1) I installed SMS chat thread v 1.0 which did not work. i think it is designed for touch screens and I have an HTC s730. I used the WM remove programs tool but it left behind several folders which can be seen only on the folders screen for messaging. I lso have no confirmation after send feature. The company, vito technology has not responded. Any ideas?
2)can anyone recommend a GOOD sms app for the HTC S730?
thanks!
How can I make absolutely sure my phone doesn't connect to 3G/EDGE unintentionally? I don't want it to default to this when it can't connect to a specific WiFi-signal, since my calling plan has terrible rates for data transfers.

i may have the perfect solution for this....(especially if you're operator is Tmobile)
go to start>settings>connections>connections.
manage existing modem connections.
tap and hold that connection located there and delete it.
now without connecting to a wifi signal, open your browser and type a site (ex. google.com) and if that edge/3g doesn't pop up, SUCCESS!!!
hope it works and good luck.
Is there registry hack to force phone to ask user confirmation before connecting using GPRS/EDGE/3G. All normal phones has that...

I'm not recognizing the menu choices there, is this for a s730? I did try to change user name and password in GRPS settings under Start>settings>connections>GPRS, but that didn't seem to help either.
What omadon99 suggested about a registry hack would be perfect, since I don't want to permanently disable 3G/EDGE, I just don't want the phone to connect to it and cost me money without confirmation when WiFi doesn't work.
Hello Everyone.
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post, although have been reading and applying a lot of knowledge you guys have! the forum is great!
Anyway, I have an unlocked HTC TyTN II, everything worked fine and I overall very satisfied with the device...
I made a foolish thing! I installed the "Wefi" utility and after playing with it for a little while, I didn't like the thing.. so, I decided to uninstall it.. however, now I find that my kaiser cannot longer connect automatically to my wireless networks after resume.. Now I only get the notification that it has found available wireless networks and, even though I chose not to show the message anymore, it does it every time, and when it does not, the phone doesn't connect to my WiFi.. so I need to do it manually... which is very annoying..
I already restored original registry keys under HLM\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms with no luck so far...
What can I do?... I'm still on the original WM 6.0, have not loaded any ROM changes yet..
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Fix for auto connect problem after removing WeFi
My name is Galia Finkelstein and I work at the support desk at WeFi. This doesn't happen anymore on the new version that's been released so for the older version we have a version fix for the problem with the automatic connection, just run this file and you should be good to go http://wefi.com/static/RestoreZCAutoConnect.exe
If I can assist with anything else please drop me a line at [email protected].
WeFi post-uninstall problems
Hi!
I am sufferring from the same problems as "obadillo" - see above.
I downloaded and installed the latest version of WeFi, but after a couple of days of use, I found that I didn't like it, and it also took up too much of my valuable "today" screen space.
After uninstalling, I found that firstly, all my previous wi-fi settings had been lost (WEP keys for my home network, my work network etc etc), and secondly, even after re-enterring these details, my device (HTC Touch UK Version - Orange UK) - (running WM6 Pro) refused to auto-connect when I switch the WiFi on.
After reading the reply from Galia (directly above my post), I downloaded and ran the executable, but found that it made no difference.
Any ideas anyone? I did email Wefi's support email address, but as yet have received no reply.
Thanks in advance!
I have also tried this fix with no success (running WM5). I have also sent an email to wefi support. No response. I would recommend you stay away from this software.
We-Fi Latest Version
I have found a (kind of) solution! I have installed the latest version of We-Fi (downloaded from their website), and then DEselected it in my Today programs. So even though its not in use, its wifi parameters still overrule the PPCs local params. This seems to allow me to switch on and off WiFi WITHOUT using the WeFi software, and it now autoconnects, even with the several wireless networks I have stored, whenever I switch WiFi on, it may take a few seconds to connect, but it now does every time.
Not the greatest "solution", but at least the problem is partially solved.
But as the good man above says, unless you're VERY sure you want to install WeFi, do not install, because you will lose ALL preexisiting WiFi connections and settings etc..
Have a good one!

