Yo gang,
Just wondering a few things about the atom, and hope someone can answer my questions....
1: Can the atom send messages, pics and other material via bluetooth??? I can only see an option to beam
2: Can the atom do loudspeaker phonecalls??? You know answer the phone than go to loud speaker???
3: How the hell do i disable sms plus so my text messages are sent to my normal text inbox... sms plus really blows, but i like the added features in o2 plus...
Hope someone can clarify my questions, or even point me in the right direction to some after market software apps...
Much respect and thanks..
Matt
Firstly I don't have a Atom but I have a IIs which is upgraded to WM5. But all the things I suggest should be similar on all devices.
1. Bluetooth - If you search on Google you should be able to find something which will do what you want it to do. Try http://www.pocketgear.com/ and http://www.handango.com/home.jsp?siteId=1
You should find something, sorry I can't help more. But it is very possible to do it.
2. Loudspeaker - This should be a easy on just hold the talk button down for a few seconds then to turn speaker phone off hold the talk button for a few seconds.
3 SMS Plus - I am sorry but all I can suggest is that you uninstall it and just reinstall 02 Plus. It can be found here http://www.seeo2.com/product/XdaIIi/template/O2Plus.vm I think it leaves out 02 SMS Plus let me know how you go.
cheers man..
very cool to know the atom does have these functions, and saves me reading the damn destruction book.. i will post back another reply once i am home from work, and have done a little investigation....
thanks

about sending the stuffs through bluetooth... first ensure that ur bluetooth is switched on(preferably discovery mode if u want to rcv files too.) Also worth mentioning, please c to it that the bluetooth device where u want to send the file as its bluetooth on and in discovery mode. Now tap and hold on the file(from file explorer) that u want to send. choose beam option. wait for the target device to be found and appear on list. tap on it to send. Voila!!!
please note that some device allows sending/receiving through pair only. bloody bluetooth... has to be blue!!!

Having had my XDA 2 now for a few weeks, and having finally worked out most of the kinks of the really inadequate bluetooth stack (by installing the widcomm stack) I am now moved to address my other annoyances: the very feature poor phone software.
I expected a very configurable phone, but was very disappointed with the microsoft dailer. The short list of features I find missing are:
No separate ring tones can be assigned to each contact. This could be very usefully, as you would know who is phoning without checking the screen.
No software to keep track of your calls or GPRS allowance. Even my old nokia from 3 years ago could do that.
No way to transfer a call from the handset to a headset. I know you can do it the other way around, why not this way too?
Very little status information on the dailer screen. Why is this,when most cell phone screens look like the status display on a jet?
Anyways, there is alot more, and people may want to add their annoyances. Im really wondering if there is any software that can replace the microsoft Dailer (like Pocketinformant replaces the pocket outlook).
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Took me a minute to know what you're talking about.
No, I hate the built-in dialer on the Pocket PC.
The author of mobidial (http://www.mobidial.com) told me there will be an XDA II version.. hopefully soon.

hey,
just a few comments....
re: No separate ring tones can be assigned to each contact
- i beleive the o2 xda site has free software for download; one of which is called powercontacts. i believe it allows you to assign a ringtone to each contact. i tried it when i still had the xda1...never got it to work. so, i downloaded a trial version of ringtonex; it works like a charm and i'm able to assign individual ringtones to any contact i want. i immediately bought the software, i think it was for around 9usd. now that i'm using the xda2; the software still works great. for ringtones what i did was record the voice of my friends, officemates, my wife, and used those wav files for ringtones corresponding to their contacts. it also works in tandem with the photocontacts app in the xda2
re: No way to transfer a call from the handset to a headset
-the xda2 has bluetooth and i use it together with the bt200 headset. incoming and outgoing calls are automatically transferred to the headset.
2 cents worth.
cheers mate

Transferring from phone to headset is a headset dependent thing. My HBH-65 allows me to transfer to phone and back to headset, but my Jabra wouldn't have.
Thx for the great pointers. I am definitely getting the RingtoneX app, and mobidail or something similar, when it comes out.
I just wish that developers would design more for handed use, not using a stylus, especially as bluetooth voicedailing does not work.
About transferring to a headset, I mean after you pick up a call with the XDA, transferring the call to a headset should be possible, but has not worked for me yet.
Another minor peeve, why is the sms option not on the dialler, but on the menu bar, and why is speaker phone also not on the front, but you have to press a key for it. There still needs to be alot of improvement. Hopefully independent programmers will kick in and fix all these deficiencies. It does make you wonder if the developers actually use their own devices or not...

