Goodbye Hermes! - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Dear all,
I want to thank all of the developers that kept the dream alive of being able to use our outdated device in this time of snapdragons and WP7. We had a good ride but it is time to move on... Recently I got a HD2 and I am experimenting on that (still can't get used to the lack of a hardware keyboard...). My last rom on the hermes was from my fellow countryman Ansar and I have to say that, personally, it was the best rom I ever tried, if he ever makes a lite rom, I might go back to hermes
Have fun people, and keep the dream alive. The Hermes is hard toy to brake...
Thanks
Jardan

Well this is wierd
Im going from a Touch Pro 2 back to a hermes !! (made redundant dont keep the phone )
and my wife lost our HD2
So Hermes it is
Not really worried it almost seems faster than my TP2 !!!!!

If you want my opinion, try Ansar's rom. it was very fast and stable. But to tell you the truth, I can not compare it with HD2, it is much faster than the Hermes. And becasue I use the hermes as a backup phone, for my second sim, everytime I look at the screen nowdays, it looks soooo small and outdated... dont get me wrong, I loved my hermes but you just can't compare the two devices...
If you want I can exchange your TP2 for my hermes!

it was a work phone and i was made redundant

I was joking mate. Anyway, really you should try ansar's rom. have fun!

Is it possible for windows phone 7 OS to run on Hermes?

No, never.
But you can skin your screen as al lookalike WP7, like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649362
maybe six more WP7-UIs are available, PointUi, ThrottleLauncher, etc.

so sad
I continue to use my

I'm looking at replacing my hermes but not sure what to go for????
HD2 or TP2?????
Or other???
Which would you guys say??

Just wondering, who here uses Heremes over 4 years?

Start a poll to find out!
You can see how many threads there are which shows how many people are using the Hermes.
Ofcourse interest will decrease by time. I just purchased the Galaxy-S (android), but am still amazed but many features of the Hermes with winmo.

I've changed my phone since last spring, I needed a dual sim so I bought an Acer DX900, but sometimes I get out my hermes and I still play with it. I'll never sell it!

I'm never getting a WinsMo or Xperia ever..

Sony is not doing ANYTHING bout the xperia.. have they given up with it? im getting soooooo bored with the phone, theres no new panels etc. i'm never getting a windows mobile phone
http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/palm-pres-new-ness-event-video-now-viewable/
seems to be much much much much better than WinsMo will ever get!
There's alot more to WM than meets the eye you know. The Xperia is hyped with the Panels in mind but it's certainly not the only feature there's alot more that can be done.
I, myself have removed the panels completely, I don't like them and never used them. I currently use the Panels button to open my comm manager so I can change what's on and what's not.
Have you installed any other software for you phone at all? Just a few interfaces to mention for instance:
TouchFlo
SPB Pocket Plus
SPB Mobile Shell
Im sure there's more. The bottom two offer a heck of alot of customization for the "look" of your phone. Skins/Icons. You could have it looking like an iPhone if you wanted, or there abouts.
On top of that there's more programs that you can install than you can shake a stick at. It's much like a PC, the amount of things you can do with it is amazing.
I'll agree there are problems with the device, but the problem with the majority is they always look on the negatives and not the positives. Sometimes the phone is a bit hard to use and after showing a few friends of mine the phone, they have really liked it but I have had to put them off the phone because they without being rude don't have the knowledge to use the phone and be happy with it to it's fullest.
Windows Mobile really is what you make it, some like it, some hate it. It's not the greatest of operating systems for phones and it's probably one of the most hardest to use and learn, but the options you have are well worth the effort.

what's so wrong of posting it here? i think he has the rights to express his feelings.
mate, i hated windows mobile before! yes i did, even though i'm a microsoft "fan" but when i used my X1, i started customizing it in a way that really fits my needs, and now i'm using my phone as a computer which is always in my pocket!
you can find alot of cool stuff in the forum, customize your phone and play arround with it, change all default values (be careful not to change something that will make you hard reset, and always backup). Customize the phone, windows is the most flexible and customizable OS ever (sorry Linux fans).
let me know if you need any help
The thing that concerns ME is that SE and HTC have parted ways, and no longer co-operate.
That means the support level for our HTC-made Xperia X1's is going down the tubes. HTC is the one most likely responsible for firmware upgrades to their hardware, so now that SE and HTC no longer co-operate/partner I highly doubt HTC will be making any firmware updates for our phone.
Consider this... the HTC Touch HD has been released after the X1, yet has already receive one or two firmware updates by HTC to fix various issues. The X1 has received ZERO updates.
SE has basically decided to give up on the Xperia X1 from what we can see, since they moved to a new manufacturer.
Of course, this doesn't mean the great developers at XDA will not be coming out with home brew firmwares and fixes, but it does mean that official support from SE is probably going to be winding down and dying...
why else would a simple fix to the bluetooth problem (which MANY people here have found) is not being pushed out? Because SE doesn't want to pay HTC to release the firmware fix since they no longer co-operate.
Oh well. I hope to be proven wrong, but the fact HTC is pushing out firmware updates for all their devices but NOT the Xperia X1 (despite being released longer) confirms this.

