XDA is the best !!! - About xda-developers.com

Hi guys,
I have been on this site for a while now. And just wanted to say that everyone here is awesome. I have a 8525 now and because of this site it is a better phone. Can't hardly wait for Schap's new one or for someone to rip the new 6.1.
Anyway...I bought a CECT P168+ a few weeks ago (I know stupid) I wanted something else to play around with. I really do like it. The bigger screen is awesome. But I do wish it ran on 850 Mhz so I would get better reception. So then I bought an A88 Quadband, don't fall for that one, it says 850 Mhz but it does not work. I wish some of you guys would get into hacking these too, I would really like to have some extras opened up on these phones. I am on one site for the P168 but they just don't get things out there like this site.
Again...to all of you...You make this site top notch.
Thanks,
Scott aka loki49

128mb Upgrade in China

Hi there
I'm looking to get the 128mb upgrade done in China.
I contacted the guy on suggested on the wiki and he hardly knew what I was talking about.
He says that he has a friend that can do it.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else had had any other experiences of getting it done here....I'm in Xi'an but heading over to beijing for a few days next month.
And in México?
Same here for México
Looking for a place to upgrade!!
p.d. Xi-an a great citiy!!

Hi there, maybe you can check the forum of pdafans which is very pop in China. AFAIK, many guys got their 128M ROM upgraded from below thread:
http://bbs.pdafans.com/viewthread.php?tid=458711
For myself, I am still using 64M ROM Hardware, and the WM6.1 ROM v8.5 from Tomal. I feel it's stable and fast enough for me.
Any further queries just feel free to let me know.
Pls refer the following link http://www.hidopod.com/bbs/thread-21514-1-1.html (Chinese ). u better contact the guy thru your Chinese friends. i don't think he can understand English..the guy who is the expert to modify 128 Ram. most Chinese Universal Fans are modified by him, stable and reliable, just 200RMB charge.
You can check out taobao (Alibaba's popular online auction site in China). A few weeks ago I found one in Shen Zhen Hua Chiang North district (China's biggest market of electronics trading) and got my Uni upgraded to 128MB. How much? Just 200 yuen (around USD 25)! And he did the upgrade on the spot while I was waiting there. The whole process took only about 30 minutes. AFAIK there are still MANY shops like that around.
thanks for the responses
I have exhausted every avenue here in Xi'an and couldn't find anything except blank expressions. Doing it on taobao do I have to send it to them or something, sounds a bit dangerous.
I'm off to beijing next month, maybe i can get it there somewhere.
谢谢朋友们

new to the Rhodium community

hey everyone, im just stopping by since im starting to pull towards the TP2 after watching several review videos on it, but anyways im here to ask a couple questions about the touch pro 2.
since the TP2 doesnt have an LED flash, how important is the LED flash to you guys??
also how good of the quality of build does this device have? does it feel really solid and how also the tilt feature, how delicate is that?
the 1500mah battery, how great is the life on that?
and finally(for former TouchPro/Fuze users) is this worth upgrading?
would like to look foward from hearing from all you guys over here.
thnx
oh cmon guys, im looking forward to buying this device but i need some info first
I just switched from a Fuze. The Tilt2 is MUCH better. Stock AT&T ROM is much snappier than the stock Fuze ROM. Signal is SIGNIFICANTLY better. Screen is amazing. And lastly the speakerphone on the Fuze was pretty crappy, but this one is just fantastic.
In my opinion it is well worth the upgrade. You won't be sorry
If you search the forums there are alot of useful threads comparing the 2 devices.
Do you need the keyboard? Because HD2 will have a 1GHz processor...
Also, the RAM is quite few. Only 188MB available, and TF3D eats more than 54% of it...
well im kind of teetering between slimness or the use of a good keyboard, the 1GHZ seems like a promising procesor speed for the leo, the only thing is i hope FCC approves it, but for the mean time the tilt 2 seems like a good device to have for a little awhile, like i mentioned in the first post the lack of LED Flash is holding me back from buying the tilt 2, u guys got any other thoughts on the device?
Hi & Welcome,
For these generic questions, you'd find more help in the "Got Mine" sticky thread. It also helps keep the forum organised .
Thread Closed.
Thanks
Dave

