A call to action for all U.S. T-Mobile Wing users.

Hello fellow Wing users. I'm willing to bet that if you're reading this you're probably a little frustrated with your phone's lack of performance. The reason why I'm starting this post is to try and gather in one central location all the improvements that we as local community would like to see happend for the Wing. The idea is for you to complete this sentence:
"The T-Mobile Wing would be a better phone if..."
I have already contacted T-Mobile's customer service and gave them my suggestions,but I thought it might be a good idea to see what other users are looking for/need. Any idea is a valid idea, and after a month I'll draft a letter and we can all send it to customer service. And if we see more things that need to be added we can send it monthly with new updates. Sound good?
So this is what we have so far:
1. [email protected]
2. Official ROM
3. non-Buggy My Favs Program
4. Screen Lock w/Button Lock even when an incoming call comes in

I really love my wing.
The T-Mobile Wing would be a better pda if it had 3G, so i don't have to buy a new phone when t-mo's 3G networks comes out.

I'd love my wing as well. The only thing I can think of that I'd love to see is UMA support for [email protected] Not really a big issue for me, as I have no signal issues at home, but that's about it.

How bout a list of all the suggestions in the first post. The main thing I'm waiting for is a release of the official rom to fall back on.

I'm having email issues. My wife and I can not get the send/receive function to work with my home email accounts (Cox Communications). I'm using the Wing and she's on the Dash, both using WM6. We didn't have this problem with WM5 so what's the deal?
This phone would be better if I could get an answer from Tech support why I'm having this problem.

Updated rom with less memory leaks.
Hotspot @ Home
That's all I can imagine for right now. Wing's a pretty all-in-one device.
For developers:
Would love TOUCHFLO to be implemented into a rom.
Rom's with freed up memory
Less customization
Faster and more stable.

suggestions
for now, I guess these will be the 2 main things
1. A small-sized rom, with all t-mobile apps as optional installs
2. An actual RUU rom file for us all upgraders...

Like a T-Mobile Kitchen? That would be cool

Here here! I totally agree.
Here here! I totally agree.
Not sure if these are really T-Mobile's issues or WM6 issues or HTC issues, but ...
Alarms are Unreliable
...If I set an alarm, I can NOT be confident that it will sound. The WM6 alarms worked fine the first time I set it active. A day alter I changed the alarm time and alarm sound, and the alarm hasn't worked correctly since. I eventually installed a 3rd party alarm clock, and deactivated the WM6 alarms. The 3rd party one worked OK for a week, then it wouldn't work either! It only seems to work when the phone is On, and set to stay on (plugged in). If the phone goes into suspend mode over night, the alarm doesn't seem to play the alarm sound. It does wake up the device, and does flash the light, but no sound!
Volume Up/Down Buttons:
...Seems like the hardware volume buttons (which are my first choice for volume control) do not adjust volume for most 3rd party applications. In fact every 3rd party app that I've installed starts with sound blaring, and no WM6 volume control seems to control the volume. Only after entering the game, going to the game settings, and editing the game volume controls (if there are any!) can I change the volume. Why doesn't the hardware volume control actually control the speaker volume?
Listen to Music & Vibrate Mode:
...Seems like I can't set my phone to vibrate (through the quick ring/vibrate phone mode switching tool) and have volume for my music. When I set it to vibrate, the volume is set to 0. When I trun the volume up for my music, the ringer switches from vibrate to ring.
NOTE: I really wonder if all these sound issues are related ... ? It seems to me that there are a variety of volume settings, and a variety of controls to adjust these volume settings. Ringer volume, in call volume, speaker volume. , mute/vibrate mode. There is the hardware button, there is a software volume slider, many apps have an additional volume sliders. It seems like some *other* internal volume setting is getting adjusted (other than the main volume controls) and all programs (not the phone or ringer) are affected by this.
Locked Screen with Call:
...With the screen lock enabled, and the phone in suspended mode, an incoming call wakes up the phone and activates the two phone buttons. Every time the incoming call is answered as I am pulling the phone from the phone case ... !! This really sucks because I don't want to have to answer every call. If I don't remove the phone from the case, the calls are still answered just by the pressure of the case on those buttons.
Music Player Library:
...The Windows Media player Library automatically loads up all sorts of ringtones and WM6 sound files (that are not in My Music or My Videos folders)?? There is seemingly no settings to prevent this? manually removing them asks you to really delete the file (dangerous), and has to be repeated every time you reload the Library? I ended up using a new media player that has more settings and isn't so stupid.
User Modes: (not an issue, but a desired feature)
...I have found the need for 'usage modes' for the phone. I mean things like 'phone mode', 'internet mode', 'music/movie player mode'. Somethng that would enable the appropriate device settings to facilitate using some program without the screen turning off, or auto-suspending.
...I know you can manually go through all your settings and enable/disable the auto-suspend, change the backlight, change the volume/ring type, etc. in order to use the Wing as an MP3 player, phone, or news reader ... but different usage modes would seemingly be a *must have* for anyone who really uses these different functionalities one after the next.
... for example, as an MP3 player I want the device to stay on (no auto-suspend), the back light off after 30 sec, and vibrate only ringer, and music volume adjustable (only makes sense). BUT if I get an incoming call, I don't want the backlight shutting off after 30 seconds anymore! OR if I close the MP3 player and want to read my email or RSS news feeds, then I want the ringer back on, the device to auto-suspend after 5 minutes, and the backlight to stay on that long too.
...It is time consuming to be constantly swapping settings back and forth, trying to remember what needs to be changed. I feel like I spend more time tinkering with settings then actually getting good use out of the Wing. Sometimes I only have 5 minutes to read news or play a quick Sudoku game, and don't want half that time wasted futzing with settings.
...Maybe there is 3rd party software for this, but I haven't found any as of yet.

