HD2 Smartphone? Armstrong? - HD2 General

Everything I download something, they ask me to choose: are you a Pocket PC? are you a smartphone? Are you ARM? What should I reply to them? The Windows terminology keeps changing from version to version.
It must be a dumb question, but I am very confused.

its from the old days of pda's. my understanding is that a pocket pc does not have the 'phone' functionality such as calls, sms etc, and a smartphone has these features. ARM referes to the type of processor used, there are some others around. i have found that it doesnt really matter which type you pick today, as most will run on the HD2 (obviosly if there is an option for smartphone or HD2 select that). hope this helps

pocketPC = touchscreen

HD2 processor is based upon ARM design

Please Help(What is the difrent between Pocket PC & Palm

How r u my new frinds ???
My teacher ask me home work about the diffrent between Pocket PC & Palm OS??
or any Opreating System for mobiles......
please help meeeeeee
http://aspen.ucs.indiana.edu/collabtools/extras/MobileDevices.html
Click on the link and you should find all the information you need.
The main difference between the two is that Pocket PC is multitasking (you can run multiple programs at the same time) while Palm OS is not. But the next version of Palm OS will be multitasking. It's funny how Palm previously said the Pocket PC features (color, multitasking, fast CPU, etc.) are not needed and then later add those same features to Palm OS.
well in defence of palm then batt's are becomming better and
things like colour tft and .....
require less power then they used to
i see pocketpc as a pc which fit in your pocket (not shirt pocket though )
and palm as a eletronic calander / time manager. ... . . ..
a pocketpc is overkill for many people who just need a eletronic time manager
PLEASE I want the diffrence between the opraeting system of Pocket PC & Palm OS??
I am SORRY
Go search on google, we arent here to do your homework, what did you expect? a written up essay or something?

It turns out that the next version of Palm OS will not be a true multitasking OS. Instead, it will use the task-swapping method, and only if a program is written specifically for task-swapping. So the next version of Palm OS still won't be able to run multiple processes at the same time.

Answer Machine software on the XDA II

A long time back I bought some software for my SPV which was an answer machine, which was based on the actual phone rather than through the provider (Orange).
With this software, you could record your own greeting also stored on the phone itself, and if you missed a call or rejected one, it would be saved as a voicemail on your phone or on your memory card, with details of the number that left it.
You could select other different options like how many rings before it kicked in etc.
This saved having to pay to retrieve voicemails from the provider and was a very useful program.
Does anyone know if there is something similar for the XDA II available anywhere?
Thanks in advance
I haven't heard of such software, and have been looking for one as well.
I cannot believe it is not possible to have a software answering machine.
it is indeed
the first one and the only one i know was on the sony Z5 and M-Z5 phone witch is already 3 or 4 years old
it included a real answering machine on the phone independant from the one of the operator.
so i guess it might be possible on a smartphone but i ve never seen it on the orange SPV.

Sorry, my mistake there, it wasn't on my first SPV at all , it was on my Nokia 7650 and it was called AnsweringMachine_101
I still have the downloaded "sis" file here but am sure it wouldn't work on my XDA? :? :? :?
he he,lol..
Yes,answering machines softwares are popular on Symbian Based Phones.
But there ins't actually soft like that to ppc..or maybe try search on PocketGear.
Will be very interesting to have a Symbian Emulator to ppc!
Good luck!
I've been wanting to do this. Does anyone have any detail on accessing the phone (radio?) wave IO from the .Net Compact Framework? Standard DLL calls are, of course, an option.
Didn't the HP Jornada w928 Pocket PC Phone Edition include onboard answering machine software? I seem to remember reading that it did.
------------------
pocketnow.com -- it's all about portability...
http://www.pocketnow.com
it is impossible to make an answering machine on PocketPC 2003 OS. This is a software and mostly hardware limitation. When call is established the audio output from wave driver is muted, and there is no way to make it play into the phone line so that other side would hear it. And there is no TAPI "wave/in/out" devices that are used by answering machine software on "big" compiters in PocketPC 2003. Built-in GSM modem in all phones I've checked, also does not have voice AT-commands like on voice modems on "big" computers.
Maybe Wince 5.0 would implement all needed functionality.
If there would exist a way of "unmuting" the waveOut device during a call, than it would be easy to write such a program for PocketPC.
Unmuting should be possible using calls to the core system DLL(s). All the same, VS.Net 2005 & WM2005 & its .Net CF will have SMS/Wave/TAPI functionality (so I've read) - hope I get them at work!

