It used to be 'Change Prefrences->Show version' but now i cant see that option! I think im on v7...
when you are actually using it it says on the screen in a box
click on the bit where it shows the time and speed info and then just above the done button it will show you the version number, selecting it will give you more info including your device id
Cheers home dudes
How do I find out my device code?

That's in almost the same screen as the version. Click the part of the screen where you found the version, then a more extensive screen shows with software version, available memory, gps driver version, map version, language, device id (that's what you're looking for) and some more.
Maybe you should look a bit better in stead of asking it right away? I get the impression that you don't search or try very hard, while that's the best and nicest way to learn things about the X1, Windows Mobile or any other thing actually.

Hey Guys,
I posted this in the Kaiser thread. It works brilliantly on my Ameo too.
Here's the first post from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332324
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve found a mint piece of software that no Kaiser owner should be without.
It comes with a trial period and u should check it out.
I was looking for some software that would help secure my phone and came across this. http://www.wimp-software.co.uk)
It’s supposedly designed to help you find your phone (yeh right, I aint gonna lose my £500 phone) but me and my mate have had a **** load of fun with it.
It’s pretty cool.
If you read the instructions, you can basically text the phone, but the other person doesn’t get the text message. The software grabs this coded text message and sends you back the gps position of the phone. It also gives you a link to google maps which is great if you’ve got Opera installed on your phone. (Don’t try PIE, it doesn’t work)
I gotta say, I’ve seen a lot of cool software around, but this one is SO cool. I only wish my girlfriend had a Kaiser. I could have so much fun with this.
The only thing I would add to the software though, is to know I was being WIMPED. Maybe a little SMS noise, or the icon changed or something, but I do suppose that it was written for phone theft. I haven’t tried it yet, but it also claims that if you change the SIM card in the phone it’ll SMS you with the number of the new SIM card.
this is a great find. thanks
Yes, this is a fantastic idea. However, the implication on our privacy is something to think about very seriously. Yes, it does protect our phone from theft and lost.
Can it be uninstalled or removed by a hard reset.?
Yes, it can be uninstalled, and yes it will be removed by a hard reset.
HOWEVER, pop it into your External Rom and the above two things become insignificant.
That's very true.
or cook it into a rom, doesnt help if they re-flash though...
Mobile Justice
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice
Does the same, is freeware, works without problems on My athena WITHOUT bottom bar at 128 DPI (WINP shows no ICON)
The easiest way could be to cook it into a ROM and put the config file into an unlocked EXTERNAL ROM.
This is needed because a config file is requested, so, even if you cook mobile justice into the rom, you can't cook the config file (it needs your password, your SIM number and your phone number to report at..)
Then you can config your phone and even in case of an hard reset, without the thieft knowledge of the SW, it will restart and it reads the config file into the external ROM

We would have to assume that 99.9% of the guy having our phones does not know anything about flashing. This is a reasonable assumption I think.
Having even 80% chances of getting back a lost phone is already not bad.

Agree with this. Even having the config file on the MicroDrive might work, if this could be built into the ROM to look there by default. Don't know if that's possible. Yes, you could erase the Microdrive but this would take more research than the usual thief might be willing to make...
WIMP says it will send a Google Maps link, will Mobile Justice do that? Seems like MJ is actually more configurable.

MJ send GPS info in some formats, and have NO ICON on home screen. And a guy having in his hands a phone like this the first thing he search on google is HOW TO HARD RESET THE DEVICE Without a config file in ROM (on on microdrive I agree, but when you hard reset the ATHENA he asks "do you want to format the microdrive?" Having a stolen one the answer will be always YES!
Moreover is FREE, so I think no problems, asking to author, to put it into the ROM and to modify the registry key for config file to have it on external rom. The problem is.. could we have a PK3.0 with External Rom unocked as default?

I don't recall being asked about reformatting the MicroDrive on hard reset... But having it in external rom would certainly be a viable approach. This would be a nice feature for PK3.0
Has anyone got MobileJustice working??
I can send a message but the GPS feature doesn't work. Anyone??
I tried mobileJustice and it didnt work for me either

WIMP worked for me second time out - had to increase the GPS timeout from 3 mins to 10 (I haven't yet tried any intermediate settings).

The only way to works well it's integrating it in the rom, cause if its stolen the first thing that can do is change the rom
New Version on their website.
V1.2 includes various stealth options.
Wouldn't it be great if we could tell the program to draw the thiefs attention (eg an alarm) and when the person reacts to this alarm have it make a photograph with the front camera, which could be send through mms or e-mail... Then you would know who to look for when you arrive at the GPS coordinates with your baseball bat...

