WM5 AKU 3.0 features info

FYI Mobile Review from Russia features a informative introduction to WM 5 AKU 3 (Tytn has 2.3). I hope this update will make it into a future Tytn ROM. Interesting improvements: A2DP update, vCards via SMS, support for WPA2, and enabling your provider to include language packs to choose from only once at initial startup of machine. BTW Does anybody know what is the advantange of sending SMS via GPRS? Free on a flat rate then?

Coming from experience with the BA, don't expect updates, we need gurus like Mamaich and Helmi to start working on the TyTN to help innovate it the way microsoft and others can't.
Try taking a look at the Blue Angel forums and you will notice the great advances they have contributed to make the Blue Angel a great competitor at an age of over 2 years old.

How do you send sms via GPRS? with Web & Walk flat rate of course

Any release date?

can someone clarify this...
if i am on the W&W from t-mobile does it mean that i can send sms' through gprs...
now here come the annoying newbie questions
How and whats the set up...
any help would it be appreciated
regards

The sending SMS via GPRS comment is regards the way WM5 handles vCards at the moment. Whilst Nokia, et al can all send a business card via SMS, i.e. the sensible way the Hermes can only send a vCard as an MMS, i.e. with significantly higher cost to most people. In the AKU 3.0 update you will be able to send vCards via SMS. Its only taken, what, four or five years for MS to acknowledge that people really do want to text busniness numbers to each other.

A LOT of great features are in P4350, required from customers: this is AKU. We have 2.3-2.6 and P4350 has 3.2 and the difference is like having XP service pack 1 or 2: try to restore winsock with service pack 1!
______________________________________________________________
from Wikipedia:
An Adaptation Kit Update (AKU) is a collection of updates, fixes and enhancements to the tools delivered to hardware device manufacturers to create or update devices based on a specific platform.
This term is used by Microsoft to designate the current update version for a particular embedded platform such as Windows Mobile which is used for Personal digital assistants and Smartphone devices. On the Windows Mobile platform the AKU is to Windows Mobile what a Service Pack is to Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft releases AKUs to allow device manufacturers with updates to create new products or fix issues with older products. These enhancements are usually not available to the consumer or end user unless released as a firmware update from the vendor.
_______________________________________________________________
That's will be the great crossbow power: WINDOWS UPDATE power.
Today from Phone manufatures point of view they have the AKU release from MS but they have money to earn with new devices and they don't really support old devices (eve 3-4 monts old!). Without real market competition the truth is: we paid the price of a laptop and we have a service of a radio player!
If you bought an ACER laptop 6 months ago and you still have No windows updates (and may be you never will have) this will be your last ACER! Today we are in the same condition
Sliding sound, contact via SMS, contacts and calls history search from home screen, a long list of feature unsupported in AKU 2 and released in 3 series...
I'm still hoping in some change of strategy from HTC, expecially for high-end phones, like our HERMES... but we have to make a loud noise to be heared!

I dont think this will work, from what HTC said about that keyboard it would seem that there is more interface between it and the o/s in the herald. the herald knows when its open and closed and is able to power the phone on. I believe there is a harware difference here.

the handset knows the keyboard is open as it flicks the screen round!

Nope. It's an hardware thing: there's a small magnet that makes the screen rotate.
It was actually the first thing I tried to emulate via software, when I got my TyTn back in September: it does work up to a point. Thing is that the sound only plays when the screen is FULLY rotated (as apposed when STARTING rotation), so it means that the keyboard is already open. It kinda defies the whole meaning, doesn'it? I plan to try it via some more low-level hacking in the near future, but I can make no promises: it's probably not possible.

Work in progress. Video URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0MqPMMBUqQ
The application mockup is done in JavaME. The UI engine powering all the animation is from UK's Tricastmedia - TWUIK
Not enough? Lots' more videos showing prolished GUI created with TWUIK here -> TWUIK UI midlet demos. See Nokia Widsets and Yahoo! GO UI mockup developed using TWUIK.

