Who wants to make some cash?

Here's the deal.
I need someone in the US to update my just purchased SX56 to windows mobile 2003 and I would also like to get the digitravel GPS. I will buy that separately and mail the machine to them and if they could do the upgrade that would be great. As far as the digitravel, I would like to have that set up so I can use the phone at the same time as the GPS, and have the power sources done the most efficient way as listed on all the forums. Let me know if anyone is interested in doing this and what they would charge. You guys are sitting here soldering and stuff and I can't even get my windows media player to play mp3's. I don't consider myself computer illiterate, but I am certainly getting frustrated w/ this thing!!!!

I upgraded to WM 2003 by going to this site:
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org
He's German, and his instructions in English take a very close read, but his "WM2003 Final" Version A.30.09 ENG brought me up to Microsoft Pocket PC Version 4.20.0 (Build 13349).
Seems to be working mighty fine.
All the best, Carey

Leaponover, the digitraveller was a great idea at the time, however prices fo gps units have fallen dramatically and you are making work for yourself, just buy an off the shelf gps that is made for the job, a haicom 204e or 203e, or any other cheap unit will work great and you wont have the problem of charging the xda becuase they all come with dual charging/power cables.

Does anyone have a working fix for this?

Hey guys - this may be already dealt with, but I can't seem to find a workaround anywhere that flies, so please either furnish me with an answer, or direct me elsewhere if it's already been covered and I've been too damn dumb to see it.
Long story short, I'm really itching to play a few games on this phone - I own two MDA Touch Plus' and an MDA Touch (UK T-Mob) (or two Niki's and an Elf, if you prefer), and would love to know if anyone's managed a successful BT network between these PDAphones without resorting to additional hardware or connecting to a PC also?
I'm not interested in ICS etc via BT, simply being able to connect the phones for multiplayer games (Warfare Inc is high on the list ).
I've tried the wm6btpan.exe fix, and have had no luck with, and can't seem to find any reference to a widcomm hack for niki or other resolution.
Damn HTC for taking the WiFi out of the Elf > Niki, life would be so much easier if both were still there...HSDPA or no, don't they realise WiFi was more than just internet access - especially with the crappy m$btstack removing bluetooth as a usable alternative?
Anyhoo, I digress.
Ideally, I don't want to resort to cooked ROMs, ar anything too harsh, as my phones are all still within warranty (and even working for t-mob I can't afford to replace em all if they brick), but would love to hear if anyones got this working at all?
My multiplayer withdrawal is becoming unbearable!!!!
HELP PLEASE!

Google Android on HTC Prophet

Anyone knows if its possible?

Any updates please? would be really nice if i could run android on my prophet.

take a look at http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/wing-linux/wiki
still not running fully but getting closer.

http://friendfeed.com/husseinerol/6d58a78c/android-htc-prophet-de-1-download-rar-2-extract
take a look here. I'm currently at work so I can't test it. Pics look quite good.

Have you tried this yet?
does the android run well on the phone, do you know if the wifi works, phone works etc

veeeeeeeeeeery slow

any updates?
does anyone have any updates on the wing-linux project?
i noticed it's not really an active project anymore, sadly... but i'd really like to see any version of android fully working on the prophet.
maybe we could get some of the guys from the vogue forum to help out, since the hardware is so similar and they got android fully working and even froyo running smoothly.
is there any way of using some source code from the linwizard project to get the radio working on the prophet?
i'll be happy to test out any ideas. i have some programming skills, if that would help, but i have no experience with linux kernel or driver stuff.
please keep the old prophet alive

WP7 + LG Optimus 7 MY wrong choice

I make a mistake
not to read, before buying.
Last week my HTC P3600 (WM6.5) died
as urgently needed a new WM device §
Therefore I just enter a shop and bought this nice and cheap LG,
but I made a mistake,
my mistake I know, I did not check what WM7 is.
I couldn't even imagine that all my software could not run on WP7
There is no navigation turn by turn yet on Marketplace, that anyway I should rebuy
no Outlook sync (simple one and not on clouds), incredible.
Therefore, I've just put it on Ebay (item 180582667810)
and go to buy an HTC with WM6.5 soon, I hope.
Or maybe check better and read for Android one.
Thaks to all of XDA.

point 1. this has been known from the start, as they refreshed the whole thing completely.
2. you can use bing for turn by turn navigation...
3. The reason for the lack out no direct outlook sync is because so many complained about activesync not working properly, they went that way. You can easily set this up in the cloud by merely dragging/dropping your stuff into hotmail...
You should give the product a go... not just toss it a side because all your old products don't work on it.

if you explain exactly what your needs are then xda members can help you. so far the only real issues which im not happy with is the lack of file management. i used to be able to bring my phone to work, plug in, and download stuff from xda but not anymore!!!!

