2) Phone reception a bit poor
3) Button mapping really sucks to the core... (Can work around)

The only point I agree with is the button mapping.
Battery life is much better then my Magacian and other phones I had before.
No problems with reception (GSM 1800 network).
i've just bought my trinity, and i am quite happy with it, but i have some questions to you who use it longer: I would really appreciate your help!
1) how can i map the software-keys (default calendar and contacts) to "write new sms" and "call list"?
2) why don't i see the battery status in the task bar as i did on the magician?
3) i somehow disabled the "new wifi network found" message. where can i restore that setting to "alert when new network is found"?
thanks a lot

i have to answer a part of this question to myself
1) change the software-keys to the functions I needed was not that easy at all. I had to copy the programs to be executed from my magician to the trinity (\Windows\tnsms.exe and \Windows\tCallHistory.exe which obviously are both just wrappers for their respective programs in the selected mode) and edit the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\ .. and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\ .. ).
2) still unsolved.
3) settings -> sounds and alerts -> new wifi network found --> i know i should had thought about that before asking here
cu guys.
keep posting your results as this forum is one of the greatest information resources about my mobile device i know.

I find the windows mobile connection manager to be really horrible. Is there a more intuitive replacement available ? I'm not talking about the one with the HTC rom that just turns the various radios on/off.
It sure seems like there should be something with a scrollable list of connections (wifi / cellular / vpn) with a simple "connect" and "disconnect" button handy.
The way windows mobile does it just isn't intuitive at ALL.
Any thoughts on this ?
Thanks !
Couldn't agree more, speaking as someone who has just spent an entire weekend trying to get applications to work with my wifi and most of this morning trying to get my email working again (silly me, I should have "My ISP" selected).
And I never even touched the settings and Vodafone put the settings on there themselves!
There must be a better way?
I am using PhoneAlarm and the skin provides direct icons to switch On / Off the GPRS Radio the WiFi Radio and the BlueTooth. The icons also have indicator lights so that you know the status of a particular Radio
Hope this helps
couldn't agree more, is there anyway we can map one of the buttons to Comm manager? Any registry hack for that? I recently did the PTT button hack and looking to link it to Comm manager...
by default there's a button on the today screen on the kaiser right out of the box. There's a ton of hacks and ways to change it if you arent happy. It amazes me that people buy this phone and dont know how to upgrade/change things. MyFirstPhone sounds like a much better phone for some.

Either the 6 or 10 button comm manager does exactly what you describe, but don't want. If you don't like it, create your own app to do it.
Personally, I am very, very grateful for the apps and utilities that people have created on this site. My life is so much easier.
I mapped the 10 button comm manager to my PTT button, so it's one button and one click to turn on/off any radio. It is NOT going to get any easier than that.

No, it doesn't.
Show me where you can disconnect and/or connect a VPN connection in the 6 or 10 button comm manager.
Screen shots happily accepted.

Some people you can never please....
It can control all RADIOS, which is what I stated. Some people complain about having to make a couple of extra clicks. The 10 button comm manager makes my life quite a bit easier, that's why I suggested it.

Hi
You can use mortscript “connect” function to start RAS connections of your choice, not only the "default connection" selected in "Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks".
Leave in selected connections a dummy connection without any modem or vpn definition (like My Work Network) in both Internet profile and Private profile. In This configuration WM can’t make a connection himself (no un-wanted connection).
For disconnection I use the disconnect button in top bar connection status provide by Schap’s Advanced configuration : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070
I write a little mortscript exemple to start RAS connections and exclude in choice list default system connection (Work, The Internet, WAP Network, etc…) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1794522&postcount=181
You can also use BaterryStatus Advanced Edition with his Phone-TrayIcon : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751
Sorry for my poor English.
Hi Everyone,
I must start by saying I'm new to installing software on my phone, I used to add and remove things all the time with my PDAs but have never really seen the advantage of doing so on my phone but now battery life is decent and the Internet is cheap and fast I'm really interested in doing lots more with my Varrio III.
So, for the record, I have a new MDA Vario III from T-Mobile in the UK with 'unlimited' data. Here are some things I'd like to do with my phone. I'm not too sure what I *can* and *can't* do.
1) Record Phone calls.
For work I would really like to be able to record both ends of a phone-call and store that recording on the phones memory card and/or internal memory. Is this possible?
2) Copy SMS Messages to Exchange Server
I'd like my phone to automatically sent my SMS messages to my email so I can access (view) them in Outlook, Outlook Web Access etc.
3) SMS Rules
I see I can make sub-folders under the SMS Inbox. Could I set up a rule so messages from certain senders is sent to a sub-folder. For example messages from my bank to one folder and delivery status notifications to another?
4) Data Radio Control
Most of the time there is no reason my phone needs to connect to anything faster than GPRS. Is there a tool that would let me turn off the 3G and HSPDA radios as I feel like it. While HSDPA is quick it seems to EAT battery!
5) Data Timer
Simple one here, I'm looking for a really light weight tool to add up 'bandwidth' I'm using. Just something like, ' Since you last reset the stats, you have used (transferred) 25MB of data'.
6) No signal notification.
I'd love for my phone to vibrate or play a sound when I lose cellular reception and when I find it again. And just for fun a different alert when I change cellular cells.
GPS IDEAS/QUESTIONS
7) GPS Tracking and updating to web server
Ok, I've been playing with TrackMe and it is exactly what I've been looking for. But uploading every few minutes seems to use a boat load of battery. I'm looking for your opinion on the optimum settings for TrackMe so I'm not using so much battery. For the record, I'm mostly walking so I'm not covering huge distances very quickly.
8) GPS based SMS sending.
Say I arrive at a train station, I'd love my phone to remind me to text the office and tell them I'm about to get on a train. Now, say I come within 5km of a location, I'd love my phone to text a predefined group of people with a message like, 'Hey, I'm currently in Glasgow, fancy a coffee?' or something like that. Any ideas?
QR Codes
9)I have a 2D barcode reader application and I would like ideas how I could use QR codes etc. What is everyone using them for, also is there an application that would read bar codes using the phones camera?
So those are my 9 requests. I've done a little googling but I'm really not sure what applications to look for and once I find applications if they are any good. Looking for your advice and recommendations
Thanks in advance,
ross(cbrown)
Sounds like most of what you want it out there. I know there was a thread about a week ago in the software section in regards to recording phone calls. There is a thread here about tracking gps, another about messing with your data (kaiser tweak) etc etc. just search around.
This thread reminds me of a bunch of those threads from april fools day. He can't be serious.

Hi Guys.
I am a new member here and I am too lazy to search for anything myself. Here is a list of what I want can you all please gather all the links for me and list them all for me?

In his defense, searching and identifying relevant bits of information is not the easiest thing to do on this forum. This place used to be more friendly than it has become. Rosscbrown: try posting your request on MoDaCo's forum, chances are people there will be more likely to make suggestions.
For god sake he did not ask for links to relevant threads, only for suggestions/ideas as to how best do these things!

Some random thoughts:
1. GPS is known to eat batterys for lunch. Whenever I have TomTom on I am in the car and it is on the car charger. To leave your GPS on all the time so that you can get what you are wanting with (tell me when I get close to something) is going to cost you in battery life. BUT - TomTom has the ability to warn you when you get near a dunkin donuts or starbucks - etc. All you need to do is put in TomTom the places where you want "warnings" and you should be able to have it tell you that you are near- now I am NOT smart enough to tell you how to make it send a message - not really sure that after thinking about it you would WANT an auto message - say you got into town late and had to leave early in the morning and it sent an auto message to meet you at the pub to your friends and they went and waited for you?
2. no signal notification - I get this in my bluetooth headset - it is really helpful when I am driving - there are places where i am not "covered" with signal that I never realized. Try getting a BT headset and you will see what I mean - not really sure that you want an audible on that though that everyone can hear do you? It would get OBNOXIOUS in meetings or inside buildings - enough so that you would have to turn off your phone.
3. recording phone calls - I have not seen anywhere that this is possible - you are able to record one side of the conversaiont but I am not aware of any software that will let you record BOTH sides - be aware that there may be legal issues on this depending on your country.
This may be a great place to start: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/cms/index.php?q=blogs/3/513
4. Data rate on radio control - there are some out there - you can use Kaiser Tweak I believe to limit this - however - if you get the right ROM (see my signature for mine) you can get great battery life and NOT have to tweak this item.
5. Bar code reader - yes - I actually saw on a thread somewhere that someone had done this - taken a picture of a bar code and then read it - seems awfully long winded way around the barn though - you probably ought to get a device that has a scanner on it if you are going to read a lot of bar codes - the camera on the Tilt is a little slow and then to run a program that "reads" the picture interpret it and return a value and then plug that value in to another program - you could have typed in the bar code easier. Factor in bad reads and having to take the picture again and you are going to get frustrated way sooner than satisfied.
This MAY be the place to start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1964222

Hi everybody, right now I try to set up the HTC Diamond for my father, so far so easy .
I just have one major (and one minor) problem:
Is there a way to forbit the Diamond to go online at all? Right now, when you by chance hit the weather button, he just starts to establish a data connection. The Diamond is not supposed to go online at all over the normal cell phone network (probably over WLAN, but that is not important). Is there a way to disable that, or at least ask if you want to go online?
And the minor problem/question, is there a way to configure which buttons are on the bottom? E.g. he doesn't need to have E-Mail there.
Thanx a lot for your help , and I hope, I haven't overlooked a thread with the awsers .
Try remove the grps settings in settings \ connections \ connections \ manage connections. It should't connect if it does't have a connections to use
Use TF3D Config to remove tabs. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
I removed mail, internet and contacts myself.
or try 'NO DATA' its a cab file in artemis section, you can select and deselect real easy
Thanx a lot for the quick help. TF3D and deleting the connection did the job . I will use NoData.cab for my self, as soon as the HTC Touch pro is out and in my hands.

