i posted this in general discussion, but no one ever replied so im gonna try my luck here. i have the HTC Tital/Sprint Mogul/6800 whatever you want to call it and i wanted to know if there was a way to keep the screen orientation set on landscape so even when you slide it open and close it, it stays on landscape.
it's probably a very simple regedit, but i dont know where to look. thanks in advance.
Not to take anything away from this great community and forum, but it seems that most of the information here is geared towards GSM phones. Try out ppcgeeks.com for CDMA questions especially dealing with the Apache and Titan.
Problem is, this is a great source for all things HTC related, regardless of what frequencies and protocols it uses to connect to the cell towers.
I have a Wizard and a Tornado, and I've been here for a while learning new info and contributing whenever I could to enhance the overall Windows Mobile community.
I'm strongly considering jumping to a Titan because of competitive data plans they offer with it (far less than any US gsm provider), and I've seen threads of US users who feel the same.
I'm already familiar with the forum here, as are they, and we're all a little annoyed that the moderators have not yet allowed a new section for the Titan here. After all, the apache DOES have its own section...
I also agree that the titan should have its own forum here. I have also asked over on ppcgeeks and SU and no one has an answer.
I figured someone on here might know or it might already be fixed on another device and could be applied to the titan.
anyone know of anyway to do this yet?
hi
I get my i-mate PDAL last sunday, and upgrade it to wm6.
can anyone tell me my pdal is in Prophet catalog?
thanks.
No it is definitely not a prophet. (Just look at the picture next to this forum on the forums list)
In fact a quick look on pdadb.net reveals that it is not an HTC phone.
So please do not try to upgrade it using any ROMs for the Prophet because you will destroy your phone!
thank you first.
but i look for whole this forum ,and can't found any catalog like i-mate pdal. so, if i want to upgrade/change my wm6, where can i join?
As I wrote before - i-mate PDA-L is not made by HTC!
This forum deals with HTC phones, though sometimes discussion of other WM based devices like iPaq takes place in general forum.
So there is not and won't be a catalog for your device (sorry we can't open a sub forum for every phone out there).
I have not seen any such discussion on PDA-L and as far as I know no one is cooking ROMs for it.
You are welcome to ask in general forum and perhaps someone will give you more information then I can.
I'm so sorry that i don't know this forum is just talk about HTC machine.
I'll go to general forum for some answer what i need.
thank you again.
I ask, because seeing this forum, is the first time I've seen that mentioned.
In another forum (not XDA-dev) I saw the manufacturer listed as Inventec.
And in an HP IPAQ forum. someone asked if the HTC mini-USB to 3.5 or 2.5 audio adapters would work on the IPAQ 910. Someone else answered "no", saying that the HTC mini-USB ports are eleven pin, while the one on this IPAQ is ten pin.
If the phone were made by HTC, I would think that they would use the same kind of mini-USB port, as on their other phones.
Is it known for sure, that the IPAQ 910 was manufactured by HTC?
Has anyone here tried one of the mini-USB audio adapters made for HTC, on their IPAQ 910? If so, how well did it work?
HTC chargers seem to work.
Thanks for your feedback.
no it is not made by HTC.
for audio adapter , see here