"The 928 comes with voice-activation software, and--this is cool--has a built-in answering machine. This is not software to control your mobile carrier's voice-mail, this is an answering machine built into your PDA. "
Yep, the Jornada 928 WDA Pocket PC Phone 2002 had built-in answering machine software. I wonder who made that program and if it would work on an XDA.

run WM in iphone, Android in PPC???

Is that possible to run WM in an iPhone.
Or run Android in a PPC?
I mean directly flash the ROM into iPhone or PPC.
Not like "running android on Kaiser"
Could anyone do this kind of "transplan"?
We should have a sub forum discuss about it, that make WM, and PPC more fun with it.
People are trying to make andriod to work in emulators on top of windows mobile first because they want it to be stable.
When everything is working stable, developers could look into flashing a andriod rom with andriod bootloader onto a device.
For now it is more important to get everything to work properly.
and about the iPhone.. we still dont know wether its fake or not.. its just a rurmor.. the developer promised it to be released by jan.. till then wait for jan..
i think WM on iphone is fake.............
there are very rare chances of that happenning.......
WM on iphone
there is WM on iphone, Norwegian developer did it,
http://5x5m.com/lp/277/windowsmobile.html
is it going to be freeware???????
i would seriously think about getting an i phone then........
Why would somebody want to have WM on a device which can't be used with stylus?
At the start, I knew that there was something fishy about it. Look at the phone, the bootloader is too "friendly" to be a beta.

I'm definitely going to try it once its bootable as a seperate OS.
I'm sure the peeps at XDA are going to be successful in porting it on to ppc aswell, so I'm just patiently waiting.

There is already android on msm 7200 Chipsets like the Kaiser or Vouge
And it's not an Emulator and run on the ROM.
But you must load the Bootloader "HaRET" on Windows, and after that, Windows mobile is quitted
also, windows mobile is working on iphone wich lags realy
Say WM is flashed onto iPhone somehow. But as Parg said it can't be controlled by stylus. And there is no Dpad, then some application can not be used with that hardware.
Indeed, it makes much more sense to get a Diamond instead of trying to flash WM on iPhone.
Additional to the hardware troubles (stylus, unsupported multitouch, ...), there would be license troubles. Guess you don't want to pay MS for WM on iPhone, even if that was possible, right?
Android, or at least a compatible system, should be possible for every device (at least in theory). However, if I buyed a device including a WM license, I'd prefer a good emulator (or rather VM, similar to the J2ME VMs which allow to use Opera Mini). That way, both WM and Android programs would run fine. OK, bad chance to modifiy the main system interface (start menu + Today screen), but I like the plugin concept of the Today screen anyway...

iphone? whats that? wasnt it a fad fashion accessory from last year that claimed to be a tech revolution in, well, in, I dont know? lets see, its not a smart phone, not a PPC, not a Symbian, its more a feature phone containing a proprietary operating system with very limited 3rd party support apps and interface.
Why would such a great device want WM running on it? oh yeah I know, it sux and its boring UI would eventually drive you nuts for lack of customization and limitation of available "decent" apps! hahahahhahhahha It'll never run M2D or some of the other awesome skinnable applications or any Linux OS etc, Its just WacOSX and doesnt even provide onboard bluetooth with A2DP holly crap even my 5 year old piece of junk Symbian supports A2DP, in a few months WM devices will be released with Bluetooth v2.1 (700kbps) and soon version 3 speeds up to 480Mbps. carried away sorry

Dpad is not essential for PPC,
usually, apps can direct operate by touching the screen.
the only problem is games, a lot of games have to use dpad as controller.

iphone hardware is not a big problem,
as long as iphone is one device, no matter how many people are study on it, it is one device.
Android on PPC is a problem, there are so many different PPC, which one should we study on?

