If you're the kind of person who just has to wait for official fixes to come out, well, fine. We understand. And official fixes are starting to trickle out for the 2016 SMS bug that we helped bring to light. HTC has hotfixes for the Sprint Touch Diamond and Touch Pro that in all liklihood do the exact same thing our workaround does. But if you need the HTC stamp of approval, well, here...
Until now, if you wanted to run the latest builds of HTC's Manila (TouchFLO 3D), you needed to be running one of the newer generations of HTC phones, as in the Touch Diamond 2, Touch Pro 2, etc. But now Manila 2.5 has been ported to VGA resolution (480x640), and it's already being cooked into ROMs for the HTC Fuze (original Touch Pro). This is all still in early beta, so bugs are likely...
Who wants a free Verizon Touch Pro? Yeah, it's the original, but it's an HTC Touch Pro, on Verizon, and it's free. And did we mention it's free?All you have to do is this: Leave a post in our forums. (And for that, make sure you're registered.) And you know the drill: "First!" won't get it done. Your post needs to be halfway intelligent. Contest ends at 5 p.m. EST Oct. 18, so get a'...
For those of you rocking the original HTC Touch Pro on Sprint, and we know there are plenty of you out there, an official ROM update was recently released. Here's what you get:TouchFlo 3D updated to improve speed and stability.Dialer application enhanced to improve the handling of incoming calls.Resolves an issue using the “r” and “w” keys on the virtual keypad.Improves contact...
That's right, folks. For a limited time only (we presume) you can get the HTC Touch Pro and Touch Diamond, as well as the Samsung Omnia, for the low, low price of $99. As you well know, all three of those phones are on their way out, so the discount isn't unexpected. (The Samsung Saga is still at $199, btw, the SMT5800 is $99 the Ozone and Q9m are $49, and the original HTC Touch is $9....
We're gonna pat ourselves on the back here a little bit and pretend that it was our open letter and persistent persistence that finally got Verizon to open up the GPS on the HTC Touch Pro and Samsung Saga – and, finally, the Samsung Omnia.Note that the update page is up, but the download link isn't yet live. But here's what's getting updated:The latest Microsoft AKU Update 1.5.1....
Some bad news folks, word from CNet is that the much anticipated HTC Touch Pro which was set to be released on October 19th has been pushed back to the end of October/beginning of November. Doesn't look to be anything serious in the way of problems outside of Sprint trying to make sure they have enough supply on launch. Sprint expects to slightly delay launch of the Touch Pro by HTC to...
Thinking about getting the all powerful and popular Sprint Touch Pro for the holidays (see review here)? Want it for a ultra-low price? BestBuy is selling it for $199 (reg. $299) now through Saturday (12/20). In store only. Of course you'll have to sign a 2 year contract, but that's a heck of an instant savings if you are due to re-new or a new customer! (Tip: if you bought it from...
Two hotfixes for the Touch Diamond 2 in less than a week? That's it. Mine's going in the garbage.Just kidding, folks. Stay out of my trash. Actually, we're more inclined to take the glass-half-full route here. Hotfixes mean HTC has acknowledged problems and has fixed them. Here's what's been addressed:Hotfix No. 1 (5-22-09): If you move to the Settings tab in TouchFLO, the top part of...
Well, following up on our earlier post about those fancy-schmancy new HTC devices reportedly heading to Sprint, some much wanted specs have since come out. Paul over at MoDaCo not only has the quite lovely features but also their launch names: HTC Diamond = HTC Touch Diamond HTC Raphael = HTC Touch Pro HTC Titanium = HTC Touch Dual Pro That latter one we haven’t heard much...
Look. We don't know PPCGeeks user kidmet. He's probably a pretty cool cat. But we can't imagine it'd be too much fun to ride around in his back pocket all day. We'd just assplode.And that's exactly what his spare Touch Pro battery apparently did.I walked into my house early this week to the smell of burning. I couldn't find where it was coming from. Last night as I was gathering my...
Holding out for a Sprint Touch Pro but just can't afford the new-customer price of $299? Well, Amazon is running one heck of a fire-sale as you can now pick one up for the quite low price of $99! Of course, that is after a $100 mail-in-rebate. But still ... with a point-of-purchase sale of $199, it is still lower than Sprint direct. That's a heck of a deal if we say so ourselves.
You know it, you love it, and now you can get the HTC Touch Pro on U.S. Cellular for $250, after a $70 mail-in rebate. [via BGR]Don't know U.S. Cellular? Not too surprising, seeing as how the carrier's not available in all states. But that's OK. It's good to see Windows Mobile spreading through the MVNOs other carriers that don't get much pub.
If you haven’t heard of HTC, you must be new here. If you haven’t heard Dieter complain about HTC’s apparent apprehension with putting a 3.5mm audio jack on their devices, you should start listening to our Podcast. One solution that has been mentioned before is HTC’s Multifunction adapter that gives you a slew of options for connecting all manner of devices to your device of choice. If...
The one Windows Mobile phone feature that we never seem to get enough of is power. Only one Windows Mobile Phone comes to mind that ships with a high capacity battery as standard; the Samsung Black Jack II with it's 1750mah battery. When the HTC Fuze/Touch Pro hit the market, excitement filled the air because of the versatility and features this phone offered. It didn't take long...
While we all had our eyes last week on the Touch Pro 2 and Touch Diamond 2, HTC quietly released an update for the original Touch Pro. [via] Here's what's fixed: The display of TouchFLO 3D sometimes may appear cracked. When taking a picture, the auto focus function may malfunction in some circumstances. In some circumstances, the preview screen will become black after...
What, you thought that the Touch Pro and the Fuze were the pinnacle of QWERTY sliders, never to be outdone? You thought wrong, chummer, and here's the reason: the HTC Touch Pro 2. What did HTC change? Well, here are the specs: Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro 3G, quad-band edge WiFi, GPS, FM Radio Motion sensor MicroSD (SD 2 Compatible) 528MHz Qualcomm MSM7200...
Ah, the great stylus debate. Even with the advent of the more finger-friendly TouchFlo 3D, some people just can't put down the stylus. And that's OK. Different strokes and all that. And with the Touch Diamond family of devices (including the Touch Pro and Touch HD), there came the added bonus of the phone recognizing when you remove the stylus and then waking or launching a program. And...
Same bird. Same honeycomb. Only much larger pics this time, and in Chinese, from 592ppc.com (page translated here). And we see what looks like a games folder. (Or should we call it a cell?) This was running on a Dopod HTC Touch Pro. Any Chinese readers see anything else?The (expected) unveiling of WM6.5 at Mobile World Congress just can't come soon enough.
We've known for a while now that there RIM has been working on the BlackBerry Application Suite for Windows Mobile. We saw a blurry video (since taken down), and a lone pic. It now seems like things have picked up some steam, as BGR reports beta testing is going on. The latest: BAS is only running on the HTC Touch Pro/Fuze and the TyTn. GSM only, folks. Internal GPS is a go,...
