around through the wire. The AT&T 8925, as you may
already know, was bandying around as the HTC Tilt for some time. This is
because, unlike the 8125 and 8525 (Wizard and Hermes) which preceded it,
the display on the 8925 actually tilts upwards after you slide out the
QWERTY keyboard. This provides for a more ergonomic form factor and a
feel more akin to a mini laptop.
That’s right! AT&T has finally released the
HTC Tilt. As a successor to the 8525, this smartphone comes jam
packed with Windows Mobile 6 operating system, Mobile Office, 2.8-inch
screen, GPS with TeleNav functionality, Push to Talk, standard IM
program, slide-out and fold-up keyboard, glorious HTC-style QWERTY keys,
Wi-Fi, 3MP camera, Push Email, and 3G HSDPA. You can get this gadget for
$149.00 with two-year contract starting Friday October 5

Navigator 5.0.
Cingular Wireless LLC's new 8525 smart phone is a slick
device that packs a lot of features into a small package. Most notably, it
uses the newest generation of data input for small devices that not only
makes entering information simpler but also helps make the entire device
easier to use.
The first wave of data input was handwriting-like shorthand, which was
made popular by early Palm Pilots. The second wave was thumb-typing
keyboards embedded into the front of the device, first popularized by the
BlackBerry.
Cingular's 8525 more satisfying approach is a small keyboard that
slides out the side of the device. As the 8525 proves, this approach
offers a relatively large keyboard -- for a smart phone -- without
sacrificing screen size or creating a bulky device.
The slide-out keyboard allows Cingular to use a 2.8-in.,
320-by-240-pixel display in roughly the same size as similar devices. My
Treo 700w, for example, is about the same overall size but has only a
240-by-240 display. Like other devices with slide-out keyboards, the
screen operates in portrait mode with the keyboard stowed and switches
automatically to landscape when you slide the keyboard out. The wider
landscape display on the 8525 comes in handy when browsing the Web and
gives the screen more height when the keyboard is retracted.
In addition, Cingular did a good job with other aspects of the 8525's
interface. For instance, almost all of the buttons on the face of the
phone are duplicated on the keyboard, except the buttons for starting and
ending calls. The device also has a jog-wheel on the side and some
assignable buttons. The reset is mercifully located on the bottom of the
phone, so there's no need to pop back covers, as is the case with the Palm
Treo. There's also a button on the side reserved for Cingular's upcoming
push-to-talk service. Notably missing, however, is a volume control or
audio silence button; you must find and use the volume control menu to
change or turn off the speaker.
Communications Swiss Army knife
Beyond its interface, the 8525 is, without question, a very solid
Windows Mobile smart phone. Besides running a whole host of applications
developed for that operating system, it's a Swiss Army knife of
communications, with support for Wi-Fi (both 802.11a and g), Bluetooth and
Cingular's 3G network. It can serve as a 3G modem for laptops using either
a cable or Bluetooth.
Setting up the Wi-Fi connection was painless, even with WPA security
enabled. The biggest benefit to Wi-Fi on a smart phone is that it allows
connections when 3G coverage is poor, which typically is the case once you
get out of major cities. It also means that when you have Wi-Fi access,
you can use a voice-over-IP service like Skype to make calls instead of
spending your talk time minutes.
On the downside, I was a bit peeved with Cingular's Xpress
Mail for desktop mail syncing. I've become addicted to Verizon
Communications Inc.'s Wireless Sync, which keeps my mail, contacts and
calendar in sync automatically, even though I don't have an Exchange
server. However, Cingular's software can only perform those tasks if you
run some server-based corporate software such as Microsoft Exchange or
Lotus Notes. You can read your mail without such a system, but that's
about it. To sync contacts, you must perform a standard sync with your
desktop computer.
Powerful and media-ready
With a 400-MHz processor, the Cingular 8525 has plenty of horsepower.
There's also 64MB of RAM, with 51MB available to the user. On a fresh
start-up with nothing running, I saw nearly 31MB of memory free. Depending
on applications, this is a big advantage over my Treo 700w, which can have
as little as 16MB free after start-up.
As a Windows Mobile device, it includes Windows Media Player 10 for
audio and video playback. To store your tunes, you'd use the Mini-SD slot
on the side.
The Cingular 8525 also sports a 2-megapixel camera. The user interface
for the camera is quite nice, overlaying information about camera settings
over the displayed image like a real digital camera would. Like most
camera phones, what it badly lacks is a credible flash. The 8525
substitutes a lame LED (one of several new phones to do this), which makes
no real difference to the picture beyond about a foot.
The device comes with a number of add-on services preinstalled. For
example, you can subscribe to MobiTV, which lets you watch channels such
as CNN and Lifetime on your phone. This isn't an exclusive for Cingular,
but Cingular does let you pay for it on your cell phone bill rather than
as a separate subscription. You can also install TeleNav, a TomTom-like
navigation program. However, since there's no user-accessible Global
Positioning System function on the phone, you'll need a separate Bluetooth
GPS to make use of it.
Overall, the Cingular 8525 is fast, memory-efficient and well-designed
smart phone made particularly attractive by an intelligent keyboard design