Why is it listed here then, under "Other HTC manufactured phones-Sable"?
So, do you agree with those who say that the mini-USB audio adapters made for HTC phones, will not work well with the IPAQ 910?
It's OK to use the same chargers and sync cables though, no? They seem to work--I hope not harming the phone in some way.
because we don't have other better place to meet & group the threads together haha, so people just just post here for any HP IPAQ i suppose
anyway adapter made for HTC won't work on 91x because the pin-layout is different for audio.
It is ok to use the same cable for charge and sync because the charge and data transfer is a common standard in mini-usb. No audio is defined in the standard so manufacturer define their own-standard
Thanks for the info.
It is weird then, that manufacturers make their own proprietary headphone port, and then do not even make an adapter for it.
Shame on HP for doing so! (At least HTC makes an adapter for theirs, including one that has another mini-USB for charging, and a 2.5 and 3.5 headphone ports.)
-----------
Ha Ha. So the "HTC Sable" is a non-existent phone, an imaginary HTC phone, to list non-HTC phones under, so that the board admins don't know that people are discussing a (GASP!) non-HTC phone on their HTC-only board?
Oops, I hope they don't read this thread!
----------------------------------------------
By the way, Keyx, since you seem to be very technically knowledgeable, if you have a chance, please take a look at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3619813&posted=1#post3619813
and let me know, if you have any insight into the question.
If I had known about this board, I might have posted it here. Not knowing, I posted it in the general WinMo board.
-
HTC Sable exist and made by HTC, it is one of the older IPAQ model, i forgot the model number though
EDITED: look at the text under the main title of this subforum: Also known as HP iPAQ hw69xx (hw6915 / hw6925 / hw6945 / hw6965 / hw6910 / hw6920 / hw6940)
Traditionally a few IPAQ were made by HTC but not 61x/91x this time
I don't have a data plan now so can't really look into DUN issue..may be a few weeks after i can,definitely not now though

There is an IPAQ 910/912/914 forum there now, but zero posts there yet. I guess people are reluctant to post, if they think no one will read and respond there.
Someone has to start posting there........
I used to work on the HTC Juno (T-Mobile Shadow) in the Smartphone General section of xda-developers, and after a year or so they finally gave us our own sub-forum. They may eventually do the same here. You're right that there's a bit of an HTC-only vibe with the way the forum is organized, but certainly I've seen Toshiba and Samsung-manufacturered device ROMs around here too.
The benefits of staying with xda-developers are clear: we use the same tools and methods that are used for HTC devices. Not to mention that despite the new iPAQs having a different manufacturer, they share much of the same kinds of underlying hardware (i.e. Qualcomm chipset, ARM processor). Those who own an HP 61x or a 91x are likely to have owned an HTC device in the past and may own an HTC device in the future. It is nice for us to stay with the same community
The big irony, of course, is that we've seen far more progress on xda-developers for the 61x and the 91x than we have for the (older and uglier) iPAQ h6300, which was actually made by HTC. Just ask brewhoxs - he'll tell you all about how there's no custom ROM developed for that device at all
Maybe rather than jumping to other forums we should put the pressure on xda-devs moderators to give us a sub-forum of our own.

Well that's the problem .. the guys at WinMoDev made an agreement with XDA to keep out each others fishingpond. XDA for HTC-phones and WinMoDev for other. Although I must agree I haven't seen much life on WinMo, the forum being many times down for some reason.
So wether we keep 'hiding' in the Sable-forum, or move over depends on the posters and on the readers, of course.
Just my 2c

Really? This is the first I've heard of such a mutual no-compete agreement between the voluntary operators of two free forums.
Interesting. Not to toot anyone's horn, but we'd probably get a successful one-shot transition if keyx, sergiorus, ke_steve_le, Montecristo and myself all moved at the same time.
And maybe we should? Except winmodevelopers.co.cc says they are moving to new phpbb forums that will be at winmodevs.com. Plus when I visit the existing site it tries to install an unknown ActiveX control. Not cool!
Haha we should shop around wmexperts.com and ppcgeeks.com for competing trade offers

Hi,
Here's the topic in which Jay mentionned it ... The forum is still on the original *.forumer.com, so indeed rather confusing.
I use Firefox, no ActiveX seen or heared
Dirk
hey guys
im sorry to see you have had isues with the forum
at one point there was a very confusing time as we were gonna move to another brand of forum but that fell through, as for the downtime that was due to us perfecting the forum
one change that was implemented though as we have taken away all of the device forums this was mainly due to fatc that more and more device makers are bringing out winmo phones this makes it very hard for me and the other admins to keep track of
also we needed a place for non htc android devices to go
HOWEVER
the forum is up and running if you fancy moving there now
http://winmodevs.com
all the non htc devices are still welcome
also just to note the only reason there isnt a lot of posts is because if people dont se others helpoing they wont post so basically i need you devvers to get all you stuff moved over and theyll be a who load of new posters
Just wondering, this is the HTC Sable forum, yet it's been taken over by unrelated phone posts.. TONS of them..
I come here from time to time looking for info for my iPAQ 6945, and every visit, there's more and more off-topic stuff here, and it makes it harder and harder to find Sable-related posts.. Why is this?
Eric
Beacuse both 91x and 61x owners are here
e.g. I have bricked my 914c while flashing with a 614c ROM My mistake...but think about it...
well once upon time when 61x/91x is out people thought it is also manufactored by HTC so they start dicussing it here. Eventually people figured out it is not made by HTC but there are already several threads about the tools and roms for them so the trend just continue. At some point there is also post in the "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking" forum but gradually people just post here as it is easier to find info about 61x/91x here.
So not much can be done..there are several options:
1. keep it here
2. move all 61x/91x post to "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking"
3. move to other site
given we have 4+1 roms here, move will only work if all rom chef agree on that..

Hey Shep/Eric,
Sorry for the 61x/91x busy-ness going on here! But please don't move us, we'd have no where else to go. Well, maybe there'd be other places to go, but xda is my favourite! I used to have two HTC devices, but was scared about making the move to an Ipaq because I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to drop custom roms on my phone ever again. But when I found out xda had this sub-forum for "Sable" devices, I was overjoyed, and continue to be now that keyes, benjaminries, montecristo, and anyone else I missed, have continued to provide awesome support for our devices!
How about we all just consider ourselves part of the Sable family, with the 61x and 91x devices considered Sable offspring? xda is hands down the best forum in the world for our devices!
Honestly, there is very little anything these days about the older iPaqs. This forum would be pretty dead if it didn't become used for the newer HP models .
The bottom line is while clearly the 61xc and the 91xc phones aren't htc phones nor Sables, I don't see that any harm is being done by discussing them here .
What about me? I think there's no one expert ROM care or enable to make WM OS ROM Upgrade for my device hp iPAQ h6365/h63xx abandon in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497826 Poor of my device ... !

I hear you, it just seems weird there's no dedicated forum (here on xda-developers, I'm not saying leave the site, sheesh! )
I've had my 6945 for 2 years I think. I still like it, but I wish there was a ROM update for it. That's one of the main reasons I check here from time to time. What exactly is needed for a WM6/6.1/6.5 ROM for us? I keep seeing stuff about 'we need a full rom', etc. Certainly this could be had by now, with all the other WM6.x phones on the market, no?
I'll start a new thread with my current problem though, no one will be looking here for it.
Eric
Okay great thanks Shep! lol
Maybe if you make a request thread, someone may be able to work on it for ya...I'm sure you're not the only one!

Yeah, we're always hope to not being alone in this forum, including me!
we're very grateful that xda-developers have been extremely kind.
xda-dev have been so helpful in every way not just to xda/htc users but TO ALL Pocket PC users of all brands!
This site is such an asset to Microsoft and to the Pocket PC world, that the contributors here should be rewarded/donated by these companies in the millions of dollars, I think! Because so many of the faults and problems created by them (unintentionally of course) have been so generously repaired, fixed, mended etc by the selfless contributors here.
Hope you can extend this generosity to us other users with not enough numbers to start a meaningful site such us the ipaq users.
thank you so much.
hw69xx Done
We al saw it coming, at first I was pissed, but when you really think about it, There is no helpfor Sable / Beetles users. Although this thread is overrun by newer hp models, In all actuality, what harm is this doing to the Sables Owners.
I am sorry as I searched the forum for this and actually found 1 hit, but it seems that thread is removed.
So I am thinking about getting the cheap T-Mobile Pulse as second device to try some Android and experiment. As it is Android it should be easy to tweak and give it ROM threatment.
But I don't know how it works here. I know my blackstone gets good attention, but all HTC phones get that over here.
So I was wondering because of the different manufacturer Huawei, will the Pulse get a seperate forum as well and would we see ROM development there, or is this device just to small?
I guess otherwise it would be smarter to wait for a bigger device, which is accessable for a wider audience.
No it wont XDA Developers is purely for HTC Devices.
Please in future post in correct sub forum.
Closed.
