T-Mobile MDA (HTC Wizard) Call Dropping Issue Fixed

I’ve had the worst problem with my T-Mobile MDA dropping calls about 4 minutes into a call. While the exact time of the drop varied (sometimes up to 10 minutes into a call) it was consistent to the point that everyone I talked to knew about when it would happen.
I’ve been searching all over [...]


Mobile Blogging with Pocket SharpMT

So, I’ve found the Pocket SharpMT mobile blogging client for Pocket PC. I’ve been on the hunt for an offline blogging client that I could use from my PPC for some time.
I’m not sure how I’ll incorporate this into my blogging schedule, as I like to see how everything looks on a PC’s screen [...]


Phone Rebuild

Time for another phone rebuild.  I’ve got so much junk on it that it’s got a sync problem.  Definitely on the device, not an ActiveSync issue.
I’ll be moving from the Qtek 2.17 ROM to the latest T-Mobile USA ROM.  There are many new features in this ROM, even though it has its own flaws.
Again, I’ll [...]

The i-Mate JAQ - Mobile Gadget News

The mobile news this week is fantastic! This time its about iMate and their new JAQ Pocket PC Phone that could be a Moto Q killer!
In a surprise move (at least to me), HTC is not building this device for iMate. It seems that iMate has contracted with another OEM to build a [...]


MDA (Lack of) Volume Control

So my newly upgraded MDA seems to have different volume levels for different sounds. The phone has one level, media player another (both within my expectations) and a different one for reminder sounds.
Yikes!
When a reminder goes off, it seems like 3 times as loud as the ring tone. I’ve been through the sound [...]
