VJBigPhone, T-Mobile Videobutton on MDAPro

Hi all,
I am aware about all the other threads but yet could not get across some nonsense on my MDA Pro.
I went back to the t-Mobile ROM because of german support on many features but running ozVGA now successfully with two exceptions:
1. Each time I reset the device, I have to reinstall vjbigphone (0.91) and re-run the .exe to get my dialer back to full screen. VJ did a real got job, but I hope anyone coud tell me, what could be wrong?
2. Does anyone know, how to get rid of the stupid and ugly video-button in the t-mobile dialer? I replaced all BMPs with the one's from iMate, but yet video is the stupid grey. flat button.
Once this is solved, I will write down exactly how to get really the tiny machine running with the best tools for best results.
Greetings

ndee: why do you have to re-install the app?
After a soft reset, what happens when you choose the "load and fix" option from the tray?
I am hoping to spend some time on this app over the next few days. Many apps being fixed, one a at time...

Hi Vijay,
when I softreset, everything on the phone is back to the tiny layout. Even though I "load and fix".
Only workaraound I figured out is reinstall :-(
ndee

Strange - I know we spoke about this before, but then, after you re-install it works?
Have you tried not loading VJBigPhone, soft reset, load the phone (eg press green key, so you can see Tiny buttons) and then load VJBigPhone. Does that make any difference? Re-installing shouldn't make any difference, it doesn't load any settings etc from the registry etc...

I have some similiar problems. I'm using also the neweset german ROM on my MDA Pro and after a soft reset I don't have to reinstall the app, but I have to close it and restart it again to gain access to the phone application. Without close VJBigPhone nothing happens, after starting the application again everything works fine (till the next soft reset, which happens every morning after the daily backup)

I have an idea what might be the problem then.
The code was modified a while back to try to find the "phone" program without you having to specify the name in your own language (eg "telefon" instead of "phone"). However, it's possible that if the phone isn't found, it's getting confused. I'll try to look at the code again soon.
I'm not writing any new programs for a while while I do updates to all the old stuff
V

out of sudden, I dont need to reinstall anymore. Just after reset, I run vjbigphoneres and phone comes up full screen. Dont know what I did and how long it will last - keep you informed though - thx so far.
Any solution for the ugly video button of TM insight?
ndee

TM Button: I know you've spoken about it for a while, but I've got no experience of it, I don't really use my Universal I think someone (you?) posted one before, but could you send me a screenshot if you've got appropriate software, and if you have them, a zip of your extended rom?

XDA Neo HomeZone app - can someone upload?

Hi,
I flashed my XDA Neo with the latest Dopod ROM but I lost my HomeZone app. Can someone upload it here? Thanks!

home zone o-2 de
Hi,
Did home zone application ever worked for you? I had my neo with german rom and home zone application never displayed home icon or any visual indication that I was in home zone, when in fact I was in the home zone area. And yes application was loaded.
It worked on my magician (xda mini), but not on prophet (neo).
As far as actual application cab. I've seen it somewhere on this forum an attachment with german ext rom folder. Try that.

Hi,
here you go. For me it works with the XDAneo. The icon only shows when I klick on the "Phone-Connection" Button. Not the best solution in my opinion, but it works.
Bye,

Very strange :?
Installed the app, works, says that HZ is running, but also "No coordinates received". And no little house anywhere

HZ problem
I've got the same problem.. I think there is something else you have to install from xda neo ext rom.. I've tried installing everything though, it didn't fix the problem. This issue accure after the rom upgrade to WWE from German. But to be honest, the HZ didn't work for me even before upgrade. I didn't have a problem with coordinates though. It just wouldn't display the home zone icon..

Yeah man, doesn't work for me either. What do you think, if I just wrote to O2 customer support and explained that I didn't install their crappy extended ROM, would they be so kind as to give me step by step instructions on how to get my home zone icon?

