HTC Touch Pro
anyone have new programs for the HTC Touch Pro with windows 6.1 operating system... I am tired of those Fruity phones having neat programs and I don't...
I hate fruit!

Hello!
I have got the Xda Diamond (~HTC Diamond from o2 Germany) with Windows mobile 6.1
I´m studying at the Technological University of Berlin. To log on the local area network (eduroam) of the university, I need a VPN client. But there is no version working with WM6.1, I tried about three different clients (it always says, that ... is no win32-application)
For example that one (as recommended by the network administration of the TU Berlin):
http://www.tubit.tu-berlin.de/filea.../Windows_Mobile/SecureW2_EAP_Suite_112_CE.zip
Does anybody which client I should take?
Thank You for answering and greetings from Germany
Network storage application
I would like to have an application that could convert my micro-sd card into a network storage, being able to access this folder through my home lan. It would be similar to WM5torage but for WiFi (not usb).
Please note that I'm NOT asking for a way to access a network folder in my PDA (the usual reply I get). I already know how to do this with total commander. What I want is a way to create a shared folder inside Windos Mobile, that I can access from my computer through my home network.
TIA.
Visual Voicemail
I think that Visual Voicemail is a place where Windows Mobile is lacking compared to the iPhone.
It would function by receiving emails with mp3/wav attachments from online voicemail services such as Youmail. It would cypher the information from the email and provide information for that voicemail.
There is a discussion on the topic right now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260
A developer has started toying with it but NEEDS help!
Thanks everyone!
Hi
Im using Imate Jam (Magician).
I want a software which turns my ppc into an answering machine i-e it can automatically reply/block sms and accept/reject/hang/answer calls based on predetermined rules. The software should also have the capablity of scheduling text messages and then sending them out smoothly.
Ill be extremely grateful if you help me out and provide such software.
If such software already exists please pardon me and tell me where to get it.

MOD EDIT 2: User is looking for something that supports wm 2003
i think my request would be somewhat easy to accomplish, but as im not so technically inclined (and somewhat too lazy to really try), ill ask here....
....what im looking for is a way to have area code matching on my Kaiser, or on Windows Mobile phones in general.....what i mean is like, when i receive or place a call, once the number is dialed, it shows the state corresponding to the area code i've dialed.....i know my old Samsung A920 did this, along with some other Samsung and Sanyo phones, and i think it would be great for WinMo....
Yet another think XDA's lack is a Myspace app. Maybe we can get something rolling like this facebook app that is being created???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455263
Please back me up if you would like to see an app like this.
A "visual voicemail" app for diamond and other ppc phones that can record phone calls
as some of you may already know the diamond can record both sides of a conversation during a phone call using the notes application.
I read in another forum where someone was asking about visual voicemail and since sprint charges for forwarding calls there is no good option.
I was thinking maybe if there was a developer willing to give it a go to develop a "visual voicemail" application that would answer the phone after a user defined amount of rings,
Record the message while muting the phone's mic of course that way you don't get background noise from your own phone and then save it in mp3 or wav.
Then have it give you the phone number the time, date and the option to listen to the message either with a built-in player or with windows media.
To give you a visual of what i'm talking about if you've seen the visual voicemail app on the samsung instinct something like that but everything is done on the phone side.
Hopefully someone will agree that this would be a useful program and give it a shot.
Attention Required to upgrade my fone !!!
Hi All,
I juss found the update with HD elements in the forum which seems to have a good impact.
Let me start of with my problem. i'm using HTC Touch(might be ELF) and i keep visiting xda forums for new apps., for my fone. I installed Manila 2D earlier which made the fone very very very slow. I'm giving you my details of the fone below.
Rom Version : 2.20.720.2B WWE
Rom Date : 10/02/07
Radio Version : 03.07.90
Protocol Version : 4.1.13.51
ExtRom Version : 2.20.720.103
RAM Version : 128MB
Flash Size : 256MB
Storage Size : 144.23MB
Model No : ELF0100
My Fone is working on WM 6.0
Now what is require is i would like to have to install WM6.1 on my fone with the new Touch VIVA Interface. Is this possible ? if so please cud some one assist me how to install for the same. As earlier i written Manila 2D made the fone completely slower. So i would like to upgrade my ROM (what ever) as i not much aware of this installations or upgrades.

