Try pressing the power button to 'wake up'. If this works then look at settings>Key Lock, and Settings>Backlight

I'm in Aberdeen and the best I can get out of my monthly O2 contract with an HTC Touch Dual is 150 kbit/sec. No where near what your getting down in Edinburgh!

Got to say it's a s*** load better than the usual 3G 25 kbit/sec I'm used to!

I'm out the way a bit - it's about 1/2 mile out.

Yeah that'll be it.

Noticed that theres an update for ROM on HTC europe site. Screen cap attached. What's the difference between ARA and WWE_ME?

Anyone shed any light?

Cheers for the fix mate! One potential problem though.

Since installing this CAB, when I spell a word and hit the action key, the phone now inserts two of the words back to back. i.e. when spelling 'snooze', the phone insterts 'snoozesnooze'.

Anyone else got this problem?

Could it be something to do with the CAB file?

TIA

That work pretty good - almost too good! Fast!

Absolute Legend!

Vista uses Mobile Device Centre which seems to want to rename your device. I would suggest that you let it sync with Vista and rename, delete your partnership with Activesync on your laptop, and create a new partnership with the 'Vista' device name. It should always work from there on without a problem.

Hi Guys, I've been running a remote desktop from my XP laptop to my Vista Ultimate Home PC using DynDNS for some time now - it works like a dream.

I recently upgraded to a HTC Touch Dual which does not come with Remote Desktop installed. After searching forums I found RDP-Finster.CAB which allowed me to install on my device. The problem is that when I try and connect it gives me a warning of "Internal error".

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

MG

Nice tweak! Works brilliantly on the Touch Dual! Cheers!

Trying to get Remote Desktop on my Touch Dual. Used WM6 RDP-Finster CAB file but always shows 'An internal error has occurred' message when trying to connect. I have tried installs on both phone/card. Trying to connect to a computer with Remote Desktop already working via my Laptop. Anyone help??

To get my card out I had to get a pair of tweezers from my missus and push the card in to release and then pull it out with the tweezers. Not the easiest.....

I've done it!

I've taken the plunge from a mobile phone to a fully fledged PDA! Last week my Graphite decided to die on me forcing me to look to pastures new, a choice between the HTC S370 and the HTC Dual. Well after a visit to the Orange shop I handled both and Dual it was!

Once she arrived, I fiddled around with the finger flicking for a while and then decided to get down to the real business of seting up my email etc on the device. Windows Vista Ultimate found the device straight off, WMDC gave me a lovely picture of the Touch Dual, and away we go - but wait! I don't want all that email and attachments on my device do I? That's when I discovered the 'Use storage cards where possible' option for messages - something the Graphite and other Smartphones don't have (come on Microsoft) which meant fiddling around with registry keys, 'storage card.bak' and other full stop nonesense. I used to dread having to reset my Graphite Point scored to Dual.

After that checkbox well and truly ticked I went for a full on sync with server, nice and smooth, half an hour later we are up and running.

Right then, a few finger flicks later and I discover that the goddam pictures and video options on the touch cube point will only point at the Device, not the Card. Wait no - I can change the Camera to save on the card - then the pictures appear in the Album - aha, the Photo's on the Storage card are stored in a different folder - they are no longer in My Pictures, or My Video, the are now in DCIM>100MEDIA. Quick copy and paste from one to the other and hey presto! All my pictures and now available in finger flicky mode.

That brings me to the key issue - set your touch keyboard options to the 12 key setting by choosing touch keypad. This is the same as the slide keypad (almost)

To make you touch look smooth and plain readable try choosing cleartype from the Screen options and have the text as large as possible.

To keep the Dual running quickly try choosing the 'End programs by tapping X' option in the task manager.

Well at that point I thought about bed, and set my alarm. Repeat Alarm eh? That really is a joke! So a fix was required. Can I choose all the sounds in the alarms options - No - that's because it will only allow WAV format as alarms. Quick fiddle with the Graphite to produce attached file - save it in your Windows folder hurrah! No sleeping in now!


Seriously though, the Touch Dual is a nice device to use, although in my opinion not as 'intuitive' as I'd hoped. I really doubt this is a serious contender for the iPhone as it does not have the appeal to draw people away. It is in the end the little things that count, and the Touch Dual simply doesn't flow straight out the box. You have to work your way through it, which is probaby too much for most users who don't use forums such as these.......

Points to fix;

• Touch keypad is replaced by touch keyboard in some menu's? Eh? Did I ask you to do that?
• Wake up you little devil! Why must I press your buttons? Shouldn't you have a secret swipe to activate your screen?
• New email from the 'quick menu' - not quite!
• New email arrives - it's rubbish! Were's the quick delete button?
• Select a contact - no touching now, use your buttons.
• Select a contact - use that handy keybored
• Comm manager, push email, switch on or off. Why Why Why switch peak and off peak? Can I not choose either or both?

Well I really hope I'm being a dumbass and you guys can help me here, and maybe down the line we can solve some of these little but important things. For now, I'm of to stroke my new toy a little more to see what comes out of it.

Yep, that's a good point - I did only changed the settings on my Graphite once I had a decent data tariff. That was after I updated my 4smartphone account to Exchange 2007.

thats easy! go to activesync on phone then options. you will see settings for server and computer. highlight email on either and select settings from right button. one setting is html email.

Is your connection working to the network - can you use explorer?

Any luck with the hard reset? My phones decide to give me the 'network card not present' message

I haven't set up a Graphite manually before, but I have set up an Mpx220 for O2 before. IF your on WM5 It should be very similar but use the Orange values that can be found in the settings repository on Modaco (which I can't find so try http://www.filesaveas.com/mms.html)

Guide to Mpx220 on O2 > http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/231606...settings-O2-Uk/

You'll have a bit of work to do to get it right, try sending yourself test MMS to see if it works, and make a blog of it so you can post it for others to follow.

Good Luck!!

For those interested......apologies if this has been posted already.

Data Bolt-ons for pay monthly:

200MB p/month £7.50
3GB p/month £30

Check out here -> O2 Data Bolt-ons

They say that it's unlimited!!......and then say there's a 'fair usage policy'

Punks!

Not bad for push mail though, now I can have mine on all the time

I second that. Only get 3G symbol on WM6

Yeah, try hard resetting your phone. The update works fine. I would advise a hard reset after upgrade in all cases.

Pulled this from mymemory.co.uk:

"Because Micro SDHC cards are recognized by new Micro SDHC host devices differently then standard Micro SD cards, it is not backwards compatible with legacy Micro SD format host devices. Standard Micro SD cards are forward compatible with new SDHC host devices."

Shame, they also say the cards will reach 32GB!!!

I couldn't comment on the differences but my WM6 is more stable that WM5, battery lasts 2 days with average calls, push mail and soem wireless activity....

The fact your phone wants to reset tells me that there's something wrong somewhere. I've noticed a huge improvement in speed and battery life since the WM6 upgrade. Have you tried a hard reset?
