Hi all I am just wondering when the Jasjam will be out in Australia? Also would you recommend it? If not what would you recommend? Thanks heaps.
The jasjam is expected to come out in Australia sometime between when hell freezes over and when Telstra gets their act together. Telstra has an exclusive deal to sell the imate jasjam up until xmas or there abouts. Its expected to launch late sept/early october on Telstra.
Additionally Dopod in conjunction with 3 will launch the Dopod 838Pro later this month or early next month, this is a similar device to the jasjam just different rom/bundled software/casing and the dopod is expected to be alot cheaper then the imate, imate are charging more for their variant for some reason.
I would recommend any Hermes device, bar the CHT 9000 and any O2 Asia variants. I found the TyTN very useful, fast, efficient, light weight, and whilst I liked the 'spacier' button layout of the TyTN the M3100 (also same layout as Jasjam and dopod 838Pro) was still all of the above just a little less room for error with the buttons and when your in a hurry.
Thanks heaps for all the info it has really helped!!!!!
One question how would the warranty work if I got one from U.K or USA on E-bay?
Osir1s I take it that you have got a tytn? Ifso where did you get it? If you don't mind my asking how much did you pay for it? Thanks heaps.
Osir1s would it be OK if I added you to my MSN Messenger contacts?
Regardless of whether you purchase a jasjam, tytn, dopod, etc etc since none are currently sold in Australia all of them will carry an international warranty. HTC Warranty is very good as its international and transferrable, i-mate for example can be real pricks with their warranties from time to time, dopod im not sure about etc.
You may also be interested to know if you really want a jasjam expansys newzealand, not AU but the new zealand website can sell the jasjams to Australians however you will pay $1410 for it.
I purchased my TyTN through ebay, but look around there are plenty of stores selling TyTNs, its the dopods, jasjams, trions that are harder to come by. I have no experience with these people but alot of ppl on these boards in another thread recommend www.smart-mobile-gadgets.com or MadMonkeyBoys website whatever that is.
For a TyTN you shouldnt pay more then $1100AU put it that way. obviously as aforementioned jasjams etc will set you back more, but for the TyTN no more then $1100AU, maybe $1120 at absolutely max depending on the exchange rate at the time.
I hope this has been of some help.
Any news on the release date?
it will be released around christmas time. This device is currently tested and configured for telstra 3G wap portal.
That long?
DOPOD is officilally launched as business in Australia in Sydney last week.
both DOPOD 838 pro and DOPD 595 are coming to Australia and will be disrtibuted by 3 Networks and OPTUS. Also, thanks to Brightpoint, these models will be also available in retail chains.
yeah, they tried to implement it into their DB device but fails due to the firmware problem. [ Can not Stream the live video and video on demand ]. However, their appointed partner ( which I can not tell you - I am working for that company ) is working on it and this device is going to deploy sometime next week.
Australian avail..
Good to hear. I also heard a date next week for something related, and think there would be a very big hole if Jasjam isn't part of it.
but, does this mean it will launch feature-incomplete with a promise that "the rest will come real soon now"?

So you have been working on a software solution to stream real media??? or am I reading to much into this?
Because I have a JasJar, and still to date, have been unable to watch any video streams at all.
Would be really intersted to hear what you were working on.....
In the past, Telstra 3G live stream only supports 3GP and RM (Real Media ) since there is no PDA device in their so-called marketing list. However, they decide to bring PDA into the market and support wm9 format.
Problem is, Windows Media Player connects into the media server but fails to extract and pick up the correct video format ( for the optimal & performance purposes ). We found firmware isn't compatible with media stream server. Solution is to let Telstra deal with their supplier instead of putting this job to us.
Not only this device, they also bring new palm PDA devices ( which run WM5 AKU 2.x ) as well as new blackberry.
Sometimes during Christmas, you guys will see bounch of new devices release to market. I think it will be sold around 1100 AUD.

You won't be able to stream at all because Jasjar is not in their 3G DB device list. Only those devices that are in that list will be able to load 3G WAP Portal and stream. There are 2 conditions to stream video content :
1. Your device is in DB device list
2. You are active subscriber ( either Telstra or 3 )
Same to anyone who has problem with 3 Provider. They restricted number of devices that can connect and view any video content from their WAP site.
If you want to view the 3 or Telstra WAP portal, you have to modify the User Profile, UA differences to any devices which are currently supported by 3 or Telstra. I can list some of them ( Sony Ericsson K600i, K610, Motorola V3x, Nokia N70, N80, Samsung Z150, Z400, Z510 and some other devices I can not remember their model No ) .

Thanks for the tip, we (the guys on the universal forum) have worked this out already...
But we've ran into 2 hurdles:
1: Streaming video. It seems purely software, in that we can't find any software capable of playing real media streams compatiable with windows mobile 2005.
We are all able to access the web portal, and get anything we like, just when it comes to streaming, the software isn't working properly.
Any advice?
2: MMS For some reason, regardless of the settings used, we just can not get it to send/recieve. We are able to see the headers, but thats it.
Thanks for any help or information you can provide. We are all very greatful.
To gunigugu
Your problem :
1. Streaming video. It seems purely software, in that we can't find any software capable of playing real media streams compatiable with windows mobile 2005.
It is because the User Profile that you used for HTC Universal or any PDA devices belongs to other device that has different method of handling video stream & method calls. Modified trick is only applied when you want to browse Provider's WAP site. Real Media for PPC has different way of handling method calls ( get content function, trigger media manager of device function, create secure & authenticate user & device & connection function) than Real Media for S60, Symbian.
Soon they put TyTn into their DB list, ( I think 3 will do the same with their PDA devices which are running WM5 ). you can use those's User profile to enjoy streaming content. But for now, I don't think you can.
2. MMS For some reason, regardless of the settings used, we just can not get it to send/recieve. We are able to see the headers, but thats it
I don't know much about MMS because it is handled by other groups.
From my understanding, there are 2 checks on MMS server
1. Check device to see whether it is capable of MMS or not
2. Same network's subscribers.
I have not seen any reason why we can not send MMS, no idea but I can find out more infos about this.
My group is responsible for Content delivery platform and Multimedia services.
Hope it helps

