TyTN WIKI

TyTN goes wiki
A wiki page has been opened for the TyTN
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Please look here before asking questions on the forum.
All users can edit this page so you can all add information thus making it a better source of information.

A bit of a old news to anyone who has half a brain.
pof has been taking good care of the wiki for a while now.

Hi - just klicked throught the wiki and there are many links/downloads not working: page not found and so on...
Regards,
Martin

Yes a lot of things screwed after the forum migrations. I already asked the site admins if there's a way to fix it, so they are aware of it and I hope will fix it soon.

Maybe nice to add to the WIKI: I've got me a brand new Vario II sr 642F, so far problem free, stylus feels perfect when pulling out, keybord is smooth yet firm and tidly around all corners... no problems yet... knock on wood

one question though guys that i wouldnt mind answered... Im in australia and looking at buying a TyTn but obviously HTC arent supplying them directly, so its IMATE or DOPOD, now DOPOD are saying their model is Bluetooth 2.0 and IMATE says theirs is 1.2, but arent these the same devices the JASJAM and 838Pro??

thank you.......

Linux & hermes
Hi,
Is not possible to run Linux yet on HTC TyTN. I`ll must wait for a release??
If I must wait is there a roadmap for the linux port??
I hate M$
Thanks

Heya guys,
can we get a sticky to the wiki back on the Hermes Upgrade page?

Hey guys thanks for the wiki and all the great information on the forum. It's all been great in helping me change from my Blackjack to the Hermes! Thanks all!

Thanx
Hi all...
I'm about to get the Dopod 838Pro, and am very grateful that this sort of a forum exists... I am very scared, i don't particularly want to stuff it up... but knowing what sorts of updates and tweaks exist is GREAT
Keep up the good work, and hopefully I will be able to contribute

Hello,
I have a french SPV M3100.
I've seen on wiki page ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms ) that it was missing french SPV M3100 extended rom.
I don't know if that can be of any help, but I've retrieved these files out of the SPV.
Would it be interesting for anyone to have these files uploaded to the xda ftp ?
Unfortunatly, I can't get access to the ftp (timeout), might be because, at work, I have a proxy that might block ftp access.
But tell me, I should be able to do it @ home.
Cheers from France.
-Raph-

Is there a way of saving the wiki to my local hdd and reading it there? I'm frequently away from home and it would be handy to have the resource to hand

There may be freeware ways of doing this but I have used this and I've just tested it on the Hermes wiki with a link depth of 2 and it worked fine. It has a trial period and a free download so nothing lost if it's not what you're looking for:

First off, Welcome to The Forum
And for you're question, I can see it here no problem. Is it just the wiki that's not loading? If you're running Firefox and have NoScript or any other "Security" tool then check that it is not blocking anything?!
Let us know of you're progress, though.
Cheers

Hi Ashraf, and welcome to the forum
I don't see what this has to do with the missing wiki. You'd get a better response from the board if you put this in a new thread.
If you go back to the main HERMES thread (which is where this message is at and click on the
button you will be able to create a new thread.

You didn't read enough or search enough and with an attitude like that I wouldn't help you anyway. The methods are here if you look around.

No he's not a smart a**. He's actually a quite helpful member of this forum. His suggestion to search is that standard answer by anyone who's been around and/or contributed to this forum for any amount of time.
The point of the Search function is to try and get newbies and the inexperianced to look for the answers themselves and not make other members repeat the same information over and over for every new member that is either too lazy to search and read or just doesn't know that the Search function exists. The information posted here is so far and above what your carrier or software or hardware vendor could provide you for any price and it's available for FREE. So respect the forum and respect the members or go call your service provider for answers. (HA)
You are in no position to tell anyone, especially a Senior member to "shut up" if they don't have an answer.

@evilhomer - thanks for the support.
@wratran - so the seaching or reading is working for you obviously since you found one of those links I was talking about.
To the topic - I wish we could get the UA bypassed in WM6 PIE since I do not like NetFront. I think pappl is looking into it.

wpbear, have you tried this solution to the UA problem? PAPPL and some Europe users were having the same issues and he made a .zip with some files to replace the default files that are keeping PIE from sending out the changed UA in the registry

I am happy to report this works and I will be posting two cabs shortly to make this install the two files and make the reg fix. One cab will be just the fix and the other will be a realplayer all in one fix.
EDIT: Here are the CABS
EDIT- Cabs removed- the fix by pappl causes some to have email problems. If you still want his fix since it works for most people then go to his thread.

Glad it works for Cingular Video as well. Nice work making the .cab files!

Exactly what has changed in this forum when people who are upstanding members of this community, like wpbear are put down and attacked by "big shots" who want to show they are better than the others on here? wpbear's comments were valid and to the point. It's really quite annoying on a **developers** web site to have the same questions asked over and over again. wratran--get over yourself. So, you can search. Yay. How about you post the results of your search without the person attacks next time, huh?
This forum is NOT for kiddies who are just learning how to make a phone call. It is, in my opinion, a forum designed for DEVELOPERS who actually understand what they are doing! There are n00bie forums around that will fit you better. HowardForums.com comes to mind...

I rest my case....
you noticed wpbear finally post a link to help a member...instead of making smart AS* remark. Look at his first response after the question was asked...and see how obnixious he was...
The search function on this forum does not work very well. I did not get that link by using the search command.

Since I have still not upgraded to WM6 (holding out for WMXL 3.0), I can confirm it works on WM5 AKU 3.3 with PIE. Awesome work guys, I really didn't like Netfront and now it's bye-bye gone!

Huge problem with this fix with outlook email not opening. Email list opens and then the message will try to open but it freezes. Have to close poutlook to get out of it and still can't view emails until HR. I veriefied it is was by installing each app I Had one a a time. I havenot tried this again with the manuall fix and checking email. I will try later.
Edit-The webview dll is causing the email and sms problem but without it the favorites links in pie do not work.

