If you want to give a friend a file off my XDA, what is the easiest way to do it, do you have to install active sync, it`s a bit of a pain keeping the active sync cd in your pocket, just on the off chance that you want to transfere a file..if you know what i mean.....top site
Infrared...
yeah that works well, but most desktop pc`s dont have and infa-red port, so then i`d have to carry one of those around, its a shame you cant just use the direct cable connection on windows
Well in fact you could, but I don't know how to set it up... and you would need a Null modem driver on the Windows box... not worth trying
well.......ir thingie or a cable.....I don't want to carry around either one of them.
You can always let your friend build the ir thingie.....
http://www.infraredport.de/index.html shows you how to. I did that and it works smoooooooooothly for just a few euro's. It's a German site but has english pages.
Have you considered sending an email? I have heard rumours that the XDA is able to do that :lol:
Robert
send a file on gprs, i`m not made of money you know :lol:
hehehehe
this site is mainly about technical capabilities, not about trivial sideeffects as getting bankrupt :twisted:
Sorry, I'm new with WM6. One feature that got me interested and buying the X7500 Advantage was for the remote desktop. I recall reading a thread about that and was able to download WM6 RDP-Finster. However, I wasn't able to get it to work till now. Please advise on an error message stating that my computer is not set up for remote desktop. Please help me out here as buying the advantage most features didn't come in as handy as I thought it would be. One would be, the Tomtom GPS, one free map, and how sad, I live in Canada, meaning, they don't offer the free map here. Anyways, back to the topic, please advise on how to get remote desktop (I'm currently using Vista Home Premium) to work on my Advantage.
You could also try using vnc. I have successfully vnc'ed into to computers from my AT&T 8525. Just search up vnc mobile.
And I think there is a free program called pocket streets or something. I don't know if it does gps, but you could give it a try.

I suspect your problem is nothing to do with the Athena or WM6 - it is to do with Vista Home Premium. If you are trying to connect from your Advantage to your Vista machine it won't work as Vista Home Premium does not allow incoming remote desktop (i.e. terminal server) connections - another example of MS cutting down its own software.
There is apparently a solution but I haven't tried it:http://www.unet.fi/fransblog/2007/08/30/enable-remote-desktop-connection-on-vista-home-premium/
Yup, just use VNC. Install it, set your password, open a hole in your firewall for the right port (or ports, if you enable both Java viewer and direct connection). Done.
As for the maps - just buy an aftermarket product. I couldn't stand relying on the data connection for map info since cell service can be spotty in my area, so I bought Delorme's mapping software. It comes with full North American maps. There are other options on the market, too.
I can't begin to explain how much better and more fluid this software is at remote desk top

Have you tried logmein, FREE? www.logmein.com
thanks for the help guys, explained at lot. i expected that the problem wasnt in my Athena. Just wasn't able to comfirm it till now. Well, hope these programs will work, thats if i can install them. stupid Brontok.A worm restarts my comp whenever i try to install. well, i hope to get it work asap. btw, thansk for the mapping tip. love this forum, would love to learn more about my Athena to post some cool stuff to show u all.

looks like a really good pogram but mot want A free solution and abiet most vista pc's are preloaded with either home
basic or home premium that leaves you to a free solution like the vista premium hack mentioned above or VNC. also the aspect that the t-mobile wm6 official rom seemed to be missing RDP was a let down when realising that the original wm5 rom had it in there was quite dissapointing heheh

Hi
I am using AP 3.0 Dual rom, as c0rnholio posted. Made changes in the aku version as he described, except for me only works the bbconnect 4.0.0.97 (the .92 doesn't work)
I can syncron correctly internet accounts, but not enterprise server. I see in about of blackberry client that the information of the BES version is empty.
Everything works fine in the connection with my pc and the BB desktop configures and creates the blackberry account, but cannot send or receive mails. And no sync tasks, contacts, agenda and notes.
Has anybody an idea about where could be my trouble? I was thinking in a limitation of my BES for non bb devices, but I don't see any trouble in the connection with the remote bes server through the vpn from the bb desktop. It generates encryptation keys correctly.
My mail is lotus notes 7.x
thanks.
I don't know what to tell you.
What I do know isI seriously thought someone doped my Guinness when I saw 'Blackberry Troubles' in the Athena forum. Those are....I don't know two different galaxies. You're lucky you didn't do some serious damage posting that here. YOu could have..... well, nevermind, i'M a bit tipsy. Maybe you could have named it somethign different.
P.S. Doesn't my avatar make you thirsy?

