[Q] WinMobile QUERTY DualSim,fake "WM6.5" ? - General Questions and Answers

Hi Guys,
having had the "pleasure" tried three other DualSim ChinaPhones, I know that our Chinese Friends (they always call everybody "my firend") are up to everything to make a few 100.000 sales.
Here I found a QWERTY WinMobile which would be a fine solution ( for DualSim AND WinMobile) if the look of the display icons wouldnt make me suspicious...
It would be kind if you guys have a visual look at it and write your opinion.
Any other QUERTY ones you know of, happy to read it too! Thanks

I've seen that same model on Solomobi and it does run *genuine* WM6.5.
Thing is I'm not a fan of small screens or of phones with tiddly keyboards like the BlackBerry phones have.
EDIT: It's also cheaper on Solomobi. It's at solomobi.com/product-3962.html (copy and paste).
(For some reason I don't trust URL shorteners.)
Also the waiting 5 mins for us newbs is annoying.

Thanks Bricky for the link, yes, seems that this is the newer model, and for the info that it'S not just a "look-a-like" WinMob!
(...the tiny Windows-Symbol in the lower left Corner of the Display just does seem to be unusual, or am I wrong?)

My WinMo has the same layout so I wouldn't see it as unusual.

Removing the HTC predictive text thing?

On my original Orbit, the predictive text was the built in WM one (even after the WM6 update), but on the Orbit 2 it's the black one which isn't the WM6 one but presumably is the HTC replacement. However, I don't like it. Partly because I type a lot of texts from my PC using Pocket Controller Pro to type directly into the message. With the HTC predictive thing, if I type at normal speed, it drops characters, but the original Microsoft WM one doesn't. So now I have to type v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y, which is a PITA.
So that's a long winded way of asking whether I can switch back to the Microsoft predictive text.. thanks!
Did you even look at the settings? Or use google before posting?

Yes, neither of which came up with a solution. Is there a specific google search I should try which will give me the right answer?

Still nothing. "Is there a specific google search I should try which will give me the right answer?". If you've got a point to make about looking up answers then you're not making it very well. Perhaps demonstrate that the answer is out there and easily found by showing me what I should be looking for. Stuff like "remove polaris xt9" "remove touch cruise xt9", doesn't give me any site that tells me what I need to know. Presumably you know different, so let's see what you've got.

What a twat! If you know the answer, then share it - or even better, put it in the Wiki. Don't post three times on the same topic, just to tell the OP that he should Google for it - especially when it patently isn't intuitively obvious to find.
(I too would like to get rid of this Predictive Text mode, and I too am unable to find it using search engines - and yes, there are other search engines than Google.)
Besides him being a twat in other posts, he's got a valid point here.
RTFM, it's in the user manual that came with your HTC Polaris. Read it again, it's easy to spot.
Go to your keyboard options and select the specific keyboard settings... his hint about XT9 should be all you need by now.
By the time I finished typing this post and went back to thread listings I saw this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357744 thread as the bottom listing...
search and you'll find.. Most of it is already posted (besides the various hardware bugs this type of device is suffering from )

Nothing in the manual describes what I want to do. I've just checked a PDF of it and searched and re-read every reference to "XT9". Nothing in any of the threads I've read describes how to do what I want to do. You on the other hand seem to think differently so I've asked you a number of times now to be specific, but it seems you can't be. I wonder why...

Nope, all you've done is be a sanctimonious little twat and just displayed that for all your RTFM protestations, you ironically hadn't read the OP properly. Explanations for changing the XT9 settings are indeed present in the manual, but that *isn't* what I asked for.

Really? But according to you, I should RTFM for my answers. Why suggest that if it actually doesn't solve the problem? Have you realised now how your RTFM suggestions were actually unmerited? Has the penny finally dropped that from day one, whilst you were pontificating from your high horse, you were actually talking utter ****e because you hadn't read the original question properly? I think so.

