Hi I'm new here so I'm not really sure if this is the right section for me to post this if it isn't I'm sorry.
My question was, I have a HTC diamond touch and i was wondering if i installed Android can i still recieve calls and call other people? and lets say if i get tired of android which most likely i wont.. but can i change it back to windows mobile? like how my diamond touch used to be?
thanks in advance, and sorry if i made typo's im a little lazy to fix them
Android can't yet be used without windows mobile, so to answer one of your questions, yes, if you're tired of android you can always go back to windows mobiel. (by rebooting your phone)
Oh, Thank you so very much I been searching the internet and everything xD about how to install windows mobile back and everything But im glad you made everything a little more clear thank you

i tried to update my xda2i rom and it is now dead i am running windows vista. the screen shows usb v1.01 i have read elswhere that all is not lost and some people have suggested trying to install rom again on a pc running windows xp i have tried this without success when i run the upgrade program it shows a communication error 101 i would really appreciate any help or suggestions
If screen shows USB 1.01, it means that your mobile is not completely dead. Worse case when it shows Serial.
Go to Windows XP and install ActiveSync 3.7(only 3.7, not later version) and try to flash again.
Don't worry, I think it will be ok.

you obviously canot read old post or anything relating to the forum, if you care to actually look there is a post in the forum about the update, and a link in the post to download the OS.
pls try looking before asking daft questions.
FYI the post is called... Deathnoise 1.11.171 ROM. Bluetooth patched, camera fixed. Radio 1.04
amazing isnt it? and that was just a few lines down from this topic, it took me ooo 1 second to find it.
and for the guy that posted teh rply before this one, your an idiot that was a XDA2 not XDA2i
this flame of a idiotic noob was braught to you by.. Flame co.inc.
god sakes dont anybody ever EVER look to see if the few thousand ppl that have been here before may have had the same problem? try reading other posts before asking daft questions
Get a life..and a sh*g skeeve..you take life too seriously. Some people have meaningful and busy lives and don't spend hours and days like you trawling through all these posts, there is a world outside your bedroom you know
ps thanks for the link, i'm just too busy to have checked for my 'idiot noob self' but i've bought a new pda anyway after posting that

you proved my point, nuf said.
It took longer for you to hijack this thread than it would have to check another thread. That would have been much faster to read than signing up to the forum and asking the same old questions.
its very annoying when someone asks a question that been asked a thousand times, I am a mod (not here) in a few pc based forums, you know how long we have to spend removing threads or answering the same olds which have been asked time and time again, even though there are forum search engines, stickies or other posts answering them?
To be honest its you who needs to learn how to use a forum. And READ the forum rules. just like the hundreds of other users out there that never bother.
fyi: I am a second chef in a restaurant and work 36 hours a week. I also run a small pc repair business in my spare time, I just happen to love my xda2 and xad2i, so frequent these forums. Odd really shame I cannot get out of my bedroom and getting a "sh*g"? Well not as often as I would like, but I do manage. And its not nice making this a personal slur, as I was only pointing out your ineptitude about the use and etiquette of the net and forums.
p.s. if you would care to actually read my post as well, i never called you anything, it was the guy that poseted before you that tried to update to wm5/6. that "idiot noob self" must be somthing you get called alot (thats a personnel dig, as i like to leave things even)

HELp !!
My XDa2I has today started randam resets , 7 times thus far !
I changed the battery with no success and it has just settled down at last .
Each reset showed the serial numbers at the bottom of the screen .
Does that indicate something ??

ideas where I can get a cheap replacement battery for my dying XDA 2i ?
Hi everyone I'm new with WM, before I had only Symbian. I have ATT Tilt which I've unlocked and updated to Kaiser firmware, with help of this forum. Before Skype worked perfect for me, I had WM6 pro, but now when I've upgraded to WM6.1 it wont work, during loading message appears: Failed to load file. I've tried to reinstall it for few times... no help. Maybe somebody knows any solution for that problem. Thanks.

Seriously, does ANYONE read anything around here before they jump into a new ROM? Would you jump into a pool BEFORE looking to see if any water was in it? How many threads have people already posted and said "NOT ALL APPLICATIONS ARE WORKING ON 6.1" Start reading, read some more, THEN post a relevant question.

Downgrade back to WM6? Though I think I read somewhere that once you upgrade, you can't go back. There was a thread where people were finding problems with their phones after they went back to 6 that going back to 6.1 again didn't solve.
I remember when Vista first came out and the reports of programs failing left, right and centre. That's one of the main reasons I'm not bothering to upgrade until the compatability issues are resolved...
Is there any alternative program, that is also works with Skype network? I know Fring, but it's not so good. Maybe there are others?
Alright, so Ive kinda gotten over the fact that my fingers are way too big for this phone and Ive began to be a little bit more nimble...lol...but I have some questions about windows mobile...this is my first WM device...Im worried that symbian is the only one my brain can work with because I did switch one time a few years ago to the LG Viewty but I never really felt comfortable with it...
So heres my first and probably most important question, how do I get my computer to recognize it? I have Windows Vista...I have googled everything and all I have came up with is that I am suppose to use Windows Mobile Device Center...I downloaded drvupdate-x86 and installed it but nothing happened after the install was complete...when I connect the phone it tries to install the drivers(i guess)but then it says something failed with WM Remote Adapter...I then updated windows and tried it again...nothing still...I have also tried to sync it with wmplayer but still nothing...Any ideas?
Also, in the communications manager what should I turn on? Like if I turn on Edge or Wifi does that mean they will be running all the time? That seems like a waste of battery but at the same time when I get on the internet it doesnt ask me what connection I wanna use...and if I have to go to the connection manager every time before I get on the internet that could get annoying...
How do I turn off the SMS sent notification? its so annoying...
Heres my device info so I can make sure everything is right

