Hello everyone,
yes i am a new user and subscriber. i purchased the wing about a month ago and so far i like it, but there are some things that i need to address. first, there is a memory problem that from what i have read, is common. i have a 2Gig microSD and most of my videos are on there. i am using TCMP to play movies. i was wondering what to use to get the best speed and usability out of my wing. what is safe to delete to make this thing race. again, i am just getting into the terminology (kitchens, cookbooks etc.), so please bear with me. a quicky, how do i get to the registry? and does the iphone theme really work good for this phone?
thanks everyone for any help

I suggest a custom rom. The T-mobile stock rom is not very good. I'm currently using Open Touch 4.0 by TTRAN and im loving it!
I'm a new Wing user also. I've had mine for a few days and i'm absolutely clueless when it comes to the rom's and making your phone look completely different. I read a little, but to someone who doesn't know all that lingo.. it's like a foreign language somewhat.. lol. Not that bad, but you know what I mean. I'm sure i'll figure it out eventually, but as of now? I'm clueless. I was told I need to HARD SPL my phone or something and I have no idea what that means or how to do it, lol. I downloaded a few things and got them to work though. But like I said, that's it.
Follow instructions. I understand people don't want to potentially "break" their phone ... but this stuff is TOO easy. Don't be scared of it.

Yeah. Well I was gonna ask you for some help (you seem to like helping people and you seem to know what you're talking about), but I can imagine how many people do that. I know how it is to be asked how to do stuff when it's very easy to begin with. I've been an admin on online games and stuff, so that part I understand. There just seems to be so many things you can do to this phone and to most people, they probably have no idea where to begin.
I was able to download a few cab's and get them to work, which was cool. I have my Wing overclocked right now at 247 I believe. Then I have a few other nice things. I use the Palringo for AIM and that's nice. I can't wait to change the overall look though. I'm not just confused on how to do it in general, but i'm also wondering whether or not you're supposed to use certain .cab's with certain rom's and all that. Ya know?

Find out which rom your interested in using and you will usually find a faq and instructions on how to flash the rom on the first post. I use Open Touch and followed the instructions to the T on my first flash and had no problems. Like Duprade said it really isnt that hard. Dont let the big bold red messages scare you. The cooks are just covering their behinds just in case you miss an instruction and brick your phone.
islinx, whats overclock? you are in the same boat as i am (glad to have you). i have also installed some roms, but i am ready for the big facelift now. i will do some searching and try to find a cool & simple look. i ran across a "show your today screen" post, but i lost it. they had some really really nice ones. i'll check back later. thanks for all the posts.

Check the thread with all the .cab files and you'll find the download to overclock your phone.

Look up battery status to find what your looking for.
I will be home from my trip to MIAMI tomorrow ... so who ever needs help or questions answered, just catch me online and IM me and i'll give you a hand.
Doesn't matter anymore, lol. I deleted everything off the phone, put the plastic back on and i'm sending it back today. As much as I LOVED the phone, i'm not gonna keep it and feel like I got ripped off. I used a promotional code when I got the phone. That was the reason I was getting the phone at this point in time to begin with. If I wanted to pay the normal $300 for the phone + activation, I would of went to the store and got it THAT day. But I called over the phone with a promotional code to get the Wing for $100 after $50 rebate, free activation and a free bluetooth headset or car charger. The customer service rep. told me the promotional code was taken and I was all set. I'd get my phone within 4 days. I did get it 4 days later and yesterday I called them back just to make sure the promotional code took effect and I was getting some money back.
Long story short, I must of got transferred like 7 times on the phone and I was on it for about an hour. Nobody knew what to say and I had to explain my situation each time. The customer service lady basically lied to me because the promotional code all of a sudden isn't a working one. I've seen other people online use the same code and it worked for them. Recently too. Big surprise there. If I wasn't saving money for a new car in April, I would have kept the phone. But a couple hundred dollars makes a huge difference.
Thanks for your help anyway though.

