I just got my new X1, it hanged a few times need remove the battery...
I don't know it is related to hardware or software (Spb Mobile Shell 2.12)
Is there any tool to test the X1 hardware?
many thanks

I get confused (I know its easy) but is it correct to say that any ‘Charmer’ discussions etc should be discussed in the same form as the Magician? I understand these devices named compact and compact II are similar in a lot of ways but not the same in others. With this in mind can it be said that utilities, programs, fixes, tweaks etc would run on both devices providing they are both executing WM5? Thanks in advance
Since there are limited users for Charmers, the admin decided not to have a seperate section for Charmers. Read this
They are very similiar (almost identical) in terms of the physical appearance, BUT they are very well different internally. One of the major differences is that, Magician runs W2003 while Charmer runs WM5. Hence, not all of the fixes and tweaks are interchangable. However, most of the utilities / software (excluding SIM/CID unlocking, ROM flashing) are interchangable since both are running Windows OS (eg. those software that runs on both W2003 and WM5).
In terms of the hardware, the Charmer is more like a HTC Wizard, in many cases. Example, the aWizard used for flashing ROM can be used for Charmer. The lokiwiz used by Wizard to perform SIM unlock can be used for Charmer as well. As for for fixes and tweaks, those from other WM5 units (Wizard, Prophet, Universal, etc) are mostly (not all) applicable to Charmer.
However, due to the similarity in appearance, Charmer stuff are very well inside the Magician forum. So, Magician user, beware
Thanks Hanmin as always much appreciated. So to recap I have some software from my BA that ran on 2003SE this may work? and help and hints etc can be found in both the magician and Wizard forums. Is this correct? As a newly aquired Charmer user I am not sure if this was the right device to buy as it is outside or radically different to the other devices on the forum.
Also since the site changed has the PM function been removed?
Thanks JD76
"I have some software from my BA that ran on 2003SE this may work?" - Yes
"help and hints etc can be found in both the magician and Wizard forums" - Yes, but you may also want to look at the Wiki section for WM5. Goodies are there.
"As a newly aquired Charmer user I am not sure if this was the right device to buy" - After I had it for almost a year, and loafing around this forum, I find that it is not the 'right' device to buy, as I kinda feel isoated with all the Wizard talks here (not the Tytn talk). However, a year ago, the Charmer and Wizard had almost a £100 difference. So, Wizard is not a 'choice' for me, I'm stingy. BUT, having said that, the phone is good enough for me, as I don't really like the keyboard idea as I'm an ex-Palm user.
As for the PM, you can click on the member's name and there is an option on the right for you to send PM.
Thanks Hanmin I agree with you. I'll have a scoot around and see what I can see see. Like your self I am not interested on the Keyboard but Wi-fi would have been handy. Thanks Jd76
Hi people,
Does not work me piu' the touchscreen already has happened to someone?
Tanks
I have tried HR SR and downgrade from WM6 to WM5
yes i had the same problem with mine it was a hardware problem, it was replaced with a new unit. it was a motherboard problem when the unit warmed up, like when connect throw usb to the pc or while charging...or with direct sunlight if you can replace by a new one
hello forum
...this problem is software or hardware?
i have a tynt ungrade to wm6... the system fo some minute work ok
after the touch screen go off
i try to downgrade wm5 but the touch go of in 2/3 min.
the sytem work ok with keyboard
have you a solution?
its hardware there are a lot of threads about this problem...no need to spent time upgrading because it wont do anything to it
I have the tytn 2 ppc, a while ago i learnt how to operate and control sky plus recordings though wm6, sony sky software and a little java thown in for good measure! problem now is i have the touch hd. i tried to install the sony software i use on the tytn but with no luck, the tytn version would only work using the pull down keyboard but i need to operate it using the onscreen one. can anyone sugest other sky software i should try?
BUMP - we need to solve this
I have upgraded my SMT5600 (Typhoon) to 6.1.
Now, how do I purchase software from the mobile software houses for the unit (ie., Handango, Pocketgear, etc.)? What parameters would I put into their system to make sure that the software that I was purchasing would work on this unit? Do I put in the phone as an SMT5600 (because then their system will assume that it is a WM2003 system) or do I buy software for a newer HTC unit that has WM6.1 on it?
Thanks

Be careful. you can not buy software for the SMT5600 @ 2k3 because its operating system is too different. You can not even buy the software dedicated to a modern device with wm6.1, because the recent devices have better features (cpu, memory, etc.).. I think the best thing is to focus on devices wm6.1 but test the software before you buy.
I think the HTC S310 which runs WM5 stock is reasonably comparable to the Typhoon in a matter of resolution and memory. The difference between WM2003SE and WM5 is bigger than the difference between WM5 and WM6(.1).
Nevertheless, like the above poster said, be sure to first try out before buying.
I'm having real problems gettings TomTom Nav 5 to run on my X1.
I had it running fine on a Touch Pro (UK o2 stock), but the phone had a fault. So did the replacement phone, so I've now ended up with an X1 which as far as I can tell is pretty much the same hardware as the Touch Pro (excet for the screen size, obviously).
On previous HTC phones I've had to manually install TomTom Nav5 from the three cabs in the 2577 directory as the autorun.exe setup would fail. BUT the install worked fine and the software ran fine afterwards.
With the X1, when I run up the software I get a corrupted agreement screen (attached as iagree.png) which stays on screen for about 10-15 seconds, then the Windows Mobile 'there was a problem' screen (attached as problem.png).
This repeats a couple of times after sending the log data, then I'm back to my programmes folder.
Has anyone managed to get Nav 5 to work on the X1?
I know poeple have Nav7 working, but as I bought Nav5 and it worked on the Touch Pro I am loath to spend more money on software which was doing me fine up unutil this phone (I also have a Go910 which I use for most SatNav use, but its handy to have my old Nav5 on my phone for when I don't have the Go with me).
Cheers,

TomTom Navigator 7 works fine on the X1.
http://www.tomtom.com/landing_pages/navigator7/en-gb/
As I said, I know TTN 7 works on the X1, but I have a fully paid for version of TTN5.
TTN5 worked fine on my Touch Pro, until the Touch Pro developed a fault. o2 are not able to supply the Touch Pro (Serra) any more in the UK, so I've had to make do with an X1.
I don't want to have to pay for TTN7, and I'd rather not have to go down the route of a cracked version of TTN7 when, as I say, I have a fully legit paid for version of TTN5.
TTN5 worked fine on all of my previous HTC phones, o2 XDA IIs, o2 XDA Mini S, O2 XDA Orbit and the Serra. The Serra being the first of the phones I've had with a VGA screen but TTN5 coping with it perfectly.
Woudl have been nice if TT had offered an upgrade path to TTN7 (or even TTN6), but they chose not to.
Now I'm stuck with a phone that won't run what I've paid for - because of o2 taking 3 months to replace my (Serra) handset with a new one (they failed to repair the firs, then replaced it with a refurb with a different fault!)
TTN5 installs OK, as I say in the first post, but fails to run with not much clue as to what might be causing it.
What are the diffs between the X1 and the Serra other than different screen resolution and aspect ratio, the missing accelerometer and different keyboard and keys layout? From the specs they appear to be very very similar, and the OS is surely the same (or could there be missing dlls from the o2 ROM maybe?)

Same here. For me it was even the guy from the TomTom helpdesk indicating that only TT7 will work on an X1 but that this version is not for sale.
He was very sorry that he could not help me with a legitimate solution...
When did you speak to TomTom? TTN7 is now out and available for WinMo phones.