Man, your amazing!
Where the hell have you been, most of us, on the universal thread, have been pulling our hair out, trying to organise this!!!
So would I be right in assuming, that the TyTn will be the first WM2005 built into the database.
Does WM2005 go into more specifics such as model number, i.e. JasJar and TyTn. OR am I to assume, that after they are done putting TyTn into the db list, that my universal, will work perfectly with the portal.
BTW, can I ask, what software have you used, to play the real media streams? As this is an area we've had alot of trouble with in relation to wm2005.
In the past, Telstra had planned to bring Jasjar into AUST market but they were never done it. ( I don't know why - my assumption is because this device is too big and most of mobile user in Australia is only care about size and fashion phone than the phone that has lots of functionalities ).
It was a mistake and in order to correct their mistake and trying to gain PDA market share ( they lost PDA market to 3 for Motorola A1000, Motorola A925, Nokia E61 - All are running Symbian OS with Real Player installed), tyTn and other WM5 devices are tested and ready to be released.
Don't know about the price yet but they bought tytn through I-mate with HTC supported .
Like I said before, Telstra has no intention of bringing Jasjar into this market ( maybe they will change in the future but who knows, they used to bring Nokia 9500 device into Market ) . Because Jasjar and tytn share the same operating system as well as stream media player ( they will be built with AKU 2.x ) therefore, the User Profile's modification will work with Streaming media thing. Still you have to modify your header. ( put Tytn's User profile into Jasjar, it will do the trick )
Telstra will put WM9 into their media server. Nothing secrets, it is a plain Windows Media Player 10. RM can be played through customised RealMedia Player for ppc. That's what we have got in here
Hello all. I did ask this question in the Hermes section but no answers slo I thought I would as in here as it is a networking type problem.....
I have a Maxtor Shared Storage II drive on the wireless network. All the XP PCs can see and access the device no problems.
The Hermes is running official WM6. When I use Resco Explorer to try to map a network drive, it isn't there, but any XP computer that is switched on at the time, is in the list in Resco.
If the I check the properties on the NAS's folders on a XP machine then its reported as a NT server 4.9 drive??
The drive has the feature of a media server on the menu system which as yet I havnt had time to play with so far.
Any help greatfuly appreciated
Cheers
Chris.
not sure about yours but the tests i read about those maxtor nas mybooks require some special software on the pc to access them
if that is the case with yours and they dont have an ppc version
you are out of luck
Yes I do agree there is maxtors software on the PC to access various functions, but before I installed the software I could see the public folders that were already installed on the NAS...!
Chris
It's nothing to do with them being NAS Storage. As far as the network is concerned they are just windows network shares. I'm having the same problem - I can't access shares over my wifi network on my Hermes.
I have a file/web/ssh server and I can easily access it using a browser or with PocketPuTTY and I can ping it with vxutil but I can't connect to the shares even though I can ping the hosts and see the networked devices in Resco and PocketLAN. Total Commander doesn't work either!
I'm sure it's something to do with routes/subnets and have tried setting the proxy options in "settings">"connections">"connections">"advanced">"select networks" and also changing the options for "My network card connects to" in Network Adaptors.
I want to use a "cooked" rom but this seems to be the source of the problem - I've flashed another rom on my Hermes and it connected fine. I'm having the same problem with my HTC Universal and I also had a problem with my Wizard but I managed to fix it by modifying the "connections" (see above!).
I've got the same problem with my NAS (Maxtor Shared Storage II).
BTW, I don't think the Maxtor Connect Manager utility is required , I've connected to the NAS from XP and OS X without the utility running.
My 8525 (WM 6) cannot see the NAS in network neighborhood , even though the IPs are pingable.
The 8525 cannot see the share on my MacBook Pro either.
I have no problem with a share on my Win XP SP2 computer ... it even streams media (divx, MP3 , windows media) to my 8525. Mapped with Resco Pocket Explorer with no problem.
I think the MAC and the MSS II (www.openmss.org) are linux/Samba network based and WM cannot connect. If any linux guru can verify and provide assistance, it would greatly be appreciated.
Wow ! Streaming media from a NAS on the 8525 ... a dream so far ......
I don't think this is a linux problem - the shares I am accessing are on a linux samba server. I can access the shares using different rom versions on my hermes and my universal (just not using the rom I really want to use!). My wizard (WM6) connects to the shares fine!

Thanks h0me5k1n !
Can you share the method or application and version your using to make the share with Samba ?
Is the NAS/Share visible in network neighborhood or is the connect string manually entered ?

When I have used resco to attempt the connection I can see the host PCs in the network neighborhood but cannot see the shares on each host PC (neither windows or linux).
I have always connected using the netbios name - using the ip address has never worked as far as I can remember. I have always used Total Commmander (I only tried other apps because Total Commander wasn't working) and I've always used the latest version.
I've just switched my Hermes to another rom.... K's rom V1.21... and I can browse my network shares again (windows and linux) and the rom is the only difference. It's a nice rom too so I'm gonna leave it for now.
An example of my working setup: I have a computer called "mediacentre" with the IP of 192.168.0.234. I can connect over wifi using Total Commander with the addresses of "\\mediacentre" and "mediacentre" but neither "\\192.168.0.234" nor "192.168.0.234" work!! Exactly the same thing with another rom did not work!!
Maybe this is something to do with the network configuration of the base rom from which the cooked rom is built?
It's definitely not a linux/windows/maxtor problem!

I've just installed Total Commander 2.0 (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm ) a few days ago and haven't gotten around to using it . It's not a very intuitive app when it comes to making network connections. I also noticed that TC has plugins for other files systems (http://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm#filesys).
Did you have to use one of the other plugins or any special protocols on the NAS (i.e. VPN , FTP, etc.) ? - Sorry for the multiple questions in detail , but I'm a linux newbie \ : ) .
If I get the figured out, I'll try to publish a detailed "how-to" since I seen the same question w/o solution on other forums.
Thanks-In-Advance
I find TC very easy to use - especially the virtual 2 window mode!!
To connect I just open the \\Plugins folder, choose LAN and can connect with "_Quick open" or by setting up a "<new server>" with the addresses of "\\mediacentre" or "mediacentre" (as per my example below).
I have not had to use any other plugins from the TC site and my NAS is basically a ubuntu (debian) system with a number of samba shares (which are basically the same as shared folders on windows). The shares on my server are viewable by all on my local network so no password is needed to access them although they are "read only". I have a WinXP desktop too with shared folders and I connect to this in exactly the same way.
No joy ......
Just went thru several attempts using Total Commander to connect to the MSS II and still no connection. Just did a search on the forum for "SAMBA" and it seems there are other folks out there in the same boat.
Some possible factors I can this of are :
- security on the NAS Share
- different flavors on linux used on the shares
- the application on WM used to connect (resco, File Explorer, TC, etc)
- some obscure setting on the Router/Hub /Switch
- version of WM (2003, 5, 6 , )
BTW - after installing TC I lost the connection to my Win XP share which used to work via Resco. (arghhhh!) .
Why is this such black magic that only functions under a full moon?
My head is spinning now !
This link looks hopeful :

More trial and error for now ....
Anybody else care to weigh-in with some advice ?
Kaiser + NAS (Linux + Samba) + L26 Diamond V4 = works!
Solution for those using Kaiser (TyTN II):
I just flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395555 (Kaiser Diamond V4), and my Synology DS-207+ (Linux + samba shares) is visible and accessible from every software (Total Commander, Resco, File Explorer).
Previously I used to flash Dutty's ROMs and original ones - they do not work with samba. I wrote to Dutty - hope he'll find how to fix (I love his ROMs).
Good luck! Now I'm able to watch videos on Kaiser from my NAS via WLAN, I'm happy ;-)

Interesting... As far as I can tell, Total Commander, Resco Explorer, File Explor, and the Network Plugin all call the same password manger in WM6 and that manager does not send the passwords in a form that SAMBA understands.
In theory changing the key at HKLM\Comm\SecurityProviders\NTLM\LmCompatibilityLevel to 2 from 3 should do what I need, and enable the Universal to communicate with my SAMBA server. That it doesn't suggest to me that there is a problem with the LM security provider.
Click to expand...

OK. The correct answer is here:
Change HKLM\Comm\SecurityProviders\NTLM\LmCompatibilityLevel to 1 from 3, not to 2 (ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa922895.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa925018.aspx) as "You can also set the LmCompatibilityLevelServer value to 2 or to 3. Both of these specify that the server will only use NTLM v2. Authentication will fail if the client is not capable of NTLM v2 protocol. For more information, see Authentication Services Registry Settings".
And check to make sure HKLM\Comm\Redir\SmbSignatureMode is set to 0 (not recommended 'cos it may cause problems with windows servers), 1 or 2, but not 3 (ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa921092.aspx).
And you can try to set HKLM\Comm\Redir\AllowedAuthMethods to 3 to see if it makes any difference. To me, 2 works fine.
No need to modify samba configurations if you are running a recent version of samba (3.0.28 right now). Anyway, you can always try to add "use spnego = no" (maybe "client use spnego = no" or "spnego = no" as stated and/or quoted in other posts/web pages, I'm not sure of it.) to see if it makes any difference in your situation/samba version.
If you have admin privledges on the windows/linux machine, you can install orb on it. I've done that to my xp machine at home and now from anywhere on my ppc I can access anything I want from my home machine... it also checks to see what the files are at home and can sort them into categories like music, documents, videos, etc.
I'm not sure if it will work with orb installed on a pc to look over the network to a NAS, but mine looks through usb to an attached drive.
Worth a shot and a very simple solution to the problem.