Windows 7 on HTC HD2

Hello,
Does anyone knows how to install Windows 7 on the HTC HD2?
I've seen it on You Tube
t seems to me that like Android it is possible to have Windows 7 running on a HTC HD2.
I'm very interested to have it running on mine HD2.
Would anyone help me with it?
Many thanks
that's remote desktop.
windows 7
why would you want to?
thats not remote desktop because in remote desktop you cant use it in letterbox orientation, and doesnt have any keyboard the movie its very buggy thats a sign of uncompatible graphic mode but if thats real its good to have it like ubuntu and android

There is landscape mode for remote desktop, you just have to flip it to landscape before you connect!
I can use the windows keyboard also.
Until WM7 is figured out it will be more locked down than WM6.5 meaning the opportunities to mod your phone to your liking with be less.
OK,
Thanks for your reply's
I wanted to use Windows 7 because I'll find it very easy to work with and I'm used to it
I tried a WAD-skin from Rajivshahi but the skin doesn't function very well on my device.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
Maybe somebody knows something like Windows XP or Vista wich will work on the HTC HD2?
Are you serious?!?
Look at the specs needed to run Windows 7:
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor.
1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit).
16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit).
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver.
Sure, we do have a 1HGz CPU, it's even 32bit! But it's NOT x86 or x64, it's a RISC processor using the ARMv7 instruction set.
Unless someone gets a hold of the sourcecode for Windows 7 and recompiles it for the ARMv7 instruction set, it won't be possible!
Even IF someone got the sourcecode, there are many things that should be adapted before porting Windows 7 to a mobile device like the HD2.
Oh, and then there's the RAM issue..
Sure, the HD2 has A LOT OF RAM compared to other Windows Mobile devices.. ..but it's still far away from 1 GB.
Which brings us to the next item on the list; "storage space"
In order to have 16GB, we need to use the Memory Card.
Sadly, the transfer speeds to and from the memory card is not as good as the ROM.
I don't have the speed figures right here, so I guess I can't argue that memory card speed isn't possible.
But I am 100% sure you'd need at least Class 6. (Those 16GB Class 6 cards are cheap, right?)
And at the end of the list; DirectX 9 graphics.
Thanks to one or more XDA members, we are slowly but steadily getting better #D hardware drivers.
Though we are not WDDM 1.0 compliant yet.
Probably never will be, as the hardware just isn't good enough.
You'll be happy to know, though, that we are able to emulate enough Intel CPU power to run Windows 95 on our devices!

If you look closely at that video in 720p, you'll notice the contents of "Computer"
I find it HIGHLY unlikely that his HD2 has THAT much storage space on either C: or D:
Where he's gotten that third local disk drive from, I have no idea..
Or how he got two DVD-ROMs conneted to it.
In the words of the youtube trolls; "Fake!"
Hmmm, just curious as to why you'd want something like that in your pocket. Buy an HTC Shift or a TabletPC. It'd much easier for you & probably cheaper to put Windows 7 on if you consider all the Advil, Aleve, Tylenol & whatever other headache medicine you'll save on.
OK,
You've got me convinced.
Dumb idea.
Is there any working skin to do the job on a HD2.
I've seen many skin's/ rom's, but till now nothing looks like something I want.
Maybe there is a site/tutorial how to make such a skin/ROM?

HD2 with capacitive screen is freaking useless on remote desktop!