Hello again, XDA devs!
I also had the problem and I'm struggling with Amir, some guy from the WeFi staff, to get the problem solved or at least recognized.
I left a complete description on my blog with links to people having problems. Here's the article (without links):
Before you consider installing WeFi on your Windows Mobile device, you might want to read this cautiously and save yourself some problems.
If you have not yet tried it, you're not missing much. Although promising, the app takes over your device. It controls your today screen, messes up your wi-fi parameters and some rarer stability issues were also reported.
First, the app needs .Net CF v.2.0, something that takes space and puts more useless crap on your device. Then the app doesn't just find networks and connect to them. Instead it overrides your wi-fi parameters and inserts its own code, thus the uninstallation problems. WeFi also takes a lot of your today screen's estate for basically nothing. How much screen space? Take a look.
Upon uninstalling it, many noticed their devices stopped automatically connecting to wireless networks, among other, rarer problems. The only known fix to the problem is to hard-reset your device and to stay the **** away from this app. We also saw a link to a .exe file somewhere but no one left feedback about it so we assume it's just as good as WeFi. You might also reinstall it, hide it and use it to take care of the wi-fi stuff or go in Settings>Connections>Wi-Fi everytime to select a network to connect to.
The developers were quick to comment about the problem and said they are working on it (see the first comment to this post). However their product page doesn't mention the problem yet and people still get caught. I left them feedback about *some* of the concerned device, assuming it's not all of them, hoping for a change. Feel free to do the same and put some pressure on these guys too.
You might also read one of those threads and see for yourself.