一个偶然的机会， mr7 在某二手手机卖场发现一台由美国电信运营商 verizon 订制的 XV6800 烧号一体机。由于广州玩 CDMA 烧号机的人不多，商家也不会改，于是抱着碰运气的心态把这台未经改卡的原装机买了回家看能不能改为插卡机。
同为美国电信运营商的 Sprint 公司订制的 XV6800 机身为浅灰色，外观十分有型！而 verizon 订制的 XV6800 外观则显得有点土，机身塑料质感明显！但在按键操作及力度反馈上 mr7 认为 verizon 版本优于 Sprint 版本。机子拿回家后马上刷了中文 ROM ，并出现“白三角”的正常现象，为何说“白三角”是正常现象？很简单， mr7 还没更新PRL和做 QPST 的设置。

}
看看两者机身背面， verizon 版 XV6800 背部的金属屏蔽片已经被商家拆除，估计不会改插卡所以放弃了，而 Sprint 版的 XV6800 则已被改好插卡。很多网友经常问 XV6800 哪个版本好，其实不管 A 版、 S 版、 V 版、 Q 版的 XV6800 ，内部硬件是一样的，都是由 HTC 这个厂家代工的，都有 WIFI 模块。只是表面外壳和 LOGO 不同而已。手机原来的开机 LOGO 、 ROM 都是特意为不同电信运营商定制的，而且需要写码烧号。这些手机拿到中国大陆后，很多商家通过硬件改造，在电路板上加入 UIM 卡座，然后修改 QPST, 使到这款机子可以在国内使用。早期 XV6800 的 ROM 是屏蔽了 GPS 功能的，后来新出的 ROM 解除了屏蔽。
为了方便广州地区的玩家讨论改装操作，可加入广州 CDMA 玩家群了解，以便在广州市内共同研究交流， QQ 群号： 51711332 （请注明是广州地区玩家）。 mr7 的 QQ ： 510844822（请注明） 。
OK ，改插卡前先准备好梅花内六角螺丝批、充值卡或废旧 SIM 卡等塑料硬卡片用于拆机。假如 TF 卡槽内有 TF 记忆卡的话请先拔出。我们只须拆开手机底部外壳即可。
1 ．扭开 XV6800 背面的 4 颗小螺丝。如图方框处。
2
2 ．打开 XV6800 的滑盖，键盘按键朝上。把充值卡小心插入键盘与外壳之间的缝隙，如下图。 XV6800 键盘与外壳之间共有 6 个暗扣连接着，充值卡从顶部开始以顺时针方向慢慢划开键盘与外壳连接的暗扣。划开暗扣后可以轻轻翘起键盘直到外壳全部脱离向下翻开。
3 ．暗扣的位置分别在下面 3 个地方，大家可以参考下面 3 张图片以便拆机。
A. 右侧
B. 顶部
C. 左侧
当外壳卸载后，就是通信部分的主板了。主板上要整改的地方为红蓝两个区域。
A ．红色方框内必须用透明胶布贴好。主要原因是改区域为 XV6800 金属手写插入的地方，电路板上的触点都是外露的，金属笔插入后该处后很容易造成短路，短路后造成手机会不断重启的，因此必须贴上透明胶布以防短路。
B ．蓝色区域则为焊接 UIM 卡座的地方。焊接卡座需要电烙铁，松香等。注意！焊接前先将电烙铁预热，然后拔掉电烙铁的电源插头利用余热来做焊接工作，这样可以防止静电或感应电窜入电路导致元件烧坏。
5 ．准备好改装的材料，包括特制的 UIM 卡座和塑料底板。 XV6800 的 UIM 卡座跟普通的 SIM 或 UIM 卡座很不同， XV6800 卡座卡脚和触点是错位，而普通卡座是一一对应的，不能直接焊在 XV6800 电路板上使用。为了方便大家了解，作了大致示意图。
6 ．除了焊接 UIM 卡座，还要焊接电路板上两处触点，如下图。图中的 A 与 B 两点焊接在一起使RST端口能连接到电路，同样将 C 与 D 两点也焊接在一起使CLK端口能连接到电路。顺便把 UIM 卡座各触点定义也标出来。
7 ．这是焊接好 UIM 卡座后的特写， A 、 B 和 C 、 D 各触点也焊接好了。
8 ．下图是贴上塑料底板并合上外壳后的效果图。基本完成硬件改造。
做完硬件改造后，下一步是用电脑做 QPST 的设置。做 QPST 前请先拔出 UIM 卡和 TF 卡。
首先安装微软的 Activesync 4.5 ，并测试电脑与 XV6800 的连接是否正常。安装 QPST 2.7 BUILD 215 ， 215 是目前最好用的版本。安装驱动 Install_MSI_Sprint 。进入拨打电话界面，按 ##3434 然后拨号或按 ##3424# 进入 DM Router 模式，电脑认出硬件后手动找出驱动路径，当然也可以选用单独的 Modem 驱动。详细方法可参考其他网友的攻略。
进入 QPST 时会提示输入 SPC 码的，用算号器输入 ESN 码就得出 SPC 码。 QPST 设置的项目主要有：
1 ． 1x/HDR Secruity 栏的 R-UIM 项改为 R-UIM Only 即只读 UIM 卡数据。
2 ． M.IP 栏的 Mobile IP 项改为 Simple IP only 。
3 ． gpsOne 栏左边的选项前面全打钩，右边的 PDE IP 项地址为 0.0.0 .0 ， PDE Port 端口项为 0 ， PDE 项选 DBM ， Position 项选 PDE 。
4 ． MMC填460，MNC填03
大概设置就是如此！写入手机即可，然后重启一下手机。
顺便把 PRL 、 RADIO 等刷为最新版本，开机后可显示 EV-DO连接（37号频点） 。接上 CDMA UIM 卡，拨打电话正常！通话优良。
以上图片均可放大查看。本文内容仅供参考，只代表mr7个人实际测试及建议。鉴于本人水平所限，如有不正之处敬请多多指教。
GO AHEAD！ TRY IT…………………
So what exactly is the purpose of adding a sim card to the titan?
Well.. Viewing the pictures, looks great, but reading in chinese it's frustating, specially when I don't understand it... jejejejeje...
Anyway, seems to be a great way to use our Titans as GSM... Or that's what I think is this post to...
Any other language will be okey..
Thanx...
But I don't think the titan has functional GSM hardware/software. I don't think it has anything to do with missing a sim card. I translated the Chinese it kinda makes since in his steps.
Perhaps... I really don't know if this phone has those functionalities, but we can't denied the images... jejeje...
If there's another posts on the web about this, it really will come out soon..
RUIM uses cdma networks with all subscriber info on a sim card. Meaning in china, korea or india (where CDMA networks are used) you could theoretically pick up a prepaid sim and use your titan on a foreign network if you soldered a sim tray on it. (basic way of explaining it) There is another post in here in english if you care to search. Pretty cool stuff!
HERE is the thread from about a year ago or so.
Digital Roaming
Dear mr7mr7
the setting MMC 460，MNC 03 is it operator related ?
if the RUIM card i have is already prgramed which is i get from CDMA operator here in indonesia, do i still need to change the MMC and MNC setting ?
When i do the other setting (Change 1x/HDR to RUIM Only) and inserting my RUIM, my phone turn to digital roam.
is there any other setting needed ??