Jeyo Mobile Companion alternative and HTC Phone pad Upgrade
Well my request wouldnt be new anymore but i still want to pursue it if ever a developer would make it,
a jeyo mobiler software like, that can manage your text messages from the pc, send, recieve and read text messages from the pc and lastly a decent back up process that could backup even if ur message is over 160 characters (1 message line) jeyo has a screw up on the back up process coz, it shortens a text message fixed to 160, so if your text message is 165, if jeyo is to back it up it will only store a 160 char message back up. you lost the data. I need to back up morethan 5000 messages and most of which are over 160 character.
another request would be a newer version for HTC phone pad input..
this input application ROCKS! its like using a cellphone keypad over your pocket pc. so texting wouldnt be so much of a problem if your walking or something. the modification i would like to ask is character deletion from 2 character to one and higher WM version compatibility, as I tried it before, phone pad had issues with WM6.1.
alarm sound on vibrate/silent?
in some ROM's there is an option under "more" in clock & alarms that allows you to enable the alarm sounding when on silent or vibrate. does anyone know of a CAB that you can install that will add this feature without downloading the whole ROM'?
VGA Backgrounds
Looking for a VGA background using orange & blue and/or the Florida Gators, University of Florida, UF, Gators... you get the idea. If not familiar with what shades of orange & blue... see examples of the latter.
I use TF3D, so I'm not looking for full out themes- no TSK files please.
Is there an application to delete a file && is there an application to run commands like dos batch??? my target is to make an installing cab that on the next startup start an application and then delete the file started or the link to the started application
PLZ coul you help me?!?!?
MOD EDIT: Give mortscript a try, grab a copy here
I am brand new to all this but am trying hard to learn as much as I can as quick as I can. I recently purchased a HTC Fuze because the guy told me it would be the last phone I would ever need to buy. Since I got the phone home I have been trying figure out all the programs and apps. I was recomended to this site as a way to improve the functionality of my phone but have had a hard time understanding what exactly is being discussed. I have never read so much and still felt so helpless. If there is anyone who is patient enough and willing to take the time to help me I would greatly appriciate it! If not here could someone recomend where I could find help. Thank you!

I am new to all this but am trying hard to learn as much as I can as quick as I can.
MOD EDIT: Go Here for a tutorial on installing programs to your ppc.
Ok first of all I would like to thank everyone here at xda-developers for all the hard work and time you put in everything you guys do.
And I would like to apologize for a few things
1) I m really sorry i can not support you guys financially because i dont have a credit card and money is very very very tight (i had to trick a girl in to buying the Touch Pro for me as a "gift" ) , i know it's painstaking work
2) I apologize for oppening a new thread I don't know if it's right place for it
3) I'm sorry for my bad english if I misspell something my english is somewhat rusty
4) I'm sorry if my ideas or thoughts will be the one's of a noob (but it's better to be one for 5 minutes then be one a whole life)
5) Sorry if my imagination is a bit wild
So with that out of the wey let me introduce myself and i'll get straight to the point
My name is Laurentiu but my but my friends call me Sayr
I'm from Romania (a small insegnificant rat hole of a country, if you don't know where that is just think DRACULA)
I live in Bucarest
And i'm 23
The Touch Pro is my first HTC phone and my second Windows Mobile powerd phone , my first was a E-Ten GloFiish X500 which i found on the street one day , and i loved Windows Mobile and with the things I could do with it since then.
I thought it was perfect till i started to search the web for apps and stuf and ran across this site and seen all the possibilities and started to tweek the phone but it got me thinking about how can it be better thanx to you guys.
So i would like to throw in my 2 cents. and ask your opinion .
----
1

