Hi folks, I've got an sda2 coming which has apparently got wm5 on. I've been using a trinity (spv m700) but thought I'd give smartphones a go. Anyway, to the point, what software and tweaks do you guys recommend. I plan on sim unlocking it, how about app unlock, is this essential? Also, whats a good car mount? Thanks in adavance.

Sat on my desk, charging up as i type.
Is it possible to rip the rom image off and dump it on the M1000 I've also got?
Already upgraded another M1000 using the mystery man rom (and before any one asks, we're an IT company, so we all have one!), just wondering if there's any benefit in pulling stuff off the M2000?
Hello,
I was interested in the HTC W100 remote control, does anyone know if it works on an Hermes?
Thanks.
I have bought one, many sites report it should work with the HTC Tytn. Unfortunately I couldn't get it working. I already tried WM5, WM6 and both updated with the HTC audio cab.
If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, please let me know!
I've emailed HTC about this and asked them if it worked with the HTC tytn, this is there answer.
Dear sir,
Thank you for contacting HTC Europe.
Regarding your query, if you check th HTC shop you will notice that the W100 remote is not listed under the accessories for the HTC TyTN. However, if you update the ROM on your device from WM5 to WM6 you should be able to use this device with the TyTN.
Unfortunately, we are not able to supply you with this update as your device is not an HTC TyTN but the T-Mobile variant of the device, the MDA Vario II. As such you would need to get in touch with T-Mobile in regards to getting a ROM update to WM6. This is naturally dependant on wether T-Mobile offer this update.
Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html
Best regards,

The funny thing is that my mobile runs WM6 and it still doesn't work.
The controller does work on a HTC Tytn 2, I've tested this myself yesterday.

If HTC said this then I guess there are no hardware problem, just software, which perhaps can be fixed with the rigt information from a Kaiser.
I'm interested in this to if someone can get it to work with Tytn.
i was thinking this when i first noticed the remote online..
lets make this happen!
I have bought the same headset and it dosen't work. What am I doing wrong?
same case here. I bought myself a E100 today & my hermes won't recognize it!! The included driver won't install, it said the existing driver on my phone is the latest one.
Any help?? Thanks in advance!!
I have a HTC 6800 AKA Titan AKA Mogul AKA P4000
and ive updated my rom with a 2.16 custom version(the last untill now) that has HTC audio manager as a default player so when press play on the w100 it automaticaly starts HTC AUDIO MANAGER and not WMP but there is still that mute button that does nothing ... anyway what i wanted to say is that i'm sure that there is a solution for everyone .. we just have to wait till someone like colonel00 or anyone else buy that controller and hopefully find this value (.reg file)
For more info or testing just PM me
The same here. Just purchased E100 wired remote control and it is not recognized by HTC TyTN at all. I am on WM6.
I have installed the driver "Y-cable_HERM1_070316.CAB" first from CD and then from HTC website. It had no effect.
Did anyone find a solution?
W100 Headset
I have also purchased this headset, and can not get it to work with the Tytn. I'm usings Schaps ROM (great ROM BTW), I can not find the HTC Audio Driver update to see if this solves the problem, so if anyone has the cab for this I would appreciate you posting it, I can't find it on HTC's site.
I have also tried to use just a USB to 3.5mm adapter and can't get that to work either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Craig
edit: I have managed to track down the HTC-Audio Driver update files. They would not install on my phone automatically so I had to extract them and try to manually install the driver. I tried installing many different drivers from the package, but most would either have no effect/ stop audio working all together/ or stop the phone from booting. I found one in the bundle that installed and at least gave me audio through the headphones and made the microphone work but still no remote buttons. That driver is Remote_controller_Y-cable_T1_070316.CAB, so at least now I am able to use a standard pair of headphones with the Tytn, would still love to get the remote working with it though.
I just bought a orange spv m3100 from ebay and am waiting for it to arrive, probably around wednesday, at which time i will reflash it with wm6 black shadow. Anyways, im also getting a new pc and ps3, so im getting a bluetooth keybaord, as it can work with both. I was wondering if it will work out of the box with the refalshed tytn.this may seem like a stupid question, but i think its relevant.
thanks in advance
rory
I used my microsoft bluetooth keyboard with my TyTn with orginal rom no problem. In fact it was harder to get it to work with the PC!
Hi all
I just wanted your views on what to do with my Qtek 8500.
I'm about to buy a brand new Qtek 8500 sim free for £65.
I just wanted to know exactly how i should proceed in regards to upgrading it to the latest ROM and WM6 with the newest radio for the best coverage. This includes any spl things and CID unlocking (though i do wonder is it CID unlocked due to it being sim unlocked?)
Any thoughts and suggestions on how i proceed would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks all
Dan
Had a look around and decided to get a I-mate smartflip, now from what i have read its the exact same as a Qtek 8500 except the name on the front and a few screens and software changes but still the same WM5.
However as this has a smaller ROM as the 3125, will installing the clean edition of the WM6 rom here work well or will the phone be really really slow?
I'm aware i will have to CID unlock the phone and that looks simple according to this forum but any points on how to flash the new radio also off the WM6 page would be helpful.
Thanks
Hey, good to here another joining in the STRTRK parade lol
I got the Qtek 8500 from expansys about a week ago to supplement my tytn 2 (for the £65 bargain!) and have since cid unlocked and installed Erofish's WM6 rom, the latest version also includes Office 6.1 which is very handy, I thoughrally recommended it, it runs very fast and very stable, its made the phone so much better. with just windows mobile 5 it felt old and horrid but now it feels great, its even a bit faster. I'd go for it, the grace of winmo 6 is great
I've just updated my MTeoR to WM6 and thats brought it back into life too. thanks for replying, as a new user i am insterested to see what you think of the battery life?
As a previous windows smartphone user i am used to charging up the phone every night, is that something we have to get used to with the StrTrk ?
thanks again
My 3125 lasted 3-4 days between charges, with moderate use. If you are talking 4-5 hours a day on ANY cell phone you will probably have to charge it daily. Also, there are two battery sizes (I don't know which size the 8500 has). The larger battery has a back cover that is not completely flat. This is the battery I had (standard on the 3125). The small battery will probably only last 2/3 as long.

