[Q] Help for an old man with new HTC s620 - HTC Excalibur

I just totally destroyed my HTC 8525 and just bought a new HTC s620. I'm having some problems that I can't solve. Yes, I have looked and looked through the previous posts and I cannot find the answers that I need or understand. First, my new phone will not recognize my old 8gb microsd card which I have lots of pictures, music and ringtones on. Second, since I use this phone as my auxiliary brain, I cannot find anywhere for notes to be written. Any help would be highly appreciated!!!

Probably you still are with your stock rom. You should look to upgrade to a custom rom, they support more than 8 GB. Search the sticky in how to flash and perfom an upgrade.
On that note, thread closed.

Restoring Old OS - XDA 2

Hiya everyone.
I had a search for this, and was unable to find the solution, so I apologise if this has been asked before.
Is it possible to revert my XDA 2's OS back to its original state after its been upgraded to WM 2005?
I only ask because I wish to sell my XDA 2, and there are certain aspects of the new OS that don't run properly (The 2 side buttons - camera and voice recorder no longer work, and I am unable to connect to the internet as the o2 settings were wiped, and they are unable to provide me with the manual details).
If this is possible, then great... if not, then I'll have to make do really (unless someone can offer assistance on the problems above?).
Oh just for reference, I used the guide on this forum to upgrade to WM 2005, so you can see the exact process I went through.
Thanks to anyone who is able to help.
Failing any help, can anyone post a rom of the OS in its original state for the o2 XDA2?? (with o2 Active, despite how many ppl hate it! lol)
I'd just like to get it back to its fully-functioning self again.

Samsung i760 forum

How about a separate forum for the i760. I'm having some issues with my device that others don't have on their devices. A central location would be nice to have.
Ditto. I just bought one, and should have it by the end of the week.
There don;t seem to be very many advanced users out there...
pdaphonehome.com has a big following for the i760.
I agree, it would be a nice spot to have a i760 forum. While I use both pdaphonehome.com and xda-developers.com, they really have two different tones. pdaphonehome.com has really gotten newbie oriented, while I still feel that xda-developers is really about tweak/changing/programming for a more advanced user. Just a thought!
and......
Where is this at, i still don't see a forum for the Samsung i760.
I will add my vote in this as well.
6gb
did anyone find the hack that allow the 6gb micro sdhc card to work fully with it? i have combed the the forums n find nothing concrete...
I think the most people got working was a 4GB
just got the 6g card...
i just got my card in the mail and put the hack i found on the phone. i am only seeing 1276.5 MB still looking for answers...
Another vote for a specific i760 forum!
I just got the i760 before christmas. Haven't done much so far. A lot of installing and uninstalling trying to figure out what works and what doesn't/doesn't yet.
So far:
wisbar advanced 3(the only thing I haven't really figured out how to customize yet)
RlToday
iPhone theme
PocketCM
slide 2 unlock 2
google maps
screen capture
I basically have been looking over the forums trying to find cool programs and install them and try it out. If it bugs out I uninstall and start over.
I hope to figure out wisbar and get a memory card soon...I desperately need more space for mp3s, excel files, and some simple word documents. I saw something about a hack to allow microsdhc cards to work. I have seen 8gb cards. Not sure if they would work for this device. But like with the rest I will try it and see once I buy one.

samsung i760 device ID
Hi there. I was wondering whether anybody knows yet how to find the device ID number on the samsung i760. On my previous xv6700, this was a 6 digit combo of letters and numbers, and I found it through the settings/system menu. For the i760, the code to view the main device info is #4357*, and an "ESN" or 7 digit serial number is listed and I'm wondering if that is in fact the device ID. Thanks.
have some programs

Hi, thinking in buying one (moving from Jasjar then TyTn I because of their bad mic sound with almost any BT headset). but need to know if the i760 will do well with agenda Fusion , finger friendly dial up ,vito audio notes. So if you have time and be kind enough to try and tell, will be great.
One more thing , do u have any complain about the other party hearing your voice intermittent from your BT ? Thanks
does anyone even read these comments? There are tons of phones on this forum, I don't see why an i760 section can't be created.
Samsung I760
Can anyone use Locate Me in Google maps?
Is java disabled at default for Verizon Samsung I-760?
One more vote
I'll add my vote for a Samsung SCH-i760 forum. I know its not an HTC, but come on, show some love
I vote for a Samsung i760 specific forum. A centralized location could bring a lot more new users to this site as there arent many samsung i760 forums yet.
Same here, I love XDA but a i760 thread would rock.
Guys
When HTC buys Samsung then I am sure we will think about it, in the mean time you will need to go to other sites.
What about a forum called other WM PDA forum.

upgrade to WM6.1&touchflo, how???