U said it "seems to be much much much much better than WinsMo will ever get!".
R U using it so you knew it is much more better ?
go buy a nokia s40 phone and then use your x1 again. let me know what you like more and would rather use.
I allways look at this that my new X1 is as a toy for Big boy.
Its all abaut somthing changing experimenting tweaking.
I like this .
or just buy nokia 6110 make call, recive call and sleep well in the nights.
I was always under the impression that this was a dsicussion forum for the understanding and development of a set of phones.
Unfortunately lately it's become an area for people with no understanding to moan.

Eeek! That's news to me. I was planning on buying an X1 soon (read: early next month?), but now I'm going to have to reconsider after I send Sony a line of questions. If HTC isn't making the phone anymore, who is? Or is it simply going to go out of stock after the reserves sell?

What a load of crap.
All we know is that HTC won't be building the X2 (or whatever they end up calling it) together. We don't even know what OS is going to run on it.
However it's SE responsibilty for the software, they are working on a new firmware, whether those on branded phone will see it depends on their networks (unless you do a DIY job).
And if SE do need help from HTC with some hardware issues, HTC will need to provided it, they will be under contract and most likely will want to build future models (X3).
HTC is not going to produce "next" Sony Ericsson phone.
HTC still produces XPERIA for Sony Ericcson.

no-one said that,
SE aren't using HTC to develop future phone, it looks like they're using asus instead.. although it could also be that the x2 is android based :0

Lies.....
I have seen what the new Palm Pre can do...it's a good interface but basically that's all it has good interface.
And yes I am impressed but I told myself, I will never buy a Palm because it looks like it has shifted from pda function to a P.O.S. kid's toy ... a competitor to the iphone.
I am looking for a backup device when I don't have the computer, not some stupid kid's toy.
Also...I really really want the Omnia HD...it's multimedia and out of the box experience is great, but AGAIN, symbian add-on software isn't as good. So if I were to buy a Samsung Omnia HD, I would buy it as a PMP, and I would buy a Toshiba TG01 as a Pocket PC.
But for now, Xperia has some qualities of Omnia HD and some qualities of other good and fast windows mobile phones like Toshiba TG01. Obviously Omnia HD doesn't have windows mobile, which I prefer over symbian (I've used symbian S60 first before switch to Windows Mobile), and it's also obvious that Toshiba TG01 doesn't have headphone jack and keyboard like the Xperia. So Xperia is the sort of the best of both worlds for now.
If I had cash I'd buy Toshiba TG01 and Omnia HD seperate...but if only XDA developed for the Toshiva TG01....
If there was a super godlike overkill hybrid phone that was both the Toshiba TG01 and Omnia HD...I would buy that hybrid instead...

How many Magicianb users have we now?

It's 2009 and the magician is kind of 'oldie'
there are phones that surpass it in performance.
I wonder, how many users are still there true to our ol'friend?
Still use mine.
Had it for 4 years. Never had a problem with it & still using the original battery.
Build quality was superb on this device, unlike the crunchy plastic Diamond/Touch Pro.
Only other HTC device to match build quality was the Kaiser.
I have recently sold my work Touch Pro & got my unused Orange Contract Kaiser out of it's box as the crunchy plastic fantastic Pro with it's useless front panel buttons were driving me nuts.
Long live the HTC Legends.
rough boy
all the afternoon i wait for the Armstrong Linux to finish updating...
I have a 2nd hand one...
seems to be a tough bastard the magician, heh?
Mine is now used by my 9 year old son.
i sure would like to see linux on it for the vast amount of software available then...
I'm buyed second hand magician and I like it. The only problem is lack off wi-fi and non-working programs build for wm05/06.
I have Motorola MPx200 too.
I have bought it 8 monthes ago 100$ and now can't see myself whithout it
khaledvic
I have one 4 years old. Battery is giving problem now as the set resets at 37% of battery charge.
It is used by my wife now......
lol
so there are still active Magician users...
I wonder how many would be interested in Linux on them?
and how good a linux could become on a mobile device?
maybe to start an other pool?
I still use it every day. 3 years old. No problems at all. I even don't want a new phone. In the beginning battery life was 4 days, now only 2. That is still more than today's devices. I will use it untill it breaks.
I have also used the latest Diamonds from my work but they cannot convince me. For navigation I have a few PNA's. The magician is only for PDA/Phone as it was designed to be. Rock Solid.
Cheers

