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.
Here you go
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?

Off course, if someone explains how to do it i will be happy to do it.
*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
I got my orbit last friday and apart from having a quick mess around with a few apps like iFonz and others i have not really touched on anything.
But i have noticed that the phone seems to be quite sluggish and would like to know if its possible to strip it right down to the core and then enabled features one by one to speed it up?
If i dont get this thing running a bit more snappy i may not be keeping it for long!
It's just generally a crap device...
I'm seriously thinking of getting rid...

It depends,
If you have HARD SPL so you can upgrade easily by copying the rom (.nbh) file to mem card and it installs by itself (there is thread in "polaris upgrading" forum explains exactly how 2do it).
If you don't have HARD SPL look for guides how to make it cause without it your cruise is "locked" for installing new roms.
I bought mine with HARD SPL installed so i donno how 2do it..

If I were you, I´ll reflash to an original or clean ROM and take advantage of the insurance, then repaired you can add again all your stuff back

this is a game similiar to paper toss on the iphone. Has anyone been able to get it to work on the hd2?
I try this game on my HD2, but it doesn't work.
When i want to play the game, i have a white screen
Is there somebody with the same problem ?
PS : sorry for my english, i'm french.
Same issue with this game and others from that developer, I have .net 3.5 and edited the reg to use, I tried using the driver they provide but that messes up the comp phone graphics so de installed that, my son has a diamond that has a cooked rom and his phone works????
I have htc off 1.61 rom ?
Any suggestions what I could try would be appreciated?
same for me
I have this and the other games from there working on my diamond, maybe this is a screen size issue, I read about a screen resizer on here maybe that will fix?

It works quite well on HD2. But the game is not as elegant as the Paper Toss.
I've got WiToss V1.1 for HD2
just pm me, I might be nice enough to share

Morning All,
Just a quick question to those who recently upgraded to the new O2 Rom....
The Manila version is 2012, but I can't for the life of me see any of the talked about differences (extra tabs, ability to reposition contacts etc...) At present I looks and feels like o2 / HTC have just renames 1920 to 2012.... Can someone prove me wrong?
Also whilst I'm on the line.... I've lost the home screen icon for the taskmanager and can't find (and believe me I've searched) for the right cab / tweak to get it back....
Finally, (sorry) way before o2 got their act into gear there were masses of modifications to the 2012 version of Manila.... Have these all died out?
Thanks for your pearls!!!
Interesting...
I've just sent my HD2 back to O2 for repairs (batt/charging problem)
Wanted to know, will they update it to the latest Rom/Radio/Manila?
Not sure if I want them to now....
Going to mess up my ready to go back up.... sigh... I feel a new build coming on...
I believe that they will - happened to me previously....
Does Manila 2012 support landscape? All I get a blank screen.....
I've never been so confused... thought I knew the phone well........

Very good upgrade.
Phone is faster now and the battery keeps longer.
Installed all applicactions, everything works fine
+1
Since ive had it, it hasnt slowed down at all or needed a soft reset. Noticably faster.
Can anyone tell me how to find out what hotfixes are included in the Rom so I know what I still have to install?
Thanks
