Unfortunately it refused to boot, initially it gave me a white screen but now nothing at all.

Battery is fully charged and I also checked by using the C550 battery.

It's only been in storage for a year so I guess the next stap is to try to replace the internal battery.

Has anyone?

Any Ideas?

i used reg edit to chnage the shutdown screen and startup screens, but the virgin one stays put even tho the registry value says otherwise (unless there is another reg value i dont know about)

anyone? ;)

i wouldnt mind playing about with things.. but it would be safer to do it in an emulator and not my phone.. so using my phones rom image in the emulator would be best.

but i cant find anything to back it up with..

any ideas?

Run the "SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab" file attached

Use the registry editor "regeditSTG2" attached to change

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies (then press "values")\ 00001001 = 2 -->Change the value data from 2 to 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001005 = 16 --> Change the value data from 16 to 40

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies0001017 = 128 --> Change the value data from 128 to 144

The following reg editors DONT work

REGEDIT

REGEDITSTG

SGS Explorer

A possible alternative could be to run the "SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab"

And then the HTC application unlocker attached (which for me didnt work before I ran "SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab" but does work after I've run "SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab")

To ensure your phone is fully unlocked, run SDA_ApplicationUnlock on your PC (it is not meant to be run from Windows Mobile).

Make sure you re-boot your device before running SDA_ApplicationUnlock

SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab

regeditSTG2.exe

HTCUnlock_CVS.zip

SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip

i need help

by mistake i format my lobster internal memory and now its unable to start

its still goes into bootloader mode

so i know some one here able to help me !!

thanks in advance

I've tried both using the clear storage option in accessories and using the key combination with the same result. The device goes through a customisation process on first boot and installs the Virgin homescreen but the TV application is nowhere to be found.

Hope someone can help because without the DAB radio the phone is basically useless.

I can't see any way to make IE on the phone use Bluetooth rather than the GPRS settings.

I have read that it can be done via Activesync. Eventually I would want to connect via a PAN from my Ubuntu Linux box but any tips as to how to get the phone end configured would be much appreciated.

EDIT awarner

Please do not give out personal details like your IMEI number.

anyone? PM or post here if you do!

cheers,

Would you trust them ? Personally I'm not convinced .... to be able to claim to unlock any phone for £3.99 ?!?!?

Cheers

I bought the lobster around october and for what it lacks in rugged good looks you be hard pressed to find a decent portable dab radio at twice the price, and you get all the other great features too. So all told i am a big fan of the phone and its a shame they are discontinuing the service.

But my question is this. If i were to have a copy of wm6 is there a way of upgrading the lobster to the new operating system or is this impossible? Was waiting for htc to release details of an update but i had the feeling it would be passed by and it there is no chance of this happening now.

Would appreciate any info on this or tell me im living in a dream land :-)

thanks!! ;)

I can connect my A2DP stereo headphone to the Lobster (just like other phones) but can't stream music to my headset because there is no 'set as wireless stereo' option on my Lobser's menu.

What's going on ?

Also are there any firmware updates due for the Lobster and will they be available on the Virgin site ?

anyone had luck using cert.cab and spv-services to unlock ?

I just ordered one of these for my Dad who is very excited about recieving one. He usually uses leather cases with his smartphones like his Krusell C500 case but Krusell dont seem to have made one for the HTC Monet.

Can anyone reccomend a leather cover of some kind that would fit the HTC Monet?

Thanks

I have installed Fizz Traveller and was previously able to update via ActiveSync (USB) on both my Desktop (v 4.2) and my laptop (v 4.5). I then installed Avantgo and Fizz Traveller would no longer update, even when I removed Avantgo. IE will not connect either.

Avantgo was able to update with no problem.

I compared my phone settings with a brand new, just out of the box, phone and they were identical However, the new phone would not connect IE either.

I have run with both firewall and AV software disabled but it made no difference.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks.

At the moment, it's just a basic device specification, but later it'll be padded out with device specific tweaks, guides and all the other goodies :P

However, if you feel it could be improved, you can by all means go ahead and edit it or post some suggestions for guides etc here :D

Enjoy

I'm new to this forum so be gentle!

I have a Lobster 700tv for which I purchased TomTom 5 (Benelux Maps) which installed & activated ok, i also purchased the UK Maps, which again installed & activated ok, been using it for a week, Today when i tried to use it, it complained it needed activating again!! I also have noticed that the tomtom device code has changed! so i won't let me reactivate it cos it thinks it's installed on a different device now.

The only thing I have done in unlocked the device so it can run unsigned software as explained on this forum Here......

Any Idea's? before I call TT support

Thanks in Advance

Stuart :rolleyes:

Is it possible to install a dual sim reader into this phone (sorry if this is a naive question) and if so which one, actually I don't know how dual sims work and what process is needed to switch between them?

TIA

Took delivery of the lobster 700tv mobile.

Normally when the keypad is locked you simply press the unlock button to unlock it and use it.

This phone has a security feature called device lock with which i have problems with. By following the instructions in the manual i had set the device lock so when you press the unlock button you have to type in the password. This prevents anyone from using your phone without your permission. The trouble is it does not recognise my password. Has anyone had this problem? Have rang virgin who are going to send me a replacement. just wondering if it is a common problem before i try to set it on the replacement phone. Also how does one unlock it? The customer service did not know how to do it.

Hi, I have 2 Lobster tv700's and when in standby they are lasting for 16 hours, 20 hours at a push. I have done the A2DP hack on both and have tomtom 5.2 running on both. I have checked I have no apps running in the background (made this mistake with tomtom and phone lasted a couple of hours). Surely this isn't standard fare for this phone? This has rendered the phones unusable really and are now sitting in a draw. Anyone any experience with this phone? I have the wireless headphone option turned off as well.

Thanks

Please post links here you have.

:rolleyes:

What is the general battery time you get when you use features like D.A.B and DVB.

Thanks