Since you can't prove a negative, how can you be sure that it can't be done? There's probably loads of things that people think can't be done until someone discovers a registry setting or some other way of doing it.

Riiiiight .. and in those messages you told me to "RTFM" and "Google", neither of which have come up with a working answer. I haven't found one and neither have you. If they were good enough, then how come you haven't come up with a working solution either, huh? Yeah, there's been a "road of discovery", alright, but it's not been the one I asked about...

LOL! I only said that in my last post, and if you hadn't botched up so badly and got on your high horse in the first place, then I'd have had nothing to comment on. Clearly you've got a bee in your bonnet about people posting FAQs (so much so as to include a whine about it in your sig), but on this occasion you got it wrong and were way too eager to jump on someone's back that you simply didn't bother to properly comprehend what was being asked.

Well firstly I'm amused that you would come up with this, despite telling me in your last post that "I'll make something obvious clear: You can't have the old WM word suggestion back". Sounds to me like you haven't actually got a clue what you're talking about.
But I've already tried that and it doesn't work, not on my device anyway, it makes no noticeable difference. TBH I was then a bit worried about installing a cab that turns out to make no difference that I could tell, but dissecting the CAB meant it was easy enough to ensure its changes could be undone with confidence.

Well you're wrong again. The manual doesn't tell me how to restore the WM6 prediction, which is what I asked for. I knew this before I even posted the OP. If the manual was enough, then how come, after all your bleating have you still not managed to point out a working solution?
Next time mate, learn to read the OP properly before making botched assumptions and then acting like a sanctimonious arsehole. You'll only look like a little twat in the long run when it's pointed out to you that you were wrong and have absolutely no basis for your whining.
The manual is useless to me also. I went into the Input mode and disabled everything, but it still suggests word, adds a space, etc.
I prefer to use the Block Recognizer and it continually adds spaces.
If I want it to suggest a word when entering a calendar event, it does not suggest a word even if I turn on the option to suggest words.
Basically, it does everything I do not want it to do!
I did some searches also, but I really did not get any useful results other than the basic text shown in the manual.
It's not my fault that you can't consider the lack of information in the manual and in forums as information in itself.
No info in the maunal, can't restore it to default (whithout tweaking).
CAB's not working, can't restore it to default (whith tweaking) - also according to your last post you found that already, so there is another (older) thread dealing whith your problem (at least partialy).
You don't have the knowledge to restore it, if you had it you would have restored it already.
In conclusion, you can't restore the Original one. How am I wrong?

Funny... that should work properly... have you tried any other ones (3rd party)? If you did, did the XT9 work correctly? (I'm just asking because I use Resco Keyboard, and didn't have any problems whith the XT9)
The best thing you can do about it is to wait for someone comes up whith a solution, but I don't belive there will be one, just newer versions of XT9 that (maybe) works properly. Or try other ROMs (like the upcoming Polaris Project ROM, or bepe's), and hope one of them has the XT9 working properly, or has the original.

There's a lot of information on this site that isn't in the manual. There's information on other sites that isn't on this site nor in the manual.

You're wrong because you told me to RTFM when (as I already knew), the answer to my question wasn't there. You were wrong when you suggested I was being lazy. You were wrong in your original misinterpretation of what I'd asked, leading you to give wrong advice. You were in a wrong position to get on your high horse because I actually wasn't guilty of anything that you were pontificating about. You were wrong to suggest that the answer lay in a Google search because you've yet been unable to come up with it. Oh, and you are wrong each time you put "whith" instead of "with", despite me already pointing this out to you.
That enough wrongs for you?

Thankyou, some reasonable opinion at last. I'll also investigate what I can do to restore the WM6 predictive text by comparing my Orbit WM6 image with my Orbit 2 WM6 image.
So how do I remove the predictive text thing then?

Wish list and fix requests for FUZE including FM Radio!?!