HZ and o2 tech reps
Not a chance! : ) At least not with O2 in Germany. Sorry for bursting your bubble, man. I’ve called them before, several times intact. I’ve spoken to a few different tech reps regarding this issue on few different occasions. Their only solution is a hard reset! They only go by the basic manual they have for this, where’s the only solution for fixing anything is hard reset. These guys there have no idea how to reset PPC without manual!
On one occasion I’ve asked them about “English WM” ( WWE Rom), since my previous phone (Magician) was in German, (that is when I was plain uneducated about flashing this phones and etc.) and guess what their answer was?! They’ve said that flashing the phone or putting any localizer third party software was going to kill the device without chance of restoration! I mean c’mon, how smart is that? So much for the tech support!
But any way, you try that, may be you’ll have more luck! May be they just wanted to prevent me from half flashing my phone or incurring any other errors to the point of no recovery on my own. But I have half flashed my prophet few times, had RUU stopping with all kinds of errors half way trough the process, leaving the phone with no rom Installed, and still, managed to restore the rom. It only cost me my fingers that I bit of in the process and tons of beer for the recovery : ) any way, good luck! Let me know if you find the solution.
By the way, you can ask them to enable voice indication of home zone. You’ll here Voice indicator “Home” when dialing from home zone. It’s kind of inconvenient, but it’s the only solution for me right now.

Unfortunately, aleksandr is absolutely right. The German O2 XDA support is not just poor - they disinform you! Come on, I know much more stuff about those devices yet than those guys, and I've had a PPC for only a couple of months. The "home" voice is the only solution for me too so far.

Awww, come on! I was kidding, that's why I put a smiley behind my post and used a somewhat sarcastic choice of words!
So for Home Zone voice confirmation I just call the hotline and ask them to enable it? That would work for me I guess. A simple icon would be better though... Sometimes I wish I was smart and could just write my own little programs!

HZ working now!
Hey guys. The other day I had nothing better to do then taking apart Neo’s german extended rom content and tried the home zone application on my prophet (wwe, dopod 818 pro rom) I’ve installed Home Zone cab posted by Sauron1978de and then RilGSM patch from the O2 (can be found in german O2 extended rom content. And funny thing it worked! I tried it a hundred times before and it never worked up until now. Just make sure you install rilgsm patch last. It does the soft reset at the end. I have home icon now in my connections notification bubble. Let the pda run for a few minutes until it receives new sms with coordinates and you should be all set. Make sure you have home zone short cut in your start up folder.
Good luck!

Hi!
It works for me too! But I would like to see this icon on the top of the screen without pressing any buttons.

icon at the top bar
yeah, me too! no luck on that though..

do you know how to get rid of the sting "HZDisplayDataSMP" which appears on the top of the screen?

how to get rid of the sting "HZDisplayDataSMP"
No idea. never had this. may be by unchecking "Receive channel list" in Phone settings - More- Broadcast Channels- Settingds.
But by doing this, you also will no longer recieve new coordinates for HZ.
But again, this is MAY BE, as I don't really know what I'm talking about here I don't have this problem to play with.

i too have HZDisplayDataSMP popping up as the active app after waking up. most annoying, though pressing OK or red phone button gets rid of it. still, as i said, annoying. would like to know if there's some way to disable it being displayed, without turning off the "Broadcast Channels"-enabled option, as the HZ app seems to receive and use these broadcasts to enable the HZ display. well, that's my experience, anyways...
so, in short, anyone know how to hide an app from being displayed? or maybe forcing it to always run in the background?

Wizard "QTEK 9100" questions

Hello All,
I have a new QTEK 9100 and recently went through several issues which thankfully led me to this site. The guy who sold me the new QTEK told me I could get all my questions answered here, so im willing to give it a shot.
1) I installed the Windows Outlook but not the ActiveSync because I was told ActiveSync would have to be removed later for me to upload and use the TCMP program to watch movies. Is this true?
2) I tried to install the GPRS monitor disk afterwards and a window would appear saying for me to do a "Soft restart of my pda" for it to repair or modify the program. What is a soft restart? How do I install the GPRS programs and do I need ActiveSync to do it?
3) I read dutch well but would like to change the programs to english. I read from the user Casablanca's posts that I could use the "lokiwiz" program. Where can I aquire this program and is there step by step directions on how to install it on my QTEK? Or is there a better program and if so what is it and how do I install it?
Any and all assistance is appreciated.
Thanxxx Vinum

1 - no
2 - dont know exactly what gprs program u r trying to install, please more detail, at least the website or something...about the soft reset is the standard reset: use the stylus to push the button in the hole near the infrared in the right side of the qtek...about installations, if u r new to this the easier way is to actually use activesync to install anything...
3 - first of all...if u r not an advanced user i dont recomend to change the rom as any error can kill your device...if u anyway r going to try have in mind that u invalidate your warranty doing so...and some tips: lokiwiz, use last version...read the more u can about rom upgrading, i suggest at least 4 hours (do a search for wizard rom on this forum and read read read)...language change: only way i know is going to first rom version possible (1.05 i guess) and then to your language choice, have in mind that this means double risk as u change rom twice...
and last word: this forum is full of geniuses...just ask what u need be4 doing mistakes...

