Hello guys, I've seen it somewhere but after 2 hours of searching I give up...
Is it possible to talk on Skype like a normal phone call (not on a speakerphone)?
Another thing - what settings do you use to successfully run Skype? Mine almost works ... I just have to test it a little bit more, probably one more hard reset and I'll be home...
Greetz,

The only way is to use the headphones.
The phone's processor is too weak. You can overclock it with "OmapClock", which will improve the listening's quality.
:wink:
I've got a problem with my new MDA Pro and my legal copy of TomTom5.
It looks like TomTom is getting slower and slower when I use it, almost like there's a memory leak or buffers that are overflowing.
When I start TomTom and directly close it, there's no problem.
But when I start and navigate for about half an hour, the maps aren't draw smoothly anymore. Just like a cartoonmovie where some images are missing, the picture is "jumping" (hope you know what I mean).
When navigating for about one hour TomTom takes about 2 minutes to close and the program memory has about 10 Mb less than before I started TomTom. This memory is (as far as I know) only released with a soft-reset.
When navigating for more than 90 minutes TomTom doesn't close anymore and there's no reaction from my MDA. A soft-reset was the only solution.
I have this problem not only when navigating, also when I use the "advanced planning" option this problem occurs.
All POI's are disabled.
When TomTom slows down, it's not only the program. All other functions of the PDA slow down. For instance, when I receive a text message the sound takes about 30 seconds to complete the notification sound... :?
My MDA Pro is upgraded with the latest T-Mobile Netherlands ROM.
Don't know if the problem also occurs with the origininal ROM because I flashed it right after I bought it.
TomTom is version 5.21.
Any thoughts?
Using the same windows rom (vodafone ext) I have the similar issue, I can install it and get as far as choosing a voice, when it gets so slow it stops, after which it closes. Oh dear! No more tomtom. Big problem and no one knows how to fix it, amazed you got it to go as far as actually loading up at all.

Any change you could let me in on the secret too?
ok heres the deal. Lately the memory on my wing has been draining DRASTICALLY!! I always had the memory issue but now as soon as the phone starts up i woudl have like 16mb free ( changed the pagepool to 6mb.) then it would go down to 3.5 in like 10 seconds. Anyone know why it would be doing this. Is there a solution. I am still using the factory tmobile rom.
Right after soft-reset, the memory should get down for a while and then come back to normal. I can see Active Sync running at that time and I used to close it.. Does the same happen there?
yah activesync is running also but even after i close it and the phone sits for the whole day it will still be at 3.4/5 when activesync is running it drops to 2.8
Just surveying how well the GPS on the Touch works for most people. It seem as though many people still have problems, even after the carrier updates and all the hacking done here. I personally could never get the GPS working consistently without using Alltel Navigator, which cost $10 a month.
My current theory is that the phone's radio injects noise into the GPS receiver, either because it shares an antenna with the phone, or for the same reason why a powerful radio signal (like driving past a transmitter tower) can overwhelm the front end of receivers that aren't even near the transmitter's frequency.
Evidence: If I launch Google Maps when I'm offline, and I can select "Use GPS" and avoid having Google Maps try to go online before it acquires at least 3 GPS satellites, it seems to lock on within a minute or so about 90% of the time.
If anything causes the phone to go online before I've acquired GPS, it almost never seems to succeed.
If I take/make a voice call, or engage in sustained data transfer, it almost always seems to lose the GPS signal.
If I pan/scroll the map and cause Google Maps to need a BIG chunk of data, it will probably lose the GPS signal.
I'd be interested to hear whether anyone else has noticed a similar inverse correlation between RF activity and GPS acquisition.
Hmmm, I haven't noticed any correlation between data and location, it's an interesting theory though. It takes me anywhere from a minute to 15 seconds to get a lock, and when occasionally satellite signal drops out, Google maps finds it again within 10 seconds or less. I'm a verizon user, btw, and I use GMaps, Live, and TomTOm7+GpsViewer.
Mine works great -
Mine works great - I have Garmin XT for turn-by-turn and it seems to find satellites pretty fast - The other day I decided to try a little experiment and I set up both my Sony GPS and my Touch and pressed "go" at the same time and the Touch GPS was just a fraction of a second behind the Sony (both from a cold start), which I think is pretty good - I have no problem using Windows Live, but for some reason the most recent Google Maps doesn't work as well, it can take forever (seemingly) to lock.
baud rate
after doing a little more
research, i found a post
suggesting to use the
57600 baud rate in google
maps. it worked and i got
a lock within about a minute
sorry bought the english
im typing on my phone here
at work.
my 6800 locks consistanly with in 15 seconds. Just bought the wife a 6900 and its been taking about 1-2 minutes. Not sure why that is.
i had a lot of trouple with my gps being inconsistent and what not. this post on ppc geeks fixed the problem now i connect 6-11 satsellites in 30 seconds or less. duno if it'll help u but u can try it:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36377&highlight=shadow-tech+agps
not taking any credit for that guide it was pmed to me im pretty sure all acknowledgements are made within the post itself.
Use this to get your GPS working well...
My GPS works excellently with Google maps, as well as with iGO8. I can lock into about 8 sats in 15 seconds or so using the AstroGPSLauncher that AstronusX created and posted at this thread.
Took me just a couple of minutes to create the shortcut and put it in my program list.
I might lose satellites in iGO8 if I get a phone call and take it, but it will get back the sats after a minute or two once the phone call has completed.
Hope this helps.