Ugh... yeah, I can definitely confirm that problem!
Is it possible to fix without a hard reset? (I haven't looked inside your cab yet.) I just got all my apps reinstalled and set up on the latest LVSW!

some reason i did not have the outlook problems.
i am using wm6 black 1.2 version with netfront 3.3 and shogun realplayer. i followed the instruction from lokemup and it works.

to many things to comment on here... so i will just tell everyone to place nice or i will lock this thread, since there was already a massive thread on this....

WM6 on Artemis??

I have a T-Mobile MDA3 Compact....
is it possible to get Windows Mobile 6 Working on this device??

already one thread about it. use search, dont make mess

There is developed discussion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290039
and one more thing, upside is search button for next time.

Maybe users are not aware that WM6 is also known as 'Crossbow' and therefore requesting WM6
Maybe an option for admins to change the topic titel of that topic to reflect both names?

sticky it too.

NOOBIE here w/ a Few Q's

title says it all. I have been browsing for a few days, on this great forum, before posting to find an answer but to no avail.
1. How can I connect Active sync via bluetooth and/or wifi. Currently I am using a Dell latitude D610(please no jokes..work laptop) with integrated bluetooth. I have tried every conceivable option except for the one that works apparently. I've partnered the devices and when trying to connect from the laptop my phone keeps denying the request.
2. I want to also customize mine with a 'cooked' ROM(I believe that's the terminology) but what are the best one's out there???????...and once I flash it can I still install my apps from a spb backup file? I still want to put the 'Iphone' theme on it...I like the dialer...also the 'Slide2Lock'.
3. Will I also have to re-hack the registry for AD2P upgrade 'bitpool=48' deal all over again or can I use a back-up'd registry I made with PHM RegEdit?
4. How can I tell what SPL/IPL version I have?
BTW - I have Hermes 8525 w/
ROM version: 2.15.502.3(latest official HTC ROM)
Radio version: 1.40.30.00
I've seen people with higher radio versions.....what advantage does this give? And does this require a ROM upgrade or is it a seperate upgrade/program(.cab)?
Its not that I'm new to hacking...I've also hacked my 2 PSP's with custom firmware, game-boots, waves, & Icons here:
PSP1:
halo3 custom
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQVyypNVIbM
PSP2:
gears of war custom:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mBJvwFXX7Q
oh and please no flaming on the vid's used my sh***y kodak camera.
Sorry for all the NBISH questions but also wanted to say HI & great/informative site!!
Any help to the questions above is greatly appreciated!!

First of all most of these questions have been answered elsewhere. Please search for the answers before starting new threads.
1. Right click activsync icon and select "connection settings." / Allow connections from bluetooth.
2. The choice of cooked rom depends on the person. It only takes a few mins to flash one so try them and decide on your own. Other people may like ones you dont. DOnt know about the SPB backup but I assume it might not go as planned.
3. There are apps around that will do the reg hack for you. Pimp My Black is one of them.
4. Hold down the Power (right side) and OK (left side) buttons and push the reset button on the bottom in with the stylus. You will get a screen that will display both.

There are no best ROM's out there. Yes, you can reinstall whatever you have on your PDA. This has been answered in previous threads. Please read before posting.

This has also been answered. The latest WM6 ROMS do not require these keys as they are dynamically adjusted.

Two tips... READ READ READ READ then SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH then READ READ READ READ...
Cheers mate.

Just a quick note. Don't rely on SPB Backup. When backed up on WM5 and migrated to WM6, you'll have a plethora of problems. My advice, backup manually.

What can a newbie do?

Hi all, another noob!
I've done a few searches to no avail so a simple question with lots of possible answers I'm sure:
As I have just received my O2 XDA Orbit, what, if anything, would the Moderators/Admin guys recommend I do to improve the performance of my Orbit (not that I am aware of any limits so far) or what essential bits of software should I have? Please be aware that my knowledge of computers, PDA's and all this other techno-wizardry could be written on the back of a nano-bot in large font, so please, it will have to be kept to a very very simple level.
If I am too dumb to be able to do anything other than enjoy what I have, please feel free to say so!

You could try reading the wiki - or using the search button for a start.....

But U guess that being a noob you have the honour of asking 1 silly question!!!
Enjoy the forums.

You see, one stupid question and I get access to something I wouldn't have known to look for. Now all I have to do is understand wtf it's all about. Never heard of a wiki before so I'm not sure what to do about that. That link looks great, but again I have no idea how to utilise it.
Sometimes, some of you guys forget just how difficult it is for noobs to this game!
Thanks though.

Since you are not looking for anything particular, using the search would be useless - the wiki is good but has many information for advanced noobies so why don't you start with reading all the threads that you find to be interesting.
I'd recommend you to go to pocketpcmag.com and check out the "best sites" section and start reading about pdas in general, download some apps and get to know Windows Mobile. Try your first registry hack or simply take a look inside to find out how it funtions.
When you have managed this (could take a month or more) then pick a ROM and flash it to your device. Before you do this be sure to do use the USPL patch and make sure you are doing everthing right BEFORE you do it! When your device is "bricked" you probably need help from somebody in the forum. It's better to have a working backup plan before you try that.
I think Meschle's ROM is a good start if you ever wanna try because he included the USPL patch to be sure that uploading his ROM doesn't mess with your pda.
Have fun using this great pda!

Thanks for that...things do start to become clearer. I will check out that web site and I think I now realise that this site is more for advanced users than complete newbies like me...sorry!
I will try a registy hack (once I find out how to do it... )
Thanks for your reply! <beer>