Welcome... The Fuze is here and below are some of my initial feelings regarding the phone. Hopefully you guys can answer some question and provide feedback as well.
Got it... Had to argue with employees to find a store that would sell it to me.
Funny damn thing is this. They coud have inventoried them and then gave them to us but rather they, some of the ATT employee's, were being lazy so I just had to find a store that would sell it to me.
First impressions... Software complaints... Yes I want it all.
FIXED here on XDA = THANK YOU!!! First off, where is the DAMN clock that is animated. Damn you ATT wtf would you get rid of this for. You are asking for mods when you do Shiz like that. Anyone know how to get this back and in general the black theme overall?
To that point, First 1B... Why can't we change the there period and if so how?
Second, Youtube, Where are you??? I can go to the site but the youtube application sure the hell doesn't work cause I can't even find it.
Third, The messaging feature is way cooller than the proprietary WM6.1 junk but what sux is that A. id doesn't collect all the messages for you from one person... and B. when you reply it just goes back to the native WM6.1 isn't there a way someone could get this to be the actuall text program???
Forth, Where the hell is the external camera button. I will first thing change the PTT to the camera button but what the heck would you get rid of this for?
Fifth, where is the damn program that cuts songs mid stream and allows you to have them as a ring tone???
Try reading the threads here and searching. I bought mine yesterday and have found almost everything you mention!

I like threaded text and wish the interface did it as well. I just hate the format in which WM 6.1 does it in... Does that make sense?

Since this is obviously a redundant thread created by someone who didn't spend much time looking, i think you should be careful with the words that you choose. The was correct in saying that most of what you requested is easy to find if you look for it. If you have a questions related to FM radio, you might try posting it in the threads already talking about the FM radio feature. Also, maybe posting ideas about development of TF3D in any of the existing TF3D threads. I bet the guys who are best suited to integrate the features you're looking for will see it there.

Most stuff that runs on the diamond will run on the touch pro, and almost everything that runs on a touch pro will run on a Fuze. Really the difference will only be something that needs the front camera to run i would think. You should feel plenty confident that you'll be able to hack your Fuze to your heart's content.

The main exception that I've found is themes. A lot of the Diamond themes won't work right on the Fuze in landscape mode (with the keyboard slid out). Some will work but it seems kind of hit-and-miss.

yeah it's the same with the polaris, nike, and kaiser. The devices that don't support landscape obviously aren't gonna work very well in landscape. But a lot of the times the issues with software is being at the right resolution. Themes...well that's definitely a different story.

Many Thanks - Now I just have to work through understanding the ATT Data Plans before I upgrade

Welcome... The Fuze is here and below are some of my initial feelings regarding the phone. Hopefully you guys can answer some question and provide feedback as well.
Got it... Had to argue with employees to find a store that would sell it to me.
Funny damn thing is this. They coud have inventoried them and then gave them to us but rather they, some of the ATT employee's, were being lazy so I just had to find a store that would sell it to me.
First impressions... Software complaints... Yes I want it all.
FIXED here on XDA = THANK YOU!!! First off, where is the DAMN clock that is animated. Damn you ATT wtf would you get rid of this for. You are asking for mods when you do Shiz like that. Anyone know how to get this back and in general the black theme overall?
To that point, First 1B... Why can't we change the there period and if so how?
Second, Youtube, Where are you??? I can go to the site but the youtube application sure the hell doesn't work cause I can't even find it.
Third, The messaging feature is way cooller than the proprietary WM6.1 junk but what sux is that A. id doesn't collect all the messages for you from one person... and B. when you reply it just goes back to the native WM6.1 isn't there a way someone could get this to be the actuall text program???
Forth, Where the hell is the external camera button. I will first thing change the PTT to the camera button but what the heck would you get rid of this for?
Fifth, where is the damn program that cuts songs mid stream and allows you to have them as a ring tone???

