big brother

i was wondering if anyone could help, ive been giving an xda 2 as a company phone it had idesta now software on it to log into the work network,
( i work in a service based industry so we use them instead of jobsheets and the customers sign the phone) the problem is we have been told the we are not allowed to use the camera or connect any device to them ever, and if we do they will find out about it, and we will be in big doo doo, can they find out? if so how can i stop them, also we only apparently have guest windows logins to them, any thoughts?

AT&T connection problem

Hello all, I'll get straight to the problem and not waste any more of your time than needed as I know most of you are very busy.
I got a new HTC TyTN II and I am on AT&T in the US. My problem is that when I try to do something that streams audio or video data it will not do it. I connect to the Wi-Fi and it will do it just fine. I can open web pages and do speed tests till I turn blue, but streaming audio and video are out. I must also point out that because I live in Denver there is no 3G, I am on EDGE.
I have already talked with HTC, but they said I need to talk to the provider since the phone can do it via wi-fi. I went to a local AT&T store and said it might be my plan, they changed it from the MediaMax + 200 to the PDA connect package. I have seen no change and this was about 14 hours ago from this post. The rep also changed out my sim card as I had a Cingular 64K smartsim, they upgraded me to a AT&T 3G sim. They were unable to figure it out and suggested I call AT&T tech support (oh joy). I called and the rep I talked to said that its because I'm using an unbranded phone on the edge, when 3G hits denver this problem should go away, he also mentioned that it happens with most of the 3G phones that AT&T sells. For some reason though, this just doesn't sound right. Technically it could be done. A 64kbit audio stream is easily done via a 200kbit data EDGE connection, so I don't see why they wouldn't allow it. Just seems foolish to block these services if this is true. I just have a hard time believing this is the cause.
I have a few programs that do work, and don't work because of the data issue. Youtube mobile works, it uses a program called "Streaming Media", and the file format is .3gp, but when I stream other data, like from Orb in .3gp, it does not work, even in "Streaming Media". I have another program called Resco Radio, it enables me to listen to Shoutcast radio, but it does not work at all on the edge, on wi-fi it works fine. Then I have xstreamxm.com, they allow me to listen to XM on my mobile device using Windows Media Player. This also does not work.
Programs that do work are Windows Live Maps, Google Maps, Youtube Mobile, and internet surfing. Speed tests are coming in from 174-226kbits/sec from dslreports.com.
Knowing what you know now, what do you think the problem could be? I am open to ANY suggestion, so please write back. Thank you in advance for your time.

Sounds like you need to disable the proxy if you're on the $20 MEdia Maxx plan.
Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330171&highlight=streaming
It was a very simple search for me....

I have searched around the phone and I am not able to locate where to disable the proxy. I searched all the connection settings area and all the connections area. hmmm.....
EDIT - I found it, I had to change the settings on MEdiaNet, not My ISP. MEdiaNet settings are harder to get to which is why I missed them. You can't directly get to them from the connections page, you have to get the settings link while its dialing. I seemed to have gotten it fixed (HOORAY FOR ME! lol)
Thanks Flapjack for pointing out that thread, that really helped.

Sprint TV working again

Install the attached CAB in zip
replace Program Files/SprintTV/Cache with the attached cache folder in zip

Worked for me, although some channels are showing unavailable. Something is better than nothing!

where do install the cache folder Do I overwrite the existing one? Thanks

Yes, if you have not installed the app before, install it and start it. It will create the folder after running the intro movie and try to load the channel list. Close the program out at this point, overwrite the folder (it takes a bit, be patient), and then restart the program. Should be good to go. That's the steps that I took anyway.

still not working for me
I am still gedtting the unauthorized user error.

it works at first for me but anytime i try to open a channel it says "this channel is currently unavailable (7000)". Ive tried pretty much every channel. anyone know why?

Sprint needs to get off it's ass and offer this to us Mogul users as well.
It's pathetic that a phone that costs half of our Mogul gets this, while we get nothing (unless you consider Sprint Music to have any value).

worked great the first time for me, now no channels load up. going to recopy cache folder, see if that does it, but i don't want to have to do that each time...

I just raised this exact issue over at Buzz About Wireless. It makes no sense that EVERY Windows Mobile phone available from Sprint includes Sprint TV except the Mogul.
The least they should do is offer it as a free download for any Mogul owners who are interested.
Doug

if you burnt sprint tv into the rom (for 6700) or if you had it already installed (on your mogul) then you need to:
burnt into 6700 rom - either reburn w/o sprint tv or try install fresh copy of sprint tv....
already on mogul - uninstall previous installation and reinstall...go thru the necessary steps and your done
btw...i have a 6700

This is bull crap....the newest sprint phone out there dosen't do things an old boat anker can do.

The cache work around works in 2.17. I just tried it out a few min ago and also last night. Unfortunately if you happen to wonder too far and try a channel that doesn't work it says "This channel is currently unavailable (7000)" or something like that then re-checks the subscriptions. Once this happens it wont display channels anymore. The key is stopping it from rechecking/updating the cache folder/subscriptions. Perhaps it can be re-engineered to block this. Or If someone keeps developing and updating the cache folder perhaps we can have one that shows only channels that will work continuously or something.
I went back in a deleted the cache folder and replaced it again and it worked. It's a pain to have to do this after almost every time you use it heh. It was working fine until I tried some channels that weren't showing.

