
didnt see wm2003 on the ftp.

Welcome to the site.
Although we have sub forums for some smartphones here, MPX200 is not one of them. I suggest you also check out www.spv-developers.com as well (if you haven't already).
As for the ROMs we can no longer keep any on the FTP. M$ came down hard and made the admins remove them.
Try rapidshare and the likes, but make sure you have a good virus scanner.
Most important make sure you know 110% what you are doing before changing the ROM or you will be looking for a new deal on a phone!

Noob

Hello Folks,
Noob just joined as I just purchased an M3100 from ebay. Its unlocked and has been upgraded to WM6. I was offered a M3100 as an upgrade (with orange) back in august but I chose the Nokia N95 instead. I'm a phone/gadget freak. Always loved playing with phones, upgrading, changine software etc. Had a few smartphones in the past and have had one windows based phone (SPV E200).
I liked it, I thought it was a nice change from the usual simple phone menus and software. Mucked about with that too, installing unlock software etc. My N95 I've already debranded and added several after market progs.
Anyway enough babbling. Followed this forum for quite a while as I've always hankered after a TYTN even though I have an N95. Had some extra cash (birthday) so I got myself one . Cant wait to muck about with roms etc. Oh yeah umm, and hi!!

A senior member with a junior attitude, very nice

Welcome to the hermes forums.
Most new members find in a short time that asking questions that have been asked already will get them flamed by other members, espically senior members.
Wait I'm a senior member....
Seriously though you will love tinkering with all the stuff here. I love it. But this is not a forum where you can introduce yourself as a new member(as you have seen)That's a HowardForums or Brighthand kind of thing..
You will hear this more than once: "read the wiki". Words to live by.
For a head start:
Install HardSPLv7 (2.10 Olipro)
Find a rom you like (cant go wrong with shaps or Vp3g)
Perhaps a new radio (gotta try em all to see if they are good/bad for your area)
Lots of guys have done great work in here, so enjoy the fruits of their labor...
Oh yeah and if you find your incall volume to low, try the vp3g with setacoustic i served up.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342174
Anyway welcome and good luck, hopefully it's your only flame....

very nice intrglctcrevfnk
I would only add one thing...
truscotsman72 should also check out THE MRVANX GUIDES for great upgrade assistance.
Otherwise, a very nice introduction to the forums. One other thought (now that I think of it) which may help explain the rather cool reception our noob friend received. These forums got their origins as an exchange of very technical information between devlopers - like the nearly-godlike Olipro, pof, MrVanx, duttythroy, sleuth, jasjamming, vp3g, schaps, faria and many, many others.... The more mundane "support-like" helpers like lowly old me is a rather new phenomenon that only starts once the ROM world gets more stable. We have achieved that in Hermes WM6 world. It is (as you have witnessed) a mixed blessing.
Either way, welcome to XDA-Developers, warts and all.

Thx guys, yeah I have the wiki page bookmarked and been reading through this site for hours. Very informative and interesting, which is why I joined. As for the welcome, it was just force of habit as with most forums you introduce yourself. Didn't mean to p*ss anybody off, just thought that was no way for a noob to be spoken to for saying hello (ok I did go on a bit). And I have the MRVANX guides bookmarked too, cheers

Well I received my M3100 this morning, nice machine, instruction book like a bible, but I'm having fun with it anyway. The GPRS doesn't work (something about settings) but google is my friend, oh and Device Information is:
Rom: Pro Black 3.0.1
Radio: 1.16.00.00

I assume you are in scotland? In your profile you can save what carrier and location you are. Helps for others to know in case you need help.
There is a page around here somewhere that has connection settings for different carriers somewhere....
I'll add it to this post when I find it.

Its ok, I got the GPRS settings from this site by searching, its up and running now. I can surf the net, only problem I have now is, how to disconnect when done surfing. I guess I should RTFM
As for Device Info, yeah I'm gonna stick it in my sig

Welcome to the forum!
A good start is to read here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser
Also read about the different ROM´s you are interested in, and then flash and enjoy!
Good luck,

well thank you
Im not sure but, do I have to unlock my Tilt (8925) to use all the programs?
If so, how do I unlock it? Whats the easiest way? (I bought it off ebay)
also are the programs free?

unlock is generaly a thing one does if the phone was bouth with a suscrition and as such tied to the sim card of the operator
some programs are free some cost money

Should I go with the Samsung Propel Pro?

I've been looking for a new phone for the past month, and today I have to make my decision.
For those of you who have a Samsung Propel Pro, or have used it for a while, I've got a few questions for you guys.
How is it?
Is it easy to put apps and other things on it?
How do you connect it to the computer?
Any annoying bugs on it?
Im not really a business man since i'm still in high school, should I still go with this phone? I've looked at other phones and they're either cheap looking or touch screen, which I don't really like since its sort of hard to text and can be sort of laggish at times..

Welcome to forums
We are an HTC devices only forum, so my recommendation is:
Go for an HTC device!!

I would go with an HTC PureT, and thats like the only HTC phone there is for AT&, but its a little bit over my budget :\ Could you PM me a WinMo based forum?

winmodevs.com
In fact a lot of non HTC users members are on that site
have a look on marketplace section
you can get sometimes a real good deal!

If you like to flash roms & customize, then go with HTC & XDA

There arent as many people there as there are over here lol.