Qtek 8500 has 750mAh battery
Cingular 3125 has 1100mAh battery
Mine arrived today and I got WM6 on it... following the various guides here - only to discover that the internal speaker doesn't work!
did you buy a qtek 8500 or the smartflip as its cheaper?
also which WM6 did you go for? the one with working GPRS or the other one that doesn't work with GPRS ?
I bought the qtek as the imate wasn't on expansys list yesterday... and I went for the Gnatgosplat light rom - and gprs worked fine on that.
Mines arrived, i am pleased with it, didn't realise that the keypad was so huge but overall impressed. just gotta find the time to put WM6 on it now.
Just pruchased a 950 mAh battery off ebay for my new imate smartflip, which i love by the way!!
anyone got one of these batteries running and if so how much more charge can i expect over the 750mAh?
thanks
Hi all,
Yes I'm new, and i was wondering if I could have a bit of help please?
I have a Neon200, and the Nike stuff obviously doesn't work for it. Saying that however, I have gone through the Neon Hard-SPL, from here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377260
and then i upgraded to a russian 6.1 (which is also on the board somewhere), and now plan to move to 6.5. I found one here, but apparently will have issues with the keyboard and the camera button.
My question is, is anyone else working on a ROM for wm6.5 that will work on my neon200? Or is there anyway to get a niki rom to work on it?
Thanks, and sorry if I've just asked a bunch of noob questions.
I got the 6.5 rom to work on my phone (albeit with limited physical key support)
But now I'm having the issue of my sim not working in there (no service, denied, searching..)
Think this is because the radio I have for it now doesn't work.
Can anyone help me with that?
My phone is the Neon200 (duh..), from Telstra NextG in Australia.
Cheers guys
Yeah.. I've been poking around a bit as well.. I think the official HTC image is only 6.1.. so if anyone can port the Niki 6.5 over it would be great!
Hmm...
It may be an issue with thephone. I still have it, and also have a 16 key NIKI100 now, as well as the touch diamond.
Think i'll just sell the other ones and stick with the diamond.