About to buy a Touch Pro 2

Hey guys, im coming from android to the winmo world, because im kind of getting tired of it.
i love having keyboards, and a nice solid feeling phone, therefore i went for the Rhodium.
I have 1 question though. I have had some abusive ex-girlfriends who always try to call and text me, and of course it upsets my current girlfriend and myself. Android has an app called Super Private Conversation(SPC), which allows you to blacklist certain numbers, and it automatically sends calls from that number to your voicemail, and it marks you sms messages as a private conversation, therefor you never get a notification.
anyways, my question is, if i get the Touch Pro 2, is there a way to block calls and sms from certain numbers?
thanks!any help is appreciated!
*edit: Also, im sorry if i have posted this in the wrong section, im not used to this part of the forum, so please move it accordingly. thanks!
Blackballer
interesting. i would buy android now. tp2 is ok i suppose, just way too slow. the timor rom is faster than the original tmobile rom. still, tp2 need 50% faster cpu.
what you did not like in the android?
sorry, i have no answer to your question.
check this also
http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/board/1629/block-unsolicited-incoming-calls-with-call-block-1-01.html
there are many apps for WM, .. btw, have you considered Samsung OmniaPro B7610? ... it has QWERTY keyboard 800MHz Processor, AMOLED Display, and ofcourse Windows Mobile 6.5.
read some reviews and compare Touch Pro2 with OmniaPro B7610 before you make your final decision
cheers
Thanks for the replies guys!
There is not one thing i dislike about android, honestly. But im on tmobile for another year and a half, and im not a fan of their mobile selection. I currently have the Moto Cliq, but it doesnt have enough development surrounding it, and its very slow and laggy. The G1 is outdated. And the new nexus one doesn't have a keyboard.
So really, im just looking for the nicer phone with the most customization, and i feel as if i will get that with the touch pro 2
Try Ringo. Ringo can assign different ring tones including silence for both calls and SMS. I am happy with it.

just wait, with the cliq being rooted now, there are devs that are working fast to get custom ROMs out. I know there are ppl like justanotherdev working and manup456 and CC are working also. modmymoto.com is a good place to check out cliq developments if you havent been there yet, check it out. it may save your cliq.

ya i know, im on modmymoto everyday. there hasnt been anything significant in a couple of weeks. theres a sense hero, but the dev is having problems with the radio. then there are 2 generic ROM's with a couple of changes, but nothing significant.

mayday

guys...i'm in a dilemma and thought you could help me...
maybe this isn't the right section to do so but...didn't have the idea where else to post this
should i swap my hero for a touch pro 2
i love senseUI and android as it is beautiful,simple and so on,but lacks some software (which is not too important but...still counts)
i checked prices and tp2 is still more expensive (maybe because of the OS)
i have experience with abut 15 htc wm devices but never got hands on tp2...
so based on hardware vs hardware and your experience...what do you suggest
Hi farkub,
If I´m not mistaken you had an Universal right?
Go for Rhodium with no doubt!
Is the best hardware keyboard device to this date and 2010 models won´t be better.
Hero is ok but Android is too young and immature for now, perhaps in the future...
Just my opinion
Cheers and hope to see you on this section soon
nah i had artemis,himalaya,magician,hd,hero,diamond,hermes,herald,kaiser, and several more..but you probably ran into me in general and hermes section
i saw your poll...and thank you for it...
as for the immaturity i thought so too
but half of it went away when i got hands on hero...and the other half still stays (birth dates tell for themselves)...maybe 2.1 firmware is better but too bad i'll not have it when the htc's 2.1 upgrade comes out hehe
thanks for the opinion orb,much appreciated
as i thought i will go for tp2...at least for fun because it's a thrill to change and trade phones and to discover every of them
as we all know...there will never be a perfect one (the technology goes on and it's not quite good for the market to give the perfect one to the crowds)
hardware to hardware...
TP2 wins .. no brainer!!!!!
In all specs, TP2 is better than Hero!
Software???
I had the HTC Diamond
Windows Mobile sucks!!! It just does not have that many good software out there.. and when you find them.. Prices are higher.
I was waiting for the Diamond 2 to come out.. but got tired of waiting so I tried the Hero...
Wow... I dont see me going back to WM!
Hope that helped!

