I just bought the TMO Wing and i was just curious where does it fall under compared to all the other HTC phones? I thought the wing was a high-end phone until i saw all the other phones HTC makes(Trinity, Atom, Charmer, etc.) So I just wanted to know whether my phone is at the bottom of the list or is it up there? Thanks in advance!!!

T-Mobile Wing is not HTC Wing. HTC Wing is a smartphone and TMO Wing is a Pocket PC. T-Mobile Wing is pretty good although there are some new PPCs that are better.
Wait what? I don't get it how do i know which phone i got? I got this phone...
http://www.samstores.com/_images/products/wing.jpg
It's a TMO wing but it says HTC on the back so how would I know?
You have the T-Mobile HTC Wing yes. Wings is a nickname for some other HTC Smartphone. Yours is a Pocket PC phone.
Both are made by HTC.
There is no thread for the HTC Wing. They use Herald for the Wing.
Confused Yet?
Ok I think I get it.....so I'm guessing this wouldn't be the right forum to post any questions about my phone?

yeah. Find a The Herald forum and you'll be in the right place. It would be nice if the Moderators made and HTC Wing Forum.

To Answer your original question -- yes the Wing is High End -- however there are better phones. The Kaiser is better but not whole lot. For the price -- you get what you pay for.
Oh ok thanks a lot, you've been really helpful.
t-mobile wing is in the herald thread
the t-mobile wing is grouped with the herald threads you can find what you need here just search for herald you will find roms for the wing and answers to your questions just read and read some more
Yeah you're right it is the Herald forum, sorry for the miss info. See, I don't even know.

Hi all,
Sorry for the noob question. I just got my AT&T Tilt and I just want to make sure that I am in the right forum. Is this the forum for AT&T Tilt (AT&T 8925)? I've search around, it's either this forum or the Hermes forum. I appreciate anyone points me at the right direction.
Thanks a bunch!
forum
The 8925 is a Kaiser so you're in the correct forum.
The AT&T Tilt is just a re-brand of the HTC Kaiser phone. AT&T just names it the Tilt because it's hip and cool and something they can put a (TM) next to on packaging.
Thanks....
ceelo2007 & jon_k,
Thank you....awesome!
They should update the names that we call some of these devices so new people can see. Like instead of just 8525 it could be "At&t/Cingular 8525". You know?
heh...
I spent quite a bit of time figuring out if this was the right area at first too. They really need to add Tilt to the models next to Kaiser....

The naming conventions for the forums seem to be by HTC development codenames.
XDA-devs deals with many different models of HTC devices which have been re-branded by many different providers and depends on the source and region of your particular device and service.
So this site tends to use the pre-release codenames to refer to all devices of the same general hardware family. Hence the Tilt can be called a TytnII or a Kaiser or a Vario III, 8925...etc... with only minor diffs in hardware/software.
Why can't they have all the names known for the device so there would be less confusion? (Start with the new ones and go down from their)

To avoid posts from people who are incapable of identifying what device they have. As well as "their" from "there". lol
Ahh, you caught me. . ., also there already is .
*I* know there is a wiki but do others?
Maybe they know but there not sure if it's over they're -------> or over their <------.
My opinion is that these forums are pretty technical, and if you can't properly identify your model, you probably don't belong here. I know from my expertise in Motorola modding that I have been PM'ed countless times by 12 year old kids that decided they were going to mod, hex edit, or flash their phone, bricked it, and then PM'ed me for a magical fix before their parents found out.

Other than the name differential, I believe the Euro Kaiser has a camera on the front as well as the back for "video call". The tilt has the regular one in the back.

Old news ! Not nice to start a " new " thread for something we had not expected anyway.
Yeah, I know its old news. But even so, a large amount of people do not know this, so its still worth posting.
Do you realize what board you're on? Don't generalize, you have been left behind, not me. I've been running WM6.1 on my Tilt since the winter when it first leaked and have been running the lasted build since Monday.

Everyone here knows this and it is not worth posting as you will find out.
No, I have browsed through some threads and it seemed that a decent amount of people had not realized that only the HTC-Branded devices had recieved the update.
People who read stuff already knew for like a month that the update would probably be only for HTC branded devices, I guess you don't.
Anyways, it doesn't mean there won't be official updates for you, just that your company, whichever it is, will have to customize things first before releasing a rom, especially adding all their bloatware.
Oh, and about accelerated graphics, please, noone got them, it's not that you're a special target.
I know that there were some "fixes" but no drivers, and it has been said that ATT users will get it, just when they get ready to release it after adding all their crap.

I am here to help , what was the question ? I just heard a rant that the mods have said ( continually ) is not appropriate for these forums. If you read the official announcement from HTC when they announced the TYtN upgrade, they said that they had no plans to release an upgrade fer the Tilt in the near future. Why is this rant important to this forum?
What are you talking about denco? This is not even a rant, it is a statement. I did not mean for it to be a rant and I did not mean for people to mistake it as one. I merely meant to inform people that only the branded HTC devices got the update. It appeared as though alot of people had not realized this, or, at least enough for me to post. I can even show you some quotes if you need me too.
Denco, please look up the definition of 'rant'.
htc rom
Just talked to HTC. There is no 6.1 rom from them for the HTC phones (mine is the TYTN II) available anywhere on the globe.

