Howdy from an abuser (who knows about nibbles) - Introductions

Hi guys/gals,
I'm an old hand at DOS & Win up through XP and a passionate Linux distro-hopper who keeps loosing files for some strange reason... Which may be why I work in a completely different sector now.
I'm here looking for help with an Android phone but if I can give any help I'd be glad to.
Cheers!

i need help with dead xda2i

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 ?

New and lost

Ok so I have a 8925. Love it, but don't want all the AT&T on it so I figured I would flash it....well I ran into the problem where none of the flashing software I have found will work with Linux. I am running Ubuntu and cannot get any of the flashers to work. Also I have STILL having a hard time connecting my 8925 to my computer because of the Ubuntu OS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also is the 8925 info in the Hermes sub-category? or the Herald? I have seen info in both and was a little confused. Sorry if this is the wrong section.
Buy, lend, borrow or steal a XP PC is your best bet. If your is 8925 then you are in the right place. Some of Hermes tweaks and/or tricks still work fine on Kaisers, therefore, you can see some posts.

Questions about windows mobile and android

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

Need a Windows CE Expert

I have a machine that runs on Windows CE. I use it to operate my business. The machine can only be used when it is "loaded" from a telephone line. The company which loads the machines will no longer put loads on the machines. I will run out of loads in a week. I must figure a way to load the machine myself. It is all software based. I can get more information at your request. I'm willing to pay someone who can help me get through this. I appreciate any and all of your help.
Thank you,
Rob

code for bar-code scanner for Rasberry Pi 3 not working on Windows 10 for IoT

Hi,
I am trying to help my little sister with a project she is stuck on. She is trying to get a bar-code scanner to work with a Raspberry Pi 3 (scanner connected via Ethernet). She has found and worked on a piece of code (attached) that works no problem on Windows 10 on her laptop, but it will not work on the Raspberry Pi running Windows 10 IoT Core. The code is written in C# on Visual Studio. When opened on Visual Studio on the Raspberry, the code looks like it doesn't recognize all the functions that it does on the laptop, and it obviously doesn't work.
Any ideas? What to try? What would you recommend for the next steps?
PS: my apologies for the probable lack of useful information and misuse of terminology as I am not familiar at all with any of this. But I really would like to help my sister who is pulling her hair out right now. She is not as comfortable in English as I am, so I figured I would try to post in English and hope that someone can figure out how to get her going with this.
Thank you.
She has spent a lot of time (and frustration) on this and she is a very experienced industrial programmer so I know she tried quite a few things already but I don't know exactly what. I don't have enough expertise myself to know what to ask her and what is important/interesting to share with you. But let me know if you have any specific question and I will definitively relay the questions and answers.