A chance, mr7 second-hand mobile phone in a store by the United States found a verizon carriers ordered XV6800 No. burning machine. CDMA as a result of playing the Guangzhou No. burning of many people, businesses will not change, luck was with this mentality of Taiwan without the original card to buy a home machine and see if I can read card machine.
The same for the U.S. carrier Sprint Corporation XV6800 customized for the light gray body, appearance is very stylish! Verizon customized XV6800 and it appears that the appearance of a little soil, texture clear plastic body! However, operation and efforts in the feedback button on the verizon version mr7 that version is better than Sprint. Home immediately after the machine brushes the Chinese ROM, and a "white triangle" of a normal phenomenon, so why is "white triangle" is a normal phenomenon? Very simple, mr7 do not update the PRL and QPST settings.
Take a look at the back of the two fuselage, verizon version of the metal shield back XV6800 film business has been dismantled, it is estimated that there will not be given up to card, XV6800 and the Sprint version of the card has been improved. Many friends often ask which version XV6800 good, in fact, no matter A version, S versions, V Edition, Q version of the XV6800, the internal hardware is the same as all the manufacturers by HTC of Taiwan, have WIFI module. LOGO is a superficial shell and different. Mobile phone original boot LOGO, ROM are designed to customize the different carriers, but also burn No. need to write code. To get these phones in mainland China, many business transformation through the hardware, the circuit board to join in the UIM card connector, and then modify QPST, so this machine can be used. XV6800 early screening of the ROM is the GPS function, a new out later lifted the mask ROM.
Guangzhou in order to facilitate conversion of the players to discuss the operation, which may be included in Guangzhou CDMA base to understand players in order to study the exchange of the city of Guangzhou, QQ group number: 51711332 (Please specify player is in Guangzhou). mr7 the QQ: 510844822 (please specify).
OK, change card ready before Plum Hexagon screwdriver, recharge cards or SIM cards used hard plastic card used to拆机. TF card slot if there are TF memory card if you pull out. We need only to open the phone at the bottom of shell.
1. XV6800 turn on the back of the four small screws. Figure Box Office.

2. Slide open the XV6800, keyboard keys up. Insert the card carefully to recharge the keyboard and the gap between the shell, as Fig. XV6800 keyboard with a total of six between the shell buckle connected to the dark, recharge cards from the top clockwise slowly began to draw with the shell to connect the keyboard to open the secret button. Dark gash can hold gently tilt the keyboard down until the case all turned out.
3. Withholding the location of the dark in the following three areas, we can refer to the following three picture拆机.
A. right

When the shell after unloading, that is, the communication part of the motherboard. To reform the motherboard where the two regions for the red and blue.
A. Red box with a transparent adhesive tape must be affixed to good. The main reason is for the XV6800 to the region where the metal insert handwritten, circuit board contacts are exposed, metal pens on the premises after insertion is likely to result after the short circuit, short circuit caused by mobile phones will continue after the restart, it must be affixed transparent adhesive tape to prevent short circuit.
B. Blue region compared with the local welding UIM card connector. Electric iron deck welding needs, such as rosin. Attention! Before the first electric iron welding preheating, electric iron and then unplug the power plug to make use of heat welding, to prevent electrostatic or induction electric circuits lead to components窜入burned.
5. Ready modified materials, including specially designed holder and plastic floor UIM. UIM card connector with the XV6800 ordinary SIM or UIM card connector is very different, XV6800 card deck is the wrong foot and contacts, and general deck is one-to-one and can not directly solder circuit boards used in the XV6800. In order to facilitate understanding, were more or less schematic.
6. UIM card connector in addition to welding, but welding circuit two contacts on the board, as Fig. Figure A and B in two welded together to make RST port can connect to the circuit, the same C and D will be welded together to make two other points which can be connected to the CLK port circuit. Incidentally, the UIM card connector standard definition of the contacts out.
7. This is a good welding features after UIM card connector, A, B and C, D of the contact welding is also good.

8. The chart is pasted on the plastic shell plate after the combined effect of Fig. Complete transformation of the basic hardware.
After the hardware modified, the next step is to do with computer settings QPST. QPST do you pull out before the UIM card and TF card.
First of all installed Microsoft Activesync 4.5, and test computer and connection is the XV6800. Install QPST 2.7 BUILD 215, 215 is the best version. Install the driver Install_MSI_Sprint. Interface into the call, press # # 3434 then dial-up or press # # 3424 # to enter the DM Router mode, the computer recognized the drive hardware manual to find the path, of course, can choose to use a separate drive Modem. Detailed methodology for the other users can refer to the Raiders.
QPST will be prompted to enter the SPC code input and enter the ESN with算号器come SPC code on the code. QPST project settings are:
1. 1x/HDR Secruity column changed to R-UIM of R-UIM Only data that is read-only UIM card.
2. M. IP column replaced by the Mobile IP of Simple IP only.
3. gpsOne options in front of the left column打钩wide right of the PDE IP address 0.0.0 .0, PDE Port for the port of 0, PDE election of DBM, Position of selected PDE.
4. MMC fill 460, MNC fill 03
Set is probably the case! Can be written into the phone, and then click restart phone.
Incidentally, the PRL, RADIO brush and so on for the latest version of the boot can show EV-DO connection (37 frequency points). Access to the CDMA UIM card, make calls to normal! Good call.
The above picture can be enlarged view. This article is for information purposes only personally mr7 represent the actual testing and suggestions. Since I am limited by the level, if you is not correct at the exhibitions.
GO AHEAD! TRY IT ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
does anyone think there is any potential here at all to possibly use the sim card slot to extend the titan/mogul memory.
just trying to think outside the box
SIM cards can store, at most, a few hundred K, and that's ROM space, not RAM. Not even remotely worth thinking about as an expansion.
If you're not planning to use your Titan on an Asian CDMA network that requires a SIM card, this information is completely useless to you.
i beg to differ...this article is from 2006
http://www.pdasnews.com/articles/2118/1/msystems-Announces-Availability-of-High-Capacity-SIM-Cards
get a decent programmer who can remap this as a vfs (virtual file system) and have direct access to the kernel
i know next to nothing in programming...and yes maybe they aren't capable of worthwhile access speeds
or maybe they are...
dont just talk negative...think of the possibilities...the website is solely devoted to not depending on the providers
"if they didn't offer it...its not possible" is a horrible way to think and even be posting on this website
i did find a new program that looks pretty baller
i have a trial copy of it
its called solfs

首先说明一下问题，众所周知，在中国Wifi是官方禁止的！
但是通信巨头们却能手眼通天，公然开发WLAN产品，譬如我要说的原网通（即合并后的中国联通China Unicom）的无线WLAN，其实此产品本是尚未完成的半成品，即通过经过改造的外置WIFI设备，将Wifi信号传递给台式电脑，以供上网...
就这样，我们这里（四川省）就到处架设了需要通过PPPOE提供用户名和密码的Wifi基站，我就是想通过我手上的廉价智能手机（台版多普达C720W，即HTC S620-现已刷成windows mobile ® 6.5 standard CE版本 5.2.21812 内部版本 21812.5.0.50 love series roms 无线版本 4.1.13.31——02.71.90 RIL版本 2.002）自带的WIFI功能，连接Internet... -当然，我拥有合法的用户名和密码
通过在口袋论坛知道这里能人众多，但苦于鸟语不行，所以才发贴求助！
希望高手见贴出手相助