I've been reading this very useful and special forum and others only after I bought the LG/WP7, all last w-e, unfortunately.
I know it was my fault, I was too much confident and to quick at buying.
Bing/maps, I tested last w-e, are not really what I need.
I've a TomTom licence and my personal POI for work, I prefer to continue to use.
I need it and my other sw & tools this week,
I'm not so patient to wait all sw house to develop their WP7 version, if they will,
and I am not glad to pay more for the sw licences I already bought.
I'm 48, I'm coming from Compaq 3130 B/W with external BT GPS.
I love the new tecnology, but I still like the .cab way where else the market for me it to much crawded of games and music.
I'll pass to Wm7 maybe later on.
My post I just to suggest people to get infos before to buy, not like me.

I dont' understand what the LG Optimus is doing here in this post.
The problem mentioned by the OP is strictly related to WP7.
The LG is definitely a good device, with large storage capacity.

Get an HD2, it's still awesome hardware, or simply switch to Android, e.g. an HTC Desire or Desire HD/Z.

Hey, if you want, i'd exchange a Touch HD or HD2 for your LG

To arturobandini
I'm not saying that the LG Optimus is not a good device. I found it very fast indeed.
To tomhierl
today I was looking to the HTC products, thanks for Your suggestion.
To lpaso
sorry but I've already sold it on Ebay, it's flying to Norway in this moment.

If you buy an Android phone and the Missing Sync, you can sync wirelessly (WiFi or Bluetooth) with Outlook (+ music, pictures, custom folders, SMS, call log and more).
It's nice not having to worry about plugging the phone in and syncing manually, I think.

update issue
Unhappy upgrade problem (need help)
i am in great trouble these days regarding my phone, i have lg optimus 7, it is brand new my bro just bought it from uk, it had windows 7 by default then i upgraded it to mango via Zune and now the issue is that after upgrading it to mango the speakers stopped working , phone rings properly when someones calls me, when i receive a sms and when alarms starts, but does not work when i play something myself.
i hope you will help me : )
thanks in anticipation.

Hey,
You could buy a New Windows Phone 8 or 7 whatever you like! You can buy a Nokia Lumia 800-900 (300-199 $) or just a Windows phone 8 :
Because have Nokia Maps ( free turn by turn ) and for Outlook, Windows phone has integrated Outlook so you can sync with everything email services. XAP is pretty easy to use, just download it on your phone.
Why no old Windows mobile:
Marketplace is closed.
Windows phone 7-8 is Always fast
Email app is just fantastic and fluid
You're Always connected no emails notifications lost.
Why no android:
You have to optimize ( with Windows Phone is ready to configure)
Only for NERD ( Windows Phone don't need roms, kernel and etc...)
Android is very fragmented (Only Gingerbread and IceCream Sandwich you can fell the differences, Ok Windows Phone 7 and 8 but still good)
Trust me choose Windows Phone
Only a pity miss my favorite games but i play computer and there's Always angry birds and co...

^how is that going to help the OP? WP8 does not run WM 6.X software....
Amazon has NEW HD2 for slightly under $180

[Q] Nexus 7 as a bluetooth headset?

Hey guys
I'm using my nexus 7 dashed in my car. (Kinda!)
And i'm using tablet talk to connect my phone with it.
Also i have a bluetooth keyboard connected to my tab.
When i have a text, i can answer it easily. But when someone calls me and i accept the call the sound doesn't come from my car audio and my sound doesnt go through my tablet's mic. They bouth go through my phone!
So i have to use my n7 as a bluetooth headset for my phone. Is it possible?
Can anyone guide me?

No one? nothing? no helps? no ideas? cool!!! :|

For God's sake!!!
guys, this will be great. pleeeaaaase, consider developing or sth.

Cool it, seriously. The forum hardly revolves around this one post.
Given the way the Bluetooth radios are set up, it's not really an easy hack and you'd probably have better luck using a dedicated app over Wi-Fi direct or something (of course, such an app would have to exist as well in the first place). I remember looking into this for the iPod Touch a while back and didn't see anything either, but hopefully you'll have better luck.

Well it WAS an easy hack, It's just a case of setting the configuration files up correctly. You get the N7 to advertize the Headset service and an Roberts your father brother as they say. I just about had it setup a couple of months back...... I want to control the full telephony service through the N7 show incoming calls and all the fun stuff.... As a first step I got the voice routing through the N7 Microphone through a handset and onto the caller. However I stopped there because that was using android 4.1.1 and I want to be using the latest build... Which is where your right out of luck because 4.2 onwards is a different beast,
Google decided to replace a tried and tested well documented fully implemented Bluetooth Stack with something that's not quite finished yet whose documentation is the source code. That's why there's no Low Energy stuff on Android yet..... It could and should have been implemented last year, anyway I digress. So the options are
1. Use a rom prior to 4.2 - In which case the Bluez is well documented and this sort of problem has been solved multiple times on the linux desktop and the same ideas can be applied to Android, Google is your Friend
2. put the old stack back in and work with that, There's patches that do that but they are all a bit brutal and would be a nightmare to maintain.,
3. Wait for the Missing Code to be added, which could be tomorrow but It could be never
4. write the code yourself..... Fine if you're an expert in that area but the learning curve is inclined shall we say.
or,
5. You could spam XDA daily with requests .
Personally I put this project to one side because my nexus 7 is out on loan to my brother after he decided to bathe his HTC OneX in Lucozade for an hour...