- Is it possible to extend the Comm Manager to include the hidden settings for : beam , data connectin , 3G , etc... alongside the standard on off settings?
I discovered this settings using the advanced configuration tool
Because this setthings are very handy to have at hand
I know for certain that Beam is permananty activ by default, but i don't know for certain but i think that Beam uses up battery, i'v seen some improvement in battery power since i turned beam off , but perhap it's just mai imagination.
Data connection on/off setting is is also great to have at hand because in some apps it it doesn't startup automatically wen the app needs it or it doesn't shutdown after you exit the app , for example Skype 3.0
And 3G on/off setting is also grate
- Is it possible to have a program thet emulates Port 80? meaning that i can connect to the internet using the phone form a computer or laptop using the Port 8080 on the device,
Let me give you a example becaus i dont know technical talk, this is wath the guy over at vodafone technical support told me in regard to way i cant connect to the internet using the phone with the data plan i have , (is the only one available for prepaid cards in romania, there is another one but is way too expensive 1€ per MB , the more affordable one is 4€ per month and is unlimited , but it only work's on the phone) he said that the computer connects to Port 80 but the phone connects to port 8080 on the proxy server and the proxy server will not accept a incoming connection from Port 80, so can a bridge program be made to tel the proxy server that it is sending and receiving data from a app that uses Port 8080 when the PC tries to access the connectin , same same is true for some apps they will not accept this tipe of connectin becaus of the port difference, this port restriction closes many doors.
- Is it possible to make a phone lock that is simple and efficient to us and that eliminates annoying things.
Wath I'm thinking in in terms of features is:
*Automatic lock on sleeap
*Disengag via 2 second pres on center of the D-pad
*Lock screen wen incoming call but unlock after answering
*Obtional password protection
Very simple an comfortable to us, no annoying settings, no timers
Form me and i'm sure for many it would be the perfect thing to to avoid answering unwanted calls by mistake , calling by my mistake if phone turn's on in pocket, etc .....
- XDA tab, a tab in which you cand view the forum and a particular particular thread of your choosing and respond to postings in real time
and if posible to set it up to view other forums to?
- Bug Fix , when i set a ringthon other then the default "bips" for the SmS , mms , e-mail .... it doesn't stop ringing even after I read the message , it shod stop the moment i press the message tab,
Can this Bug be fixed? (i have standard/default rom)
- A minimize tab , ok we all know that we can set the "X" to close the apps completely a very nice feature provided by HTC but , some times we dont want to close a app for example Acrobat Reader or Opera or YouTube but want it or not we have to, it would be nice to have a tab to minimize one or more apps in while acces other apps and and sweach between them
----

Ok I'm back,
- So so another idea I'v got is for TouchFlo can TouchFlo asspacialy for the landscape mode,
ok so it's cool to have a TF interface like in portrait mode in landscape mode because the default one is horibal , but wath if we can make better use of it , to have different tabs in landscape mode then the ones in portrait mode that are more usefull in landscape ,
in landscape things like the pepel tab, standard home tab, pictures tab , music tab , etc , are not usefull,
but things like connectin manager tab , today tab , something like a mailing list tab , a programabil sms or email tab (by programabil i meen you can set it up to text or mail with a cerit contact or grup in that tab) , a skype tab , etc ...
- a radio tab for the inbuilt radio
- a small keymaping tweak to make "Enter" on the hardware keybord the send key via "Fn + Enter"
(i do aloat of texting that is the main reason i wanted a phone with a full qwerty keyboard, like 60 to 100 a day 2000 - 3000 a month i use it like messenger so it will be a lot nicer if the key was maped that wey , for pepel ho do a lot of texting)
- is the GPS recever on all the time ?
or it just start's up wen a'n app need's it ?
if it is permanantly on dosent it wareout the battery ?
can a on / off switch be made to tur it off wen it is of no use ?