and relatively large display. It's an excellent choice for corporate road
warriors and geeks on the run.
2-In-1 Features: synchronize and charge
smartphone with any USB-enabled Notebook/PC. The USB docking cradle
holds your smartphone at a comfortable reading angle and provides
convenient access on your desk. Portable Design - Convenient for
travelers and business users. Bonus - Charge your smartphone on the
cradle with AC adapter when PC/notebook not available. Include: USB
data cable, AC adapter & stylus Only fits phone with
standard/original size battery only.,
I cannot remember how I survived without wireless
networking. I have one in my home and frequently access public
hotspots in my community to dash off a quick e-mail or instant
message. I have even used airport and hotel hotspots to remotely
manage projects while on vacation or on business trips. Now that I
can connect to the Web anywhere, I'm more efficient than ever
before!
Unfortunately, finding a Wi-Fi hotspot is
sometimes easier than connecting to it. The networking software
built into Wi-Fi equipped Windows Mobile devices is sometimes tough
to use, and networks with encryption and other security measures can
make it difficult to get online. The software applications discussed
in this article can help you find and connect to wireless networks.
In addition, they add some incredible additional features to your
Wi-Fi equipped device.
Locate hotspots quickly
The first step in wireless networking is finding a
hotspot. Wi-Fi is nothing more than a short range, two-way radio
that handles data rather than voice communications. Wi-Fi equipped
Windows Mobile devices come with software that lets you control the
Wi-Fi radio built into the device. You can use the radio/software
combination to "sniff out" the signals coming from a Wi-Fi hotspot,
determine their strength, and establish a connection between the
hotspot and your device.
As mentioned, the built-in networking software
(a.k.a., "Wi-Fi manager") is sometimes difficult to use.
Fortunately, there are third-party solutions available, and one of
the best is Socket Wi-Fi Companion (http://www.socketcom.com/).
This program quickly scans the area for available wireless networks
and shows you each one with their signal strength (Fig. 1) as well
as any encryption measures the hotspot may employ.
Fig. 1: The Socket Wi-Fi Companion gives you
one-tap access to wireless networks in your immediate area.
To connect to a network, simply tap on a hotspot
name in the list and tap on "Get Connected." Wi-Fi Companion will
take care of all the settings and automatically download a security
certificate if the wireless network requires one.
Once you're connected, Wi-Fi Companion offers a
new set of helpful utilities. The screen includes a pop-up menu for
single tap access to surf the Web or check e-mail, as well as for
launching Socket's Wi-Fi utility applications (Ping and Trace
Route).
A special Power Save feature allows you to specify
whether you'd like to have the best battery savings, best network
performance or a balance between the two. This dialog will change
how the Wi-Fi Companion controls the power to the wireless radio to
help you conserve battery power or maintain a stable wireless
connection. You can also select an "automatic management" feature,
which automatically adjusts the power up for better reception, when
you're device is connected to a AC power adapter and down to
conserve battery power, when you're not.
The Wi-Fi Companion software ships with two
utility applications, Wi-Fi Ping and Wi-Fi TraceRoute. These
applications can help you troubleshoot network problems by checking
the range of your network and will check each "hop" your wireless
connection makes to find where delays in communications are
occuring.
Wi-Fi Companion is available from Socket
Communications for $24.99 and a 3-day trial version is available on
their Web site (http://www.socketcom.com/). The
Wi-Fi Companion requires ActiveSync 4.0 to install the application
on to a Pocket PC.
Map your local hotspots
When wireless networks first began appearing, a
hobby called "wardriving" was born. Users would drive around their
neighborhoods with GPS-equipped laptops and map all of the wireless
networks in the area. This information could be uploaded to a Web
site to share with other users. NeoHunt simplifies
wardriving with your Pocket PC. As you move around, the software
displays all of the available wireless networks (Fig 2) on-screen.
If your Pocket PC is equipped with a GPS receiver, the software
integrates with it to map the coordinates of the Wi-Fi networks you
encounter.
Fig. 2: NeoHunt scans the area for wireless
networks and stores the GPS coordinates of each hotspot.
Data can be imported into Pocket Streets to
display where you located hotspots on a street map or imported into
Microsoft's Terraserver. The developer has no immediate plans to
support the WM5 feature that allows shared use of the GPS data. This
means you cannot run another application that accesses the GPS
receiver, (for example, a navigation program that provides driving
directions) while you map hotspots using neoHunt. In addition, I had
difficulty getting the software to work with some Bluetooth GPS
accessories. So make sure you install and experiment with the trial
version of the application to make sure it works with your equipment
before you purchase it.
More information and a link to a trial download
are available on the developer's German language Web site (http://www.playseven.com/) or
on the special English language site he's created for his .NET
applications (http://www.dotnetux.net/). You
can also purchase the software directly from Handango.com for
$15.

