howdy all,
was wondering how alike the shift and merge really are? does anyone know if the meid locations are the same or have a scan from the merge? has anyone moved a merge to sprint? i like the idea of it being a world phone.
cheers,
disco
Was checking out the Specs. They seem very similar on the surface. As to whether or not one can be moved over to Sprint IDK . Although I really do like the idea of a SIM Card. Reminds me of my TP2 days. Having a SIM Card adds so much more versitility.
thanks for the response, i love my TP2's i have 2 still active
i am scanning for esn's in CW atm, but how do you scan for MEID? any ideas?
cheers,
disco
Not really sure. I did a quick search, and came up with THIS.

Hi guys! This is my first post!! Just got an I-mate Jam, just wondering how does one disable SIM contacts on smart dialing. When I try to search a contact on Smart Dial, it shows both contacts I have in the phone and the contacts in my SIM card, therefore 2 contacts would show up. Anyways to fix this?
Please RTFM! :shock:

ooo get the wannabe mod :roll:
What if he got the phone without a manual or has lost it.
Its the guys first post!!!!! The reply was unacceptable.
If i had a manual myself i would have told him the answer.
Ha, I've got the same thing on my MDA Compact- hasn't really bothered me until I saw this topic
I will have to RTFM tonight i think :lol:
It makes a VERY BIG DIFFERENCE if at least explain that the unit was acquired without the manual or CD which contains the manual, or as you (pda) said the manual/CD got lost.
I've been in Tech Support for 15 years and believe me, I know when people ask for help without reading the manual.
@sh500: That's the right attitude! Right on!
i rtfm - 3.3 Smart dialing (page 22 in russian manual) but did not find the solution....
hmm, so zerimar, y dont u tell us how to do it? i believe u do kno how to do it, coz u've been in "Tech Support for 15 years" and must hav "rtfm" pretty many times n probably kno "tfm" by heart.. theres no harm tellin as "Forums are designed to help people" rite? :wink:
From Page 49 of Manual
Smart Dialiing searches the Phonebook entries in both the SIM card and Pocket Contacts, as well as numbers in Call History (Incoming, Outgoing, or Missed).

With what is said in the manual there is no way of filtering out entries from the SIM card. The only way is if there is a 3rd party software that would;
1. Replace Smart Dialing
2. Have similar feature like in Nokia phones to select which phonebook to use .
@Appu: I never read manuals from cover-to-cover for whatever gadgets I buy, but I browse through it to have an idea of the features, capabilities and limitations of the gadget. I keep the manual handy just in case I am not clear about something.
Forgot to mention. The only way would be to delete the entries in the SIM card (anyway a copy is is Pocket Contacts which is then syncronized to Outlook).
aah so thts how it is.. thanx, zerimar..
hope this info by zerimar was useful for btong and everybody else around..
Ah it's a shame there was not concrete answer....
What's not concrete? It's crystal clear that it's designed as a feature but for most of us has become a disadvantage. This shows that's it's a limitation of the OS/software. From the day I acquired my S100 and noticed the problem, I have already started searching for a solution (3rd party software, or registry hack).
This is similar to the BT issue. By default, the only way to switch on BT is to switch off Flight Mode first and this is solved by PocketMax's Phone Alarm.

Well I was making reference to the originial question and the simple answer to it is no, you can't select which phone book to browse; whether the manual was read or not prior to the question being asked.
In my opinion a 'designed feature' in this case would be one that gave users the option. The way it is currently is more of a 'design by default'.
Thanks, that's the answer I wanted... It's my first time posting here, doesn't mean it's my first time posting in a forum. I wouldn't have asked this question if it was clearly written on the menu or if someone asked the same question in the forum... 15 years of tech support eh? maybe it's about time to change job before getting fired...

It is very actual problem. Is there anybody who solved that?
A few of us were wondering over on sprintmogul.net if there's a way to make the new nascar app Sprint released work for the moguls. When you try to download it to a mogul it says the device is not yet supported. Ms.Survivor downloaded it for another phone and posted the file at rapidshare to see if anyone can make it work on a mogul. Looks like its going to take some java expertise to make it work. Anyone wanna give it a shot?
Here's the sprintmogul.net thread: http://sprintmogul.net/Forum/tabid/54/ptid/370/threadid/3075/forumtype/posts/Default.aspx
I hate to be one of those guys who bumps his own thread when nobody answers it...but the Atlanta race is in 5 days & I have no nascar on my phone. Anyone have any ideas? I know you guys are much smarter than me...
I too want this bad... tried the program but it wont work on my xv6800
Turning left is not a sport.
I didn't work on my phone. Sorry mate
Hey dudes
I've had my Touch2 for a few days now and I love it. One problem though that I can't figure out.
When I go to create a new SMS and start entering the initials of my contacts, it doesn't actually give me any of the contacts that show up on my Sim or on my Device. Instead, they're all people I deleted a few months ago.
Can anyone help me out? It's really bugging me.
Cheers,
Dragon
PS: This is my first touchscreen phone and I'm so scared I'll break it. Can you buy replacement screens? I've got a 3 year warranty from HTC but I'm terrified I'll drop it, crack the screen and that'll be it. I'm buying screen protectors today but I don't think a thin bit of plastic will be enough to ease my troubled mind
Can anybody help? Sorry to bump, but it's really annoying
Found out the problem by going into Sim card manager, just posting here to let anybody know how to fix it if they have the same problem.
I have an Australian SIM card - when I put my Sim in the Touch2 it added a space before each contact name so none would appear in contact search. I had to go through and manually delete every space before the contact name, but now it works.
No HTC Weather and no navigator Copilot. Camera looks like crap also.
I just upgraded to W7 not because i wanted to but because I got so sick and tired of 6.5 not working. Not a thing I could do, 3/10 times I had to reset.
But Now where is all the applications? Where is the HTC weather application and the games and everything else my phone use to have. Maybe I am missing something or it is so obvious i have not seen it. BUt I want my home page to display critical info like it did in htc with 6.5. And I need my navigator maps back also. Co-pilot cannot find any navigators anywhere.
And is there a work around for the market place issue.