Dear xda-developers forum,
I just bought an HTC artemis, very nice phone, and was searching for apps for it, most of links in the search engines returned to here ( xda-developers ), so I thought..this must be the best website on the net specialized in PPC, so I registered..and this is my first post
To be honest i always were a symbian fan, but i wanted to break the rule this time, I'm new in windows mobile world..please help me!
I just have one question: Can anyone tell me how to install the latest version of WM6 (I currently have some WM5 version), and then show me how to turn it into a nice touchflo device (what's this cooking all about)???
Thank youuuuuuu!
Have a bit more of a read round the forums and then carefully follow the instructions for installing a new ROM.
I've got 6.1 with touch working though I have to say that the touch stuff is very limited.
Once you've worked through it, it is easy enough as long as you follow each step carefully.

can someone please give me a link to a guide for begginers in PPCs, I read some guides in the wiki section, but there are alot of weird terms that i just couldn't get into my head ... pleaseeeeeee hellpppppppppp

Did you buy a new phone or a used one? Just wondering since new phones come with WM6 & not WM5, I got a new one 4 months back.
And like knightnet said, have a look around thr forums, check out the wiki & you will see guides on installing a custom ROM. You can try it out but personally I'm not a fan of TouchFlo on the Artemis - it ain't got the processor or memory for that, TouchFlo is heavy. You can also find the new TouchFlo versions around in the forum, the kinds which come with Diamond & later phones with those smooth sliding. That TouchFlo is pretty slick & I like it a lot & had it on my Artemis for a week but then removed it as the phone has become too slow to bear it.

yes, my artemis is brand new, didn't really need it but it was on sale
it has OS 5.1.342, build 15096.3.0.0 (whatever that means!!)
im on this forum for the last 6 hours learning how to upgrade the phone, thinks a little clearer now, but i have new questions (that makes me a noob, saw this term used here when a pro wants to pick on a beginner, i really dont know what that exactly means )...
so i want to know if i can backup the original rom before doing an upgrade, or is there a place to download them??
I have :
ROM version 1.12.415.1 WWE
Radio version 2.67.90 (which is old compared to the ones available here)
thaaaaaaaaaaanks!

There are some standard ROMs available I think, I remember seeing some when I was looking to change mine (it's been a while I'm afraid so I'm a bit hazy). But you can and should back-up your own.
It isn't easy being a "noob" in phone upgrading - I remember what it was like & I wasn't being nasty to you (honest!) but the instructions on the wiki are clear after you have followed them carefully. If you've backed up your existing ROM and taken out any additional memory cards (oh, and charged up the phone before starting - just in case), there is really no danger of "bricking" your phone.
Don't forget to back up any information on the phone as well. I use the excellent PIM Backup for that as I can shedule it to do a daily backup of all of the PIM (Calendar, contacts, tasks, notes) data and any other data I want (I back up the internal memory "My Documents" folder) to the memory card in the phone and then regularly copy that to my PC (and from their back up to a server on a different continent - though I am a bit paranoid about my data!).
So go for it
guys am i am trying to put a new ROM in my artemis....!!!

I expect that there is since all FLASH memory has a limit.
However, you won't be hitting it any time soon even if you were to FLASH a couple of times a day!

Help with orbit 1 please

I'm not sure which thread to post this query in, but have tried to delete from other threads and can't find out how, sorry.
Anyway on to my query.
Hi folks, i have just bought an 02 XDA orbit 1, and i really like the device although one of my gripes is that the keyboard is too small for texting.
I am running windows Mobile 6.1 professional, ROM version 'Oops black WWE' and I have a 1gb micro sd installed.
can you please let me know if the keyboard 'EZIMPUT 2.1 will work ok on my device in English? and could someone please point me to the link for the best version to use with my device specs?
Sorry also, I am really new to Windows mobile, is it just a matter of putting the cab onto the phone and installing it from there?
Also, sorry again, but is there any way to get the screen to dim completely after the time out. mine still shows and although dim, may be enough to be using the battery.
Thank you very much
Steve

[Q] FRX06 build and Rhodium100_uk

Hi
Sorry for posting here but as I have never posted I am not allowed to post in the "build" section yet.
I have this latest build running on my TP2 (Rhodium100_uk) and followed the instructions in the FAQ's etc and read literally hundreds of posts. This build is running like a charm on the phone right up until the point of inserting the sim card.
As soon as the sim is in and I start the haret.exe, it's boots into android just fine but then the phone just goes into a deep sleep and cannot be woken unless I do a soft reset.
Just wondered if anyone had a similar issue?
As far as I know I've done everything by the book, formatted sd card with HP tool, picked the startup.txt file, tslocation file.
The only other way I can get it running is with a kernel from November 2010, the 204019 package but then the camera doesnt work and the battery life is flaky.
Again apologies if this is in the wrong section and I hope you busy peeps have time to reply.
Thanks in advance
Sorted, after much rereading and searching, I appear to have fixed this, please delete post if needs be thanks
How do you fixed it ? Ym tying many things on it Pro2 T7373 but many problems are there. Haved tested 2 android versions FRX06_Full_Bundle_25.3.2011 and GBX0A_Full_Bundle_11.3.2011 but in the first no provider contact possible and the other no audio at all. Its a very dificult to find the good info for it here and on Wikki about it and the help from other members is not so good (sorry people but reading many many posts here that get now answers on askings and searching here is even dificult because the search engine dont find for example the hit winmo 6.1 or 6.1 for the T7373. Ym tired of testing Winmo becausse y cant get a good voice command prog running that works wiht the headset from the pfoon, and that is what y want to use because ym a busdriver ho need its to use without touching the phoon only touching the headset like y use to do on my old Touch Cruise.
Hope that you can give me a hint where you find the sulution for Android fixes ?
