thanks
why do you sell?
Please allow this question: Why do you sell your TyTn already?
I am about to buy one, but if I read through this forum, all I can see is problems and complaints.
I once had the MDA compact, which was really good. Then I changed to the Vario, which was in some cases not as good as the compact.
Now, that my Vario got stolen, I am looking for the successor, but unfortunately I can not find so many positive posts here.
So if your reason to sell is your disappointment about the device, please share and let me know.
Thanks and regards,
A. Rossband
the vario II is the best PDA Phone I've ever had. I have owned an MDA Compact, vario, and an MDA pro.
I await a firmware upgrade to fix a few video playback issues, and the camera is still wishy washy at best; but as a web browser and as a phone it is simply a pleasure to use. I'm very happy with the battery life too.
I have no issues with this phone that won't be resolved with future updates, and even these don't particularly bother me now.
I truly believe that this is the best HTC phone available at the moment.
Hello aro,
I have my TyTN for about a week now and I love it.
Before buying it I also read a lot in the forum and got a bit scared especially about the screen alignment (and some other) problems which IMHO seems to be hardware related issues.
Anyway I still decided to buy the device and take the risk of having it replaced.
I tried most of the available ROMs and ended up with the iMate (JasJam I think) ROM which for me is very fast and stable.
IMHO all the negative reports here are for two reasons:
1. It is a quite new device so some initial problems are unevitable.
2. One of the main purposes of forums like this is to discuss problems so of course it is full of them. I think/hope there are a lot of ppl like me out there very happy with their TyTN but not posting about it on the forum.
So my conlusion is this. If you are willing to take the risk about the hardware issues meaning you may have to get a replacement if you are unlucky (I tried to figure out how common these problems really are - see point 2 - but without satisfying results) and if you don't mind some initial software flaws then go for it.
IMHO it is a great device and well worth the money.
Otherwise wait a couple of months to be on the safe side.
I hope this helps you in your decision process and maybe a few other happy TyTN users like myself can post here, too
Kind regards,
Uli
P.S. I had a Magician before and although I was very satisfied with it, it is nothing compared with the TyTN
Yes, totally agree with hukoeth... another happy Hermes user here!
Guys (and gals), just wondering what the %'s work out as for the people running WM6 in place of 5 on there hermes.
And as an aside, hows it going and anything you have noticed as a negative..
Thanks andy
guess i probably should ask, after you have upgraded, can you leave it alone, or is it one rom after another?
i have done the update on my orange 3100 which i think is a brand of HTC and all works brill!!!!!!! god i wish i did this ages ago
I used to upgrade to newer or older more stable WM5 roms every month after I got my 8525. I think I flashed my SDA a dozen times in 3 months. After I put the last WM6 rom on my 8525 I haven't touched it since. There are a few backlight and keyboard glitches that have tempted me to try another firmware but I haven't been annoyed enough to worry about it.

does this mean that the wm6 upgrades do not have battery issues etc like the universal upgrades had?
can you roll back to original rom if needing to send back under warranty?
I figure that because my wm5 has no problems at all I should not screw with it. On the other hand, the wm6 on my trinity is full of bugs and will be updated soon.
Mine came with wm6 and runs flawlessly. I thought I would mess with a new rom but ... if it ain't broke I ain't gonna fix it.
Interesting that the % of wm6 users is as high as it is. I would have expected a lower % but it would appear the flashing path is well trodden.
I am sort of thinking alone the lines if it aint broke... but then maybe wm 6 would be nice too lol

Geek,
The only way to be sure, apart from this poll, is to do shedloads of research and reading off this forum eg the wiki, the mr vanx guides, all the stuff on fixing your phone if you brick it, the hard spl stuff, the forums, etc. When you have fully assimilated the info and KNOW what you need to do to protect yourself BEFORE you flash, then go ahead and flash.
The Mr Vanx guides will also tell you how to return to WM5 if you want to (why you would want to do this is a mystery).
I spent 8 weeks reading everything connected with upgrading to WM6 on here BEFORE I jumped. I took every precaution I could find, triple checked EVERYTHING, then I did the deed.
The rest, as they say, is history. Go on, you know you want to..!!

There should be a third option:
"Yes I did, no issues, but not worth the effort."
WM6 isn't that big of a deal. WM6 is nicer to look at but if I wanted pretty there's the iPhone instead.
I don't regret moving to WM6 and will never use WM5 again, but I give the whole issue very little thought. Frankly I'm surprised anyone really cares.
I wonder if PC forums have these sorts of discussions about which Windows OS they are using on their computers in spite of all of the versions being basically the same from a usage standpoint over the past 12 years.
lol I think WM6 no issues is winning haha

Hmmm,
Not sure I would agree with this statement. The key reason why I moved to WM6 from WM5 was that WM5, as received from the manufacturer, was so unstable in day-to-day operation that I was on the brink of selling my Tytn and moving back to a Symbian device.
WM6 has given me masses of stability and the Tytn has stayed. Interestingly, the level of stability that I now experience has come from a fully loaded cooked ROM. I'm not sure what the experience is for others on the stock WM6 ROM; however it worked for me.
Each to his own, of course.

I am still running WM5, a couple of people I work with have just upgraded thier devices to WM6 Schapps ROM and are reporting no issues.
My WM5 crashes every now and then or doesn't "wake up" from a standby, but I guess thats just something we have to live with !?! Or is that wrong ?
Apart from the HTML email support, and a suppossed speed increase I am not sure it is worth the risk of upgrading (?) My device is still in warranty so I am maybe being over cautious ?

