Does anyone know of any radar detection program for windows mobile 6 ?
I'm talking of the radar that traffic department use to detect you speed on the road. I know gadgets exist that detect the devices and give you early warning. iv'e heard the nokia phones have such a program, does anyone know if one exists for windows mobile phones ?
Use TomTom or something similar....

Tomtom only warns you about the permanent cameras, it does not detect radar, laser or "instant on" radar signals!!!
Yes i am talking about the live instant radar devices. the guy standing on the side of the road with the radar cam.
NOT the permenent camara's.
I need the phone to beep and warn me when a radar device is in close proximity.
Oh God... you can't be serious...
Re the nokia phone, check here:
http://www.warp2search.net/contentt...ia_mobile_phone_as_a_police_radar_detect.html
It's been proven and proven again - it doesn't work... The only part of your phone I could see somebody trying to say would work is the IR receiver, but IR and RADAR are two ENTIRELY different things. And even if your phone could detect RADAR or Laser (which, again, none can) - you'd have to place the phone somewhere on your windshield to make it useful - and given the Hermes configuration, you'd have to have your phone horizontal... Even if it did work, I'd not want the thing sitting all goofy in my windshield.
With all due respect this is one of the goofier requests I've ever seen on here.
In other words - buy a radar detector... A half-way decent one can be had for under $60

Few years ago tips how to show Netmonitor option in Nokias was sold on ebay as Rada detection thingy So this quastion is not that bad
Get a Valentine1, its way easier and actually works really well.
I had no idea, that this joke from early GSM will resurface again in PDAs. The only other popular GSM lamer-tester I know about was Polish invention of "marupy zwrotne" ~ "return/confirmation marupas" (yes, it makes no sense in Polish neither, but sounds... dumb and probable at the same time).
Do you know of any other gossip/fake GSM/PDA services that were used to joke of not-so-bright users?
Sorry, i think, that if you want to use the Hermes as radar detector, you can use it as microwave oven. The WiFi module works on 2,4 GHz like the oven too.
Exactly - the cheapest microwave oven in the world:

AHHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Check this out: People are making organizations to protect their communities/cities/sites from cell phone towers because microwaves are so dangerous. Not only those people organize themselves using cell phones... but also complain about GSM network problems in their areas. THIS IS REALLY ridiculous...

Just the whole horror story about cell phone towers in residential places has no scientific basis at all. The same people scaremongering about this stuff are probably responsible for this one:
In scotland a plan to build a wind farm, 10 or so wind turbines, was refused due to concerns by the local community about the risk of radiation!?!?!?! WTF!!!!!
Besides the mobile phone<->tumor thing has been disproven many times by (independant) scientific study, the public always go along with these STUPID rumours.
Of course it's stupid as hell. Why those people still use TV sets (after all CRT and plasmas are quite effective x-rays lamps), electric engine-based household devices (this is really powerful electromagnetic source) and microwave ovens (that in fact are causing problems with WLAN and some cell phone devices). And what about those electric cables in the walls? Slightly exaggerating those are giant antennas emitting 50/60Hz waves at very high power.
So if you (the reader, not mrvanx of course) are anti-cell phone tower activist, start with canceling you contract with company that delivers power to your house. Then we can continue talking.

Remember the email that said you could unlock any car that used a remote keyless system?
http://www.snopes.com/autos/techno/keyless.asp
the original point
regarding the RADAR guns that law enforcments use...
(i know about this i have 11 points on my license (3 have already come off once) and done the speed aware ness corse)
i do beleive they use a few different devices and on different frequancies, the devices you have in your car dont always detect the RADAR and they also change progressivly so you would need to keep buying the latests detectors... not to mention if you are speeding and your detector (even your phone is you got it to work (not likely)) picks up a signal and warns you... its already hit you the gun already knows how fast your traveling and its all too late!!
there are devices that emit a scramble frequancy and the copper will just get ERR on the gun but again they change the frequancy or method (lasers or RADAR) and your still boned and in UK if your caught with one of them you can then be prosicuted for preventing the corse of justice...
all in all its not worth it... the Tom Toms and the likes have notifacations for fixed cameras and 'black spots' were there is offten coppers park (this doesnt mean they wont change spots and they might never be there as you drive past but thought it was worth a mention)
If you want to find radars open your nostrils... They usualy smell like onions...
Cheers and good luck.

Seems like the Dash is going to get fitted for 3G speed. How will they do that? Firmware update OTA? How will it affect Dash's with cooked ROMs?
http://www.intomobile.com/2009/05/04/t-mobile-dash-getting-much-needed-boost-to-3g.html
what will they think of next?
Wow! A firmware upgrade that will modify the radio electronics so that all of our Dash's will do 3G speeds! HTC must have embedded nanobots in our phones when they built them. Pretty cool!
In other news, send 99.95 to my PayPal website and I'll send an OTA upgrade to your male parts to enlarge them.