first of all,WELCOME NEWBIE!!!!
1>nope,not true,better install outlook 1st then AC then do set your email accnt 1st on outlook and then SYNC ur wizard
2>softreset =1. there's a small hole beside the IR just push or click it 2. or you can aquire softreset program here in XDA-DEV(use search pls).to install gprs prog,u do really need to sync it, if it is in .EXE file,but if it is in .CAB file just COPY and PASTE it on your wizard(PDA MUST BE SYNC 1ST)
3>i think for this one,you MUST 1st learn HOW TO's to update ur ROM. my only suggestion is that SPEND MORE TIME READING FORUM IN THE UPRGADING SECTION,IT WILL HELP,REALLY.
AGAIN,WELCOME NEWBIE!

Looks to me that the guy is to lazy to answer your questions. Keep bothering him, just playing.
About soft reset, its harmless, its really helpful. I soft reset about 5 times a day, releases all ram and processes, makes your device operate a little faster.

new qtek9100 user
as i am a new user too, i like to provide some experience here, hehe, i started to be meber here yesterday, and i spedn about 12 hours on this forum, with about 30 browser windows open, reading and donwloading like hell, finally, after midnight, i got my SIM unlocked, thanks to lokiwiz 0.3a, and right now i am working on changing the rom, because i have a brasilian one and need a german or english one.
in some moments i htought its all over, and i messed it up, but i got lucky ( and PATIENT and disciplined, and all worked fine at the end. i just can REMIND what the other her said to YOU, THINK, and more than that ASK, i found , in just 12 hours, so many friendly and helpfull people here, its great!
YOU ALL ROCK !

First,
Thanx for all the quick responses I really appreciate it!
I'm going to spend quite a bit of time reading before attepting any ROM changes.
As for the question about the GPRS disk. It came with the Wizard and its called a QTek 9100 Application CD "GPRS Monitor" it says "version A" dec. 2005 at the bottom along with 69H20042-18M.
I know its use is for mobile Enternet and other applications. I just wanted to know if I could install it without installing ActiveSync becuase i was told to take of ActiveSync later to install TCMP.
According to you guys i dont need to remove ActiveSync to install TCMP. SO I'm going to install it, but before I do i need clarity...one thing.
Active is one program and Sync is another, right?
ArtXT reccomended that i install outlook 1st. "done" Then i install the AC short for Active program, right? Then set up my email account. Finally install the Sync program.
Is all this correct? I work abot 10 - 12 hours a day, so I dont have much time to surf this site and have to plug all most or all my questions into one post. Beleive me when i say IT SUCKS! But hopefully it all pays off at the end of the year. In the meantime I'll ask what I dont know and read what I can learn when I can.
Thanxxx Again, Vinum

Brand New Wing out of box, whats next?

OK. So I've had my Wing for a week now, it's not unlocked like it said it was on the ebay auction... I'm still waiting to get an unlock code. Apparently my imei was not in t-mobile database, so the unlocker has to get the unlock code from HTC in Taiwan. Anyways, I wanted to know how I would go abouts installing any touch roms. I'm very new to the scene, I know how to soft and hard reset, but if I ever bricked my phone I think I'd lose it and freak out. If anyone has any step by step tips please let me know.
Ps. I dont think my Wing is CID unlocked.. but I could be wrong. Thanks!

There are a couple of Rom's in development at the moment, being made specifically for the wing, but they haven't been perfected... so if you don't have alot of experience with flashing rom's, I would wait until people get them to work flawlessly before you start trying to install them.
Take a look at the HERALD WIKI page to learn more about your device.

TOUCH-IT WING ROM (in development)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332075

Duprade, quick question if you don't mind.
When you put on a new rom (like say...the wing touch it that's being worked on)....
1)Do you have to reinstall all programs you already have on there? And do you have to transfer any contacts you have through outlook over to sim to avoid delete?
2)Do you have to re-do the pagepool fix? I actually did the "Clear Storage" option the other night when I couldn't figure out how to remove something, and I have no idea if it undid the pagepool fix. I installed everything I had again, and am tempted to try the fix again to make sure it's on there, incase the clear storage got rid of it. But I'm not sure if it's gonna delete all my crap if I do that, and also if it might hurt something if it's already done.
PS..I tried installing the minimo which you mentioned in another thread (I love mozilla products), but it wasn't working. Maybe I got the wrong version? It'd show the splash screen, with a loading bar underneath that would fill to about 80% then stop. It also drained my memory down to ridiculous levels (like 0.3 when I quit it).