FAQ's on 8125
Can you use Skype with it?
We were able to get Skype up and
running with absolutely no problems, but we weren’t able to use a regular
headset because the Universal has a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Does it
have a Widcomm Bluetooth stack or a Microsoft Bluetooth
stack?
Widcomm. UPDATE: Or at least our pre-production unit did.
Apparently the i-mate JASJAR and T-Mobile MDA Pro have the Microsoft
stack.
Will this be available from any US carriers?
No US
carriers are planning to offer the Universal, at least not as far as we
know.
How is data on the phone?
We weren’t able to’s GPRS
worked just fine. No EDGE, sadly.
Quad-band GSM?
The version
we have is tri-band (900/1800/1900), however other versions could go quad
just like AT&T/Cingular did with the HTC Typhoon (quad-band was only
available on the U.S. version of that phone).
Can the camera shoot
video?
The camera can be used to shoot video. You have the option
of shooting either MPEG-4 or Motion JPEG with a resolution up to 320 x
240.
Does it come with a cradle?
No cradle, but supposedly
one might be available eventually.
USB 2.0?
Yup.
How
solid is the swivel neck?
Seems pretty solid, but you probably
wouldn’t want to find out the hard way how easy it is to
break.
Does the joypad change along with the landscape/portrait
orientation?
Yup. It’ all automatic
Milliamps of the
battery? Is it swappable?
1620 mA. And the battery is
swappable.
Comparison shots with the Treo 650?
Of course.
We’ll have a gallery of hands-on shots up later today.
Does it have
Bluetooth 2.0?
Nope, just Bluetooth 1.2.
Is the keyboard
backlit?
Yeah, it has very slick, almost sinister, red LED
backlight.
The Blue Angel’s WiFi signal sucked! Has the problem
been fixed with the Universal?
WiFi is way, way better on the
Universal, both in terms of signal strength and in terms of ease of use.
We were able to easily get online with the Universal here at Engadget HQ,
the phone auto-detected our wireless network and then prompted us to enter
our passkey and that was it, we were good to go. Switching between WiFi
and GPRS was a little tricky, but after a few minutes we were able to
figure it out.
Ability to use WiFi and WAN at the same
time?
Not as far as we can tell, though it’s possible that we
haven’t figured it out yet.
Is it useable as a phone?
It is
definitely useable as a phone, but it’s not great and if you’re planning
on making a lot of calls you’ll probably want to use a Bluetooth headset.
To be honest, if you’re someone who is going to be using this thing more
as a phone than as a PDA, you probably won’t be happy.
How is the
screen for watching films?
The screen is great for watching films,
really crisp and clear. We tried watching videos with both Windows Media
Player and TCPMP, both worked fine, though we got plenty of stuttering
when we tried to play back a full 640 x 480 res video with
TCPMP.
Is the keyboard easy to use?
The keyboard is very
easy to use, but it definitely requires the use both hands. The keys were
also surprisingly tactile, we’ve played with earlier versions of the
Universal where the keys weren’t so hot.
USB or mini
USB?
Mini USB.
Can you easily make calls without opening it
up?
You can answer calls without opening it up — it has two buttons
for taking and ending calls on the side – but unless you use a Bluetooth
headset and voice recognition, it doesn’t look like there is any way to
make calls without opening it up.
Word/PDF/Excel?
It has
Windows Mobile versions of Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, and you can
install a PDF reader on there.
Phone call sound
quality?
Call quality was about average for a
cellphone.
How are the stereo speakers?
Very small and very
tinny – which is about what you’d expect for tiny little speakers. It’s
possible to listen to music or watch a video, but you’ll probably want to
use headphones if you can. Still, if you’re hanging out with friends and
want to play them a song or show them a video it’ll get the job
done.
Will there be a version without a camera?
None is
planned, but it is possible that a carrier could ask for a version without
a camera.
Can you use it with VNC?
Wasn’t able to get Pocket
VNC working, not sure if it’s an incompatibility with WM5.0 or something
else, but we were able to get Remote Desktop working ok.
Can you
answer calls when it’s closed? Is there a small external
screen?
You can answer calls while it’s closed, there are two
buttons for answering and ending calls on the outside. There isn’t another
screen besides the main one.
Vibrating appointment
alarms?
Yup.
Is that an SDIO slot?
Yup.
What
Bluetooth profiles are included? Does it support A2DP?
It includes
the Hands-Free and Headset profiles, but not A2DP. Our contact at MSFT
says that A2DP support is coming.
Can you attach a hard drive to it
via WM5.0’s USB on the Go support?
Yup.
Streaming video over
WiFi? Can you multitask while doing it?
We were able to stream
video over WiFi and successfully multitask while doing it. Multitasking in
general felt very good. The phone is surprisingly snappy, we didn’t see
much lag at all jumping between apps, well, except when we had a whole
bunch of different programs open at on