read the stickied threads in this forum and all questions will be answered.
Here is the short answer.
You can get full Live services working (with Market access) to download all of the apps you want with the simple tutorials in this forum

you can use navigon with uk maps.
New camera full resolution is available plus htc weather is downloadable also you can get the weather channel on app market.
Wp7 is excellent for my hd2 you just need to search & yee shall find my friend.
HTC weather app link
Do you have a direct link to download the HTC weather. I use this app a lot as I do photography in different countries.
either download HTC Hub after you get marketplace access or just flash this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
it's cooked into the ROM, as is chevron etc.. so all you have to do to get market access is call MS and get a code.
God help u another issue
Now that problem has a solution I have to spend 3 years in PhD School just to sync the dam thing. Why would i want my contacts and agendas in cyberspace? Sensitive info is between outlook and my phone.
These guys are forcing us into a place I am not comfortable with. Too much is syncing with too much. I visit Imdb and all my friends know. I go to the toilet and it comes up on skype "In the toilet"
Soon they will just digitize us into F.B.
More reading existing threads and less *****ing please.
I am venting because I though technology should make it easier. Drop the device on the cradle it syncs and that is that. Why is it so hard to sync. Why change a good thing? I have no idea why improve trivial things like the aesthetic and lose the things business people need (the entire reason for the smart phone is not music and videos)
I can vent cant i?
My Business HTC has now become a Toy Iphone, better at music than anything related to work. I think after reading the sync issue is a deal breaker, let me get this thing off my phone I have work to do.
http://www.companionlink.com/windowsphone/outlook/
maybe a fix for the sync issue
bravo.... afraid of syncing with the cloud, and solve it by syncing with g**gle? lol...

I think in your case its going to be alot longer than 3 years!
You've just installed an OS on your phone that you know nothing about, did you not think of doing a little bit of "reading" about WP7 before you put it on your phone
I'm not going to tell you whats just happened to your SD card
honestly why did they make it so hard?
Why force people to depend on the internet?
Why stop all the features that made me get rid of my Iphone.
Yes the UI is a dream, and 6.5 was a punishment but the good thing was flexiblity. Drop stuff on your SD card. And what happens when you are in some strangers house and need to give them a photo or a file?
Document sync needs another PhD.
I am on teh fence cuz I like the user interface because it works so fast and clean.
W7 the best way to convert your Business HTC into an Iphone.
I read about it, and the reviews didnt tell me about the sync issue or the office issues. Would it be so stupid to assume that a bloody smart Phone (i.e not a stupid phone) should be able to sync with easy. Now I have owned every smart phone known to manking even the good old Psion and the XDA o2, for the first time I have seen a smart phone turn into a normal phone.
Sell the phone, leave this forum. It will only mean fewer pointless spam threads like this one for the rest of the members who actually are able to read.

You can set WP7 to sync that stuff automatically with your skydrive. You can just give people the URL...
@ chumaj001 if you dont like a thread why are you replying Is communism forcing you to make useless remarks? NEVER understand these kind of people. You dont like it but you feel good by talking trash. Some of us actually buy these phones for their applications in the real world not for gadget boys toys.
I do have the solution to all you problems.....
Send me your HD2 and I will give you my old Nokia 6110 phone. It has no issues at all and does a great job calling and receiving calls. Seems perfect for your needs and level,
Cheers !

Hello friends!
I was prepared to drop a couple of D's get me a unlocked, sim-free Omnia 7 when I came across a little tidbit in some obscure forum; Marketplace is not available for all regions in the world!
Can someone confirm this please? I live in the Middle East - Dubai, to be more precise; and while the phone touches all the important bases, I am a little reluctant spending such a huge amount if it will be crippled.
Is there anyway to bypass or rectify the this problem - like selecting a different region or jailbreaking (chevron) it?
Thanks for all your help

Its ok, since it would be best to get hooked up in a marketplace full of updated apps and new submissions. get the omnia7, set up a US based live account, set you pc's system locale to US (for zune and music artist background to work) and then setup your brand new Omnia7!
If you don't want these changes, you might not be able to maximize WP7 and might not enjoy it.
Thanks for the reply!
Thanks for the reply!
Just to make sure I got it right; set up a new Windows Live Account - US based. Change the Location to US in the Control Panel.
... Do I need to change... say the time zone selected also???
All this before I install Zune, correct?
Anything else I should know?
I am guessing I can add my actual Gmail and Hotmail accounts later on in the phone? Sorry, This will be my first Windows Phone 7 phone, so I am a little leery about everything.
Does Zune installation require mandatory credit card details at any step? You know, for age verification or some such? (To date, I have never installed Zune in my PC so I am a somewhat iffy on things). Will that cause problems with my Location?
Lastly, I have to ask about is it worth it to root/jailbreak your WP7 phone? I mean what "awesome" feature does it unlock for you. I will be buying a phone without warranty anyway, so I there is some benefit it then I guess I can use the Chevron method before updating it...
Any more thought on this matter is quite welcome. I guess am a little nervous on spending so much money for this phone without any return option, so I want to make sure that everything will work out alright.