It sounds like the bearings in the fan are struggling.
I think you need to open the unit up, and either replace the fan, or attempt to clean and lubricate it.

RAM 2 Gb is a great upgrade for SHIFT
Hi guys,
it is now a long time we use the HTC SHIFT.
Did you know there is an upgrade possible for the RAM ?
This make faster response and very smooth computer.
You can diassembly the computer and change the Micro DIMM.
Let me know if interested, i still have one brand new RAM available.
That's all folks ! Thanks to any ROM maker, it is great for geeks :good:

It is well known how Shift RAM can be upgraded.
The posted link gives me no idea for new solutions.
Could you please post a short summary HERE to give further readers
the possibility to see what it's about, even if Link should be dead?
OR do you just aim to sell some microDimm?
If so- which capacity and price?

The micro DIMM is 2 Gb and fits ok with SHIFT.
It cost around 117 or 189 euro on ebay. I can sell it 99 euro.
May be i can get several but one is for sure available. RAM prices are raising-up actually !
exemple here
http://www.ebay.fr/itm/2GB-RAM-Micr...-HTC-SHIFT-X9500-Micro-DIMM-NEW-/120814611202
http://www.ebay.fr/itm/2GB-DDR2-533...erComponents_MemoryRAM_JN&hash=item58a52f7a58
You're d**n right! Up till last week you could get em on eBay for ~70,-Euro shipping included, and over night prices rose to the amount you've posted.
I was going to get on here and let everyone know that there "is" an x9500 selling on Amazon for $600, but by the time I got on here, it was purchased.
There were actually two, one sealed in the box, I bought that one!! So, I'm back!!!!! Not that this really means much to anyone, but I'm excited!! This time around I'm not messing around with the Shift until the warranty expires, except of course for liberating it.
SWEEETTT!!
Welcome back.
I just got my Shift back from warenty repair and it has had a replacement screen fitted, so I am feeling like I have a brand new Shift again and share your excitement!
WOE IS ME!
So, My Shift buying problems begin anew. The first time I tried buying one, it took 8 sellers before actually being shipped one. Now, on this second go around I have just been let down by the first. This is ridiculous.
Anyone know where I can get a new x9500?

Welcome to the club (again!) and here I thought nobody was trying to purchase the shift anymore. Way too outdated in my opinion but the phone function and having to be connected to the internet where ever you go makes my shift priceless.
I was planning on selling mine but honestly, I wouldn't part with it. =) I just need one more thing and that would be a mugen battery. Still planning on trying to install osx on it? =P
Well, I've got one . . .

Yeah, well . . . I am unable to find another Shift, so I gave up. Which means I'm still selling the accessories, one of which is a Mugen 6600 battery. It will be back up in the marketplace soon.
I was successful at getting OS X to boot externally, but never internally. I have all the info any one would need to take up the project. I was going to try to install it to an SD card and just have it external all the time, but since I'm not able to find a Shift . . . meh.
It's Like Riding a Roller Coaster
I found someone that is selling a Shift used - like new, so I'm giving it a try. I only wanted to buy new, but I think I can live with "like new" so long as it really is.
So, after I find out about the warranty, I'll figure out what sort of modifying/projects I want to subject it to this time around.
Me! Me! Me!

I would be interested in your notes. Do you have to have a Mac for this or can we buy any Intel OSX dvd? Is it easy to find "drivers" or whaterver they are called in Mac terminology? Which parts/buttons/devices are not working under your OSX setup?
Thanks.