Hi & welcome to XDA.... there really is a lot of information here for your phone - pretty much if you can think of it then it'll be here somewhere... just a quick idea reading through your post, the software to lock your screen have a look at PocketShield - I use
it and have to say the author is fantastic, updates almost daily and it's really cheaply priced for what it does (think it's under £7??) I've been using it for a while and think it's excellent, but that's just my opinion...
Anyways, hope you get some more answers to your questions, don't worry abou being a n00b, we all were at one time!!!
MadMic
Thanks for the heads up MadMic i'll look into it and
I'll look around the forum for more info so i can learn how to put my ideas in practice
but i truly wish for a few how-to's on how to do this things , on ware to start ,
wath is wath and on wath software's / programs to use , the basics, you know ,
in plain language ...
are there such things?
I read from this article:http://www.macrumors.com/2009/07/31/apple-to-release-fix-for-iphone-sms-vulnerability-on-saturday/
It says the vulnerability impacts our WM phone as well. Anyone has checked that and if fix is available? Tried using Google to search our beloved forum but didn't pop up anything yet ..
I read about this too and if it can be patched that quickly on Android then I'd hope it should also be a quick patch on WinMo, especially as the SMS functionality is implemented in pretty much the same way apparently.
Plus XDA has people who are working with Android so maybe they can share what changes Google have made?
I am fairly surprised this hasn't been picked up by the technical bods here as it is quite a major vulnerability and Apple and Google have patched their OS's so WinMo is trailing behind... unless someone knows of a patch thats already been done?
I'm going to PM some mods I know ..
Any response from them yet?
Our good Dave is going to check with some resident expert.. and hopefully some lights to be shed.
From the info I gathered, it actually result in DOS for iPhone and Android, but no news/confirmation on WM yet. So we don't know. However, given the method explored by the author, it's likely at minimum resulting the same (DOS, phone hung, etc.). I think, for phone user, this is critical, as you can't spend your day checking the phone always just to make sure it's still connecting to network/operators.
From what I read the vulnerability could allow for remote code execution including reading your phone's storage and activating cameras and gps. So someone could write an app that send this information back via the data connection and that person could be watched and tracked without knowing that there were compromised.
This is obviously worst case scenario but I for one would sit on the paranoia side of the fence and get it plugged. If we can.
From what I got and discussion, it's mostly DOS.
However, IMO, it still scary. You can't be contacted nor SMS-ed without you realizing until you need to initiate call/ connection.
For someone most of the time on receiving side (doctors, etc) it's really a danger. I do hope our resident expert can find out something, as I don't think MS will be doing it.
You may want to read this article where they interview one of the guys that found the vuln...

(Linked from Slashdot -
Specifically this bit on page 4...
Charlie: Collin's framework also works on Android and WinMobile. We found some denial of service bugs in Android (which we reported and are fixed) and a pretty bad bug in the way HTC WinMobile phones handle SMS messages containing the format specifier %n. That's a fun one because you don't need any special tools to send the malicious message, just use your phone to text your buddy with %n and their TouchFlo (application manager) will crash and won't come back up.