I agree with you, times is dangerous to be open but we are a community: each time they move we will go over it...
Going back to my problem I think is a limitation or the policy of the BES Server: if the pin is from a device non in policy will not accept or a problem of security level managed by bb on pda, lower than in bberry devices. In resume, looks no solution.

If you had a previous Blackberry device and now you are changing to an athena with BB connect on it all you need to do is ask the BES administrator to regenerate your account. Then the new PIN will be admited by the BES.
That is what I did although I'm using X7500 with WM5 original ROM and BB Connect 2.x but should be true for your case too.

Thanks a lot. This should be a problem because my company doesn¡t like wmobile.
I would be very much interested in how you resolve this problem.
Please let me know. I'll be facing very similar situation soon!
Right then, who else has noticed this? I'm presuming its an issue with the sync?
My contacts are stored with Googlemail and are set to sync, which is good as it saves me manually doing it and I usually change business contacts details so its nice that it updates on its own.
I link the contacts to facebook, pictures come over, look perfect (well, alright).
Later on, the pictures look awful and I'm presuming its because they are sent to Google and then sent back to the phone in a lower quality.
There were similar issues with the Touch HD syncing with Outlook and nobody found a way around it, anyone got any suggestions?
Nobody else noticing that their contacts pictures are really poor quality? Is it just me having this issue?

Me too...
No you are not alone.
Not alone
You are not alone, I presume that there is some kind of loss in the sync to make it work faster, I havnt seen any setting to make it lossless.
When I saved a picture from facebook and added it manually the was no loss in quality.
So until there is some kind of app out I guess you will just have to manually add the pictures if you cant live with the quality.
I sync with Outlook and its the same.
I do remember when i had a HTC Touch Diamond that was the same. The way you cured the problem was to take a photo with your phone to use as a contact picture and then it was full quality. To be honest not tried it with the Hero yet maybe a task for today for me..
Same problem here.
Hope they solve it in a future update.
Its the same with me, on my Diamond I created small high quality pics for my contacts & even with these the quality is crap.
On a side note is anybody else thinking that XDA Developers isn't the place for us & our hero handsets? I'm feeling a little bit unloved

People are only just getting their Hero's so this will get going soon. Its the same when any new devices come out, just takes time.
We have root already, TP2 doesn't have HardSPL yet and thats been out months.

haha, ok...
Root gives you access to all of your phone and should allow you to flash new roms onto your phone.
HardSPL is used on phones and if you have hardspl, again, you can flash new roms.
TP2 is the Touch Pro 2, just another phone.
Basically I was trying to say the phone is new out, and usually when they are it takes a while for people to come over to them, but they do eventually. When more and more people come on board, there will be a lot more support.

as stated...this phone has only been out in the uk for just over a week
things will start moving faster once people can get there hands on it.
i don't think it wll be long before the chefs start cooking here for us
You know what I think I need to make a retaction & clarify how I feel about the XDA Developers site & the hero. Both the comments of nicelad_uk & liamhere are totally spot on & it was silly of me to expect the amount of expert knowledge on the hero that I enjoyed with my previous winmo devices.
I realise now that this could be my time to shine & put something back into this community instead of just taking like I was accustomed to before. Now obviously its been established that my knowledge is a bit lax on the software but where I can help I will & hopefully the increase traffic & hel will bring more people to this part of the forum.

I've just read what I've written & although it WREAKS OF CHEESE I'm leaving it up because when you get past the cheese its pretty much true. Corny but true.
almost forgot thanks for the clarifications nicelad_uk, you really are a, er, nice lad

Haha, trust me, if you asked my girlfriend, she would say the opposite!
I started putting back into the community with my Touch Pro 2, recreating a theme which I loved on my Diamond but wasn't available, it was a good feeling.
Now I'm making apps for Android, nothing big, just getting used to it and trying different things.
And no problem with the help, we all try to help and its good to see a mod using these devices too, other people will follow shortly, when they see the light
Contacts Image quality
I have the same bad images quality in contact also. Even when i had my Touch HD. I sync with Outlook and even set the contact photo from the phone but when a call comes in or is made to the contact its all blurry. Any ideas?

That warms my cockles, does that! I feel just the same so I'm trying to help where I can (Not totally altruistic, just its summer break and I have time on my hands)
On the point of poor quality pics in the call window, I think what is happening is that the fone is grabbing the little Thumbnail created for the contacts, not the original pic. The thumbnail then looks like Sh** in the big call window.
Not a solution but could be a reason.