continue throughout our lives. To compute a person's biorhythm for a given
day, all you need is their date of birth plus the correct mathematical
calculations.
We are influenced by the changing of the seasons,
the lunar tides, day and night, etc. Even the human body is influenced by
these factors, which are known as biorhythms. With Orneta Biorhythm you

PREVIEW: Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 AKU 2
Bluetooth A2DP Profile osted by Arne Hess - at Thursday, 01.12.05 -
23:55:27 CET under 07 -
Reviews - Viewed 43205x Last week I
wrote the first time about the next coming Windows Mobile 5.0 AKU 2 and it's new
Bluetooth features and the announced support for the Bluetooth A2DP
Profile and today I had the chance to test it the first time! What
means A2DP for you? Basically it provides you Bluetooth stereo support for
headsets which means you can listen
your favorite music without any disturbing wires. That's cool and handy
and in the future - I'm sure - we will see more and more car stereo devices which supports it
as an input method as well which means as soon as you enter your car, your
device will connects with your car stereo and you can continue listening
your music on your car stereo!
So the question is how Microsoft has implemented A2DP in Windows
Mobile 5.0 AKU 2. So far, the A2DP profile wasn't available on Windows Mobile devices except the
Samsung SGH-i300 where Samsung added it on their own, with the help of a
third party developer. But now, with AKU 2, A2DP will becomes a native
feature of Windows Mobile 5.0 which means you can connect it with
basically any A2DP-compliant device!
The Bluetooth connection wizard hasn't changed on the first
sight and provides you an overview about all available Bluetooth devices
around you:
A2DP
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
A Bluetooth
profile (mode) for streaming audio, such as from a music phone to

Alex's Backup Battery
A
PDA with a dead battery is like … well, it’s like any other
battery-powered device with a dead battery. Dark and sad and not terribly
useful. No doubt that’s why our Cingular 8125 Battery Extender is a
popular choice for people who need 100% certainty that their PDA can be
charged – even when they don’t have their charger or they’re miles and
miles from the nearest electrical outlet.
The Cingular 8125 Battery
Extender is an ingenious device powered by 4AA batteries. Its proprietary
technology draws a charge from the AA batteries and transfers it to your
PDA, thus providing it with the electric power that is its required
sustenance. Even if your PDA is 100% drained – stone cold PDA d-e-a-d –
the Cingular 8125 Battery Extender can bring it back to life not once, not
twice, but, in fact, 2.5 times. That’s right: You get two-and-a-half
complete charges from one set of AA batteries. And it’s fast too: the
Battery Extender takes your PDA from zero to 45% charged in just 20
minutes!
Now, in case you’re worried all this fancy charging is
damaging your PDA, rest assured: Special circuit design protects your PDA
from overcharging and short-circuiting. An LED indicator light lets you
know when your PDA is charged. And by the way, you can use your PDA right
away, while it’s charging – you don’t have to wait till it’s
done.
Love charging? Well, then in addition to the Cingular 8125
Battery Extender, why not treat yourself to a Car
Charger?

these steps to ensure that:
Start Menu > Settings > Connections >
Bluetooth
Ensure that both the Turn Bluetooth On and
Make This Device Discoverable to Other Devices check boxes

need to pair the smartphone and the PC:
Start Menu > Programs > My Bluetooth

Registry Tweaks That’s it
for software, now on to the registry tweaks. I performed the following
registry tweaks on my device, all using the aforementioned Total
Commander:
Speed boost – don’t ask my why this works, I’m not smart
enough to know, but it does. Use Total Commander to navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\ Assign a value of 4096
to CacheSize Assign a value of 1 to EnableCache Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\ Assign
a value of 4096 to ReplStoreCacheSize Perform a soft reset
Disable menu animation – removes menu animation which uses up
system resources. Use Total Command to navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu Assign a value of 0 to AniType
Perform a soft reset
Keyboard status indicator – adds a handy
indicator that shows you when caps lock and symbol lock are activated on
your keyboard. Use Total Commander to navigate to
\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keyb Create a new entry with the name
EnableIndicator Assign the new entry a DWORD value of 1 perform a
soft reset
Increase screen performance – this tweak increases your
screen cache which allows yours screen and fonts to change faster. Beware
that this also removes some resources from your general memory as
well.
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE" Change "limit"
from "8192" (default) to "16384" Perform a soft reset
Reassign
left softkey on Today screen to open Notes application Use Total
Command to navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11
2 Change the “Default” key to the name that you want to appear on the
button (in my case Notes) Change the “Open” value to the location of
the program you want to open (in my case “Windows/Notes.exe” Perform a
soft reset
Overclocking Your
Cingular 8125
Warning: Overclocking is risky. You use
the contents of this article at your own risk! Overclocking the CPU
too much will destroy your device. There is always a degree
of uncertainty when overclocking CPU.
Overclocking your
Cingular 8125 is a breeze with a program called OMAPclock. It was
originally intended to increase the range of the MPx smartphones,
but works with the Cingular 8125 and (in theory) any other HTC phone
with a Texas Instruments OMAP processor.
It has been tested
at 228mhz and 240mhz on a Cingular 8125 with stable, favorable
results. At these speeds, battery life will be noticeably reduced,
but should not damage your hardware.
To upgrade your 8125 to take advantage of
the new MSFP feature pack, follow the steps
below.
Note: All information including settings,
contacts, and third-party programs will be removed from the
device and must be reinstalled after the upgrade. The upgrade
process should take about 10 minutes.
Download the new ROM for the 8125 from this link CLICK HERE
Select Save and store the file on your desktop
Connect your Cingular 8125 with the PC, using the USB
cable and establish an ActiveSync session.
You can connect to a computer as a Guest
Double-click the downloaded file and follow the
instructions.
Your battery must have more than 50% remaining
Do not disconnect the device during this process
You may notice that the upgrade
process indicator will appear to stall at around 85% for
several minutes. Do not disconnect your device as this is
normal
behavior

Cingular 8125 Registry Hacks
8125 Registry Hacks
Increase your 8125 speed The
following registry tweaks will increase the operating speed of your HTC
Wizard:
Use Total Commander to navigate to

to CacheSize Assign a value of 1 to EnableCache Navigate
to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f
sreplxfilt\ Assign a value of 4096 to

Menu Speed
To disable menu animations (sliding in/out):
HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\AniType = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To change it
back to the default (enable it): HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\AniType = 6
(DWORD decimal)
non-transition
To disable window animations (like in minimizing and
maximizing) change the following registry values:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Animate = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to switch them
back on: HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Animate = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Scrollbar Size
For the horizontal scrollbar (the one on the bottom):
HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
For the vertical
scrollbar (the one on the right): HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = 9 (DWORD
decimal)
The default thickness is 13. I changed mine to 18 and
it's now much easier to use one-handed, stylus free for scrolling and
tapping about.
del.icio.us One of the problems with how the UI works
with Windows Mobile 5 is that the "x" at the upper right hand corner of
each window doesn't necessarily actually close the applications. Rather it
just minimizes them (to use a Windows analogy).
So when you begin
to open up all of your apps and see your MDA bogging down, it's probably
time stop some (or all) of those running apps.
Did you know that
if your system bogs down it negatively affects your ability to place and
receive phone calls?
This is how to stop them and free up some
memory... One of the problems with how the UI works with Windows Mobile 5

Until we
figure out another way of making things run faster (besides overclocking),
this is one way to make sure things run smoothly for you.
The default storage of the "My Documents" folder is fine,
but if like storing all of your stuff there, you may want to move the
default location from the phone to your miniSD card.

Mofify\Create the following: String Bane:
