15 Euro = 20.68170 US Dollar for all the people that want to save big time!!!

anyway, i have done it with the german htc touch. worked like charm, thank you for the guide!

cheers, lutz

...works on HTC MTeoR as well (after application unlock).

cheers, lutz

actually you don't need any issues of anything to find that out - just check the htc mteor product flyer to see that it comes without the front camera... i've attached it for you

:-)

@Pondrew: thanks for the warm welcome :-) i was reading all the timew but had not so much to say. i only popp up on the release of new devices now :-)

cheers, lutz

tomorrow, gerryr, tomorrow!

cheers, lutz

hi there

htc removed the front camera for video calling because - quote - the results did not meet the quality criterias. i've got the release device last friday, recognizable by the forward facing arrows and the green htc home screen and boot logos. you can check it out here http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5360.html

tomorrow i'll get the htc tytn delivered. watch the space for photo comparsion then if you are interested.

cheers, lutz

ps: if that is a legal issue please share the link via pn!

EDIT : I'm sorry but it is considered to be a legal problem by forum policy.
As is abuse of the PM system for the same purpose.

if you are interested in getting rss on your smartphone - including a today screen plug in - check this out: http://www.rsshome.com

cheers, lutz

did you install the needed software from the sandisk pages? drivers are not on board of the compact by default!

cheers, lutz

if you ever loose it again, simply run your file explorer in the windows folder and copy the messenger.exe into your programs folder :-)

cheers, lutz

hi folks

the guy who did it restaurates oldtimer cars too so he know very well how to keep the shiny finish for the future - a special politure seals the surface.

its pretty well known that the c500 and its derivates have a metallic front cover and i am just about doing the same to my mda compact (colour is already removed i only need to do the fine sanding or decide to spray it in a cool dark colour - don't know yet how i gonna finish it). if someone needs details on how to take c500 or magician into parts just post here...

this thingy does the colour removal and the fine sanding perfectly:


another fine idea to do the finish is using chocolate :-) - check HERE!

:-)

cheerio! lutz

i have this in german for a while (unreleased still) - i was really unsure if i'll keep the mda compact or a smartphone as number one device. with this software the desicion was pretty easy: i am smartphone less now and only keept the jam...

cheers, lutz

hi buddy

i am still looking for a smart profile application that changes pre defined profiles upon the gsm cell i am in... :-) is this challenge enough???

cheers, lutz

hi buddy

you are right, the mda compact/jam DOES NOT have profiles on board. there is a nice plug in from o2 asia, called o2 plus. it brings you carrier name, shortcuts to programs, quick call divert AND profiles on your today screen. check out xda-developers.com and search for "o2plus" and take the second posting, the second download...

cheers, lutz

...its a known windows mobile smartphone bug that you have to live with at the moment. it happens on all of them...

cheers, lutz

buddy, only orange devices are able two show two different plugins in the same line and its a pain in the popo to program it (search for member bolasz here on modaco to find out how it works), so i guess it is not implemented in the tool nor do i believe its possible to integrate it. if you want two plugins in one row a) get a orange smartphone design your own xml layout...

cheers, lutz

...you can meet me at the ces in las vegas between 06.-09. january 2005 to play with the compact ;-)

cheers, lutz

checkout the screenshots and the pic of the real screen (sorry, i have only a webcam here to do the pictures so it is a poor quality, but good enough to see that the virtual keyboard takes over half the screen and is in fact bigger than any smartphone keyboard then). you can do anything with just one hand as you can see.

cheers, lutz

ps: see the skin for the intellipad? personalize it the way you like it :-)

yes, thats exactly what i want to tell you and what makes this ppc a possible smartphone replacement. at least for me i have made the decision already :-)

cheers, lutz

here are some details about the dialpad. its a system called IntelliPad, and it reminds a little on T9 and the smart search function in Smartphones phone book. actually pretty easy to use and thats what makes the mda compact a one hand use device in most cases...

regarding wifi - sandisk offers the sd wifi card (with 256 mb storage if you want) - it works perfectly plug and play in the mda compact once you installed the driver. costs for that are cheap - standard sd wifi card is less than 75 euros at ebay at the moment.

cheers, lutz

psybill, the unlocker removes the partial lock of the registry from the sda (needed to change t-zones key and reorder entries in start menu), SDA TweakUI does the following:

- removes operator logo
- deactivates t-mobile sound file on shut down
- t-mob start and end screen removal
- keep gprs connection alive
- reassign t-zones key to a url of your choice.

here is how it works:

1. copy the zip file (!) to your sda (eg. to storage)
2. open file explorer on your sda and click on the zip file
3. run SDA.exe
4. enter a url you want to use for the t-zones key
5. press "Fertig"

cheers, lutz

absolutely possible ;-)

here's what you need to do:
1.) do a registry unlock with the attached tool
2.) install a registry editor like this one
3.) start registry editor and navigate like this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER-> Software-> T-Mobile-> t-zones, press "Values", choose "URL" put in what you want (in this case i choose www.mobilejoe.de)-> press "Done"
4.) close registry explorer

pics & tool attached.

cheers, lutz

ps: you'll always see my face when you press the t-zones key after that.... ;-) or maybe not.

me too, i hope, patrick?

cheers, lutz

done - thanks!

:-)

cheers, lutz

thanks for clearing the dust fozzie. i think you can't have both plug ins running. i use 1.4 on my c500 with the lates orange rom and have no lock ups. this is the code i use:


cheers, lutz

@patrick - where can i donwnload all the newer (full)releases? i want to testtesttest...

cheers, lutz