GLOSSARY
Code:
[B]2G[/B]
The second generation of mobile telephony systems uses digital encoding. 2G networks support high bit rate voice, limited data communications and different levels of encryption. 2G networks include GSM, D-AMPS (TDMA) and CDMA. 2G networks can support SMS applications.
2.5G
2.5G extends 2G systems, adding features such as packet-switched connection and enhanced data rates. 2.5G networks include EDGE and GPRS. These networks support WAP, MMS, SMS mobile games, and search and directory.
[B]3G[/B]
The third generation of mobile systems provides high-speed data transmissions of 144Kbps and higher. 3G will support multimedia applications such as full-motion video, video conferencing and Internet access.
[B]4G[/B]
As of the end of 2009 it was consensus that 4G would designate Mobile Network technologies beyond 3G and its extensions "3,5G" (HSPA) , "3,75G" (HSPA+). These would logically include WiMax and LTE. In the beginning of 2011 carriers in the US started to misuse the term, advertising their HSPA networks as 4G press coverage on thisismynext Officially, the term 4G has been defined by the ITU to include LTE-Advanced and WirelessMAN-Advanced (WiMax2), none of witch are deployed anywhere still. GSMA PR
802.1X
As the IEEE standard for access control for wireless and wired LANs, 802.1x provides a means of authenticating and authorizing devices to attach to a LAN port. This standard defines the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), which uses a central authentication server to authenticate each user on the network.
802.11
The IEEE standard for wireless Local Area Networks. It uses three different physical layers, 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g.
802.11a
Operating in the 5 GHz band, 802.11a supports a maximum theoretical data rate of 54 Mbps, but more realistically it will achieve throughput somewhere between 20 Mbps to 25 Mbps in normal traffic conditions. In a typical office environment, its maximum range is 50 meters (150 feet) at the lowest speed, but at higher speed, the range is less than 25 meters (75 feet). 802.11a has four, eight, or more channels, depending on the country. WLAN products based on 802.11a technology are rapidly coming to market in 2003, making them more affordable and widely available.
802.11b
Most WLANs deployed today use 802.11b technology, which operates in the 2.4 GHz band and supports a maximum theoretical data rate of 11 Mbps, with average throughput falling in the 4 Mbps to 6 Mbps range. In a typical office environment, its maximum range is 75 meters (250 feet) at the lowest speed, but at higher speed its range is about 30 meters (100 feet). Bluetooth devices, 2.4 GHz cordless phones and even microwave ovens are sources of interference (and thus create poor performance) for 802.11b networks. Minimizing interference can be difficult because 802.11b uses only three non-overlapping channels. 802.11b products have been shipping in quantity for several years so you will find that products are plentiful and affordable.
802.11e
802.11e provides Quality of Service (QoS) support for LAN applications, which will be critical for delay-sensitive applications such as Voice over Wireless IP (VoWIP). The standard will provide classes of service with managed levels of QoS for data, voice, and video applications.
802.11g
The 802.11 task force is still developing 802.11g, and it is expected to be ratified as a standard by mid-2003. 802.11g offers the throughput of 802.11a with the backward compatibility of 802.11b. 802.11g will operate in the 2.4 GHz band but it will deliver data rates from 6 Mbps to 54 Mbps. Like 802.11b, it will have up to three non-overlapping channels. 802.11g uses orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation as does 802.11a, but, for backward compatibility with 11b, it also supports complementary code keying (CCK) modulation and, as an option for faster link rates, allows packet binary convolutional coding (PBCC) modulation.
Its "backward compatibility" with 802.11b means that when a mobile 802.11b device joins an 802.11g access point, all connections on that access point slow down to 802.11b speeds.
802.11h
This standard is supplementary to the MAC layer to comply with European regulations for 5GHz WLANs. European radio regulations for the 5GHz band require products to have transmission power control (TPC) and dynamic frequency selection (DFS). TPC limits the transmitted power to the minimum needed to reach the furthest user. DFS selects the radio channel at the access point to minimize interference with other systems, particularly radar. Pan-European approval of 802.11h is not expected until the end of 2003.
802.15
This IEEE working group addresses the standard for WPANs. It has four active task groups.
802.15.1 had the job of delivering the standard for low-speed, low-cost WPANs and is based on the Bluetooth spec.
The 802.15.2 task group is developing the recommended practices on how 802.11 WLANs and 802.15 WPANs can co-exist in the 2.4 GHz band. It is mainly working on the interference problem between Bluetooth and 802.11.
The 802.15.3 task group is delivering a standard for higher speed WPANs from 10 Mbps to 55 Mbps at distances less than 10 meters.
The 802.15.4 task group is preparing a standard for simple, low-cost, low-speed WPANs. Data ranges from 2 Kbps to 200 Kbps and uses DSSS modulation in the 2.4 GHz and 915 MHz ranges.
.apk or APK's
An .apk file extension denotes an Android Package (APK) file, an .apk file can be opened and inspected using common archive tools
.tar
Similar to a zip file, a tar file archives multiple files into one file
.tgz
TGZ files are commonly used as install packages for Slackware Linux.
ActiveSync
This program by Microsoft is what we all use to connect to our computers at work or at home. It allows contacts, tasks, emails and Calendar events to be synchronised with Outlook as well as such things as media and favorites. In Windows Vista this has been replaced by the Windows Mobile Device Center. In addition ActiveSync allows browsing of the device in Windows Explorer and programs can be installed via an 'InstallShield' type package installer. AES - Advanced Encryption Standard.
Security issues are a major concern for wireless LANs. AES is the U.S. government's next-generation cryptography algorithm, which will replace DES and 3DES.
AKU
Adaptation Kit Update - Starting with Windows Mobile 5 Microsoft began a policy of updates similar to that of the desktop windows. Rather the replacing the whole OS some functionality may be added. For example AKU 2.0 introduced push mail. These updates are distributed through the OEMs and are given to the consumer in form of ROM updates. Note that OEM may choose not to create an update with the latest AKU for their devices. Getting an AKU for your phone is like getting the SP2 (Service Pack 2) for your Windows Xp.
AP - Access Point.
Wireless devices, such as laptops or PDAs, connect to a wired LAN via an AP, which is a hardware device or a computer's software that acts as a communication hub. APs provide heightened wireless security and extend the physical range of a wireless LAN.
Application Unlock
Most Windows Mobile phones only allow you to load applications that have an acceptable digital signature. If you try to edit the registry or load an application it will give you an error. Application Unlocking removes this barrier and allows you to install any application or edit the registry to your liking.
Bluetooth
A wireless technology developed by Ericsson, Intel, Nokia and Toshiba that specifies how mobile phones, computers and PDAs interconnect with each other, with computers, and with office or home phones. The technology enables data connections between electronic devices in the 2.4 GHz range. Bluetooth would replace cable or infrared connections for such devices.
Bootloader
The bootloader is the first thing to load once you turn on the device, this does the job of booting up the device hardware and loading various items into memory before the ROM starts in the device. The bootloader is also responsible for enabling the flashing of new ROMs and other components such as the Radio and the Ext_ROM. Two modified bootloaders for the Hermes are HardSPL and SSPL.
To enter the bootloader, press and hold the OK and POWER buttons while inserting the stylus into the reset hole on the bottom of the Hermes.
BREW - Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless
Developed by Qualcomm, BREW is an open source application development platform for wireless devices. BREW developers can create portable applications that work on any CDMA handset. Applications include SMS, e-mail, location positioning, games and Internet radio.
When first introduced, BREW was solely for CDMA handsets. BREW has since been enabled for GSM handsets and expects to add TDMA handsets. BREW and J2ME are competing head-to-head for the wireless application development market.
CDMA - Code Division Multiple Access
A digital wireless technology that uses a spread spectrum technique to scatter a radio signal across a wide range of frequencies. CDMA is a 2G technology. WCDMA, a 3G technology, is based on CDMA.
CDMA has multiple variants, including CDMA 1X, cdma2000, CDMA2000 1X, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO and cdmaOne.
CID
The CID (Carrier ID) of the device is a setting which determines which carrier ROMs should be allowed to run on the device. All bootloaders (apart from HardSPL and SSPL) will only allow a ROM with the correct CID to be flashed onto the device. A device which has been CID unlocked will have SuperCID which allows ANY ROM to be loaded onto the device, SuperCID also unlocks the Ext_ROM and allows it to be mounted.
CID Unlock
Load any carrier ROM (in any language) on the device.
CLDC - Connected Limited Device Configuration
CLDC outlines the basic set of libraries and Java virtual machine features that must be present in each implementation of a J2ME environment.
Cooked
Refers to ROMs which have been modified and optimised by users to offer better performance than a carrier ROM
CustomRUU
CustomRUU is an RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) which has support for ALL SPL versions including HardSPL and SSPL.
Dalvik (cache)
Dalvik cache is a program cache area for the program dalvik. Dalvik is a java based virtual machine that is the bases for running your programs (the ones that have the .apk extension). In order to make access times faster (because there's not JIT (just in time) compiler installed by default), the dalvik-cache is the result of dalvik doing a optimization of the running program.
De-Odex
Android uses a a java based virtual machine as the bases for running programs. This virtual machine is called Dalvik. A .dex file contains the cache used by the Dalvik VM (called Dalvik-cache) for a program and is stored inside the .apk. A .odex file is an optimized version of the .dex file which gets stored next to the .apk as opposed to inside the .apk. This process is done by default to system apps. Deodexing is the process of converting the .odex files back into .dex to be stored inside the .apk so that things can be more easily modified. So a deodexed rom is one that has been through the deodexing process. Deodex can just as easily be called Unodex or any other pre-fix you wish to use.
EDGE - Enhanced Data GSM Environment
A 2.5G technology that enhances GSM. EDGE increases transmission speeds on GSM networks and enables the transmission of large amounts of data at 384Kbps. With EDGE, mobile operators can deliver multimedia and other broadband applications to mobile phones.
EPOC
EPOC is an operating system developed by Symbian for small, portable computer-telephones with wireless access to phone and other information services. EPOC is based on an earlier operating system from Psion, the first major manufacturer of personal digital assistants (PDAs). The term is no longer in use and is now referred to as Symbian OS.
Ext_ROM or ExtROM
The Ext_ROM (or Extended Rom) is a dedicated part of the ROM memory that is (by default) hidden to the user. This area typically includes cab files that are loaded upon Hard Reset. Also, if the author of a ROM wishes, the flashing process can preserve the Ext_Rom. This space is frequently used by carriers, or others creating ROMs, to store cabs that load settings onto the phone.
Firmware
This is a piece of software that is stored in a device to make it function. It is, unlike ordinary software, usually semi-permanent and resides in a non-volatile storage area which is unaffected by "hard resetting" a device. The term usually refers to low-level code that controls individual hardware components such as a radio rom.
Flash
Term meaning to write something (usually a ROM image) to a non-volatile chip. The term originates from original chip writers (EPROM blowers) which used to write to a chip by fusing tiny areas in the chip making individual links either short circuit or open circuit.
GPRS - General Packet Radio Service
GPRS is a radio technology for GSM networks that adds packet-switching protocols. As a 2.5G technology, GPRS enables high-speed wireless Internet and other data communications. GPRS networks can deliver SMS, MMS, email, games and WAP applications.
GPS
This stands for Global Positioning System. It is technology whereby your device communicates with satellites in orbit around the planet to determine your location within an error margin of a few meters.
GSM - Global System for Mobile communications
GSM, a 2G technology, is the de facto European standard for digital cellular telephone service, and it is also available in the Americas. GSM is the most widely used of the three digital wireless telephone technologies (TDMA, GSM and CDMA), and it supports voice, data, text messaging and cross-border roaming. The SIM (Subscriber Identification Module), a removable plastic card that contains a users data, is an essential element in a GSM network.
GSM operates in multiple frequency bands, GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900. When GSM is working on a radio frequency of 1800 MHz, it is sometimes referred to as DCS 1800, GSM1800 or PCN.
H.323
H.323 is the standard for interoperability in audio, video, and data transmissions, as well as Internet phone and Voice over IP. The standard addresses call control and management for point-to-point and multipoint conferences, as well as gateway administration of media traffic, bandwidth, and user participation.
HardSPL
This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your HTC based device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing.
Hard Reset
Similar to a soft reset, by performing a hard reset you completely wipe your device and restore it to the position it was in when you first turned the device on after it was purchased or after a new ROM is flashed.
HDML - Handheld Device Markup Language
Handheld Device Markup Language is used to format content for Web-enabled mobile phones. HDML allows Internet access from wireless devices and is derived from HTML. Openwave created this proprietary language, and it can only be viewed on mobile phones that use Openwave browsers.
HDML was created before a WAP standard was defined. It uses Openwave's Handheld Device Transport Protocol (HDTP) instead of WAP. HDTP - Handheld Device Transport Protocol.
This protocol is optimized for HDML. It presents the HDML to the HDML interpreter in an appropriate format.
Heimdall
is a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy S device
IDEN
A specialized mobile radio network technology that combines two-way radio, telephone, text messaging and data transmission into one network.
IPL
Initial program load - usually paired with Secondary Program Load (SPL), is the boot loader of your phone, much like the BIOS is the boot loader for your PC. Note: IPL/SPL are highly hardware dependent, flashing the wrong IPL/SPL is much more serious than a flashing the wrong ROM. It may be noted that, sometimes a ROM package also contains the IPL/SPL which will be flashed into your phone. Hence be extra careful what you are flashing.
J2ME - Java 2 Micro Edition.
Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) is the edition of the Java platform that is targeted at small, standalone or connectable consumer and embedded devices, such as cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). The J2ME technology consists of a virtual machine and a set of APIs suitable for tailored runtime environments for these devices. The J2ME technology has two primary kinds of components--configurations and profiles.
Java
Industry standard object-oriented language and virtual machine, invented by Sun Microsystems and formally released in 1996. Some phones support downloading of Java applications over the WAP connection. Sun's Java specifications include many Java APIs and platforms, including the JavaPhone API and PersonalJava platform.
Kang
The process of creating a code based of someone else's code or reapplying code that someone else created into your own code (e.g. git cherry-pick)
Kernel
The central or core software component of most operating systems. Its responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components) and can provide the lowest-level abstraction layer for resources (especially memory, processors, and I/O devices).
Messaging
SMS (Short Message Service) is a feature available with some wireless phones that allows users to send and/or receive short alphanumeric messages.
Picture Messaging allows users to send and receive picture messages along with text. Users can choose from several preset and/or received pictures stored in their phones. Some phones also contain a picture editor.
Chat Messaging lets users "talk" using SMS messages.
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) is a new standard that is being defined for use in advanced wireless terminals. The service allows for non-real-time transmission of various kinds of multimedia content, such as images, audio, and video clips.
MexE - Mobile Station Application Execution Environment.
Mobile Station Application Execution Environment is a framework to ensure a predictable environment for third-party applications in GSM or UMTS handsets. MExE does this by defining different technology requirements called "classmarks." MExE classmark 1 is based on WAP, classmark 2 on PersonalJava and JavaPhone, and classmark 3 on J2ME CLDC and MIDP. Other classmarks may be defined in the future. MExE specifies additional requirements for all classmarks, for instance a security environment, capability and content negotiation, a user profile, user interface personalization, management of services and virtual home environment. A handset can support multiple classmarks.
Microbrowser
Also called a mini-browser. Software built into a wireless device that allows users to access and display specially formatted Internet content, such as stock reports, news, and sports scores using a handset device.
Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
Set of Java APIs that is generally implemented on the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC). It provides a basic J2ME application runtime environment targeted at mobile information devices, such as mobile phones and two-way pagers. The MIDP specification addresses issues such as user interface, persistent storage, networking, and application model.
Nandroid or Nandroid Backup:
A file typically created in the custom recovery program, such as 4EXT Recovery, that is a carbon copy of whatever state your phone is in. The file is typically stored on the SD card for later use in case something should go wrong in a ROM or Update, or a Boot Loop occurs
.NET Compact Framework
The .NET Compact framework is a smaller version of the .NET Common Language Runtime, optimized for the deployment of mobile applications running on resource-constrained devices such as PDAs. .NET CF supports only devices running Microsoft operating systems-specifically, Windows CE 3.0 (used in Pocket PC 2000 and Pocket PC 2002 platforms).
OBEX - Object Exchange
Object Exchange is a set of protocols allowing objects such as vCard contact information and vCalendar schedule entries to be exchanged using either IrDA or Bluetooth. Symbian OS implements IrDA for exchange of vCards, for example between a Nokia 9210 Communicator and an Ericsson R380 Smartphone, and vCalendar.
OS
Operating System - the platform software for your phone, much like Windows 7 for your PC. Upgrading the OS is like, in PC terms upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7.
OC - OverClocking
Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer
PAN - Personal Area Network
Allows devices to work together and share information and services. Using technologies such as Bluetooth, Personal Area Networks can be created in public places, in the home, in the office, in a car. This network enables everyday devices to communicate wirelessly. For example, a PAN allows users the ability to wirelessly synchronize with a desktop device to access e-mail or the Internet.
Protocol
Similar to `Radio`. Both terms refer to the radio protocol stack, which is the software which handles communications with the mobile network.
QoS - Quality of Service
Quality of Service is a measure of network performance that reflects the network's transmission quality and service availability. QoS can come in the form of traffic policy in which the transmission rates are limited, thereby guaranteeing a certain amount of bandwidth will be available to applications. Or QoS may take the form of traffic shaping, which are techniques to reserve bandwidth for applications but not guarantee its availability.
Radio
The radio stack is responsible for the phone functionality of the device. This includes GPRS, GSM, UMTS, and GPS operations. The version you use depends on who your carrier is as users have reported versions working better on one carrier than the other.
ROM - Read Only Memory
The ROM holds the Operating system and other components such as the bluetooth and wifi stacks. The ROM is accompanied by the Radio, Ext_ROM, SPL and IPL. Carriers such as T-mobile or Vodaphone taylor the ROM to their specifications and version numbers do not carry the same meaning across different carriers. IF the carrier you use supports the device well they will usually release regular ROM updates.
Root
Common word associated with giving a user "super user" access to their phones programming and other various asspects that would normaly not be possible.
RTM
Release to manufacturing or Ready to market.
RUU
The RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) is the program which runs on the pc when a new ROM is flashed.
Sense
HTC Sense is a user interface, based on the TouchFlo 3D user interface, developed by HTC for mobile devices running Android and Windows Mobile. HTC Sense is a “design experience, an architecture that is all about how people use the device, making their content personal to how they use the device.” However, HTC has confused the issue by calling HTC Sense a user interface in press releases about the launch of the HTC Hero in India. Announced June 24, 2009, the first phone running Android to feature HTC Sense was the HTC Hero, and the first Windows Phone to feature HTC Sense (an updated TouchFlo) was the HTC HD2, announced October 6, 2009.
SIM - Subscriber Identity Module
Cellular systems using GSM technology employ SIM modules to store user provisioning information. Non-volitale storage for contact information is also available on these modules. This is also commonly used in the form `SIM unlock`. Some phones are locked to the specific telco from which you purchase your phone, eg you can't use a locked O2 phone using a Vodaphone SIM/smart card. To use SIM card from other telco, you need to SIM unlock your phone. Note: In general, the phrase 'unlock your phone' usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock.
SIM Unlock
Use any carrier's SIM in the device.
SIP - Session Initiation Protocol
SIP is the real-time communication protocol for Voice over IP (VoIP), and it has been expanded to support video and instant-messaging applications. SIP performs basic call-control tasks, such as session set up and tear down and signaling for features such as hold, caller ID and call transferring. Its functions are similar to Signaling System 7 (SS7) in standard telephony and H.323 or Media Gateway Control Protocol in IP telephony.
With SIP, most of the intelligence for call setup and features resides on the SIP device or user agent, such as an IP phone or a PC with voice or instant-messaging software. In contrast, traditional telephony or H.323-based telephony uses a model of intelligent, centralized phone switches with dumb phones.
SOAP - Simple Object Access Protocol
SOAP is a way for a program running in one kind of operating system to communicate with a program in the same or another kind of an operating system using HTTP and XML.
Soft Reset
Soft resetting the device will lose all the data currently in RAM and any unsaved information, much like pressing the reset button on your pc. A soft reset is the first thing to try if your device has stopped responding.
SPL
Secondary Program Loader. Refer to `IPL` or `Bootloader` for further information.
SU
"Super user", or root permissions
SuperCID
By CID unlocking your device the value of the CID is changed to 'SuperCID'. This allows the flashing of ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier and also unlocks the read/write capability of the Ext_ROM.
UMTS - Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
The 3G mobile telephone standard in Europe, standardized by ETSI. It supports a theoretical data throughput of up to 2 Mbps. Initial trials began in 2001, and it should be rolled out in most of the world by 2005.
UV - UnderVolting
Undervolting is the process of lowering the voltage supplied to the processor in order to achieve lower temperatures and/or saving battery
VoIP - Voice Over IP
VoIP is a set of technologies that enables voice to be sent over a packet network. While few corporations use VoIP today, its usage for messaging is expected to explode in the coming two years.
Users can communicate using VoIP as easily as they do with today's PBXes and public phone network. By leveraging the existing data network, companies can save significant amounts of money by using VoIP for toll-bypass, which is particularly important for multinational corporations. VoIP will also speed the adoption of unified messaging by transmitting voice, fax and e-mail messages. VoIP is also known as IP telephony.
Over the next several years, companies will deploy VoIP in conjunction with 802.11 wireless LANs, enabling workers to have WLAN-based mobile phones when in the office.
VoWIP - Voice over Wireless IP
Combining VoIP with 802.11 wireless LANs to create a wireless telephone system for offices is an emerging market segment. VoWIP enables businesses to leverage their wireless LANs to add voice communications, enabling companies to deploy and manage voice and data over a single wireless backbone.
From a network perspective, VoWIP applications require some reservation of bandwidth to support the real-time nature of voice. Proprietary standards like Spectralink Voice Priority (SVP) are today's solution; however, the IEEE is developing the 802.11e standard for quality of service as a long-term solution.