Do you have M2D plugin?
I have NFSFAN Rom and Igo8 is really pain. If you switch to Today or just phone - there is no way to get IGo back. Have to Reset.
Yes, I've been running iGo8 on NSFFAN's 1.08 ROM. I agree that it dogs down damn bad when I get a call while running iGo, but I can get it back up without having to reset if there isn't anything else running. It does take quite awhile to get sat locks back though after switching over to phone. It might be quicker to close out of iGo and restart.
Thanks for all the helpful post guys, that 57600 baud rate didn`t last to long. It was just as inconsistant as anything else I tried. I`ve heard about the Shadow Tech`s Fix for a while now but never tried it till last night. I am having some trouble with the dialing ##3424 step. I`ve tried the different 3424 numbers, and using task manager to open Dmrouter.exe under /DIAG parameters. Nothing happens on my phone, and I don`t see HTC Diag in Device Manager on XP. I have another post on the Shadow Tech Fix thread, but if anybody here knows what I`m doing wrong I`d appreciate a little info.
BTW I`m using NFSfans alltel 1.02 rom

If you go into windows and execute Dmrouter.exe it should, it may not change anything on your screen. Easy way to tell is if you have an activesync connection, execute it, and if activesync disconnects then your in it. Another way is to check task manager, and see if it is running.
There was a problem with the driver for the Vogue in WModem. I found a thread with the fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462712
Valahalla? I know it has to do with GPS just wondering what it is
Phone shows up as Palm treo modem
I got dmrouter.exe working, but in vista it shows up as palm treo modem after drivers are found and installed. I`ll try again in XP and see if it happens again.
Wow I finally got this to work (Shadow Techs Fix)
It took about a day and a half, but I finally got it!
1.) I flashed back to Official Alltel 6.1 Rom and skipped customizations.
2.) I followed the steps in this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36377&highlight=shadow-tech+agps
3.) Reflashed back NFSFAN`s 1.02 Rom. I then tested it out and 10 seconds later I had 8 satellites locked on me.
Thanks to everybody who helped me out here with your posts. I started this thread as just a kinda survey to find out if I was not alone in having so much difficulty making my phone work as it should, and ended up a very happy Touch owner.
on alltel
it almost never works. shadow-tech's fix helps immensely
im in dominican republic
and i never manage to get a gps signal.
=/ is it me or the phone?
or the fact that this island is worst then the one in LOST
I checked the accuracy of the GPS on my phone about a year ago- Sometimes I work with surveyors, so we matched my vogue against a survey grade GPS to determine how off it was- My phone was +/- 3 feet (1m) in latititude and +/- 10 feet (3m) in longitude. I think that's pretty damn good. This was in a refinery in NJ, USA, with lots of big steel tanks around.
First I was using gps toggle, now I'm running NSFANs 6.5 v8 with gps viewer. I never have trouble getting a lock after about a minute of warming up.
Concerning the Shadow tech fix some of you guys have used here : http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36377&highlight=shadow-tech+agps
I was wondering if this fix has already been incorporated into all the cooked ROMs for the Vogue that have come out since March '09?
I am sorry if this has already been addressed. I tried searching the forum but nothing was coming up.
I have a tmobile wing running F1RCK'S 6.1 rom (from The Wingster). It seems like a quick enough rom but I still have the same problem I have always had; the hardware keyboard SUCKS when texting. When I slide it out for a text message, it takes up to 30 seconds to be ready to type. If i just immediately start typing, nothing shows up and then it all starts typing like 30 seconds later. This is a huge inconvenience. I have tried numerous roms, pagepools, overclocking etc. Nothing seems to help. Even when I run a minimal rom and disable all background programs it still seems to lag.
Usually I am running s2u2 and htc home screen and an app called vista hide battery bar. on start up. My idle ram is in the 50 - 60 % usage range. I found that getting rid of the battery bar helps but it's still sort of slow.
Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks in advance.

I've never had it go that slow before, but Windows Mobile is just slow at flipping from Portrait to Landscape.
But I've never had it be that extreme of a problem. Did it have that problem off a clean install of a ROM? Next time you flash a ROM, you should try texting before installing your usual programs, and then after. See if one of them is causing a probelm.
This should work
Try using OMAP clock and overclock the processor a little.
My wing is running wm 6.5 and i overlock to 240mhz...
keyboard seems gr8 now.
