This isn't a phone so may not be for everyone one thing that interests me is being released to support a new FLAT rate service which costs 5,980 jpy per month
English press release
http://www.emobile.jp/cgi-bin/e_press.cgi?id=359
This beats softbank's 5,980 (Which a offer also real price is 9,980JPY) + charges
I'm sick of softbank's back door charges just want a nice simple price plan Is that too much to ask ?
Rob
It seems to be a great stuff from the spec perspective but it's not for me. It reads that the battery will last only for 4 hours and that's almost useless.
I'm sure this new carrier EMOBILE will release similar PDA devices in the near future but then with the phone capability. The only concern at this point is their signal coverage as they are new but I hear that should be fine as long as you're in the metropolitan area. I'll wait and see what's coming next from EMOBILE.
The 4 hours is use not standby - Sharp make some nice pdas for the Japaneses market
my main problem with Softbank is their total lack of answers to my questions and you get nickeled and dimed to death with charges
And this 1st April password thing is just dumb you have paid for the service you need a valid SIM to access what's the problem ?
rob
Have a Eng ROM?
Nice PDA, but have a ENG ROM?
I only know how to change system language into English for the WM5 version of the Em One (maybe the same works for the WM6 version). Here's how:
Using a registry editor change:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/MUI/CurLang 1041→1033
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/MUI/SysLang 1041→1033
Then manually rename some of the folder names:
Windows\スタートメニュー → Start Menu
Windows\スタートアップ → Startup
Start Menu\プログラム → Programs
Start Menu\設定 → Settings
My Documents\マイピクチャ → My Pictures
Then, go to
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items
and manually change the names of each item displayed on the Today screen.
[Copy name in Japanese, paste in a machine translation software textbox, translate, copy the result and paste it instead of the Japanese name. Piece of cake, right?]
>> Soft reset for changes to take effect
Hello guys, nice forum you have here.
I just purchased a Wizard and am using a PAYG O2 simcard in it. I have successfully loaded all the setting for WAP thanks to some members on here.
I have a few questions - please be patient and try to help me out!
1. Has anyone on PAYG O2 succesfully used GPRS yet?
2. Youtube videos won't stream for me - I get this error: 'youtube cannot play the file. the file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are trying to play'. Will I have to install an alternative video player?
3. What are my restrictions? Ie, I know I can't use O2 Active - what about Pocket MSN? What other restrictions are there?
I purchased this PDA as it was cheap compared to others, and mainly because I have an awful memory and need to start recording all appointments/assignment hand in dates etc.
Thanks a lot guys!
What OS are you running?
Do you have a Network Wizard in your Settings/connections tab?
PAYG: is that a refferance to PayAsYouGo? if so, I don't think it is possible to connect GPRS; But don't quote me on that, ask your service provider.
YouTube Mobile is what you should look up in order to play streaming media. I rarely ever use it and I believe that there is no FlashPlayer version that supports Standalone players like on YouTube desktop/or myspace.
You should update your signature to include your model number;OSver;IPL/SPL/GSM Even if it is just stock windows mobile 5 without any upgrades.
If you plan to upgrade your phone (if you are still on WM5) look up stickies in upgrading threads so that you can fully unlock your phone. Faria and Dr.Puttingham wrote some fantastic tutorials, and Mestrini's "Wizard service tool 4.2.1" is an exceptional piece of software that will be usefull for you in the long run.
Thanks S.V.I.
I don't have Netword Wizard, and yes I meant Pay As You Go. I've connected to WAP I think, but I don't think it's GPRS.
Youtube won't let me play their videos - this is the error message I'm getting...'cannot play the file. the file is either corrupted or the plater does no tsupport the format you are trying to play'.
Here's some details which I'm copying from the Device Information in Settings for you which hopefully answer your questions...

