Hi,
Today i have a QTEK 9000, but feel its time to get something new. I Definitely want something smaller. Functions i am in need of is following:
WM6
HSDPA
Bluetooth
Good battery time (at least 2 days)
But that its not too big feels important im already carrying a laptop
Please come with suggestions and please explain why you suggest a certain phone.
Thanks all in advance
is it possible? id so, how can i do it?
In short... Nope
........impossible since the ipaq h5550 is way too old. No one is really bothered with such technology, however i do like the fingerprint reader built in which was quite innovating for a pocket pc.
ive got one of them somewhere, 1 st pda i had, 2003 was as new as it would run, every time the battery went flat, it hard reset itself !

Hi,
I just got my new phone, still a lot of learning left to do
(last time I used a WM device was a year ago, an Axim X50V on wm2003se)
I got a problem with the TV-Out
I plug it in the TV, but I can only see a very small portion of the screen
I checked the manual but it says nothing about that
I can post pics if no one else had that problem
I have that same problem. When I got my Flame, I thought great, now I can plug it into the TV and show a movie. But it doesn't seem to work like that. It works fine with Powerpoint though. Maybe O2 will fix this problem if they release WM6 for the Flame?
Hi
Only had my Orbit 2 for a few days and already there are quite a few problems with it...most of which got resolved so not too bothered there
However there is one problem that I cant fix. Sometimes when I bring up the TouchFLO it will crash on the screen with the radio, copilot, alarm, etc. The text under the icons does not load and the only way to get out of it is by pressing the end call key.
Soft reset doesnt solve the problem, it did once but only temporarily.
Hard reset has solved it (don't know if the problem will come again), wouldn't mind too much about that except I did a hard reset about 2 days ago for another reason so it is clear the device is just screwing up somehow. I barely installed much software on it.
So i've only hard resetted once to see if I can solve the problem and so far its worked. Hope its not temporary.
If anyone could help me I'd be grateful
(P.S. The button with the end call key and 'OK' is a bit loose, I can jiggle it about slightly left and right...)
Never had this many problems with my Artemis and for a device worth over £300 (over $600) I really think this is unacceptable. First the drivers, and now small problems which screw up the device totally. HTC are messing up big time and I think with all their negative feedback O2 might just cut down on buying their products.
The only time I've ever had Touch Flo, well, the Touch Cube crash was due to my installing City Time Alarms. After uninstalling, everything went back to normal. Maybe a specific app was causing your woes?
I installed an old version of SKTools and did a registry cleanup, maybe that had something to do with it... It did delete a whole lot of stuff..
I remember the problem only occured after I installed SKtools. I did do a hard reset earlier today and that was because the device became slow.. but nothing to do with TouchFlo.
Anyway I have hard reset the device now so I should not be getting any more problems from it..
But I am getting worried about the deivce though, there are so many bugs with it! Like today when the alarm went off to wake me up, the GPRS was turned on for about 56 minutes and I was definately asleep so I couldn't have turned it on!
I am scared to install a program on it incase that likes to mess up my device!
Also, is it normal for the right buttons (end call/OK) to be a BIT wonky? Like you can move it a bit from left to right? They work perfectly fine and I doubt they will suddenly detach or something! If you shake the device you CANNOT hear the slighlty wonky keys or anything, but just got a bit worried cos the other keys opposite it (pickup/windows) is not wonky at all...
This device is not worth £300
At most I would say it is worth £250
It is just so full of bugs and I have never had these kinds of problems with the other 4 PDAs that I have owned in the past. The more higher tech you go, the more unreliable the device becomes. My XDA II which I owned about 2 years ago was the most reliable I've ever had. HTC are really screwing it up and I think they are more interested in their money than their customers. I hope they screw up big time and I mean big time. If it wasn't for XDA-Developers they would have been out of business a long, looong time ago.
With regards to HTC, they didn't screw up. Sounds to me, just like anything you buy, you got a lemon. I would exchange it for another unit, not only for the system instability but also the "defective" (loose) button.
I bought the item off eBay so I cannot return it
The button is fine though, its nothing major it only moves ever so slightly and I dont think theres any problem with it. It works perfectly fine, I shouldn't really have mentioned it in the first place!
The system instability is normal though I am sure, look at what other problems people are having with their devices that get resolved every day.
O2/HTC doesnt expect lots of users to install custom ROMS (well I haven't) or edit the registry so the devices will be more user friendly and if you play about with that it can screw up.
I thought the device is kinda bad but I guess i'm happy with it, If I just use it normally and stop trying new things out on it and stop using programs like SK tools (lol) then I'll be fine. And if I have any small problems I am sure they can get resolved on here.
Anyways I am only 15 so I am going to be happy with what i've got lol!