If you have Win7 Home Premium, Home or Basic, you can't.
If you have Win7 Professional or Ultimate, then:
- Connect your HD2 to your Wifi network, then find the IP of the Win7 computer
- To find the IP on the Win7 computer;
click on Start
type ' command ' into the "Search Programs and Files" box
click on "Command Prompt"
type ' ipconfig ' into the black box that appears
press Return or Enter on your keyboard
in the list that comes up, look for "IP address" under the wireless adaptor, usually starts with 192.168
- Open Remote Desktop on your HD2
- Enter the IP address of your computer and try to connect.
- If it doesn't connect, try checking your firewall on your Win7 computer to make sure Remote Desktop is allowed.

Wow, you got Windows 7 on your HD2? Now that would be a development...
(Guess it´s Windows Phone 7, no?).
Concerning apps, I don´t understand what people want...
Is it the number of apps which stands for the quality of what you get? According to my personal experience and opinion, 95% of all apps in Apple´s app store are just crap, and Android? Well, quite a bit chaotic, and quite a lot of crap, too.
But then again, thanks to a huge devs community like you find it here at xda, Android has a massive number of small apps which are really following user requests. And not just farts and other useless joke apps.

[Q] is it possible to install windows 7 on Acer A500 tablet?

Dear Friends,
When I shopped around for a tablet, the last thing that came to my mind was a tablet with OS Windows, however after using android tablet, I feel a tablet with windows is much better as we have software to go with it. I am a trader, I need multi profile sharing, video support, document editors, pdf to word convertors and other related apps to be mobile friendly. Can I install windows 7 on my Acer A500 which is currently running android?
How do I install it? Tablet don't have CD drive.
Where to download win 7 for tablet
Drivers for the tablet
please help
Cheers
I'll give you an advice. Sell your tablet and pack your bags. You are not cut out for installing even a custom rom.
Windows runs so far only on x64-x86 CPUs which are a totally different architecture from ARM.
Apps are incompatible among these two architectures. Windows 8 will run on ARM(yes iconia and all other tablets are ARM) but no previous apps will work unless built from scratch, on Windows 8 ARM edition.
y dont you sell your a500 and buy a w500? should be the easiest way
If you need Window$ (and I completely understand why you might) take a look at the existing windows tablets. Fujitsu just came out with a new slate form tablet that might fit your needs.
XDA is the wrong place to be.

I can't get a mobile tethering via USB. Ms office cannot be installed, FAX applications don't work, not all bluetooth printers work. What more .... we spend money to make our business easy not end up installing ROM. Tabkets are ment to be laptop replacements and business friendly.

There's your problem!
Tablets are not supposed to be laptop replacements. They are a different class of device entirely.
For some people, it is possible that a tablet can effectively replace a laptop, but it very much depends how you actually use a laptop in the first place. If you use your laptop for email, internet, and maybe some light games, then yes a tablet can replace it. Otherwise, a tablet is likely to be a companion device to another computer (e.g. a desktop or laptop).
In addition, "business friendly" doesn't mean suitable for all business applications. It just means, in my experience at least, that the device can be used for certain business functions, e.g. exchange support, VPN, remote desktop, Citrix etc.

Dave
true and agreed, will installing win 7 do any help or will I have to purchase a new tablet? I am not a software person. Tried posting on Acers tech forum to no reply. Need advice if I need the above will a tabket help or do I stick to a laptop
tablet usage
Tablet computers are designed for on the go entertainment media web browsing games and access to online content.I had a Archos 9 win 7 tablet.wait for windows 8 if you want a desktop in a tablet.windows current verson Outright sucks on touch devices.do web searches and YouTube video search of using windows touch. If you need all of that and need it now.I have a 11.6 inch HP dm1 notebook 9 hours battery. Dual core machine. A.tablet will never replace that for actual work.
My tablet however never leaves my sight.awesome for content on the go from my purse.and not cramped on tiny cell screen.