Kernel: "abbreviations"
A kernel is a layer of code that allows the OS and applications to interface with your phone's hardware. The degree in which you can access your phone's hardware features depends on the quality of code in the kernel. The homebrew (rooting) community for HTC has made several kernel code improvements that give us additional features from our hardware that the stock kernel does not. When you flash a custom ROM, you automatically get a kernel. But you can also flash a standalone kernel on top of the existing one, effectively overwriting it.
A quick and brief overview of some kernel "abbreviations" I've found ..
OC 1.6 - Over Clock max 1,6GHz
OC+1.9 - Over Clock max 1,9GHz
2WCR - Two Way Call Recording support - now you can record incoming and outgoing calls (takes the audio direct from the chipset line in/out)
NCR - No Call Recording support
BFS - Brain **** Scheduler is a task scheduler - major performance increase over stock CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) -> is not recommended for ROM with Sense
VIO - V(r) Input/Output scheduler - controls data input and output (memory card, disk, etc..) - stock kernel has CFQ
SLQB - a low level memory allocator/manager
MIUI - kernel for MIUI ROM
CFS - Completely Fair Scheduler
CIFS - Common Internet File System (is a virtual file system for Linux to allow access to servers and storage appliances compliant with the SNIA CIFS Specification)
TUN - VPN support
VR - I/O scheduler (better than NOOP)
NOOP - The NOOP scheduler is the simplest I/O scheduler for the Linux kernel.
VDD - Voltage Drain Drain (refers to the positive operating voltage of a field effect semiconductor device.)
NLS - National Language Support
Governors:
CPU governors control exactly how the CPU scales between your "max" and "min" set frequencies.
- ondemand -> Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels.
When the CPU load reaches a certain point, ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.
- conservative -> Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand.
Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery.
- performance -> Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times.
This is a bit more efficient than simply setting "max" and "min" to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for the CPU load. This governor is recommended for stable benchmarking.
- powersave -> Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "min" set value at all times.
- userspace -> This lets programs that runs on the OS decide the CPU frequency.
- interactive -> The 'interactive' governor has a different approach. Instead of sampling the cpu at a specified rate, the governor will scale the cpu frequency up when coming out of idle.
When the cpu comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire within 1-2 ticks. If the cpu is 100% busy from exiting idle to when the timer fires then we assume the cpu is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.
If the cpu was not 100% busy, then the governor evaluates the cpu load over the last 'min_sample_rate' (default 50000 uS) to determine the cpu speed to ramp down to.
- smartass -> Is an improved version of interactive governor (Best explanation i've found paraphrases to: based on interactive, but better.)
(smartass is a "double" governor (near interactive - awake mode, near conservative (but not the same) - sleep mode), so when you use it in sleep mode, actually you use only a "half" of it.
- smoothass -> (improved smartass)
- brazilianwax -> Very agresive version of smartass
- interactiveX -> Tweaked Interactive governor by Imoseyon by adding more features like suspend/wake profile
- ondemandX -> Tweaked and ported from 2.6.38 base Ondemand governor by Imoseyon by adding more features like suspend/wake profile
It's got its own sleep profile built in, so it doesn't play well with the OC daemon ..!
- smartassV2 -> smartassV2 is generally based on the implementation of interactive with some major changes and the addition of a built in sleep profile (behaves a bit differently when screen is off vs. on).
The smartassV2 improves the very naive scheme which the first smartass had.
- lagfree -> lag free, but not that battery friendly as ondemand
Note: as far as I could find it, smartass2 = smoothass. Original it was called smartass2, but the name has been changed into smoothass.
* wake_min_freq = setting -> minimal frequency for device while it's awake
* wake_max_freq = setting -> maximal frequency for device while it's awake
* sleep_min_freq = setting -> minimal frequency for device while it's sleeping
* sleep_max_freq = setting -> maximal frequency for device while it's sleeping
* wake_governor = governor for device while it's awake
* sleep_governor = governor for device while it's sleeping
Radio: Preferred Network types and info
GSM => GSM(2G), GPRS(2.5G), EDGE(2.75G), UMTS(3G), WCDMA(3G), HSDPA(3.5G/3G+) HSUPA(3.75G) {Cell Carrier examples: AT&T and T-Mobile}