not a hard thing to be ;-)
I'm also still using my Magician. And for months I was looking for a new WM fone. It isn't because my Magician is not good anymore, it's just I'd like to have one with a newer OS. I'm a tech-whore sometimes. But now as there is a WM6.1 rom for the Magician I don't see why I need a new "toy".
After more than 3 years of use, second battery and one case change (I dropped it, and it got terrible dents) it works fine for me. Actually I don't know if the battery I'm using is the original or the second one I bought, one of them died and they look identical.
So I guess I'll try the WM6 rom and get a case change for the 2nd time, 'cause I've dropped it again several times, and the batterycover doesn't fit as tight as it used to be anymore and it comes off from time to time causing my Magician to power off.
On ebay the whole 3-parts-case costs only 9 euros, including disassembly tool. 5 euros for a new touchscreen if needed and 15 euros for a 2500mA lipo battery on ebay. That's 30 euros for a "new fone", lots of fun and excitement changing the case myself, and my Magician serving me for 2 more years!
Hello!!!
I can only say that Iam worst than any of you...
Today i bought second-hand Magician!!! ;-)
And Iam totaly new to Win phones and its sooooo interesting for me!
(By) (the) (way), this is my first post!
Cayman,
welcome aboard
I hope You enjoy You phone, and contribute to all using it
Thank U!!!
Iam advanced user of PC Windows platform and mobile phones but only for Symbian and "not so smart ones" ;-)))
Iam totaly new to all Pocket PC/Windows Mobile thingy...If someone have some spare time just to give me some guidelines for using WM i would be gratefull

Bye Bye Nokia,Hello Htc

After 10 years of nokias the n97 finally pushed me over the edge and i am expecting my new hd2 in the post today.Just a question about updating it.After installing the new 1.66 rom do i have to install any other htc official updates or are they all included in the new rom?
Is there a way to check for new updates on the device or do you have to check the htc site all the time?
Also whats this i read about updating the radio.What does this do?
Haha just like my story, my last Nokia was the N97 .. look what they did, they made us nokia users divert to another phone company.
Welcome aboard
Im not sure about the last question, but regarding the first, a fellow good user told me that you most likely not need the official updates, but you can check in the HTC support for the versions they support. Most of them are 1.59 or below, so in that case you dont need them
I think you need to check their support page, or the RSS feed there. Dont know if there is another way.
Hope I helped a bit.
1. First of all congrats to your decision to leave Nokia and move over to HTC - you'll never regret this, I guess...
2. Please use search-function in the future. You have only to install hotfixes that are needed for your ROM-version - so if e.g. on the HTC-page is written sth. like "needed for version <1.6" then you haven't to reinstall these hotfixes again with ROM 1.66 (installation wouldn't work anyway).
3. To check if there are new updates availabel, you have to visit HTC-website (support section) - you can put an RSS-feed onto your phone to check it also - this is my solution. Better it is to visit this thite here XDA-Developers often, and you'll get also informed and beneath this lot of feedback according the updates.
4. RADIO is the firmware for the receiver unit aso. - it is responsible for reception (GSM, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS etc.), very important for battery consumption and also responsible for a couple of other things like sound (not sure about these other things to be honest).
Hope this helps for the beginning.

+1 here
after tons of nokias, and painful waiting 7 months o release date of n97, i said googbye to nokia.
i gues they would need to make space shuttle in a phone to get me back
For me it's the same, too. After Nokia N70 and E90 Communicator, I also went to HTC. But I had two Pocket PCs more than ten years ago (Casio Cassiopeia), so finally meeting Windows Mobile again.
Same here.. My last phone was n97.. Didnt regret after changing to this phone and i just love my HD2 more and more as time goes by..
I was a devoted Nokia man for years, until one day I saw the Touch Diamond and was overcome with lust. I had my Diamond for a while, then a HD, and now the HD2. I can't imagine ever going back to Nokia now, but I'll always be fond of them.

My story almost the same. I had some Nokias, the last one was N95 and I then I bought a HTC Touch Diamond which... I generally hated . But it had a great GPS receiver and was very small so I was using it quite a while (for a year I guess) and now I'm using HD2 and I'm very happy with it although at first I was a little bit sceptic as I wasn't happy with my Diamond. Anyway in general HD2 is a great phone and I didn;t have some irritating problems with it so I would recommend it to anybody.
Same here, After years of Nokia and Symbian.. The N97 made me Mad ..
So here im HtC HD2
And i Love the Phone..
You've all been slow, look below at how long ago I did that move
hello guys i've beeen a hard core nokia user and after 12 yrs of nokia marriage i divorced it when there was no sign of a new communicator.....
same story here. From the N97 to HD2. Best choice ever. Nokia user for about 10years, but its very doubtful that i will ever go back to Nokia again after the N97 experience. The new flagship after the N95 failed bigtime.
Add another one to the list. I was using the Nokia 5530, and I just sold it on Saturday (literally) to help finance my HD2 purchase. I'll soon join the ranks, and as my wife just said to before I saw this post, "I don't want to ever buy another Nokia phone."
I agree. Symbian drove me crazy. None of these models have enough system memory to function well enough. The N97 is a disaster.
I'm glad I found this forum, because otherwise I would not have known how customizable the HD2 really is, and the fact that it runs Windows Mobile would have caused me to shy away from it.
just settings up the new phone . I have got a major problem hope someone can help

should i buy HD2?

I really want a new phone. And hd2 seems to be a great one! I just have a few conserns.
Today I have the TyTN II. Yeah, with the non-existing video drivers. Ive been doing some research and it seems to me like the LEO have some similar problems. I dont want to fall into that trap again, spending money on a phone that doesnt work the way its supposed to.
Also, Windows Phone 7 is around the corner. Is LEO worth delaying a potential wp7 phone, or should i wait to wp7 is out?
Please someone, help me out here. I really dont know what to do.
bumping this, I really need an answer FAST!!
hey there... relax!!! hd2 is a great phone, if you like windows mobile in general... the lack of drivers won't make it slow... having said that, there are some drivers available at the moment, but the cpu is fast enough you won't notice any serious slowness even without using them... wp7 is a different scenario... more or less a different system, with only a few similarities with current windows mobile... it's your call to decide whether you want to wait for wp7, which will take about a year until we get a decent phone... and allways you can be a bit cheeky and see what others report about wp7, after they got it, and then decide if it suits you!!
take care
hello!
If you gonna wait for WM7 you'll wait for 1 year exactly. Phones with WM7 will be out in the end of the year...with about 50 apliccation and games...
I will pass on WM7 in autumn...2011...because than will be at least 5000 apps

Htc has stated this week that they would make a WP7S handset by the end of the year. You gotta consider that wp7s is a totally new and different OS (not just the ui but kernel too) and some cons about it have already began surfacing on the net (no multitasking, no copy/paste, closed system apps management ecc). There is no single and simple answer to your question. It's really up you whether to keep using a stable, open and customizable system such as win 6.5.x or jump on the wp7s bandwagon and accept therefore its limitations. One thing's for sure though: by the time Wp7s hits the market, htc will have released devices way more powerful than the HD2..
It's really hard to give an advice.
I bought the HD2, now sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm very disappointed.
So there is no clear Yes or No.
My first phone from HTC was the OrbitI. With this phone I was happy
from the first day I got it. Since 2 ½ years the Orbit works great without
any problem.
Now I have to spend really much time to get the HD2 working correct.
If I had known this before, I would have waited 1 year.
man this is a very important question i'm too having problems should i buy the hd2 or wait till second year i really don't know what to do
I you have time, money and patience, buy it
if your concerns are wp7s, just wait a while and see how this works out: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2381
What are the downsides? Would you buy it if you knew?

My first android mobile

I aiming to buy a second hand G1 as my first android mobile. Was aiming to buy desire, but I use music a lot so waiting for a android walkman from sony erisson . I have a few doubts for my first android mobile,
(1) can the G1 stay in battery for at least 2 days(I don't use 3G, i only use 2 g networks) ?
(2) what is rooting can it reverted back ?
(3) When a android releases a update can I install it right away or should i use a specific one ?
Am using sony ericsson w960i. now cant find good android phone to upgrade
Thanks
1- its possible, but you would have to keep it at min. brightness etc. The simplest fix is an extended battery, it makes the phone a little heavier but can double or triple battery life.
2- Rooting is access to superuser commands etc. When you are rooted, you can install faster, cooler, better firmwares, or themes, and you can also tether etc. It takes no more then 30 minutes to root, and you can unroot with just one file (rc29). If you do decide to root, go with CM's stable releases, or try a hero rom.
3- You have to install one that is compatible with the G1. for example, android 2.2 froyo was released today but it cannot be installed on your G1 just yet. But that's not something you should worry about, since we have some of the best developers working for us.
And how much are you paying for your G1? check your local craigslist, prices range there from 70-150 for a used one.
Thanks for the fast reply..
and another question.. all the applications will be available in the market for G1 ?
for example if G1 has 2.1 and desire has 2.1 will both have same apps in its market list ?
by the way am in UK so will be buying it here.. In ebay i have seen for 70 to 150 pounds. the price is good ? or its too much ?
Yes, all apps for 2.1 will appear on a 2.1 rom. But G1 won't get 2.1 unless you root first. And 70 to 150 pounds seems like a fir price, just make sure you get a working one.
Hi guys, im thinking one G1 too and leaving forever WM and my Kaiser.
Here im Portugal even in second hand there are a litle bit expansive, as all the HTC are... The cheapest G1 e found is from 130€!
I friend of mine have an Acer with android SO with 1000mhz cpu... First i love HTC, i had 6 models and the possibility of change rom and stuff are brutal. He said that G1 is totally discontinued, and i am afraid that when i update it to the lastest rom available it comes slow :S But ok, it will be always better than an Acer, even not talking about the qwerty keyboard.
The battery of my Kaiser with normal use of GSM, rarely WIFI and some times GPS longs 2 days, i hope G1 too, that's the aceptable for me.
Im accustomed to rom change on WM i hope on android thing thats not hard!
G1 thats not beautiful and thats not ugly, its different, but ok, all the HTC are. Its bigger than Kaiser but smaller than my lovely HTC Universal, maybe the best phone i ever had!
I believe in XDA-Devs forum, i have been using it for 3 years, used more than 50 different roms, i will read all of your possibile and updated reviews with actual roms, because if it would be positive, my thread home will change.
Have you tried out an android rom on your kaiser? You will have a hard time getting more then a day of battery on your G1. I use it a lot, from 7:00 to 3:00 I still have 40% left, but that's with using it for a few hours and some music, in a place with low signal, and no gps or wifi. And a lot of the roms for the G1 are a helluvalot faster then stock, FYI.

No i have not tried that on Kaiser... The border of the lcd makes the touch experience hard, the new htc and the androids are made for finger touch and no stylus, i wanna try that and much more. Im a little bit afraid of the change to a new device, android for example. Im used to wm, my sweet tomtom gps very very powerful, very efficient here in portugal and if g1 suck im screwed. i have th think about it, i think it will be nice some reviews, because all i found in the web was reviews from 2 years ago, and thats nothing, because of the evolution of the roms. its hard to update for a new rom? this week, i will abandon windows and start using linux full time, for WM thats complicated, for android too?
Just found a Hero for 150 pounds , is it worth it or not ?
Thanks
I need/love/... qwerty keyboard... And think, how many people in your workplace/university/city have a G1? Damn exclusive design Im really think on it.

G1 is a good phone to cut your teeth on. I bought one just to try it out before my Upgrade is due and I pick up a desire.
Mine will be hitting ebay soon with an asking price of £95 with delivery ontop.
Oh why? You dont like yours? My Kaiser is not fast, small or pretty, my previous phones too, so...
I also bought a g1 as my first android phone, in fact I still have it and love it, I can't speak to the change in diffaculty in switching roms on a winmo phone but once you do it the first time on android it becomes an addiction

Of course... The first time i flashed my qtek s100 was insane! In three days i broke it and a had to pay to solve it
But thats a piece of work the root thing, and the first flash to boot up SO 2.2 or something? A friend like i said told me that G1 is overpassed, but i believe on it, G1 is a crazy thing for me, thats the revolution, the first, the incredible
Folks, a G1 appeard in the bidding world here in Portugal but with AZERT keyboard! Its cheapest, its half than a qwerty one... What do you think? Maybe i buy later a qwerty keyboard, i dont know, i want a damn G1, please give me ur opinion.