You can't install win7, you will need to purchase a new one. If you want to stick with Acer they have a w500 (w for windows, like a500 is a for android). But there a number of other windows tablets out there. But if you are needing heavy windows use and portability, might I recommend a netbook

1. What true business person has to resort to ad-hoc networks? Did you not realize the A500 is wifi only and doesn't have a 3G feature?
2. Why would you need multiple profiles? Are you sharing the tablet with others? A tablet is pretty much considered to be a one-person device like a phone.
3. There are multi-platform video conferencing apps that work. Of course Microsoft and Yahoo apps might not -- this is a Google device. Microsoft apps don't typically function on Apple devices either.
4. So far I use my USB port for card readers, thumbdrives, connecting my digital camera, keyboard, and mouse. This functionality will improve even more with the v3.1 update released within weeks.
5. There are 1/2 dozen Office compatible app suites available for Android. I don't think you would want to install a full version of Office on a mobile device with limited memory/storage.
6. There are plenty of modern and secure alternatives to the 1980's technology of faxing. That being said, there are numerous internet based FAX services that work perfectly with the A500.
7. Printers require drivers, and those come from the printer manufacturer. If they do not produce drivers for Android then you cannot print directly to those printers. However, there are apps that can satisfy your printing requirements. Again, paper and printed documents are becoming a thing of the past. Most industries have moved to digital.
My advice to you is to have your company's IT department set up some sort of RAS/Citrix type system that allows you to use your tablet (whether Android, Windows, or Apple) to connect to a full Windows computer over the internet and run all your standard Windows business apps and functions from there. Otherwise, a tablet (any/all tablets) just simply is not the device for you.
STUBORN SPOTTED ::::A500 WARNING ::::
YOU CAN NOT INSTALL, RUN, OR DO ANYTHING ELSE THAN AN OPERATING SYSTEM BUILD FOR ARM ARCHITECTURE...
Choices
- you go buy a laptop
- you buy a W500 (W stand for WINDOWS)
- you wait april 2012 for the release of WINDOWS 8 wich will probably run on ARM
- you recode whole windows for ARM architecture and open a new company armicrosoft with armdows
UNDERSTAND ?
A500 = Android = ARM CPU
W500 = Windows = AMD CPU
M500 = Meego = ???? dunno that one but I bet for A500 under disguise.
As you said you are just a end user... well me before buying something I take some information

I can't get a mobile tethering via USB. Ms office cannot be installed, FAX applications don't work, not all bluetooth printers work. What more .... we spend money to make our business easy not end up installing ROM. Tabkets are ment to be laptop replacements and business friendly.

Tablets are not meant to replace laptops, whoever told you that does not know what they're talking about, Tablets are more entertainment oriented rather than business.

STUBORN SPOTTED ::::A500 WARNING ::::
YOU CAN NOT INSTALL, RUN, OR DO ANYTHING ELSE THAN AN OPERATING SYSTEM BUILD FOR ARM ARCHITECTURE...
Choices
- you go buy a laptop
- you buy a W500 (W stand for WINDOWS)
- you wait april 2012 for the release of WINDOWS 8 wich will probably run on ARM
- you recode whole windows for ARM architecture and open a new company armicrosoft with armdows
UNDERSTAND ?
A500 = Android = ARM CPU
W500 = Windows = AMD CPU
M500 = Meego = ???? dunno that one but I bet for A500 under disguise.
As you said you are just a end user... well me before buying something I take some information

Not just probably: Win8 will ship in x86-64 and ARM-compatible versions. However, that still won't help OP much since it still cannot run x86 applications. OP would still have to wait for all his applications to be ported over to Silverlight and/or ARM versions.
As to the OP himself: you bought a tablet device in order to do business with it, meaning your income is atleast partially dependent on it, yet you didn't bother to do any kind of research on if it will evenbe suitable to such? Tough luck but you brought this on yourself. And as for running Win7 on a tablet device without a physical keyboard and mouse: forget it. It works, but only barely. Get a laptop.

Same here. I very rarely leave it at home, it's just such a great device and makes it easy to ogle at pictures of Johnny Depp :3