Preferred Network types:
WCDMA preferred - Automatically switches between G/E/3G/H based on the best/strongest signal available and is supported by all providers.
Has high battery usage since it constantly scans the network for the strongest signal to switch.
GSM only - Only uses G/E and never switches to 3G/H. Should have minimal battery usage.
(there is a problem with GSM only on some older networks... so if data is used, you can miss calls, thus GSM auto (PRL) is the safest setting)
WCDMA only - The GSM phone is capable of using only 3G data communication. When the 3G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
Only uses HSDPA and will not switch to G/E/3G even if the HSPDA signal is too low. Use this only if you use your phone in a area with good coverage. Should have moderate battery usage.
GSM auto (PRL) - Automatically switches between G/E/3G/H based on the PRL (Preferred Roaming List) for a provider on your phone.
Not supported by all providers and may not be supported in certain regions. Should have moderate battery usage since it uses a predefined list to switch.
CDMA auto (PRL) - The CDMA phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 2G is favored more.
CDMA only - The CDMA phone is capable of using only 2G data communication. When the 2G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
EvDo only - The CDMA phone is capable of using only 3G data communication. When the 3G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) - Some phones are equipped with both GSM and CDMA capabilities. This setting appears to just have the phone attempt to stay connected to the data communication type that works the best.
Unknown - If none of the above fit or the phone is acting weird as far as connecting to the carrier, you will see your preferred network type is set to this
General NOTE:
If not known how to get a preferred network type, dial *#*#4636#*#* , this brings you in the "Testing" menu, select "Phone information" and scroll down to "Set preferred network type: "
Always be careful with switching to "PRL" as device issues might occur if "PRL" is not supported by your network provider !!