EDIT: Also here's the info from 'About' in Settings.
WM5
OS 5.1.70 (Build 14406.1.1.1)
Processor: OMAP850 - 195MHz
I will go look at those threads you pointed me towards now.
Well, Here's your proiblem why you can not see YouTube mobile videos: You are not using Windows mobile 6/6.1 with streaming media player.
I know it's messed up That it does not come standard on the phones, but this is the politics within the phone companies. They want you to buy new phones and extend your contracts.
If you CID and SIM unlock your phone (which I see you are already looking into) You can up-grade to WM6/6.1
I sugjest that you find a rom that has most of what you need built into the rom; as installing programs afterwards takes a lot more space and reasourses.
It took me about a month to find a rom that I can be content with (based on my needs)
One word of advice: RESPECT THE COOKS. It is very difficult to cook roms if you are just a beginer and I haven't been able to do that yet... but that is mostly because the lack of time and a spare phone)
It is also difficult to adapt a system that was made for a different phone to something that has become obsolete in the mind of the cellphone companies as well as HTC. They no longer support wizards
They spend a long time porting the OS and making sure that it works; but even they can't see everything before they release it. So, if something does not work, don't get mad. Also read the whole thread on the OS before Flashing the new OS to the phone or psting anything. I know that it can be a pain in the ass worth700 post sometimes, but that is usualy why they get to be that size. Most people don't like to read.
Welcome to XDA. You now have the abilitu to get more out of your phone than you paid for
Thank you very much S.V.I!
WM6 is now on my priority list...
Thanks for your time - I'm sure that info will help out other beginners too!
GPRS should work no problems...you might even get an edge connection here and there seeing they've had to upgrade their 2G network for the Iphone
GPRS works, but it is fairly slow.
I'm trying to get the Wi-Fi working now!
I've released a new build - 21820 - fixes most problems. Get it!
News:
Montecristo's fix for WM6.5 hardware keyboard issues.
Coming in July version of WM6.5:
- updated to build 21820
- keyx's suggested A2DP fix
- Montecristo's keyboard fix
Hey y'all,
Bet you didn't think I'd get this done before my earlier WM6.5 ROM expires at the end of the month, eh? WM6.5 build 21815 is the newest leaked build and is RTM quality; it has no known expiry timebomb.
I present to you the following June 2009 releases for the iPAQ 910c/912c/914c Business Messenger:
WM6.1 21042br0609 (cooked last-minute without testing - anyone?)
WM6.5 21815br0609
Both ROMs feature HP's newest firmware base, meaning increased max volume and other fixes. I have removed the following OEM junk:
- Cyberon Voice Commander
- iPAQ Tips, Help & Support
- HP Photosmart Mobile (and screensaver)
- Snapfish uploader
- HP custom IE homepage
- HP Today theme (and other customizations)
- Google Maps (old)
- Goolge Search (old)
Also the WM6.5 releases remove:
- iPAQ DataConnect
(...since the new WM6.5 AutoConnect feature does the same thing)
Both ROMs contain the following little additions:
- NumBattery
- GPS Viewer
- Backlight Controller 0.9.5.2
Once I get around to making some new OEM packages for my favourite freeware apps, I'll bundle those in the "m" series next month:
WM6.1 21042br0709m "motherload" - pending
WM6.5 21815br0709m "motherload" - pending
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLASHING:
1. Get a microSD card sized 2 GB or lower (SDHC won't work) and format it with regular FAT filesystem. Copy my FLASH.DIO to the root of the card. Insert card into your device.
2. Put your device into SDLoader mode by holding VOLUP+OK(button on right side) and pressing RESET. Make sure your battery has a decent charge (over 50%) and isn't connected to any USB charge or sync cable (or else your device will just go into RUU mode).
3. Watch the magic... SDLoader will check the file integrity, flash to your device ROM, do a clean reboot (can take a minute longer than usual) and then go into the "Welcome to Windows Mobile, tap here to continue" stuff.
4. If you run into any problems, repeat steps 1 through 3 with a FLASH.DIO that has worked before (i.e. you can make one from HP factory ROM update using Paloma's instructions posted here)