i think it's because that most cell phones screens is their version of the today screen
i most surdenly would not wish such a confusing cluttet messy interface on my worst enemy
(yeah of cause not all cellphones are all that bad some many are)
I dont know. At least they should have the battery status on the screen, and the network logo would not be ammis either (currently its difficult to know when you have no reception, or just no reception)
Alot of the stuff thats currently in the task bar could also be bigger icons on the dailer, and it would also make it look less plain and just incomplete, as if its been thrown together at the last minute.
Surur
well not sure if it's much help but if you install some bar like advanced wisbar on your pda you'll have batt status in the bar both in today and the dialer
suppose this is a pre customised vs. free 3. party customising
some people like to set up their device with personal customising and some people want the place they buy it to handle that
in that way i suppose xda and other such devices are more like computers then std phones are
of cause if one get a xda with all the stuff in the preloaded provider rom they get more of that stuff you want
of cause thats not saying that they get enough
Ive been a user of Icbar for a long time, but as notifications is so important on a PPCPE device, and its not supported, I am not able to use it anymore. This is unfortuanate, as I enjoyed knowing what my battary status is all the time.

If you want to use your finger to dial contacts try Fingerclix by imaginet software. I used it on my Samsung I700 and now my I-Mate and it works just fine.

This is brilliant. It would be even better if it could use the phone key insteadof loosing my contacts button. Any idea how to do htis.
Thx

Hi
not known what you device is, I'm guess it an xda exec or similer the setting for changing the sound of the mms is here:
start>setting>sounds & Notifications>Notification tab
then scroll down the event and you should see the mms sound settings.
Ciao
Gigino
compact but ill re rtry what you have suggested thank you
Same way.
If you want to change mms tome,
start
settings
personal tab
sounds and notifications
notifications
event ( pick mms)
then change how you please.
If youw nat to personalise with your own phrase, mp3 etc.
Then simply covert desired sound in to wave format and place in windows folder in phone. This can also be used for alarm tones.
mate are those actually all your deivces you have listed
if so your crazy but its cool 8)

hey
i have been using the xda mini s and my mate started to give me some software to place on it, i installed the Wisbar advanced on there and i really like this piece of software. the only problem is and i dnt understand how, is that when i send a txt message, it resends the same txt message again to the same person, it had sent 5 to the same person. i turned it off and it doesnt seem to do it anymore, is it the software of teh phone, and does anyone know of any of software similar to this.
Also music which i store on my sd card i can save them as my ringtone, but when i put wisbar on, i dnt have the option. i can install something which allows me to do so but is there anyway i can change this too
hope this makes sences

hi guys!
this is what i want to do:
i want to be able to send sms messages from an external device which is connected to my athena.
1. let's say i have, for example, this "acme gadget" which is connected to athena through bluetooth. let's say the "acme gadget" can send alphanumeric chars to athena and then send those as sms.
2. or let's say, i have my bluetooth headset on, and i have a program called "acme program" on my athena that has speech-to-text feature. that program can then send sms from athena.
i'm really hoping i can send sms without having to bring my athena out of my bag, specially on snatcher-prone places.
ciao!

okay,
if i cant find a ready-made solution for this, then i will do my best to create a solution myself.
for developers out there, can you please point the correct direction for me to tread? any pointers will be very much appreciated.
more powers to you guys.

I guess you mean something like this, although this one is for motorola's !!
http://mobilementalism.com/2006/01/04/ces-2006-motorola-miniblue-bluetooth-headset-2/
Exatly ice_coffee!
Although I can live without the qwerty keyboard, a numeric keypad like those in regular cellphones will do.
If it's appearance is something like an lg style-i, it would be perfect.
Oh well, thanks for the post ice_coffee.
I'll keep on searching.

Hi!
I have had this phone for a few days and have unlocked and upgraded to WM6!
I am really happy as I have just upgraded from my HTC Alpine!
My only remaining problem is Bluetooth.
A) I have to turn on Bluetooth before I can send a file within explorer.
B) I can't receive files at all! It simply says ERROR on the senders phone.
The latter is the more important one which I need a fix for ASAP. I have trawelled the web and have not seen a fix.
I have obviously made sure that my phone can be detected and to receive all incoming beams as well as pairing them. Still no luck.
I also had a look at Bluezard which looks quite good as an extra, (want to recieve files without it) but it look quite old and no longer in development, is there any other application that does the same thing that it perhaps a bit more modern?
Thanks,
Joe/Jophster
In phone settings there an icon for Beam. Check it if not already check. Then try to receive file. If already checked then try to change the sending device may be bluetooth not connecting because of any conflicts.
About sending you have to keep the bluetooth active/on because there is IR port in hermes so it will not ask you to on bluetooth.
Bluezard
Hi
Well the ROM I was using apparently had problems so I have tried a different one and will experiment. It was so easy with my HTC Apline, it is so annoying to do something so simple!
Thanks for the help!

Do you know of any others. Maybe a way to chat via bluetooth or to send multiple files. If not then Bluezard looks like a good solution.