I'm trying to get the warning to reach all the download spots, if you guys feel like helping. This is just unacceptable, let's do something about it!
Haim head of WeFi Windows Mobile development team here
Hello all,
First, let me assure you all that we are doing our best to solve any user problem as quickly as possible.
Out of the thousands of mobile users we have, there are really only a few users who complained about this problem.
We released a fix that you can find in: http://www.wefi.com/download/client/RestoreZCAutoConnect.exe
which after executing and doing soft reset should solve the problem.
As our support team explained to “primemaps” via e-mails (sent in 08/07) this fix only works if you uninstall WeFi first.
What you are all describing is that ZeroConfig stopped auto connecting.
By avoiding the manipulation of ZeroConfig default timeouts in our next version (which should be released in about 2 weeks from now), this should not happen anymore.
If this does not help you or you have encountered any other problem – please send me an email to [email protected] and I promise a fast response,
it would help if you mentioned your WeFi version, Device model and ActiveSync version.
I hope you would all choose to install our next version and enjoy the many benefits it can bring you.
Haim
Can't work with it and can't work without it
With my HTC TyTN II I had similar problems as others have described, or maybe even worse: I could no longer work to any wireless networks. It would disconnect in less than one second every time.
I did a hard reset and that didn't work!
I also tried the "fix" the WeFi representative suggested but that didn't help at all either.
What finally helped me was Namwollem's solution: Install WeFi again and removed it from the Today screen (but kept it installed).
I can't help wonder if WeFi changes something in the ROM since a hard reset didn't even fix it.
One of these days I will have to install the ROM all over and see if it makes a difference, but I wish I could avoid that!
I hope others won't be stupid like me and install this #$%[email protected]#&$ software!
Nothing helps for my Diamond to restore Wifi signal
I have Htc diamond with newest Rom downloaded from htc.com.
My problem is that since i installed aplication WEFI(older version) and uninstalled it, i cannot see ANY available wifi networks.. I tried alot of things. I tried soft reset, hard reset, i installed WEFI (newest version) , in moments wifi works and shows available networks and i can connect, but after it doesnt work again.. I would say it shows networks only ocasionally(even if im always surrounded by at least 10 hotspots). I installed newest Rom again, i installed old official ROM, i always put mamximum performance instead of battery, and still i have no results/cannot see ANY available networks). I have a feeling like i really have a hardware problem with wifi now..But again i think whatever it is its caused by this aplication WEFI. Does anylone have any ideas? i saw some Rafael radio ROM , maybe i can try to install that?
Thanks
AArrrggghh!
This god-awful program rears its ugly head again! I have solved the problem totally now by getting a new handset!! Now I have my Touch HD (Blackstone), one thing I WILL NOT do is install this garbage!! A quick search thru the forums here will reveal a small and very useful program which will with one click switch-on WiFi (and auto connect to the signal it finds if stored in your preferred networks) and with another click will switch WiFi off! Its called AKWifiToggle, and while no where near as fancy as WeFi, IT WORKS and DOESN'T MUCK UP YOUR PHONE!!!
Hi,
I decided to try out a different ROM before totally giving up on this phone. I previous had an unofficial ROM as well but even that I found often unresponsive. Anyway, I'm on a Win 6.5 ROM with TF3D disabled and it actually works much better. Except I can't get to any web sites. I configured the network settings as usual and now I get http 403 for any site I try and connect to. Using IE for mobile since the ROM doesn't have Opera, although I may try and get Opera on there when I have some time. Anyone had this problem before?
Other info: Using the SFR network (France) with access point "wapsfr". Which is how it was prior to flashing the ROM.
Thanks
when you say "configured the network settings" do you mean you did it manually or did you run the connection setup wizard which you get after the ROM if first installed??
Also, what ROM did you flash to?
I tried both ways, and got the same result. I'm at work now so I don't know the exact ROM I flashed to, I'll have to check that when I get home. Thanks.
ok, this is the one I installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551294
It's quite good actually, except I don't like the keyboard for texting, too small, otherwise it's very nice. But anyway, would be nice to get the internet working on there too
typically a 403 indicates a permissions error.
can you double check your setting again by going to:
start-settings-connections-connections-advanced-select networks
click the top edit button and check everything on this page is correct. Also, make sure you are not using any proxy settings.
Just checked all that and it seems to be ok, and proxy is unchecked. Any other ideas? I think I'm going to try running the auto config again and see if it helps at all. Thanks.
If that still doesn't work, try to do a hard reset and see what happens.
still doesn't work, haven't tried hard reset yet, but I don't think I'll time to play with it today, I think this weekend I'm going to try a different ROM altogether. Hopefully the internet will work
ok so I've installed this ROM now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563245
I used mtty like he says in his thread to use. Tried the autoconfigure which didn't work at all since it uses "websfr" for the access point name, changed t to "wapsfr" but then I still get the 403 error. This is really driving me crazy, the ROM is so good but I can't get the internet to work on it. Anyway, if you have any other suggestions let me know. Thanks.
ok actually, turns out it was internet explorer (go figure), I installed opera mobile and it works fine. So maybe SFR blocks IE ??? I find that kind of strange, but it works fine with Opera, so now I just hope works with google maps and I'm cool
my phone boots and runs android beautifully but my data connection does not work at all
also my wifi is not working.
anytips?
I have the same Problem
I have the same problem. I found a Link to android where the wifi is working
1111www mega up load. com/?d=Y1VDY673 (without spaces and without the ones)
Let me know when you get data to work. thanks
thanks that link is SUPER slow on my comp, but imma let it go
i have no idea how to get data, i think it is a problem with the apn settings and i cannot find any of that information for cellular south
does anybody hav access to cell south apn data, i think that may be wats wrong because the fone says it has "3G" and the up arrow flashes but the down does not and it goes no where
Phone Number is #777
User Name: [email protected]
This user name is usually the same as your phone number.
PassWord: (ESN Hex number in all caps)
Note: ESN = MEID for CSouth Touch Diamond. You can find it behind the battery.
That's the settings for setting up in WM. I'm currently trying to figure out Android myself. I'll post my results.
Edit: Alright, I figured it out.
Create a new APN with the home key.
In server, put #777. The rest is the above information.
did that fix work?
ok this still did nothing for my diamond, what build and kernel and stuff were you using?
Nothing happen to my phone either
i am about to throw my diam500 out the window, ever since i started tinkering with android, it has NOT worked at all, to top it off, it will not sync with active sync or mount as a disk, i want OUT i want REAL android i hate winmo rite now plus my rom sucks, its slow freezes all the time and the sad part is that its the best one ive tried
Lol, Try the gtx fearless rom on ppc greeks website. just google roms for cdma htc diamond.
I'm sorry for not responding, but I seemed to have it working at first. After a soft reset, it seemed to have stopped. Right now, I'm trying to determine another way using other threads I've found across the internet.
I'll try to find a fix, if I can.
Edit: Updating to the latest rootfs, zimage, etc.. Fixed the data problem for me. The APN I have set up is called "Android", APN is "Internet", and APN Type "Default".
Also, make sure you have "msmvkeyb_toggle=off" in your cmdline area of startup.txt or else you have an annoying keyboard that won't go away on the top of the screen. I had this bug during my first turn on with update, but I put this in before booting Droid again, so it may have gone away on its own.
Awesome