You do have to have a working mac or working hackintosh (such as a Dell Mini) in order to create the USB Installer. You also have to have a retail OS X Install DVD. I was trying Snow Leopard (10.6). You should also register as a developer with Apple, for legal reasons.
I found most of the necessary kexts (drivers), to get stuff working. I got the basics working, screen, keyboard, mouse. I even got the USB Ethernet to work, but didn't have it long enough to try out anything else, i.e. bluetooth, wireless, etc. One of the biggest things that I had to overcome was screen resolution, but once I found a specific program, and ran it after installation, everything "fit" perfectly. Similarly, I was never able to get Chameleon to fit to the screen. When it came up it was just grey screen. So you have to knnow the button combinations to get it to do what you want. But I've seen other people using Chameleon on smaller screen resolutions, so I have to figure out the tweaks to Chameleon.
I'm getting my new Shift today, so depending on the status of the warranty I may or may not try this hack again. I'll let you know.
Greetings!
I have ran out of options and finally decided to take this step, not really sure if it will work but still hoping though that it will. I have come here to ask for help from developers and people with great knowledge in these things. Here is my situation. My friend bought a gmate+ device abroad as a gift for me here in Philippines and unfortunately, this device can only be used in the country it was bought in. After reading things in the manufacturer's site and contacting them (they have a very not-so-satisfying customer service, sorry to mention this), it seems that there really is no cure for my case unless I have it ship back and ask for refund then buy a new one here instead,which is also almost impossible because I do not have the receipt(the item was just given to me without any receipt) and I do not know exactly from which store my friend purchase it(and according to him, he is also unsure from which store exactly because he went shopping for things as gifts not in just a single store or place). So to make the story short, I now have a useless piece of device which could have been really great for my Nexus 7 if only it works. The gmate+ is a device sold by the company Skyroam. This is a bluetooth device which allows an Android or iOS running gadget to have the ability to use GSM service through it via bluetooth pairing and software. I do not know if it is really hard, but I'm thinking ( actually hoping and praying ) that maybe somebody here could do something about my case, perhaps build a workaround via a software. I would really appreciate it if anybody would take time to work on this project. Additional info which may help, if anybody's interested, I'm running the stock update Android 4.3 for the Nexus 7 (2012).
Thanks and more power!
Are you sure that this is related to app development? Can this be changed with an app?

Not 100% sure, but like I said I am really praying and hoping it is. Maybe somebody could think of a workaround or if it's really impossible then at least they'd inform me why.
Thank you so much for the link.

You might need another firmware for the gmate+.
Or someone has to rewrite the Android app.
But to me it seems as if it it needed another firmware.

This is what I'm hoping somebody here could.
The manufacturer's site is up and it has details about the product as well, so the developer could know better about it. I have also found similar gadgets online. They are mostly products that are manufactured in China and have outdated softwares.
Just wondering what you guys are using it for/ what you're running on it. It's been on my shelf collecting some dust and I'm not sure whether to sell it off or use it for something. There is some functionality I like on it such as the HDMI port and the USB port and other things but I'm not really sure what to do with it. Just wanted to know what everyone else was doing.

I recently sold mine...When I first purchased it I loved it! I rooted and installed Koshu's rom which made it much faster. I used it for taking notes in college and at work (Comp Sci, Software Development). When the development of the rom stopped I tried to look into ways of building an ASOP rom for myself but no luck . Anyway I ended up selling it because it was taking up space and the Nexus 9 looked like a really nice upgrade. Currently waiting for it to be delivered.

How much did you end up selling it for? Right now my USB port doesn't work and it has some other small stuff with it, but not sure how much I can get for it.

I sold it on Amazon for about $170 ish USD with all the accessories (cables, dock, and a case). After the fees I got about $140 USD. I really just wanted to get rid of it.

The TPT still serves me well as a scratch pad, a sketchbook and a media consumption device. I also have a 64GB SD card that stores all of drafts, code, frequently read books and assessed data. It thus can be conveniently switched between my work laptop and the TPT w/o meddling with the bloody cables.
Do I want to upgrade? Of course. However I'm still waiting for a decent sub £250 Windows tablet with digitizer and long battery life for the upgrade to be worthwhile. None found so far so the TPT will still be my companion for a little while.