i'm downloading your 6.5 now..
thx very much for your efforts bro
"Bet you didn't think I'd get this done before my earlier WM6.5 ROM expires at the end of the month, eh?" that will be me~ lol (thought you must be busy with sth. else recently
welcome back, god Ben!!!
just flashed Monte's rom yesterday, so maybe flash your one bit later~
the 91x is truly becoming unbeatable among all the qwerty wm phones!!! rock on!!!
WoW!
Great job! I'm using your WM 6.5
I've just a little problem with the Titanium Weather, doesn't work :S
No weather icons at all. Any suggestion about that?
just running on your 6.5 now..
first impression? damn good!! (it also my 1st experience using 6.5)
oke here's some glitch i found :
-everytime i type using keyboard there is some delay in somewhat the same like i type using a keypad on my 610.. and it's kind a annoying to me coz, sometime if type an email address(or a sentence) after i type @(or a space) and i continue to type without waiting the half-underscore disappear, the cursor came back again to the first word of the sentence (or after the @) when the half-underscore is disappear. for example i always typing [email protected] but this problem giving me result [email protected] (if i type mail fast enough).
- and the capslock or function indicator near the keyboard is not showing at all
- the device is restarting my itself. here's the condition : i'm pushing the cpu clock to 624mhz (PHM), using wcdma network, and loading google using IE6.. and the device is going off...
another condition : every setting is normal, i watched a movie on coreplayer, and got an incoming call... and the device went off instead of freeze..
but despite all the problems above, i still enjoying your 6.5, but the device is becoming less productive...
ohoh,, can you give me a solution how to change screen orientation without restarting the device?
and once again i'm thanking you very very much for you Ben..

The keyboard is buggy for me too sometimes; I have no idea why. These OEM packages are taken directly from the new HP update. Has anyone experienced this behaviour on any other 91x roms? I also can't explain the capslock/numlock indicator... it is a DLL that I am still including just like the stock ROM, but maybe it also relies on stuff from the HP Customization package?
Device restarting itself... that has not happened to me and I've been running this ROM for a few days now. Are you sure your battery connection isn't loose?
Can anyone else confirm these issues and/or confirm if they are present in Montecristo's ROMs? I think he tends to take his SYS directly from the keyx kitchen, whereas I'm usually porting a release from Da_G or somebody else on ppcgeeks.
Hi,
I'm using your ROM, I haven't that problem!! Keyboard is normal!
I solved the problem with the weather, was a server problem with accu weather!!
hey BR,
Yeah, the keyboard bug is present in Mc's ROM too ... I'll give yours a try, I like your style!
Cheers,
John

Thanks. I just tried out mine and the keyboard was fine... but I've experienced that from time to time, even on the HP Factory roms. Maybe HP still needs to work on their keyboard driver a bit?
I am glad you've returned! OEM hp which building are you using?

I'm using the OEM extracted from HP's most recent ROM update, BIOS 1.20.09 (21 May 2009)
...but I removed a number of files and registry entries to take out most of the HP branded stuff. Feel free to use osnbtool to extract my ported XIP from 21815br0609 if you are planning to build your own 21815.
Hi Ben!
I'm looking forward to trying your WM 6.5 build for the first time (first time using a cooked ROM, actually!) on my 914c, but I noticed that you mentioned using BIOS 1.20.09. When I clicked through to the link to the HP website, this was listed as being compatible only with the 910c, with SKU ID FB168AA#ABA.
My SKU ID is FB052AA#ABB, would installing this ROM cause any problems? The latest OEM firmware HP have for my model is 1.01.01 dated 28th April 2009, yours is more recent but I'm not sure if my phone will run with it.

I'm not sure... but I think you should try, since I'm only updating the OS portion of the ROM anyway. If things don't work out for some reason, you can always flash back to your own Factory ROM using either DNW or the SD Loader (Paloma has posted on this); somebody reportedly flashed a 61x ROM to their 91x and was able to get it working again that way.
My assumption thus far is that there are no hardware differences between the 910c, 912c and 914c that require specific OS roms.
Okay, I'll try it out later on tonight and post here if/when I manage. Thanks!

Hmm. 1.20.xx is only available from hp for the 910c. For the 914c the latest update is 1.01.01. The legend is the same for both updates: "fixes keyboard lockup issue and audio quality"
BTW, Montecristo does not recommend to use the 1.20.xx version of his ROM, he still uses 1.01.01 (which seems to be more compatible).
He uses SYS folder from keyx 614 kitchen but boot.rgu from HP 1.01.01.
Once more, if you want to fully update your phone (Modem part, Bootloader, etc) go to this thread, works fine:

It's great BR is back in town for more cooking!
I am still figuring out how to modify the hardware keyboard layout using the registry. No success. Only AEKmap (ae.inc.ru) seems to help...
hi
first I must say tnx 4 the rom and 4 your work
I have tested your rom and I have some issues
1 I-go8.3 will not load up (stop after installation –need sr 2 releases but will not load at any way)
2 keyboard, have issue unlike anything I have seen
sometimes if u type a dot then a letter the cursor will go back one step
(I think there is like t9 dll or something that gets in the way)
3 rom is real nice (good looking ) but a lot slower if compared 2 Montecristo
expired rom (u have more apps/plugins but looks like it is more then apps difference )
4 sometimes rom freeze
5 sometime tmail will not open and u will get sounds like stuck recording (DJ iPAQ) sr will stop this sounds and then u can enter tmail o.k.
6 I use opera mini as main explorer don’t know way but u cannot log into forum (like xda …) at all website I have tested user name will be o.k. but password will not enter the field (stay blank)
What I must point out is that radio connection and auto data setup is great
igo and opera mini are important apps 4 me
do u have a fix 4 this issue or know a way….?
Tnx 4 the rom I like it
BR,
6.5 is running smooth, thanks! I have tested every 6.5 release out there and unlike Erezyad I haven't noticed major speed differences between them. My 914c is heavily used for both business and private.
I like this release a lot as it is the most vanilla, neutral and well balanced.
Thanks again,
John

I have no idea what the issue with i-go and opera mini is; I don't have i-go but will test opera mini. It is java (as you know) and should be more or less isolated from the OS, so that's really weird.
The keyboard issues... might possibly be a result of me using a 910c-specific OEM base while you have a 912 or 914, but I doubt it. I haven't experienced the jumpy cursor lately, but I can tell you that I used to get it once and a while, even on the default HP factory ROM. Montecristo and I both use the keyboard driver/files supplied by HP, so I don't know what the problem could be. Personally, I suspect that we're encountering a physical hardware defect in these units - wherein errant d-pad keypresses are being registered when you press other keys sometimes. Try disabling word completion and word suggestions - I've found that improves performance a lot.
I'm not familiar with the ipaq dj (what is that?) and the tmail problems you describe.
As for the overall speed of the ROM, you are right that I have included almost all SYS packages from the generic WM6.5 installation (except for Autoupdate, SampleMusic, SQM, WelcomeCenter and WindowsLive). I think keyx and Montecristo (who just uses whatever SYS is in keyx's kitchen, I think) omit Enterprise, IPSECVPN and Transcriber. I kept those in because they actually seem useful for some people. However, I think my ROM has a bit less of HP's junkware than the others'. To me the biggest impact on speed is free RAM, and you can keep nearly 60 MB free on my build if you terminate running programs.
I have considered releasing an "l" series (as in "lite") that omits Enterprise, Entertainment, IPSECVPN, Themes, Transcriber, Skybox, Skymarket and Widgets... it would be ruthlessly pared down. But then again, I don't take donations and I'm not really interested in a whole lot of cooking of ROMs that I wouldn't personally use. I expect WM6.5 to be a bit slower than WM6.1 because of all the added glitz.
Bottom line: other than fixing bugs that can be reproduced by others (and aren't just due to the OEM drivers or OS, which are beyond my control), I'm not going to compete with Montecristo for "fastest ROM" or whatever. If the 910c vs. 912 and 914 OEM base thing turns out to be a big deal, maybe Monte will cook for 912/4 and I'll stick to the 910c.
Thanks for the feedback!

Not as yet - have downloaded it just now. Will try it out tonight and get back to you.
I have spent the last 3 weeks - since I purchased my HTC Touch HD - on getting Telstra to give us the right to use a stock ROM. It seems they may at last be starting to listen to their customers.
In the meantime I have been using my old and trusted SPB Mobile Shell; Weather; Wallet; GPRS Monitor; Keyboard; Time and Backup. Took a long time to set it all up again and get rid of the Telstra stuff.
Although some of it was useful and I do like the look of the TOUCHflo 3D - I just didn't want all the Telstra Overkill - seeing as I purchsed the HTC outright.
What a surprise to now see Telstra come to the party. LOL
Cheers
i've tried it can't say i notice anything really different....might just have the fixes built in...same old keyboard etc
I tried it and found the following differences
1) HTC Weather tab (only major cities so sort of sucks but the animations are cool)
2) a few different internet connections defined including 'telstra enterprise'
3) couldn't set up my over the air activesync to my corporate email. Kept on telling me the modem settings wouldn't let me connect. After a number of fustrating phone calls to HTC and Telstra I worked it out myself. When you go into the options for the email account after setting it up there used to be an advanced button where you could set which internet connection to use, this is no longer there. Instead where you define which options to sync (email, contacts, calendar and tasks) there is an options tab, under this is a connection tab which has 'dedicated' by default. Changing this to internet fixed the problem.
3) new Telstra email service seems to be on this rom, for $7 you get 1000 emails from telstra mail, hotmail etc. However attachments are only free if you use Telstra or bigpond mail.
It seems a little bit faster, although not that much.
Internet seems to be quicker as well.
I gained an extra bar of signal strength.

