Greetings, World.
Every now and then a complete idiot writes in and asks a stupid question.
Well I cannot be a complete idiot because I've had my appendix taken out, but I do have a major challenge with this old SPV M2000. I've gotten it shifted to Vodafone UK from Orange. However I've had no success getting it to notice that I've put in a 4Gb card. I assume it doesn't need formatting since it's brand new, and I haven't found how to as yet anyway. Anybody got any clues?
Jim
Your phone probably doesn't support the 4GB that use the 'new' SDHC format .
Hi all,
I have been using o2 XDA and XDA II mini for many years , i tried almost all new phones with WM5/6 and i am very much sure that it does not serve my purpose and work.
Can I buy a new 02 / HTC touch dual or tytn and load windows 2003 on it.
I understand that i will loose warranty etc. but is it possible. pros & cons?
Can i do it ? how ?
thanks
roms are tailored 100% for a device
so if the device maker never made a 2003rom for a device
one would have to start from scratch and maybe
have to reverse engineer drivers if some were requied
and not available in a wm2003 model

if someone really wants to spend money and energy he can,but it would be better to have wm5 or 6 for some devices like magician instead an overcomed 2003 for newer ones like touch dual, pharos,cruise,diamond
and by the way people developing os are trying to make a better os every time, and in most cases they do it, so you get better memory handling, better drivers...faster device if you want it that way
WOW! Why would you want to put a server OS on your phone? lol

do you have a specific for example compatibility problem with WM5+?
I have over 10,000 client contacts on my phone , I transferred data to couple of new phones with wm5 and wm6. All is well till I try to search. When i search for a contact it takes around 5 mins on new phones with wm5 and wm6 . It takes 3-4 secs on the the XDAII and XDA mini for the same. having tried many phones and tools , i assumed that the problem should be with OS. with improved graphics and whole lot of other features which take up the active resources may be the search module does not get all that is required.
MY xda mini 2003 / xda II 2002 have less features ,less graphics so they are faster is what i have concluded from all these experiments that i have done wit new phones.
Thanks

If you compare the search tool with my kind of data, you will understand taht the new OS is not of any help to me. I agree , that there may be whole lot of new features and drivers , But search in a n integral part of the os and don't understand why that should change. and it works superb in earlier versions 3 secs V/s 5 mins to search.
Your problem is caused by a new way of working with memory in WM5+ systems. WM2003 used part of RAM as a storage medium for installed programs and also contact databases were located there. WM5+ uses internal flash instead. Data from flash doesn't disapear when you run out of battery juice. On the other hand it is a numerous times slower. However i cannot imagine the slowdown would have been so drastic. I would advise you trying the fastest possible device with lots of RAM (Samusng Omnia i900 or HTC Touch Diamond). It is possible the slowdown will be more acceptable. If it will be no success you can modify some ROM to use RamDisk as a storage medium. However, there are no new devices with WM2003 ROMs available.
That is the most convincing answer that i have got since last year when i started looking for replacement for my XDA.
After trying almost every new and latest PDAs in the market, I am sure that the new PDAs will not be any great help
BUT your statement - " Modify some ROM to use RamDisk as a storage medium." makes me hopeful.
Unfortunately, for novice like me it ends there. I don't know how modify ROMS, or any place where i can get it done. Even if i get one, i don't know how to load it. Tutorials did not help much, they were just too much technical. I may be a odd one in this developer forum, but this is only place where i think i can get the answer. I am just looking for PDA that is just equvialent to my XDA II and XDA mini
Many Thanks for your response
I have a Nokia N96 16Gb PDA and I would like to know how could I resoft it by using a MicroSD card because I can't get it started. I heard that on this forum I will find a method to do it but until now the majority of the answers are for THC PDAs.
May someone help me please?
Hello Everyone,
Yes, I know the dreaded topic! I figured I would post and go search, if I find everything I will delete this!
I am about 6 classes from finishing up my Associates Degree with my GI Bill, yay for free school!
I am in school for IT and am specializing in Cisco so far. I interact with a bunch of pdf files, websites and videos for studying this. I also use ebooks for my various core classes that I can find the class books for online So i am looking for a tablet to read and study with first and foremost.
Secondly being the technology guy I am, I would love a tablet that works well with forums. I often find myself fighting with mobile forums on my phone and just can not stand it. I also love to watch/stream shows and anime. Maybe emulate a snes game here and there.
I also do not need a surface 3 pro, as i have an i7 laptop with 16gb of ram. So this tablet is strictly for the above stuff, of course there is a possibility of using it to send an email and facebook messages but thats nothing special.
A list of things I am sure I would be asked if I did not list them:
10 inch tablet preferred
battery life important
expandable storage(sd card)
I would prefer android
lightweight yet sturdy and wellbuilt
decently fast
the above list are things i figure are important to state.
Anything I may have missed I am sorry, just ask and I will respond!
Regards,
V
I would suggest the Samsung Galaxy Tab S, or the Nexus 10 if you don't mind that much about external storage, maybe a refurbished Nexus 10 would be cheaper. Tablets with SD card slots aren't very easy to find these days.

Well any form of adding memory would work, doesnt have to be an sd card.
I will look at the galaxy tab tho, thanks
So my buddy bought his son his first phone. It's through Tracphone. ZTE Atrium. it's running Android 6.1 the thought was to buy a cheep phone to see if he takes care of it. Bad mistake. This phone is worthless.
The phone has no internal memory. Son put 3 games on it and it's full. I suggested getting a memory card and moving the apps to the card. Well after formatting the card, the phone won't move the apps to the card. I read online that android can format card as internal storage. nope. Someone said to format card in older android phone. Mine is version 5. That didn't help either. People said that android 6.1 changed how cards are used. I don't know as I have a galaxy s5 rooted with Android 5.
What can we do other than buy a better phone?