No,
Having paid your hard eaned cash for a device you should not have to put up with crashes or unpredicatble performance/behavior.
My device had 6 months warranty left on it when I upgraded the OS. It still has 3 months to go. What are you worried about?
If you take a serious amount of time out to understand the process, potential pitfalls, preventative measures and remedies associated with ROM upgrading, and use some common sense, I don't see why you should not be ok.
The decision, as with everything in life, is yours...

Fair comment WB, fair comment.
I agree with the above, most who use WM6 don't go backward to 5! It's a progression to the latest and greatest which includes better interfaces, support & development. When ever WM7 comes out, then we'll be moving forward to that one...
BTW: there have been numerous polls already, so this seems redundant.
You'll mess with it a lot the first day or two, but once you find a ROM you like, that's it!
Glad to see no one is bricked when I vote!
somewhat useless thread

Right! Why would WM6 "brick" it? Like asking, "Did Vista brick your PC?"
Is it possible to return to WM5 in case WM6 fails to satisfy
Hi friends after looking at the results I am planning to shift to WM6 in my Orange SPV 3100...Is it possible to have this OS in my Orange..Anybody plz tell me what is the difference b/w both of these OS I mean whats new in WM6 which wasn't there in WM5..
hi guys, im new to the world of pdas/smartphones and have recently purchased an alpine (o2 xdaIIi) that should arrive tomorrow so i've been looking at upgrading before i start putting info onto it and wiping it in the process.
i've read as much as i can take in over the past couple of days about upgrading the software before posting anything too stupid.
my question is, out of the two rom updates i have managed to find active links for which would you recommend as the most stable?
alpine-1.11.171-radio-1.04-bluetooth-patched-camera-fixed.rar
Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed.rar
personally i dont really mind if it has the 02 stuff on it or not as i'm with that provider anyway, going on version numbers i would say the first one would APPEAR to be the one to go for but experience tells me newer isn't always better. i appreciate any input from senior members.
Hello folks!
this is my first post here, altough i've been reading and learning stuff from here for a few months already. Good stuff that can be found here! I bought a refurbished 9100 from qtek g3 model, 3 months ago in ebay; the problem was that it fell down to the floor once (1meter fall) and since that day i have severe GSM network problems on the food. Almost no network on the mobile. 99% of the times i try to do a network search.
So i have my eyes on a phone that is for sale, also used. The fella says that the screen is broken, and that that is the only problem with the phone. All else worked fine. I asked him if he knew if the phone was a G3 or G4 model, (since i have a g3 and wanted to mix both into one phone to get a perfect one) but he doesn't knows.
He was able to tell me though that he bought the phone from Vodafone in March 2007. And my question is: is there any way to know, by manufacturing date or any other way (imei?) if the phone is a g3 or g4 model?
AFAIK theres no problem in mixing G3 with G4 parts, but am i wrong?
Thanking in advance who ever reads my post and replies.
BTW: everthing else works perfect on my WIZ excluding the network, and i had it CID unlocked and installed Win mobile 6.0.. sweet! i was in symbian for 4 years with a siemens sx1 before, and i must say i definitely love windows mobile! simply awesome browsing the web through wifi (for free!) and then still connected on MSN open up Age of Empires Gold edition and enjoy such fine graphics on a mobile!
Hello brother...and may I commend you on making an excelent first post! PLENTY of info for us to help you! But to the point, you are correct, there is no problem in mixing G4 parts with G3 and vice versa. The only difference between G4/G3 phones and the different brandings are simply the DOC chips on the boards themselves(that what makes them a G4/G3), and the branding on the casing. The innards are identical. So I hope that helps!
thanks for the reply!
but what about the other question i made? can you help in any way?

Hi there
I'm a bit new to xda's, I've just inherited an o2 exec. After playing around with it for a while it's flaws start to shine through quite brightly. From what I have read on here I need to flash the rom as a starter, but before I turn this thing into a brick I just wanted to ask a few questions.
1. From the guide I read, the imate 30 September rom is the best one to use, but that guide was made some time ago. Is this still the case?
2. If so is there anything different that I can expect installing on the o2 exec or is the only difference between the devices the hardware.
3. Any tips on where I might be able to pick this up from would be well received.
4. I live in China, apparently there are now all three types of 3g phone networks available, does this device work better with one type of network and not with another?
Much Gratitude

Welcome to the forum
1. The best ROM is the one that fits your personal needs, try several till you find the right one! (Personally I recommend Tomal 8.5)
2. If oyu have your original ROM is wm5, on this great forum you can find fantastic ROM´s 6, 6.1 and even 6.5 beta, so yes there aremuch different!
3. First of all please READ the Wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Then search for the ROM you want on Universal forum, if you don´t know which then READ the members opinions
4. Uni has 3G for europe and Asia, so I don´t think you´ll have a problem with this
Good luck,
thanks so much
i have had a good read of the wiki but i am still a bit unsure about a couple of things. once i have these cleared up i'm gonna jump in.
so any rom will work on any unit (ie xda,dupod,jarjar)? Is there no difference whatsoever between the different brands?
also how does the speed of windows mobile 6 compare with 5?
thanks again
ignore me.....bit the bullet an went for it, every thing is fine and wm6.1 is running about 6 and a half billion times faster than 5 was