Awesome, Its actually working. Thanks
Another thing I'd like to add, is that you MAY have to enter Airplane mode, then exit.
Definitely working for me 100% now, though.
anyone having the problem of the charge light working in reverse of what its suppose to?
my charge light pulses when the phone is not charging and is off when the phone is charging. I wasn't sure if this was a cellular south problem or an overall problem.....or if I screwed something up
Hey guys,
For the longest time I've been on Fido with a unlocked (direct from sony X1a). I've never had any problems with it at all. Everything worked flawless.
Recently I setup a corporate plan with Rogers. Ended up getting a bunch of Xperia X1s at a discounted rate since I signed a 3 year on a swack of lines...
Anyways I got the Xperias, turns out Rogers like to charge for VPN access. I added it to all the devices.
After setting up the VPN.com apn on the new rogers (rogers firmware) Xperia X1s, I noticed that everything worked except simple web page browsing (in both browsers). No errors, just loaded completely blank pages. When changing apn back to internet.com everything worked fine.
From this behavior I went ahead and checked the config on the device, no proxies were configured anywhere.
I asked the Rogers guy, currently it's bumped up to Tier 2 support and noone knows anything, they denied any "hidden proxies".
I'm now waiting for a call back from Tier 2 to further troubleshoot the issue. While I've waiting, I went ahead and started fishing through the registry. I found a bunch of very odd registry entries pertaining to proxies...
After removing these "odd" proxy registry keys, all of a sudden I can now use web browsing without ANY issues.
Does anyone know exactly how many registry keys are affected? Isn't this a huge security hole? Who is looking at the proxy info?
I had posted about this very same matter about an year ago. No matter how much they deny hidden proxies, they are in place. Interestingly enough - they are not mandatory, but are enforced for Windows Mobile Rogers phones. After hitting the wall pretty much on everything I tried (and no responses here on XDA either), I ended up installing generic US rom (no need of HardSPL or anything), where you can bypass connection wizard and set connection settings manually (wizard is the thing that messes up things and makes VPN.com useless). On the stock Rogers rom there is no way you can bypass connection wizard.
Once you set everything manually, there is no problem whatsoever with using vpn.com except for rogers.mobi page not being able to recognize you and provide account information (not hugely important to me, at all..).
So what happens is you turn the Rogers branded X1a into unbranded X1a (like your original one) and viola - everything works (as long as you don't use connection wizard to setup the connections)
thanks for the response!
After removing those 4 registry keys it's working like a charm!
So I don't need to HardSPL the phone to install the latest X1a US rom? I do alot of crazy stuff with WM phones, but I never eff with the hardware (as I usually always buy unlocked phones).
By the way, with the auto-config, if you go into settings, then connections, and goto the auto-config program, the "menu" on the bottom right you can hit, and then uncheck "Enable auto config" and it stops it from populating the typical rogers settings on every boot.
I used it to configure MMS, and internet, then disable auto-config (left the existing settings), changed the apn from internet.com to vpn.com then removed the registry settings mentioned above, and all is good
I still am thinking about maybe going to the generic firmware though as it is slightly a newer version. Anyone know any differences?
One thing I want to mention is the interwebz (spelling is a joke) is WAY effin faster using rogers phone on rogers network. Fido was HORRIBLE compared to this.
Just curious, how would you install the Generic US firmware WITHOUT SPL?
Thanks
Stephen
bump bump!
hey i was just wondering, seeing that you have the Xperia x1 unlocked on Fido. Since Rogers Wireless owns Fido wouldn't that mean if i buy the Xperia x1 right now i can use it on fido without needing to unlock it?

Way way back after the acquisition I think I heard they would offer unlock codes if you switched, but I don't think that's the case anymore.
Even though they are owned by same company, they are still separate networks...

you should be able to flash any stock rom when you are on stock spl, either via customruu or sd
never tried it but can't think of anything to hinder doing it