Wow...that GUI looks nice. Very interesting. Does anyone think something similair can be created for the java machine on our PPCs?

where do u download it

that looks pretty cool... as ive read you not going to be publishing this? am i correct? would really like to try it out on my TyTN

If they're not gonna release that, then why show it off?

On J2ME? But why? A bigger memory hog?

I dont think this can be used on a pocket pc, since it's not java oriented.
S60 will work.

J2ME to make it work with most MObile (ppc included)

hamoda-t: notice that you need a touchscreen, which not all mobiles have, in fact only few do.

I don't remember Nokia being tactile? (but I don't follow Nokia scene development).
And Windows Mobile has a built in Java virtual machine....

Hi,
Tricastmedia has WM5/6 compatibility for TWUIK, so... It can run without problems since TWUIK is cross platform, using Java or native PPC code or any other supported platform. Read @ Tricastmedia page.
Regards,
Taguapire.

Please share...

Video Chat (same as the TyTn II)

I have the HTC Apache (XV6700) with WM6, and my friend has the HTC Hermes (8525) with WM6 too. His phone screen has an option for video call, but it doesn't work. Is there any info on this? I don't have that option on my WM6 version.
I'm assuming AT&T has a video chat feature (or maybe will have one soon). I saw on a review site for the TyTn II (here is a link http://smartmobilegadgets.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/htc-tytn-ii-the-ultimate-mobile-companion/) The phone has a camera in the front that acts as a video chat.
Is there any way to get this working on our phones?
Here is a pic from the link above.

Even if you could get it working would you really want to? Lets think about this for a minute...your camera is on the back of the phone..so you would have to choose whether you wanted to see the person on the other end or turn the phone around so they can see you. Kinda defeats the purpose of "video chat" doesn't it? Additionally they are a 3g device that can handle data and a phone call at same time. The apache is not..it handles data OR a phone call.

Some people are just clueless. You have a phone designed for a CDMA network. NO CARRIER in US offers true video calling right now. (cingular's video share is useless if you ask me). What makes you think it would work ?!

A Call to Action !! Windows Phone fans...Smart Watch and/or open Smart Watch support!

Many of you will not know me, or remember me from the HTC HD2 area, or HTC Typhoon days ( by the way Thanks for all the great roms guys !!!!), however I never left Windows Phone, just moved up to a Nokia Lumia 1020.
Any way I have wanted a Smart Watch more then likely longer then most, not important, but being I have always been a Windows Phone user I have been on the outside looking in, like most of you. The Brave Pebble users aside, as they only have 3rd party Support, with 3rd Party coders not given access to allow sms/email/notifications. Microsoft only grants access to OEM, and Pebble is not interested in building for Windows Phone.
Any way things need to change and they need to move forward, but Microsoft for some reason does not see the need to expand beyond The Band. A good bit of kit, but designed for the fitness fans, not for the Smart Watch crowd, as The Band can not do the most basic of Smart Watch........a Watch Face.
Now news has leaked out that during the change of ownership of Nokia's Mobile division, a Smart Watch was to release with the Nokia Lumia 930, Moonraker was it's code name, but Microsoft stopped it's release. I see this is a slap in the face to Windows Phone users/Supporters/Fans, and Should not Stand !!!!
I give you Moonraker.....

Any way I am looking to drum up support, votes, tweets and retweets, hash taggers...and any other way you think you can push a message across to get Microsoft in Gear !!!! To either reverse the nix on the Moonraker or take the wraps off of what ever project they may have in the works for Smart Watch/Windows Phone users.
Links to add support ( but feel free to post your own ideas as well !!!!!!) :
Hash Tags for Twitter:
#WeWantMoonraker
#LetMoonrakerlive
Link to a tweet to retweet if you wish...(or link yours to have others retweet)
https://twitter.com/Greywolf_Ghost/status/611884845837512704
Microsoft User Voice to vote on:
A Call to release anything Smart Watch like, not just The Band
Open Support for 3rd Party, mainly Pebble
Also if you can think of any other ways to draw attention to this, Please post it up and add support. If we don't force the issue Microsoft will not see any need.
Ok thanks for reading!!! Hope you all join in and help raise a fuss