1. yes. If your contacts are already on sim, whatever good for you, but NEW contacts default to phone, so transfer any contacts that you got after your last hard reset to your sim before hard resetting.
2. Yep. After you install the pagepool fix, you soft reset. Soft resetting retains data.
Don't use minimo. It's terrible. Mini Opera. Or Full opera, but its payware

Well that's annoying, because if you have someone under multiple numbers, then it seperates them with a /m, /h, /w...etc. Also, after you transfer them back to phone, it keeps the sim ones in contacts, so you have duplicates. I tried deleting all of the sim ones again through sim manager, but they pop right back up. Only way that seemed to work was just now when I went in and one by one permanently deleted them from sim (until next time I change things, of course )
2. Yep. After you install the pagepool fix, you soft reset. Soft resetting retains data.
Ok. So after I install the new touch-it (once it works), I do that. Good.
Did the "clear storage" also undo my pagepool? Should I re-do it now? And when you say soft resetting retains data...does that mean if I re-do it now I won't lose all of the stuff I've put on again? Or will the pagepool clear me out?
Don't use minimo. It's terrible. Mini Opera. Or Full opera, but its payware
I'm tempted. Tabbed browsing is key...IE sucks as far as that. Don't know any other advantages/disadvantages as far as mobile versions..this is my first smartphone.

PS....this being my first smartphone, I absolutely love it. Also love that there are many people that mod and help make it better. Now if only I could figure out the damn thing about myfaves not showing in my call history and for missed calls...

1. If you use a third party contact manager (PocketCM?) only phone contacts will show. Dunno why, i guess we havent quite mastered sim access
2. yep. reapply, soft reset. no data loss.
full opera has tabbed browsing. go buy it. well worth it

Thanks. I will have to take a look at that PocketCM. I thought the contacts were fine the way they were, though I was looking at adding that ipod style scrolling. Is pocketCM better than the default contact manager?
I re-did the pagepool thing as well, just to be sure.
As far as opera..how much does it cost? And where do I go to make sure I get the right version? I'd definitely be interested in it.

Thanks for the links. EDIT - Mines unlocked!!! I'm happy as hell. Im selling my Siemens SK65 on ebay now. =)))

Can someone help me pleeze?

Ok so i just bought my new HD2 Just arrived last week, And Yah its freezing like most are, I have heard numerous fixes to this I guess flashing Roms or installing apps. I dont know if this thread is in the right category, but can someone help me fix the phone so it doesnt freeze everyday when i use texts and run smoother overall? I dont know how to flash roms or tweak any of these replies can someone help me please? I tried Custom window home tabs app but it got rid of the home screen so i took it out.. please someone help me .... i have yahoo, aim and msn messenger email or just reply on here ? thanks guys

try HR-hard reset.
1.turn your phone off
2.press and hold volume up&down buttons same time and turn your phone on
it will reset and restore it to the factory settings
This should help

I was in the same position 4 months ago... it's a steep learning curve!
In no particular order:
1. Get your phone and PC hooked up with activesync.
2. Learn how '.cab' files work - you basically just transfer them to your phone (I use activesync) and run them to install various things.
3. Get Resco Registry - this is a registry explorer which I find very intuitive and useful for changing registry values.
4. Have a look around this site, notably the tweaks threads, and see what you like.
5. When you are comfortable with the handset, look into upgrading your ROM. I started on Vodafone 1.43 ROM, but have since upgraded to Vodafone 1.66 ROM. It is very easy to upgrade to official ROMs (at least it was for Vodafone) - I image the manufacturers will give you a step-by-step guide.
6. Get Cookie's Home Tab!

Can you tell what ROM/Radio/Manila version you are currently on?
(Go to settings/about phone/software information)

I don't know where you got the idea that most phones are freezing, because if that was the issue this phone would not be nearly as popular as it is.
* If you got the phone from your provider go to them.
* Try a hard reset, make no changes (tweaks, software installs) and see if the problem is gone. If so then something you did is causing the problem.
* Find a stable ROM in the development forum and learn to flash, it's very easy.