I had the same problem. You actually have to let it sit for about 10 mins and it will load. If you close it, it might freeze for another 10 mins. After some time, the problem went away for reasons I cannot explain. Then, every time I select a button on the cube, the cube closes and I have to reopen it every time I want to use it.
Also, the bugs related with the "Word Completion" option, which does not function correctly, gave me a miserable experience with writing and typing. It slowed my writing and typing because I constantly have to correct bad guesses. I cannot turn it off either because the "Word Completion" option does not work. Sure I could go into the registry and mitigate the problem, but I returned it as a manufacturer defect.
I assume it will go back to HTC and I hope it will result in a response to fix the problems. For >$800 after tax, I would expect the purchase to function correctly.
Hi
Yes the word completion is annoying, I can't turn it off either. It is annoying when you write smaller words such as 'sed' as opposed to 'said', the word completion decides to change it.. It is really annoying especially when you have to type on the move. Not to mention it uses up a whole lot of characters when you try to said a text message. It is much easier and quicker to write 'thru', it uses only 4 characters whereas the proper spelling of the word 'through' uses up 7 - nearly double. With a limit of 160 characters per message you will find that you will quickly reach that limit. I have quite a lot of free texts so I do not mind much but I hate it when it puts the incorrect word in the place!
Also with your TouchFLO problem, did you try hard resetting the device? I found that if you play about with the registry the phone quickly messes up. That is understandable but harmless registry modifications such as the 'ShowSIM' can even screw up your phone!
If a problem appears on my device can I give it to O2 to repair for a fee -- I do not have a warentee so if they agree to fix it for a fee only then that seems fair.

Maybe its just me, but while programs like sktools can simplify your life, I really hate the idea of a non-device specific program tweaking my registry. I like to do it myself so that I know exactly what goes in, and I can assess exactly what comes out. FYI: I've never had a crash due to registry mods (but in my early days (pre-Touch Cruise) of installing random cabs and fixes I did get crashes).

Just soft resets. I didn't want to wait 10+ hours to resync my emails, contacts, etc after a hard reset.
I have a Nokia 6210 Navigator, that got wet, I disassemble it, even the metal sheets, I dry it all I could, but nothing changed.
That was two years ago, and today I found it and I want to give it another shoot.
I'm gonna explain what the mobile can do, with this video:
It seems that the screens turns on (black screen), then it makes sounds like the battery is low, but is charging, and if you press the ON button it turns on the keys leds. Thats it.
I don't know what I can do, I have a tester but where I start? When I disassemble it all looks ok.
I know this is not the best forum to post it, if you know any better site to to ask fot it :good:
Here is an official disassembly video, but it don't say what to test or look for.
PD: Well I finally got all the info, but is massive and I don't know if I can do anything with it
Nokia shematics: http://elektrotanya.com/nokia_6210n_[rm-367]_schematics_sch.pdf/download.html
And the Reapir service manual for nokia technicians http://elektrotanya.com/nokia_6210n_[rm-367]_l34.pdf/download.html
And the Nokia service Software http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Nokia_Phoenix_Service_Software
Nothing to do with the software as I expected, the phone does not start. Software itself works, I tested other phones.
The navigator seams to respond in "some" way to a hard reset, it vibrates for a moment.
Time to retire...
