HTC TyTN / 8525 / JasJam (Hermes)

Does anyone know when the 8520 - the no-camera version will be available? My company does not allow camera phone on the premises.

Thanks for any updates you can provide.

I'm about to get this phone with cingular....I will use this phone for internet,email,using word docs, and using it as a modem for my labtop..and also phone usage...Should I get this one or how long do I need to wait for the treo 750.

😡 I've had the 8525 for exactly 1 week and all was going well, really well. Then out of nowhere, the touch screen stopped responding to tapping. Sometimes no response, then sometimes my tap would open a window or change screens but it wouldn't stay there, it would immediately return to the Today screen. I did a few soft reboots and it might start being responsive for 30 minutes or so, but then would revert back to the problem. I finally did a hard reboot. Again no fix. This machine is shot after 1 week.

What do I do?

Please help.

How do you tether this phone to the internet. i have the active sync that it came with but i cant figure out how to do it. i had the n80 perviously and that was easy since i had nokia pc suite. thanks

When my device is on AC power I dont want it to shut off backlight or power off/down

I change the settings in the "settings" area but it seems to always set back to the default

is there anyway to make this change and have it stay?

any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

From day one, my 8525 has had issues. I am going to exchange it at Cingular, however I wanted to know if others are having the same issues. If so, I may just get my money back on it and wait for the bugs to get worked out.

SYNC ISSUES:
Right away I had trouble with getting the 8525 to sync with my PC. I am running the latest build of Activesync and have to troubles at all syncing my 8125, 2125 and MpX220, so I know it definitely is the 8525. Also, I keep my units password protected so when it syncs the first time I must enter the password and check the remember box so I don't see the dialog box again. The 8525 seems to forget and asks me for the password almost every time. I often have to reboot the 8525 or restart Activesync on my PC to...

I've spent the last few days researching the Cingular 8525 and had finally decided to get it, despite the painful price tag. Then I log on today and see the Blackjack and I'm back to mass indecisiveness again.
The major differences (besides $200) that I see are:
8525 has Wi-Fi
Blackjack is thinner and lighter
8525 has bigger screen
8525 has better camera

Unfortunately the local Cingular stores do not have the 8525 in yet so I can't go in and look in person and handle them. Does anyone have any experience with comparing them.
I know, I'm obsessing, and it's killing my work productivity today.

I currently have the 8125. But now I see that a new version(the 8525) is out. so I'm asking anyonw who has the 8525, is it worth the upgrade from the 8125 or should I just keep my phone. I need details, what are the main changes?????? Thanks 😁

Can somebody explain me what are the pros and cons of unlocked version? Does it really worth extra $400?
Thank you!

Since ActiveSync 4.2 doesn't backup a device so you can restore the 8525 to a previous state-total backup i.e. programs, settings, etc. like previous versions of ActiveSync, I'm looking for something to do this. 'Sprite' looks good. Anybody have thoughts on this program or any others/other solutions?

Backing up like this came in handy with my old HP Hw 6525, I want something in case I have issues with the 8525 & to avoid the pain of having to re-install all programs/setting, etc.

Can someone tell me if it's possible to type a text msg using the touchscreen keyboard and T9 on this phone?

Can people provide some feedback as to how Agile Messenger works on your Cingular 8525?
I am seeing some issues with speed and the occasionaly it sends me weird characters?

Are there any other sugguestions for Instant Messaging Applications?

How has Cingular Xpress Mail work on your 8525? Any problems?

Has anyone found the subfolder that contains all the default alert tones, (not ringtones) i.e. - notifications, SMS alerts, Email alerts etc. I'd like to be able to change those alerts to user defined files, but I can't find the folder they're in. Usually, you can Copy/Paste any file to the folder, but I've explored all Windows folders, and can't find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I bought the cingular 8525 about 10 days ago. The first 10 days were great. I was able to install and use a lot of programs successfully. I was truly amazed. I dont consider myself very technical. I install Agile Messenger and this morning I left it open while I tested it out (so I left it open all day with a few other programs).

Anyways, something happen between 3PM and 6pm. The phone refuses to power on. When I got back from my meeting the phone was off. I initially thougt that perhaps the battery was sucked dry due to running too many apps. But after 1 hour of charging the device. It refuses to power up at all.

Do I need the battery to charge for more than 1 hour to get it to power on? Or Has this device crashed? I am...

Cingular has informed me they do not offer insurance on my 8525

is there any other options available?

how long is the delay time??

I won an E62 - and just sold my 8125! Should I sell the E62 and get the 8525?!?

anyone have a sling box for their phone and how do they like it?

I have had the phone for over 2 weeks, it's wonderful. 2 little things, though. The first is VERY minor. My old Nokia 6820 had a feature called "profiles", and you could set a timer to have the ringer go from vibrate/silent to ringing again. Can the 8525 do that, somehow? The other thing: at random times (usually when futzing with the internet), if I have the Bluetooth on and the phone rings, and I push the talk button, it often answers on the regular phone speaker, not the Bluetooth. Does anyone know what the story is with that? Thanks...