Business Contact Manager Pocket PC / Contacts Button on TMobile Wing
Thanks for this thread. I think we should also post replies when members post questions about their needs....
I like my Wing and I am trying to keep it clean - minimal software. Having said that there are some things I would like to remove / change....
I have installed business contact manager pocket pc - which sync's with my business contacts in Outlook. The problem I have is that one of the Today screen soft button (just above the ok button) points to "contacts" and not business contacts. I am wondering if anybody knows how to get this button to point to the business contacts. I do not want to install new software - I think this is a registry edit type fix. Any help will be appreciated.
I would also like to see a new forum category for all posts regarding Wing and/or WM6 professional. A lot of the threads deal with older OS's and I am concerned to install software written for WM5 and older. Also you find WM6 posts buried under different devices, etc...

This is the only way I know how . . .

See attatched and it's the 'official' T-Mobile applet so . . . . .

Don't hold your breath for T-mobile 3G . They only have a little bit in Manhattan (apparently) and they were saying early this year that it would be rolled out in August and 1 week away and nothing so far

RUU updater
T-Mobile Wing would be a better phone if they released the RUU updater with the stock version of the ROM that comes on the Wing!!
When do they plan on doing that?

I'd mainly like to see a faster CPU (preferably keeping the dual core, so the radio stuff is independant) and more onboard RAM/ROM space.
Then, there is the feature T-Mobile announced recently -- a special box that goes onto people's home LANs, where people can make voice over IP calls, and have it automatically handoff to and from the cellular network. Calls made on the wireless at home are free, even if the call gets handed to the cell network.
Of course, I'd like to see a RUU ROM file, as well as a "bare/clean" ROM from TMO, providing pretty much WM6, and the basic T-Mobile network customizations, as a starting base to work from.

How about having the extra storage space built in to the phone instead of having to buy an sd card?

How about [email protected] for the Wing?
Now here's a GREAT Idea! Hotspot @home for the Wing - god knows it'd take little to no-effort for them to allow/enable us to utilize this . . . . .

My wife switched over to T-Mobile cuz she wanted the Sidekick (bleh) so she offered to get me the Wing...I really didn't like how slow and sloppy the phone's interface is. Still don't like how slow it is but I've warmed up to the phone since it's so handy. But I do wish that the apps where not so buggy and was more customizalbe. Like customizing the homepage to have using only icons for certain things or framing some parts of the homepage so that you can view different info without having to leave the homepage and watch my phone akwardly blink to the next screen.

That is an issue with Cox. Recently alot of ISP's have locked their outgoing email to be only able to send from approved IPs. T-Mobile right now is working on getting added to those. Dont worry about it being 6.0, that was just a coincidence.

The ITCs ban on 3g chips is probably the real culprit behind the 3g launch delay. Why launch 3g when you cant even get any 3g phones imported??

!st letter going out on Friday
Hey everyone, I just wanted you to know that out first letter is going out on Friday. If you have any other ideas please add them.

SIP please . . .
how about giving us the built-in ability to use SIP/VoIP that WM6 provides . . BACK to us . . .

First impressions.. (MTeoR)

First impessions, coming from a Symbian S60 user (E70, N95, then E50 most recently (today)).
Negative:
Phone loses connection with the carrier, during calls, then reports "No Service" on the home screen. This is with Orange UK.
I don't seem to be able to alter the contact display from Lastname,Firstname to Firstname,Lastname.
I don't seem to be able to specify exactly what "Peak times" means for Exchange ActiveSync.
I don't seem to be able to adjust the brightness of the screen, to save battery life.
The screen is crooked (it's not straight!).
No preview of new emails on the home screen. Just a number telling me there are some waiting to be read. I have to click buttons to see a new email, which I don't have to do on S60 w/active standby.
Positive:
The UI is very fast compared to my E50, which was a dog.
Screen is bigger and brighter
It's fast (I already said that..)
It does 3G, obviously, when it's not showing No Service. Orange haven't rolled out HSDPA properly here yet

and on that bombshell, this phone is for sale. To be replaced by a Nokia E65.
Any takers? - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=121290

Hi,
just a few comments...
Negative:
Phone loses connection with the carrier, during calls, then reports "No Service" on the home screen. This is with Orange UK.
I would say this is BECAUSE of Orange UK
I don't seem to be able to alter the contact display from Lastname,Firstname to Firstname,Lastname.
I am not sure if this works with the breeze but there is a hack for the Universal available to solve this
I don't seem to be able to specify exactly what "Peak times" means for Exchange ActiveSync.
Not sure what you mean
I don't seem to be able to adjust the brightness of the screen, to save battery life.
Using another operator would prevent switching from GPRS to 3G (and back) because of bad network connection, this saves more power
The screen is crooked (it's not straight!).
What do you mean?
No preview of new emails on the home screen. Just a number telling me there are some waiting to be read. I have to click buttons to see a new email, which I don't have to do on S60 w/active standby.
I just tried the Nokia E90 with active standby for a week and turned back to the Breeze. Even you see a part of the mail already you have to do something to read the whole mail or not??

The screen being crooked is prob. just a production glitch - mine is fine.
As for contacts showing wrong - not a problem here, I don't remmeber how but I either reverted them in outlook or by editing the contact to switch them back around.

Simple. In ActiveSync's Server settings (on the Breeze, not the PC), there is a sync schedule. I currently have that set to "As items arrive" under the "Peak times" section. Well, I want to define Peak as being 8am to 6pm, or 9am to 5:30pm, for example

Yes, you can. In Active Sync go to Menu->Schedule->Menu->Peak Times. There you can define Peak days, Peak start time and Peak end time.

I'm not trolling (honest guv! ) but I thought I'd give this Windows Mobile stuff a go, and the MTeoR seemed like the best idea because I wanted a candybar like my E50 but with 3G. HSDPA via firmware upgrade was a major bonus.
I did the firmware upgrade and discovered Orange UK don't have HSDPA much around this country anyway
I quickly realised that Windows Mobile just isn't quite right at all. It doesn't look or feel quite right whatsoever. It doesn't feel like a phone. It feels like a PDA running a phone application which works 80% properly.
I bought an E65 yesterday and I'm bloody loving it. I have TruPhone installed now and over my WiFi in the house I'm getting free UK landline calls, and reasonable calls to everywhere else in the world.
TomTom6 works.
I have an awesome calculator called Calcium.
Standby screen shows everything I want it to.
It just works.
The UI and behaviour has all the requirements for customisability you could want, although I admit it takes some time to figure out where everything is, with seemingly related options being in different areas/menus.
So, this MTeoR is still for sale and is in fabulous condition with HSDPA firmware on it and still under HTC Europe warranty. Any takers?

Let me ask you a question? which one do you do more often with your phone:
1. Read your email preview on your phone home screen to decide which email to read/pass
2. Make a call with your phone
With a Symbian S60 phone:
1. Just move cursor to email view
2. Example dial steve:
in Symbian you press Contact/Find, hit '7' 4 times, follow by '8', '3' 2 times, '8' 3 times and finally '3' 2 times before finally hit the Green button. Total= 1 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 14 times keypress to call Steve
With MTeoR:
1. Move Cursor to message and with one press you can see the Inbox list.
2. To dial Steve, you press '7', '8', '3', '8', '3' and finally Green button. Total 6 times keypress
The point I'm trying to make is that you need to familiarize yourself with the new OS before you can start appreciating its strength.
There are so many plugins that can be used to customize the Home Screen. Go to Juni site to get a preview of what you can actually do to the home screen.
http://www.kolumbus.fi/anders.ruohio/sp.html
Cheers!

Basically what you're saying is that there's no Predictive Text on the Contact List in Symbian. Fair enough. I see what you're saying.
I tried one of those homescreen plugin things.. Festi-something, or something which sounded like that.
It did all sorts, but no email on the front

Another thing.. I tried to dial my credit card company last night from the MTeoR.
I tapped in (very quickly):
08000288990
and what came on the phone was something like:
8288990
Perhaps it was up to something in the background.. I guess I'd have to go (hmm) start -> settings -> memory -> running applications -> stop applications
to stop them eh?
Just hold down main menu on Symbian.
OK OK I'm only joking, just winding you up. I already know there are good third-party task manager applications available. I've had plenty of PocketPCs before. Never got on with them one bit. Except, oddly enough, a Palm Tungsten.
I guess that's it. I just seem to dislike the feel of Windows Mobile. It's basically still in the Windows 3.0 era, whereas the rest of me moved onto Windows 95, and then 2000/XP. This explains why I hate Windows Mobile ("it just doesn't feel right") and why I prefer Symbian Phones, and the only PDA I've ever actually felt was 'quality' was a Palm Tungsten running that PalmOS or whatever it is they use.
I'm not wrong. Windows Mobile is the equivalent (look & feel) of mobile operating systems as Windows 3.0/3.1 is of desktop operating systems.

Best anti-theft software for Kaiser?

Hello community!
I just wanted to see some input from you guys as far as what is your preferred anti-theft application for your Kaiser phone? There's a few applications out there, and the following is a short list of the most popular apps out there:
- WIMP (Where is my phone)
http://www.wimp-software.co.uk/
- MobileJustice
http://thinkabdul.com/2007/03/02/mo...monitor-sim-card-changes-via-gps-coordinates/
- Sprite Terminator
http://spriteterminator.com/
Theres a few more out there, and I am curious as to see which one has the best options and capabilities. Some of them have GPS tracking systems, others can wipe all your information remotely, either way they have the potential to become real handy in extreme cases.
If anyone has a story to share where they used these applications in a real world situation please share it with the community as well!
Thanks

Sprite
I have tried Remoteprotect, and Ultimate theft before Sprite Terminator. Remoteprotect works great but no GPS and Ultimate theft would not shut off when tested. It keeps forwarding the text and its also a gimick you have to buy it in three separte sections. So I would recomend Sprite Terminator.

you can also try this on http://smartphonetracker.blogspot.com/
free and working.

I am also interested in installing one of these programs. Is there anyone who has tried more than one of them? Which do you recommend?

does anyone know if there is any possibility that we could implement the HP security system for there new ipaq phones into other WM phones?
something like what is explained in the end of this video...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4owrhyjxLeE&eurl=http://www.expansys-usa.com/video.aspx?id=636&i=157753

MODS. This thread should be in the general Kaiser forum....it would get more relevant views there I would think.

I personally like VITO FindMe (http://vitotechnology.com/en/products/findme.html) Free, get the activation code at the bottom of that page. NOTE: Since FindMe has an easily noticeable scrolling text, for the today screen, i like to hide it in an UltimateLaunch tab.

Thats cool, I was thinking of looking for a program that did this. You cant be too careful .
The only downside I could think of if the sim gets yanked out you´re screwed - right? :S
How does it work, does it trigger a GPS connection every couple of minutes?

yes i am also concerned for that aas well... but i remember reading up on one of those programs listed above that also works in the background even when the sim card get pulled out...

There was one I was looking at, don't remember the name now. Maybe it is one already listed. Anyway, you could go on the internet at any time and see on a map where your phone is, and if someone thought they were going to just take your SIM out and replace it with theirs the phone immediately sends you a text with the phone number of the new SIM card. I thought that was cool, because you would then know who was using your phone.

Wow awesome! Thx for this! The only thing to find out is how to hide it, and cook it with settings into a ROM.

These are all great programs but.....
I had my 8125 stolen and the crook just did a hard reset and the recovery software was gone. Luckily the bad guys had other bad habits and the cops found them. They recovered my phone but it was totally wiped clear, had been reinstalled with new music but no tracking software.
Because not just heavy users know how to do a hard reset the thing that is missing is having the tracking software burned into the rom so it can't be erased. I know this is quite A challenge. But when and if that can be solve we will have a good tool to protect our Under perfoming HTC devices (could not help that last part)

Cook the app into a ROM isn't that hard i think (also i haven't cooked a ROM until now, but seen tutorials which explain how) and in case of smartphonetracker the settings are saved in "settings.config" so we need to cook in a file which 'simply' copys this file into the "Program File" folder. Doesn't sound too hard but the "simply copy.." is may the biggest problem.
For sure nearly everybody who visit this forum is capable of flashing a new ROM and therefore can avoid tracking. But the bit more security is worth the effort, in my opinion.

I still don't understand.
Let's assume some asshole and steals your phone. Why do they do with it?
Option A - Re-sale. Surely this shouldn't be possible as the original owner of the phone will contact the network and the IMEI will be blocked.
Option B - Access to Data. You're device is password protected (right?) so they need that to get into the phone via activesync. As long as they don't switch it off, it might not lock the screen so they'd have to leave your SIM in... but then they'd surely be intelligent (they want data after all) go to flight mode and it won't be able to dial home. And then there's the media card.... even encrypted it probably wouldn' be hard to bypass. Surely the best you can hope for is to send a message and have the phone kill itself.
Option C - Phoning <insert foreign country>. Same answer as A.
Result is, I do not see how this software can be of real use. The best thing that I can think about for this software is someone can text you while you are driving and have it reply where you are on your behalf.
Or am I missing something?

Many Kaisers are not bound to their phone network. I can insert another sim card and use it without limitations.

well how about some thug takes your phone and isn't to savy tech wise. He doesn't take it because it's "the top of the line" driverless phone, no he takes it because it's shinny and looks expensive. So maybe they are smart enough to just turn it off for a little while but at some point they turn it on to check out what it does and to see if it works. I'm thinking at this point you get an email or txt with the gps location. Drop that into google maps, call the coppers, grab a chainsaw and head to where google leads you.

Here in the US IMEI blacklisting is not done on GSM phones. The phones are locked to the carrier though, but the phone can be unlocked.

SMS "local storage" - not persistent :-( Please help...