This issue is usually to do with the Sync, its been a common problem with Syncing with Outlook and google from Windows Mobile Devices. I posted a comment about poor picture quality on Google's forums and one of their development team said they would look into it, that was nearly 3 months ago though.
Can't think of anyway round it! Very annoying though. Auto Sync off for me I think.
I think everyone should go to the google forums and reply to this thread...
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=6b0562c425cc1f5d&hl=en
Make them aware we are noticing these issues!
hey mates, i think so to,when the people gets their hands on this wunderfull device, the development will be started ... mine arrives in 3 days ... cant wait for it ....
Anyone found a fix for this problem???
Just need to tell my story and need to vent it out there hahah,
Bare in mind im coming from a android
Fist i was really excited when my lumia 930 was delivered,fired it up and just wow!!! Nice built quality,great design,love 8.1, a little chunky and heavy but mehh i can live with it!
The first few days i was flabbergasted about performance,resolution,media playback,photo quality i loved every moment of it,butttttttt after a few days i would
Try to share a vid or pic with whatsapp for example...it constantley fails,ok ill use we transfer for that no problem,........browser doenst fully support some sites so we transfer didnt work that wel,
The lack of a good file explorer was greatly disapointing considering its a windows phone....come on man its freaking windows!!!! And i was hoping on a file tree similar like win7 pc
No movie playback app only the one provideed by microsoft that doesnt let you skip per secend but per some what seconds....i mean...ftw and i constantly have to cut/paste to let the movies be visible in it or use a 3d party app (moliplayer) and paste vid in my camera roll......
I really like the OS and how it handles some things butt the lack of good coded and full fuetured apps is a realllll deal breaker for me,so i factory reset the lumia and threw it in a corner and back on my xperia z again until win10 drops and hopefully the development on the apps will be much greater so that every fueture and so on will work great,
Sorry to spam u guys butt if you guys have some good tips for me i will be truely be greatfull, i know i have android in my blood since it launched so im a little spoiled fueture wise
Sorry if i posted wrong thread please move to proper thread and let me know please

Wait for windows 10. All I can say. If that doesn't excite you , or provide the features that you need, then go back to android. But Microsoft is really pushing it to new heights. Wait and see as they say
If only app development would be more suitible,likr apps that work better that would make a real diffetence
Edit
Does someone know a launchdate on wp10? Even microsoft is dodgy on it

You and me Both Bro...
Man I completely agree with you. Jay here, and my story is the same as yours , I have been a long time fan WinMO for like a decade str8, then i hopped on the Green machine for a long while, and about 5 months ago I switched to WP8 with the HTC One M8 for Windows just for something new ,and I feel like I have a Palm Pre in my hand, the OS is super stable and smooth, But there just no one backing it, Even HTC is discontinung their own apps, Its just sad, Everyone is jumping ship for this platform, and I cant wait to go back to android in about a month, Summed up in 2 words Lesson Learned!
I have the l930 and a HTC m8 (android) but the only one I have in use is the l930. All apps I need are available for Windows and the system experience is much more polished and fluid. Apps are sometimes not good as on Android but its enough for me.
Pictures taken with the 930 are the best pics I have ever seen on phone.
Much much better as on my m8...
If ms can close the app situation windows can really be a competitor.
Please remember this is my opinion and experience and yours can be different
Wauwwww how the hell does microsoft not be a shamed of this outlook app and office hub sjizzle i have a pdf i need to download and send forward,i "downloaded" it but i cant find it anyware on my phone only in a stupid pdf reader and must upload it to onedrive and share a link in a email?omg microsoft please,if you guys holding on to this kind of coded apps and dont give people some freedom with files ect. Ect. Then it will all be over soon with wp i think

By the way I have been using WP for many years, yes there are still some missing apps, but if you look around there are always good alternatives (in some cases better than original in fact) are available. I only recently sold my Lumia 930 as I already have Lumia 1520 as my daily driver, and couple of other Lumias at home.
a) I can share pics on Whatsapp no issue at all, so I'm not sure what may be the issue at your end. I'd recommend uninstall this app, and then reinstall and see whether this helps.
b) There are few very good file explorers, apart from Microsoft's own File Explorer app, lately I've been using Briefcase and it seems to be a very decent alternative.
c) I've used beta version VLC for many months, and recently it has been released for all WP users, so you can download it from the store. Also Windows 10 for Phones will support MKV right out of the box.
Other good alternatives for: a) MetWeets > Twitter official app; b) 6tag > Instagram official app etc.
If you need any further clarification regarding some app or its alternative, just ask away.
Good luck.
How do i let whatsapp download videos to the video folder so the vid is visible in vlc without copy/paste it