As for connection - you connect and disconnect through Comm Manager.
It doesn't turn off by itself what is quite handy if
you rely on constant connection.
Just disconnect when you want to stop it..
Thanks...anybody know of a good, I guess, WM tutorial video for me? lol...I guess I just need to learn the basics or something...
Hi have you loaded the software that came with your phone ? everything that you should need to connect to your pc is on the disc, i think the only other file you might need is if i am right windows net work, there is some instructions in the connect programe to get your setup up and running, i hope this helps i am new to the x1 aswell and i am still learning, only had the phone 2 weeks but liked it so much i bought another one, so i have one on each major network here in New Zealand, also where else can you buy a phone at a decent price and have, a differnt theme on your phone everyday of the week, these cooks are awsome and create some awsome programmes.
there is tons of information here if you cant find it by searching then ask i am sure that no one will bite your head off as most are good guys/gals, i have not had as much fun with anything since my Amiga days, but now i am showing my age lol but what the hell have fun with it and you will only learn by trying and playing with the phone, you can allways return it back original factory settings and you lose nothing apart from your contacts which will be on your sim card and emails will be lost or you can use SPBackup to backup any thing that is important.
i had better shut up as im rambling lol
If you want to connect your phone to your computer using activesync, start up 'Windows Mobile Device Center'
you can do so by going to start > and typing windows mobile device center. The shortcut will show up by itself.

WinMo is so easy. In fact any OS is easy. Just play with your phone and mess with the settings now and then.
Sorry I don't think anyone has answered even one of your questions.
If you keep WiFi on, it is as left on and thus consuming battery life as long as the phone is not sleeping (i.e. screen off), and it is the preferred connection used when there is a WiFi signal available. WiFi will never turn on by itself if left on the off position however.
If you turn off the 3G or EDGE data connection, they will reactivate automatically when needed. It doesn't take much battery life to keep the Internet connection running though, and it is necessary if you are pushing email to your device.
As for Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC), Windows Update will not automatically download the software on its own, and I'm sure the majority of us don't remember the file name of WMDC. So did you download the file you are specifying from this portal? http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
I recently purchased a mint condition used locked Tilt (running Windows Mobile 6.0) for my daughter who is using the device for SMS and phone only; she is using the phone on my AT&T family plan and has no Internet connectivity via the AT&T network although she does use WiFi connectivity while at home and school.
During the course of the first month of ownership she has mentioned that the phone has become unresponsive while typing SMS and sometimes it will just stop working.
I'm wondering if I should go ahead and install AT&T's Windows Mobile 6.1 but I'm very unsure how to proceed even though I've read the stickies. I've located the software update on the HTC site, however I've not read a concise step-by-step tutorial. I'm using a PC laptop running XP SP3 to perform the update.
I'd greatly appreciate someone (spinning me around) and pointing me in the correct direction or suggesting alternates to getting my daughter's phone functioning as well as possible.
Many thanks in advance!!!
I was hoping that at least one special person would provide some direction...no one???
Is there another board where I can post this question and except some direction?
Thanks again!
In the ROM development section, there is a great tutorial for flashing custom ROMs. The stock AT&T 6.1 ROM is a great place to start (download it from HTC's website if you haven't already). For that one all you have to do is plug in the phone and run the .exe on your PC, HTC has instructions for that.
Here's the tutorial for custom ROMs:

thanks Chambo622...
...I will use the stock AT&T 6.1 ROM and see if that cures the issues...I appreciate your assistance!
Just a quick post here, I dont know if the 6.1 will fix your daughters problem but when I went from 6.0 to 6.1 my keyboard did seem to work better. Prior to the upgrade to 6.1 my "L" was verrrry hard to get to respond, almost had to try to push it through the back of the phone to get it to register on the screen... after the upgrade to 6.1 its just a matter of pressing it like all the other keys... hope that is at least a little bit of encouragement...
Good Luck !

Coincidentally, I received notice of your feedback just as I was beginning the upgrade process from 6.0 > 6.1 so thanks for the confidence that the upgrade would solve the problem!
The upgrade went very smoothly and the non-responsive keyboard seems to be functioning perfectly so it looks like my daughter can resume her quest to send 5 figures of text messages per month!
Many thanks again to all for holding my hand!
Hello everyone,
I would like to ask you if you know a way I can remove the U2M8107 and the effects it has from my HD7. The problem is I never put this in my phone and I do not know what it does. I know that I can't update my phone now for some months as the OS version I have is 7.5.
Additionally to this I have a startup screen of a car that says "Designed by ansar".
I know this is a noobish question but search engines only brought me to this forum.
Thank you.

Update:
Okay I managed to update my phone using a cab file I found here after reading for some hours ^^. The tutorials are very helpful and detailed. The only problem is that now under the information of the phone itself, it says it is a Nokia Lumia 800. However I'm sure it was for a HD7. Anyway the phone is working fine but this is the only issue.