- Click update...
Android Partitions:
Android uses several partitions to organize files and folders on the device. Each of these partitions has a distinct role in the functionality of the device.
Standard internal memory partitions on Android phones and tablets:
/boot
/system
/recovery
/data
/cache
/misc
Hardware specific partitions:
(They are tied to the hardware of the phone, but the kernel may have code allowing Android to interact with said hardware.)
/radio
/wimax
SD card partitions:
/sdcard
/sd-ext
Note that only /sdcard is found in all Android devices and the rest are present only in select devices.
Purpose and contents of each of these partitions:
/boot
This is the partition that enables the phone to boot, as the name suggests. It includes the bootloader and the kernel. Without this partition, the device will simply not be able to boot.
Wiping this partition from recovery should only be done if absolutely required and once done, the device must NOT be rebooted before installing a new one, which can be done by installing a ROM that includes a /boot partition.
/system
This partition basically contains the entire operating system, other than the kernel and the bootloader. This includes the Android user interface as well as all the system applications that come pre-installed on the device. (Sense, boot animation, busybox, etc)
Wiping this partition will remove Android from the device without rendering it unbootable, and you will still be able to put the phone into recovery or bootloader mode to install a new ROM.
/recovery
The recovery partition can be considered as an alternative boot partition that lets you boot the device into a recovery console for performing advanced recovery and maintenance operations on it.
/data
Also called userdata, the data partition contains the user’s data – this is where your contacts, messages, settings and apps that you have installed go. Wiping this partition essentially performs a factory reset on your device, restoring it to the way it was when you first booted it, or the way it was after the last official or custom ROM installation. When you perform a wipe data/factory reset from recovery, it is this partition that you are wiping.
/cache
This is the partition where Android stores frequently accessed data and app components. Wiping the cache doesn’t effect your personal data but simply gets rid of the existing data there, which gets automatically rebuilt as you continue using the device.
/misc
This partition contains miscellaneous system settings in form of on/off switches. These settings may include CID (Carrier or Region ID), USB configuration and certain hardware settings etc. This is an important partition and if it is corrupt or missing, several of the device’s features will will not function normally.
/radio
The phone's radio firmware, controls cellular, data, GPS, bluetooth.
/wimax
Firmware for Sprint's flavor of 4G, WiMax.
/sdcard
This is not a partition on the internal memory of the device but rather the SD card. In terms of usage, this is your storage space to use as you see fit, to store your media, documents, ROMs etc. on it. Wiping it is perfectly safe as long as you backup all the data you require from it, to your computer first. Though several user-installed apps save their data and settings on the SD card and wiping this partition will make you lose all that data.
On devices with both an internal and an external SD card – devices like the Samsung Galaxy S and several tablets – the /sdcard partition is always used to refer to the internal SD card. For the external SD card – if present – an alternative partition is used, which differs from device to device. In case of Samsung Galaxy S series devices, it is /sdcard/sd while in many other devices, it is /sdcard2. Unlike /sdcard, no system or app data whatsoever is stored automatically on this external SD card and everything present on it has been added there by the user. You can safely wipe it after backing up any data from it that you need to save.
/sd-ext
This is not a standard Android partition. It is basically an additional partition on your SD card that acts as the /data partition when used with certain ROMs that have special features called APP2SD+ or data2ext enabled. It is especially useful on devices with little internal memory allotted to the /data partition. Thus, users who want to install more programs than the internal memory allows can make this partition and use it with a custom ROM that supports this feature, to get additional storage for installing their apps. Wiping this partition is essentially the same as wiping the /data partition – you lose your contacts, SMS, market apps and settings.

Google IO's "Android: Anatomy and Physiology" .pdf
CID: Carrier ID (+ some codes)
CID lock (aka vendor lock): Carrier Id - put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them. Commonly used in the form `CID-Unlocking`. If you purchase your phone (example) from Vodafone (Vodafone is the ‘carrier’), your phone will only accept Vodafone ROMs (the carrier’s ROMs). If you want to flash ROMs from other carrier, you’ll need to CID-unlock your phone, so that your phone will accept other ROMs. All bootloaders (apart from HardSPL and SSPL) will only allow a ROM with the correct CID to be flashed onto the device. A device which has been CID unlocked will have ‘SuperCID’ which allows ANY ROM to be loaded onto the device, SuperCID also unlocks the Ext_ROM and allows it to be mounted. Note: In general, the phrase ‘unlock your phone’ usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock.
Code:
