SHALLOW HACKER ㋡

I'm gonna start a little wishlist. This is stuff that I can't/ don't know how to do on my HTC Kaiser (aka TyTN II, MDA III etc etc) that I either need to, want to, or simply HAVE to know how to do. I actually started writing this post on the 16th of November, so some of my original issues have already been resolved. Where this applies I'll mention the solution.. - Use t9 (or similar) completion of words when entering text into apps. - Keep the screen flipped horizontal even when the keyboard is shut. -> Solutions: Found a place where I could remap my hardware shortcut keys and lo and behold, there was an option to set a button to flip the screen. So I applied this to one of the hardware buttons and now I can indeed flip the screen on demand. Unfortunately the button is also the walkie-talkie (or soundclip) button in MSN, so now I can't use that. Oh well! - get back the block recognition (kinda like the scribble(?) input on Palms) that I have on my ancient Asus A6...

The source of my 2nd problem was my FON connection... To be more specific, I couldn't use my internet connection (or so it seemed) with any apps other than Internet Explorer! Then I realised I was using the free signal on my FON router. It dawned on me that either the FON boys don't allow other apps to connect over the free FON connection, or it was simply down to the fact that I wasn't logged into FON, so it wasn't letting any traffic thru. ..Although I'm sure there was a moment when I was definitely logged onto FON... hmm. Anyhow. I decided to connect to my non-FON router and my other apps (Skype, Opera mini etc) are happy again :) Grrreat.

Just got a new phone. The HTC TyTn II, also known as many other things including the Kaiser, the p4550, the T-mobile MDA III... :) It's grrreat, but as with any new gadget there are bound to be some stumbling blocks along the way. My first issue was that the Opera Mini browser that I have grown to love having used it on my Nokia 6230i for ages didn't want to connect to the internet :( Eventually I found the very very simple solution on the site above (even tho the solution was in the Opera Mini error msg). I had the date on my phone set incorrectly, and the Opera server apparently didn't like that very much. Once I'd fixed that it worked fine... EXCEPT over WiFi. It works over GPRS (gotta wait 2 months b4 I can use my UMTS sim) but not over WiFi... oh well, that's the next problem that needs to be solved.