It's much more easyer to disable autoupdate in weather panel- options . You can disable mail panel using tf3d config.Disable 3g and that's it. You can go online every time you want.
My father has the incredible talent by having no idea what he does, he finally makes the think he isn't supposed . I actually already disablked the weather feature, but he worked his magic.
Good thread! I was wondering this too. But my phone connects with 3G if i am in oprah and my WLAN connection died for a second. I will try nodata though!
I have some minor problems with my Kaiser and after searching the forum I'm really tired now, so please if you are willing to help, than do it. If not, than just don't post here and move along, thanks.
Yes, I used Google to search the forum and I have several registry tweakers.
1. How to remove the operator logo from the dialler screen? I mean not change it, remove and thus free the space it occupies.
2. How to replace the dialler keypad with a smaller keypad or a keyboard? Or at least make the keypad hidden.
3. I like the SMS delivery notification, but my old SE K750 is has so that the messages are just noted as delivered, no delivery SMS arrives, this is much more convenient.
4. How to make SMS the default messaging method rather than MMS?
5. This one really annoys me - How to ger rid of constant Connectivity warnings in the upper tab? They are sometimes noted as "E" icons, sometimes "G".
6. How to remove the connection sound, I mean when the Kaiser connects with ActiveSync?
Thanks for your help, moving from Palm is a real shock.
p.s.: If you feel very generous, please recommend your favourite skinning/HTC Home adjusting application. I already have HTC Home Customizer, but I find it not powerful enough. And as a task swithich I use Magic Button, is there anything better?

Good idea, I'v always searched through forums.
Guys, I'm very much a newbie to all this and have a few questions which I was hoping for definitive answers to (I've searched the threads and there seems to be some ambiguity)
1) Can the call history and calendar options under the clock be removed/changed? If so how? (some people say "no" but one talks about changing some kind of setting!!)
2)Has anyone got a way to put the black HTC theme onto the O2 branded ignito without loosing some of the text (black text on black background on some tabs)....WITHOUT FLASHING....(I think the answer to this is "no" at the moment but if someone could remedy it I would be grateful. I did try it using info on the forums, but aswell as being unable to see some text, it also seemed to slow the phone response time down to a ridiculously slow level.
3)An idea which I think all newbies would appreciate is a really simple guide as to what are the ESSENTIAL tweaks (if any) everyone should make to their phone. I don't mean an endless list, but simply which ones will increase performance, save battery power etc.
Other than the above points, I have to say that I am 100% happy with my new phone. I've never had a WM type phone before and I cannot understand how I managed without one before. I am making plans to learn the basics of how it all works, then maybe have a go at writing some apps etc (If anyone knows of an 'idiots guide' to the whole WM XDA thing please let me know.
Just for your info in case it helps:
ROM 1.93.206.3
Radio 1.00.25.05
Free phone, 600mins, 1000texts, unlimited browsing:- £20p/m

Hi Matt.
I'm a fairly novice newbie too - had a T-Mobile compavt IV with the white/pink T-Mobile branding which I did not like at all - and decided to Flash after exhaustive forum research etc .... and managed it with a huge sigh of relief.
Anyway, still would be apprehensive about flashing if I had to do it again
But have been playing around with a few visual tweaks - so here's my 2p's worth - hope it helps.
1) No idea on this one - sorry
2) Found a theme that should allow you to use a cool (in my opinion of course) Black theme - http://sharebee.com/9071012f details with in this forum link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419799&highlight=black+diamond+theme&page=5
first you need an app called Diamond TF3D Config - cab file attached
Then download the Black Diamond Theme file. Run Diamond TF3D Config, click on "Appearence" tab, and under select theme, click on path and double click the folder where you downloaded the Black Diamond Theme file then click on "ok". Now in the box under "Select Theme", click on the down arrow button on the right and select Black Diamond Theme. Then click on save at the bottom of the page. This asks that you reboot, do so and you should have a classy looking Black Diamond Theme
3) Diamond TF3D Config also has some good tweaks that should increase performance - but unfortunately battery life will always be a huge drawback with the Diamond ... my solution was to get a second battery and a desktop charger that charges the phone and the spare battery at the same time - and I carry a charged spare whenever I go out - search e-bay for the battery and charger.
Hope this helps ... good luck
Vijay