Hi
My SIM-Card will not hold more than 30 messages, and I'd like to use the "copy to phone" function to store them locally on my Himalaya and free up space for incoming messages on the SIM.
Doing so, my Inbox properly shows the copied messages (with appropriate symbols, whether they still are on the SIM-Card or already stored on the Hima).
Unfortunately, after a soft-reset, these locally stored messages are gone - that is: even after changing the SIM-Card (and the need of shortly removing the battery), I will loose every message that is NOT stored on a SIM-Card.
I am a bit confused, since c_shekars ROM is said to be soft- and hard-reset persistant, and all other installed software is still working properly after a soft-reset. Why then would all the messages be gone from the inbox?
Please advise, how to solve the problem...
BTW: I am using c_shekars WM2006 AKU7.0 RAMDisk-40MB Pagepool size-24MB for Himalaya

changing the sim always deletes sms etc form the fone... i dont know why but I think its a built in feature of the fone... and its like that on most fones ive seen. A security/privacy feature i think.
If u want to chenge sims regularly try using/scheduling pimbackup for smss and the sort.

Hello
thanks for that insight - but what about soft reset? Do you think, that is a security setting as well or would that be something to be able to corrected, that local SMS are deleted upon a reboot?
Additionaly, let me ask one thing about pimbackup: I have seen, that I can create a schedule, so that I do at least have a daily or even hourly backup of SMS's. Is that backup executed also when:
a.) the Hima is switched off, but the phone still on
b.) the Hima is switched off, AND the phone is switched off?
Thanks for the answers, in advance!

Flashing my TP2 to remove Telstraisation

Hey guys this is just quick.
I can't find any other way to remove everything Telstra on my TP2 other than "flashing" the "ROM". Having no idea what that means could anyone please link me to where I could find how to do this and how to "back up" my phone if it stuffs up.

To de-telstraise or basically to make your phone not suck follow the energy roms thread for flashing your rom and read the flashing for noobs thread to see how its done.
As for backing up its not as easy as it sounds, I havent found an easy way so save your contacts to your sim or better still sync it with outlook on your PC. You WILL loose your SMS messages, emails can be saved using outlook to sync.
You WILL need to Hard SPL see the thread in this forum for how to do that - DO use your original USB cable, you WILL need to run the enableapinew.cab fiel on your handset, send it via the sync cable and launch it on your handset first.
In order, back up your ****, transfer enablerapinew.cab to handset run it, sync your handset and run the hardSPL tool then flash with what ever rom your decide to use, energy roms seem to work best with our telstra model.
Once its falshed you need to go to the phone settings and tell it to setup for telstra it will then handle the GSM settings and Data settings to get you back online. hit the icon that look slike a red antenae at top choose the menu at the very bottom and then phone setting from the popup menu, choose telstra.
Doing this removes allt he Telstra BS from your phone, no more going to telstra landing page for web, no more going to sensis for search, the phone runs WAY faster, like noticeable, when using bluetooth headsets the handset responds faster at the end of the call too - like you can hang up and answer the next call the handset doenst sit idle for 30 seconds with it ending on the sense screen with the clock rolling over extremely slowly, it just works.
So this and you will wonder why the phone doesnt ship this way to start with.

just reading over this: it would've been uber useful had've you given me this information a month ago, I looked deeply into it, and it's great yeah, I used NRGz energy rom and it's magic. Thanks for the help though

I understand where your coming from - I was looking for something completley different and found your post which had no reply so I had to post something even if you already got there hopefully it helps others to remove the shackles of Telstraisation.
Did you find a speed increase too?

Oh, well thanks.
Yeah the speed increase was amazing. Still a few lagg spikes every so often but nothing I can't live with.

Just so you guys know, Microsoft MyPhone comes with the stock ROMs and backs up all of your stuff. It doesn't back up mail, but it covers contacts, SMS, pictures, documents, music, calender, video, tasks, and browser favorites. It will also sync your SD card contents if you want. The only thing you really loose is your settings information and whatever applications you have installed to the internal memory. All the apps on the SD card remain in tact, however.

You got your answe
But, now development, closed.