I agree with this post. Everything here should have been provided WITHOUT having to 'hack' the phone. Much of these things I was expecting as well that also convinced me to buy this phone.
Yeah, yeah...give it some time, they'll be hacks galore for the Fuze specific, since the Diamond things aren't completely 'compatable' with the Fuze.
I think ATT did much too much as far as stripping down this phone.
And they have the nerve to keep the HTC name...[HTC Fuze] Ha!
What part of HTC is still left on it??

This is a good one-stop shop for these links. Might it be useful (to avoid redundancy) for the Mods to move these links into this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439781 (this is the sticky "Useful Links thread" on the Raphael discussion section).
Might be good to continue updating that thread so we don't get so many new threads like "How do I get the FM Radio to work" etc...
Ok, heres my wish for my new fuze. i wat to view flash content such as mlb.tv and some radio stations such as wfan NY, but the phone doesn't do it. if someone could let me know how to do this i would love it.
thanks

Thanks this is awesome as this one place to get all of this information is so much better than searching everywhere for them. I really do appreciate it. AS well, the only thing that really still doesn't work is the PTT button remapping. Any success anywhere else on that?

You do realize that you are quoting the link to the answer of that very question?

Actually, there has been some development since that thread. Take a look at this one. It is possible to map the PTT button using AE Button Plus (all except for single-press, which apparently causes the Home button to do the assigned action as well as bringing up the Home page, but the other three possibilities seem for the moment to work okay).

Thank you as this information is actually better than the other thread given. This seems to work pretty well.

New person saying hi and asking some Q's

Hi everyone xx
I've been lurking on the forum for a couple of weeks now and slowly getting the hang of things however I have a few questions.
I have an XDA Zest and I'm just confused of all the abbreviations and jargon on here that I'm not sure what apps and mods I can use.
I've figured out I can only go for things that are VGA and compatible with WM, but other than that I just feel stupid
I am quite techie minded and do learn quickly and have managed to do little things on my phone but 3 questions off the top of my head.
Can someone recommend a free MP3/media player for my phone, WMP is pants and has no way to set the bass or anything. Putting the word music into the search here brings up loads! I tried one called flip or something like that that was Iphone-ish but that was on a trial and I wasn't that keen on it.
I love changing themes on my phone but on this handset it just seems like such a minefield. I saw a lovely HTC high gloss one (I think) and I was just baffled by it all. Is there a dummies guide somewhere?
Also, I am constantly hitting the send or menu button when writing a text, is there an easy way to move these buttons?
Many thanks xx
Media player, there's two spring to mind, S2P and TCPMP. Search and ye shall find.
Many thanks. I had a look at TCPMP earlier but the site I was on said it was discontinued and now being charged for, I think I might have found the correct one.
Afterthought/ Maybe not, it keeps saying I have to send the crash.txt to the developers. After a search on here it seems it was a common thing, I'll carry on looking.
EDIT: I've got it working, I found a different CAB file someone posted and that one works!
at least you used the search ur in minority there
lol
Unfortunately the Zest is not an HTC phone, so you will not find any support for it here. It is Windows Mobile so you can use generic WM apps. The interface I believe is Spb Mobile Shell, so you can search for tweaks for that.

Yes I did realise there wouldn't be much support but I have found so much information on here as it is and little bits and bats. I found a fab SIP on here last night which I love. I'm just not sure as to what I can and can't use, is it just basically check its VGA and WM compatible and some trial and error?

It's not on there is it. I don't think he's paying attention
And most Android phones.
Then the new Palm ones.
Not sure about the Blackberries though.
maybe he accidentally missed the part that read "go here and check the boxes that you want and it will come up with all the phones + ones that arnt even out yet"
edit, wow i get it now... im out of it lol nvm this post
No, I simply misplaced my post, it was intended to another thread
Sorry to OP
The 3 iPhones, the 2 Palm phones that came out this year, a majority of the Android phones (I think the Tattoo is the only one that has resistive), and Blackberry Storm 1/2. Those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head.
Thanks for the help