I am not trying to entice the argument here, but i will add couple of things:
a) Most of the "regular" members here at xda already know that the tilt or any other branded version of the tytnII will not be getting the updates. (emphasis on regular).
b) none of the xda members really care about official updates as we have very gifted and talented chefs here that can port roms for us (and we are truly greatful for that) and seeing that the only diffrence between the TytnII and tilt is the front camera that shouldn't be a big deal.
c) drivers (which there aren't none) can also be ported. There are chefs already working on porting the diamond drivers over to tilt which runs vga.
Having said that i would like to thank you for the info ... but unfortunately its old news and no one likes repeatedly hearing old news.

Welcome to the ROM update for the AT&T Tilt. Please review the following prior to downloading and installing the latest ROM update (version 1.62.502.0) on your device.

I very nearly downloaded this one by mistake. I registered with htc but my phone S/N is not a real HTC device and was still logged in, but I managed to (mistakenly) download the file from that link without much issue.
That help?
That's still only 6.0..

I don't know who you spoke with but they were wrong; I just ran the HTC RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) from the HTC e-club web site and the splash screen clearly states Windows Mobile 6.1. I have an HTC TYTN II and it works great.

The thing that puzzles me about this is the way the AT&T Tilt gets singled out as if it's special - in reality it's just one dozens of rebranded Kaisers around the globe, none of which have had an official update. I have a "Vodafone V1615", am I whining about where to download a Vodafone update for my Vodafone V1615? No, of course not, with the help of this forum it's been running the original HTC rom since October, and upgraded to the HTC 6.1 update a couple of days ago (before it was released by HTC in fact). So what's the problem?
The irony is the AT&T Tilt is (I believe) the only variant to have it's own section of the HTC website, and to actually have already had a rom upgrade back in February, albeit 6.0 only. Where are all the complaints about that from owners of the V1615, or the T-Mobile Vario 3, or the Orange Tytn II, or O2 XDA Stellar, or the "3" Tytn II, etc etc..?
Hello All,
Just wondering if anyone would be willing to give me the step by step so I can update my ROM to Windows 6.1. It seems as though T-Mobile isn't going to release it anytime soon and I would really like to update my phone. More than anything I am looking for a ROM that has the threaded SMS. I have never flashed my phone before so there is no way to get too simple in breaking down the steps. Anyone willing to help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time and hard work!
This is the HTC S730 Wings not the t mobile wing. I think that the wing is the same as the HTC hermes, but just google that yourself. I state again: You are in the wrong section for the t mobile wing.

my apologies. actually it is the htc herald
Eh no worries, happens a lot.
However I believe the process is similar if you want to take a look at the HardSPL thread stickied at the top of this forum. However you should hit up the Tmo wing forum to see what the cookers have come up with for your phone.
I have an older version of touch-it i got off the wings thread, after like 20 hours of reading, and have used it ever since. Now i am back to reading countless threads, and come to the realization i have a htc atlas*t-mobile wing, and wonder if i am in the right categories for software and things. I have been happy with the rom i have installed off this category except wonder if my phone has more potential because i might not of been reading the right category for my specific phone. I have never had video working on my phone is one thing i wonder if others have. I would love any help. I do have some questions if possible, i have not just jumped in and not try understanding myself.
if anyone is willing to point me in the right direction or have a conversation on the purple T-mobile Wing, *HTC Atlas or whatever that would be sweet!
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=756
is my specific phone. does that mean there is limitations to which .roms I am using? I am ready to upgrade the os on it... its HTC 4350 Atlas - Aka T-mobile Wing...
installed coreplayer to no avail as well... thanks for reading
I dont remember what the T-mobile wing is called, but its not the S730.
Since this is the wrong forum for the T-Mobile Wing we cant offer too much help there is a forum on XDA for your phone, but I am on my phone and digging that up right now would take a while
If you got the rom for your phone off of this forum it is possible aspects of it are running less than your phone could run them at but I would only see that being a driver issue instead of Rom issue.
What the difference between the CDMA Rom section and the MDA Compact Rom section?
/wiki/T-Mobile_MDA
/wiki/CDMA
(isnt letting me post links, but just put en (dot) wikipedia (dot) org before the above links)
But maybe if you are asking this question, you should not be attempting to flash your phone. If you dont know what you are doing, you can **** stuff up.

I have been flashing my vogue for about 2 years now. I am very well aware of how to do it. I just notice that the cdma (sprint) link only has 1 rom and the MDA compact link has TONS!

Thanks for all this info BUT I know what the difference between CDMA and GSM is. My question is.... How come there are so many roms posted under the GSM thread and NOT the CDMA thread. I would like to flash to a new rom with my CDMA diamond and not sure which is best to use. I only use my phone for texting and basic internet. I dont need all the bells and whistles. Would like it to be windows mobile 6.5.x version. Any suggestions? Again, this is a Sprint PCS CDMA Diamond.