Can you upload this rom for sharing? Thanks!
can't download
Can you tell me why I can't download this rom?
When i type my device S/N HT92RKD01786,
system answer is "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
When i open htc site for my country (Poland), there is no rom update in this year. Can I install this rom , if someone upload it?
Tried it - very disappointed
I tried it out last night and was very disappointed - yet once again.
The Weather Tab is now available but I still could not find the Customize Tabs location or application. Nothing else changed much on mine. I live in the "Next G" network area - so going from 1 bar to 2 bars did'nt exite me too much.
Telstra - shame on you for degrading such a perfect piece of equipment.
Ohh well - back to SPB - seems that one does work well and allows me to change whatever I like. Maybe not as good looking as the Touchflo app but at least I can customize and I don't have TELSTRA in my face the whole day.
Fuxik - I believe this upgrade is only available to the HTC 8285 "Telstra" branded model. Believe me, you probably don't want this one if you already have a working "Stock HTC ROM" installed.
Again guys - very disappointed in Telstra. Why aren't we allowed to have a stock ROM ?? Does Telstra think we are all "dummies" and can't find our way around a mobile?? Or are they afraid if we don't see them we may not use them (haha)...
ROM is in the base directory of the FTP site, couldnt seem to put it anywhere else
Battery life seems to be a bit less with this ROM
Can't change the home screen on touchflo, can assign a different picture but it doesn't pick it up
Seems to turn itself on every now and then for no particular reason
Drop downs in SPB Mobile and Phone seem to have stopped working
Opera browser paints itself about 1 cm to big sometimes and you can see the top of the bottom buttons but cant hit them.
Same here Nossac
I've also found a few issues with this new Telstra release.
Battery life is definately shorter now.
I was never able to change the picture on the "Telstra" home screen from day one. Last version had same issue.
Still cannot find the so-called "Customisation Button".
I ended up not istalling SPB Phone as it kept conflicting with the Telstra settings. But not having any issue with SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 (as yet)
I'm in the Next G zone and am now having an issue with the Internet Connection. My phone now seems to want to connect to HSDPA instead of 3G - It takes longer to download anything because of this. Telstra won't let us change the Connection Settings. They are pre-set.
What a joke.
Will be calling Telstra today to see what to do next.
Still NOT happy Jan!! LOL
Not being able to alter the background annoyued me so much I ended up putting Mobile Shell back on
I have SPB Mobile, Phone and Time all running nicely.
If only they would release better Mobile Shell widgets...
My phone has always gone to H when doing data then kicks back into 3G after is has finished. For some reason I thought that is what it was meant to do??
Even my mega battery is down to 40% at night now (new ROM + Mobile Shell) is a bit of a killer, it used to only get down to 60%
T-Mobile UK have released the v3.14.110 rom upgrade for the HD2. I am currently using the V1.72.110.4 ROM. I have seen a number of older comments about the upgrade but I would welcome any recent feedback from people who have just upgraded. Is it worthwhile, are the changes significant enough, does it improve radio/battery performance and what sort of things don't work as well as before?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I do not recommend to update
I've recently updated from German T-Mobile 1.72.111.4 to 3.14.111.1 GER.
Because I own my device only for a few weeks, I can describe only a few visible changes now.
Unfortunately, I have carry out no improvements. Only the following disadvantages:
Solid black Sense tab backgrounds instead of shaded grey ones. Read on »
The touch screen seems to react too much sensitively.
Scrolling in Sense is much more sluggish. I don't like the look and feel at all.
Older versions (?) of Digital Compass or Google Streets (I'm missing the 'Destination:' button below compass)
3 megabyte less free mass storage (208 MB instead of 211 MB ;-)
The wrong 404 page is not shown any more if you stay offline in Opera. But Opera without a client area behaves unstable.
The control panel applet "Screen" is missing (Touchscreen calibration, Activate ClearType).
From your comments and others that I have read, there seems to be very few positive reasons to upgrade. 3.14 seems to have a number of bugs and loss of some important functionality. I'll stay with 1.72.
Many thanks