Wow!
You had a lot of devices, nice!
It´s great to know we will be seeing here!, it´s always nice to see familiar members
More than agree with the last part of your post!
Cheers,
so i swapped them today...let's see how long will this relationship last hehe
as for never coming back to WM....i wish i didn't but my current needs are a bit more pointed towards wm because of some specific software which can help me in my studies...i'm studying mechanical engineering and all that great software really helps out sometimes
i really liked android...and i still do,but this was a clean swap 1 for 1,and this still is a phone with better value...and i'm thinking about selling the tp2 already...it's brand new,no scratch on it....with all goodies...so if anyone wants we can talk...but till then i'm gonna enjoy it while i can
and believe it or not...i'm a windoze hater
but software forces me to use it...both in pc and ppc worlds
(but still i use ubuntu most of the time on my pc hehehe)
thank you dan and orb
TP2 owns every other phone I've had, including the sucky iPh*** 3gs..
Hardware vs hardware, it's the smoothest WM phone I've had, using Valkyrie's rom of course.
Update radio, and mess with the settings a little, and you go yourself a bestfriend.
Imo, I think android's are crappp.
oh yeah which rom do you people suggest
valkyrie seems to be a decent one....probably energy roms are good to but that tone of bluer really irritates me
and for the radio...i put blackstone radio rom to a diamond and the battery life doubled...so is the 1.17.**.** blackstone radio also good for this one or you suggest other maybe
and for messing with stuff...that's what keeps me with WM
i'm a tweak freak
Hi
If you are thinking on sell your TP2 let me know (PM)
As for ROM try Energy phoenix (Sense 2.1) this version:
EnergyROM_28008_RHODIUM_04.Dec.2009_Standard
If you can´t find it let me know and I´ll send it to you
Cheers,
is everything blue? ...hope not...i will pm you...but i have to find a way to get the payment...since accepting payments via paypal doesn't work here in bosnia (or that's at least what one guy told me)....any ideas?

Do you have a paypal account already?
If so PM me and send me your email account and I can try making a "test deposit" if 1USD to see what happens
I think it should work

i definitely agree with this. I love android but still to young for me. and the TP2 is an awesome phone, best htc i've ever owned and i always wow people when i pull it out. wouldn't have it any other way!
People know the hero, most peeps haven't seen the TP2 and the keyboard and screen blow them away. i've converted 2 crackphone users over to TP2!! {applause}

Great for that!!!

Anyone needs a LinkIt ONE?

I won a LinkIt ONE at the last xda:devcon and have been travelling since, so had no time to play around with it. If anyone could make good use of it, let me know in this thread and I'll consider sending it over to you.
Let me know where you live and what you plan to do with it and I'll get in touch.
Interested!
I'm interested! I'm Dutch, so I hope that won't cause too much issues.
I'm 14, and I pretty much like to experiment with things. I have all of the tools at hand, so I would appreciate it if you would send one to me.
I heard it can be programmed with the Arduino toolkit?
Edit: Hrmm... didn't notice the date of upload. Sorry about the bump! (if you are still running this, contact me.)
Edit #2: I like to create a wearable with it. I have been looking for suitable boards, and this seems to look ok.
I would love this! I was planning on buying one to use as my platform for a new type of 3D scanner I've made which I hope to distribute on kickstarter.
At the moment I can't afford it because I've spent my entire budget on other wifi boards.
I'm 26 years old and I've been programming and hacking since primary school. I made a iPhone lockscreen simulator that was posted on here before the 1st iPhone came out (based on the CES keynotes).
I plan to share the schematics and code on here when the kickstarter has been launched.
Sorry, I hadn't looked at the thread in a while.
A good friend of mine asked me if he could have a look at it and play around with it for some time. I'll let you know if the board gets available again and post it to you in that case.
Thanks a lot for your interest!