I believe the current HTC handsets come with WM6.1 now as standard, either HTC or Operator flavoured. As this is a forum for all HTC devices on WM5.0/6.0/6.1/6.5 can we have some testing done on stock ROM's on stock devices please?
I'm going to send a %n text to my buddy's phone and see.
At least now the thread is getting some attention. My concern is for people (like me) that rely more on receiving call/SMS than making call/sending SMS. A crashed network connection will result in no phone at all.
How'd the testing go and any movement on patching?
Just sent myself a %n message but nothing happened. On TPC v10.9 on M2D (Mega's M2D)
My friend is now using custom ROM .. so no try there. I don't have OEM that has M2D ..
What about just trying it on a bog standard WM6.1 OEM ROM from an operator.
Can do .. later perhaps when I'm changing ROM again. I thought it only crashes M2D? No OEM for Kaiser has M2D ..
Reviving this thread because iPhone is vulnerable. Not sure if IE also on our Kaiser? Opera?
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=14663
Somehow I think I broke some of the hardware because I can't answer calls anymore, whenever I try to answer/ignore it just freezes until it goes to voicemail and then tells me I have a missed call. I've flashed a few different roms, 6.1 and 6.5 and have the same problem across all of them.
I'm thinking if I should just buy another HD but they're pretty expensive because I need the T8285 (I live in the US) and it might be fun to try a new device. I'm also thinking about a Topaz or an Xperia, or maybe a Leo but they look really big so I'm not sure how I'd like it. Or maybe something else, I'm not too familiar with non-HTC phones. The features I really need are:
- Contacts/phonebook access from home screen
- Tasks access from home screen
- Calendar to keep track of events/appointments
- Phone looks cool (lol)
- GSM
- Some type of sync software to transfer contacts (and preferably tasks/calendar) to computer (like how Windows Mobile has the Windows Mobile Device Center)
Optional features I'd like but would be willing to sacrifice if necessary are:
- 3G internet (in the US)
- Weather feature like on HTC phones
- Replaceable battery
Can anyone recommend me a good phone? I don't really care what it is or how old it is as long as it has these features and is bug-free and able to answer calls. Thanks a lot!
Take a look at the Leo HD2 if you like WM...maybe a used one for better price!
Hi,
i tried several navigation solutions for vox, and here is a little review:
1. Sygic Mobile / McGuider
+ works on WM Standard without additional software (like FakeCoursor)
+ good graphics while navigation
+ no bluescreens (at all)
2. Navigon Mobile Navigator 7
+ best graphics while navigation
+ fast route calculation
- doesnt works on WM Standard without additional software (like FakeCoursor)
- crashes operating system so that you have to do a hard reset.
- doesnt recognize GPS-settings from last use
3. Garmin Mobile XT
+ works on WM Standard without additional software (like FakeCoursor)
+ fast route calculation
- works to slow to navigate, gives hint "turn right" when you already passed the crossing.
4. Route 66
+ works on WM Standard without additional software (like FakeCoursor)
no further testing because i didnt find a "free" map to test
Hope this "little" review helps some people looking for navigation software for vox.
I use an external gps - Jentro BT-GPS-8U.

Nice little compilation.
I am using Garmin Mobile XT and I never found it too slow (except when you're using the preview of turns which then takes too long to switch back to normal view). I have been using it here in Germany as well as in Scotland and it always found a pretty good route (except for a small street on a small scottish island hehe).
I am using a Bluemax GPS receiver.
You forgot to mention Tom Tom which with version 7.915 (I don't remember the build...maybe 9196) has become pretty usable without a fake cursor.
Also regarding my experience...McGuider is the nicer but the less reliable...something you can't thrust in.
GarminXT, is pretty decent to use, and more reliable...as stated by Frauhottelman...sure it isn't the smoother thing you'll see in your life...but, hei, you're running it on a 200 Mhz TI OMAP CPU.
TomTom ...i'm starting hating it...it does whatever it wants...IMO...On my Fuze it simply ignores the settings you set in it...and keep you crossing field roads...LOL.. damn it!
So my 2 cents go for the Garmin.
P.S: Whenever you'll go to the WM Pro platform...my suggest point all theway out for the Igo experience.
Did you test any of these without GPS connected, i´m thinking it could be used as a normal roadmap for finding your way without GPS.
Hey
anybody know why i cant get the device id for my vox in ttnavitor.bif?

no gps built into the vox BUT it has bluetooth + if you have a bluetooth gps mouse like from ebay etc you will have a gps signal as good as or better than most gps enabled cellphones...