Anyone else have this problem? could have sworn I saw it working in one of the reviews...
In other news should be getting my Jade today woo
did you mean googlemaps tap in manila? googlemaps is present in Manlia.
Just got mine; Map search is there on mine too ( UK ) maybe its an Asia thing
mine doesnt have this tab too..i bought the phone from starhub....i sent an email to HTC to enquire about this, however, they told me to hard reset the device to factory default..i haven't done so, should I try it? a first-time ppc user here..
Mine has this tab. It's a french one.

Yup, hard reset. You will lose all your settings if you don't back them up but it won't hurt anything.
..i tried the hard reset method..but..the tab still didn't appear..sighz..
Asian version don't have googlemap hence the location button is missing afaik.
Yes it says on the website that Asian version won't have this tab,but is there a way to manually install it? I'm planning to buy mine here in Taiwan but i'm still searching how to flash it from chinese OS to english OS. I'm really new to this stuff,
Touch 3G in Taiwan
Hi BH
You should be able to find some sellers that will convert it to English for you.
If you are in/near to Taipei, check "Nova" (Near Taipei Main Station) down on the lowest floor, there is an official HTC shop and in front of them is a non-official one...while the official one told me it was impossible to get an English version here, the store in front of it said...yeah fine, for a small extra charge they could do all that for me I can't remember how much the charge was, but pretty sure it was about 1000 NT or less. I didn't buy one but if I do, I will probably go back to them to get it.
Oh Thanks for the quick reply.Maybe I'll check that.

No need for that.
Get a registry editor, go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D\ and change the LocationWidget value from "0" to "1". Soft reset and you should see the location widget.
Additionally I had to install the google maps software, because it was not present on my device and the location widget didn't actually do anything, so you might need to do that too.
I have the latest rom version, purchased from PCCW in Hong Kong for HK$3100. It has the Map Search tab in Touchflo.

Works fine to add the tab
To install the Google Maps Software :
Go to http://m.google.com on your pda (by using IE)
Go to Map and download the software
EDIT : Install it to the MAIN Memory !
I don't have locationwidget in my register!
I have the UK version...
Anyone a idea?
Have you tried creating it manually?
Its works!
But....when I click on the tab nothing happends
Can someone make it works?
As I said, you need to install the Google Maps application.
Go to http://m.google.com/maps and download it from there
EDIT: I forgot to mention that you have to install it to the main memory, not the storage card (we've been discussing that in another thread)
It works great!
I install it on de SD card en now on my device, that was the solution.
Thanks!
i'm not sure if this is in the right section, but, i'm having problems with the phone and i need someone to send me pictures of the touch with the system settings screen and the phone settings screen. i think i'm missing some things there.
thanks!!
Hi you have to be more specific to allow people to help you
Mention your problems and the settings you want to know about as no one can give you all the settings of a WM running device if your are new to WM try to spend some time on wikipedia
Best of Luck
Well, I'm missing things like Device Information, also, some settings in the "phone settings" are missing. The phone was bought unlocked and it's not getting signal! I can't flash it because the phone doesn't allow me to enter BL mode, I've looked and looked on these forums and basically none of the worked. When I try to get the device info from my pc, everything is blank or "N/A". I have no idea what to do...testpoint?
If your phone is operating and not bricked and you cannot find device information(start/settings/personal/about) or enter the BL to see SPL and IPL (CAMERA BUTTON + reset) and you cannot hard reset this may be a Clone (Fake) device not original HTC one
I can see the About part of it, but not "Device Information". When I go into About, I can see it has an ARM926T OMAP850 Processor and 107.68 for Memory.
Is this right?
My internet caused me to doublepost....................
Oops!!! accor to the processor i doubt ur phone is not a genuine HTC Touch..it must be a chinese clone.
ooh! what's the processor the HTC Touch has?

Open your device, take out the battery.
Check the battery and the whole device, does it have the word 'HTC' or is it something else?
I was wondering. Does anyone know of a way to have the lock device show owner information (the name if nothing else)? I tried doing a search but like 500 different 'lock device' apps came up. The one im using is the one currently built into the energy rom (see sig for link).
Not a critical thing or anything, but a co-worker has the same device, and it would hurt to have my name on it as a 'just in case' element.
Last resort, i guess i could photoshop a background with that info in it, but that's a pain if i ever want to switch backgrounds.
I use S2U2 with the rom in my sig, and I think it has an option to show owner info, and its real easy to skin it to look however you want it to look so even if I'm wrong about the option, you could easily put your info on the wallpaper

Yea, i use to use SU2U as well with the stock rom, but i didnt want to install it again due to "Lock Device" being installed, which would just be redundant.

you can check in the instructions that came with the version you purchased...
on winmo, go to the route summary, tap version box, its in the middle of the screen. maybe its the same on android.
but.. thanks for this post. i didnt think that TomTom was ever going to come to Android.
its the ONLY reason i keep winmo on my phone now. i dont want to give up my investment in the maps i have.
are the maps a differents format though?
be sure to report back here with a full write up.