No one will know @ the mo it's just speculation anyway, but since it says kit then maybe? But i very much doubt that they are going to push out a new load of Dash's since the new HTC models are going to faze out olders a.p.u.
That doesn't make any sense after all this time, that they would want to make the dash even better, when they are planning to have all these new phones coming out. In my opinion that would make buyers buy a cheap $50 dollar Dash with 3g instead of a $300 to $400 dollar Snap or Rhodium, specially in this economy where everyone is trying to save money.
I think you guys are all misinterpreting the screen shot. I think T-Mobile was at one time referring to the Snap as the "Dash 3G"...that's all. No one's going to upgrade the Excalibur to 3G.

exactly why make a phone "better" when u can make a whole new one
Well why would T-Mo refer to it as the Dash in the screen shot and not "Snap"? Are they renaming "The Snap" to "Dash 3G" for T-Mo? I noticed further down they said "T-Mobile Dash Black" for the black ver of the orig phone, but isnt that phone 3G too? IDK, just thought the article was interesting and was sharing!

No!
HTC Snap was the final release name. Before that it was called HTC Maple , Dash 3G , Excalibur 3G. And the Tmo Black Dash is not a 3g device.

Dude (or dudette) Its the HTC S522, Snap, Maple, MAPL100, 3G Dash or any one of the many other names it has been called during the development process. It is NOT our dear little T-Mobile Dash, it is a wholly new device that will most probably be released under T-Mobile as either the Dash II 3G or the Snap.
The Black Dash is nothing more then a face lift it has nothing new inside its little shell.
Since we have been talking about this new device for about 4 months now, I have to ask.. where have you been?
it's a kit!!
ok so i hear y'all scepticism, but umm while i kinna agree with it, why is it that every other device in the screenshot is referred to by their names only yet the one with the dash say "dash 3g kit" i dunno but that kinda sounds like it "could" sound like an upgrade. . .

First, nice int3rwebz typz0rz wit miszpellzings.
Second, how would they upgrade a phone that does not have a 3g radio receiver to magically pick it up?
The Snap is HTC's new edition of the Excalibur (or rendition I suppose), so TMO could be calling it the Dash 3g, like they rebranded the Excalibur to the Dash.
Unless they plan on selling a external 3g antenna that plugs into the usb port, I doubt it, even though I doubt the whole idea of having an edge phone evolve to receive 3g.
On a funny-ish note:
Your Dash is trying to learn 3g, but it can only learn 4 moves. Should your dash forget a move to learn 3g? Dash forgot Windows Mobile and learned 3g
Win?

Ok, now I just think you are playing dumb.
1. All packaged devices from T-Mobile are called 'kits', its not that hard to figure out.
2. Did you not notice that the HTC G1 is also called a 'kit' as well as the Black Dash??
3. You cant upgrade our current HTC Dash's to 3G.. it is a hardware thing NOT a software thing. How many times do you need to be told this?
ok let clear things up, if you all read my comment properly you would have realized that i am also very skeptical about the "software update". i was simply making the observation that the way the system is referred to as a "kit" is different from how the other "htc kits" are referred to, jus an observation!!! jeese!!
In all seriousness, is there a walkie-talkie app. Not a Voip push to talk. I mean 1 that really uses the same frequencies as the real thing.
I have no idea if its even possible but it sure would be nice.
I dont see why its not possible. With a Rooted, fully supported phone thats open. G2, G1, Nexus, ect...
I mean as it is we can turn our Bluetooth in2 a true FM Radio. We can take data from our antenna and push it out via wifi, bluetooth and even usb. So I mean it just would be nice to have.
Plenty practical uses like say if your job uses it. Construction, retail, recreational all use walkie-talkies.
Another nice thing would be our own 2way radios (Androids). Although im not sure how practical that would because distance. Wifi being the logical way to go for most distance.
No... and nothing will come even close EXCEPT VOIP. iDEN came out with an Android phone not too long ago but it is really basic. The closest to it would be the TiKL app... bluetooth/wifi would be not practical at all with such a short range.
Look at this video:

You can clearly see that, as the guy keeps the hand off the back of the phone, the wifi signal boosts up from zero to 3 bars.
In all the review as well, you can notice that as the reviewer grips the device, the wifi signal goes bad.
Damn it, again, as the Galaxy S2, wifi grip issue.
Thank you Samsung, Aloha Nexus.
There are very few phones that don't do this. To antennas used to be at the top of the device away from your hand, but ever since someone decided phones give you cancer they moved the antennas to the bottom.
I'd rather have cancer and actually get reception.
If we stopped this form over function nonsense the manufacturers could put proper antennas on phones like they used to have. Then this sort of thing wouldn't be a problem.
You don't use wifi when you brings your phone near your head c'mon...

A simple case should solve this problem. Not an excuse, nor an apology, by any means but since Samsung can't learn from it's mistakes it'll have to do.

With my GS2 I've tried different cases (Casemate, silicon ones etc.) but this solved very very little the wifi issue.
It's sad because at work I need wifi as hell, and I was the only one among my colleagues (TBH another one with a HTC Sensation has similar problem using it landscape mode) that has no wifi signal.

Yes, actually. Phones have antennas they use for WiFi, 3G, 2G, etc.. Covering antennas lowers their ability to transmit and receive. So nearly all phones will have this issue. Crazy idea... Where do you propose they put the antennas so that they transmit properly? do you want pull-out or rubber antennas again?

Hi. Is there anyway, or is there any Devs who could take the Orange UK Signal Boost app, port it to our Super GNex and make it work. Must be some super clever dev who can make it work....
I don't regret changing from an S2 to a Nexus in the slightest, but seeing as I live in the countryside, I do miss the Signal Boost app, was very useful as often find wi-fi where there was no phone signal.

I know what a placebo is. Point is Orange Signal Boost uses wi-fi for signal, so you can use it where you have wi-fi and no normal phone signal.