I second that, and, no, I don't.

is this better than handitv?

Installed last night, updated the cache after install. SprintTV loads, but on the channel selection menu, the stations just stay in a "loading" state...
Any thoughts/suggestions?

try deleting the cache folder again and copying the one with the 4 folders back over. I have to do that every other day to keep it working.

I seem to be one of the few with the inside info on this app. We have beat this topic to death on other forums, but allow me to share some info with you all here.
Channel 7000 error is similiar to a web404, meaning the channel is only temporarily unavailable (perhaps bandwith, perhaps far more users than anticipated). This is a MobiTV powered product with similiar channel issues reported as well by Mobi users.
Sprint is attempting to verify subscribers at the server level using a unique combination of handset and application info. The cache replacement is a temp fix and has to be "reset" in order to continue to use the service. Short of cloning a Touch ESN/IMEI there may not be other options at this time.
It was communicated to me that Sprint indeed intends on releasing this product with a future ROM update (no eta was clarified). Other versions of STV released on non Windows Mobile phones are supposedly java based making the Touch the first Sprint WM device.
Power Vision users have basic TV included, premium channels have additional subscription fees or users can upgrade to Vision Ultimate which includes Premium TV.

sprint tv

my sprint tv used to load super quick now it takes forever and says channel unavailable (7000) someone please help me

try
try reinstalling
and ensure you have the latest version

You may need to do a soft reset. + not all channels are available 24hrs a day.

Sprint TV on other Carriers
Hey
I've got a THC Vogue (Sold as Okta Touch in New Zealand).. does anyone know if you can watch SprintTV on a Touch connected to a Non-Sprint network?

What can I do with an non Activatable Titan.

I got my titan about a week ago from ebay. And after a week of dealing with sprint to get it activated they told me it can't be activated in the system but luckily I had called before I purchased my phone to confirm the ESN was good and they reassured me it was so there going to send me a replacement titan. They told me I don't need to return my phone so basically I have an extra phone that can't be connected on sprint.
So how can I make this a productive phone with out cellular coverage and is there a way to lock the phone from placing calls?

well, it has WiFi, so you can use it as a mini internet tablet around the house, you could use it to stream music wirelessly from your PC, watch youtube vids, use it as a regular PDA or even use it to test custom ROMs

i thought it was possible to change the esn to a 6700 or another 6800... that would give you a working sprint phone to use..

Use it as a dedicated GPS, just need an app that has the maps on the phone already.

Thanx for the ideas, I was thinking of trying android on it.

Sell it for parts - They are going around ~100+ for bad esn phones. Would help pay for the working one.

So is there an Android ROM for the Titan somewhere?

I ran got a copy of it in this website
http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/
you unzip it to your sd card and run the exe file. I was disappointed since it runs on ram so its slooow and buggy but its worth looking at.

Flash it to Cricket then sell it. Cricket excepts bad ESNs. Or sell it to me.

limitless possibilities
1. it has wi-fi, so you have all the net
2. if you don't have wireless, you can use the new mogul as a wi-fi router, and you will have internet etc. which can all be run thru blue tooth. I am currently doing this with my working titan and an old blue angel. Really sweet!!!!!
3. it uses micro SD cards which are now cheaper than dirt. You can load Music galore and stream out thru BT, my wife is an avid reader and you can load a hell of a lot of books onto a 1-2G card
It can do damn near everything except make an independent phone call. You could probably VOIP it too.
Enjoy the free toy!!

Why can't it be activated? Is it on the bad list, if so that can sometimes be removed.

Without a network connection you wont get aGPS so no chance of instant gps lock. But it will still function reasonably well as a gps after you get a lock. I would recommend installing quickgps and htc gps tool and use it as a gps device (along with a off network gps program such as TomTom Nav, iNav, GarminXT etc.
It could also be a reasonable MP3/vid player but a lot bulkier than purpose built devices.
I like the idea of using it as a mini tablet pc and buy yourself on of those full size bluetooth keyboards (the virtual keyboard I mean, not the actual one).
Android hacking would be fun too.

I had the same problem, but I couldn't activate it because it wasn't a sprint phone...being with GSM I didn't know about that stupid rule.
so, I just flashed it with a cooked rom and sold it to someone with sprint.
Cut my losses, bought for 200 sold for 200...Never been so glad to get rid of a phone in my life.

VIOP
i didnt see anyone mention it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1516154&postcount=12

I would offer to send it to the guy developing the vogue port of Android so that he can have a titan to develop with which could help out the effort of getting Android on our devices and finally get rid of WinMo which is just bleh.

Thanx for all the input, I ended up selling it on ebay. I just couldn't see my self carrying 2 titans at the same time.
By the way is there a way to make the sprint mogul work on the nextel network? I'm already planing on moving to the touch pro but I dislike my work phone Nextel motorola i580 (the worst phone i've ever used). I know there is a way to put a sim card reader on the mogul but I also know that nextel uses iden instead of cdma.
