HTC Diamond does not wake up when a SMS comes in

If you are an owner of the sexy HTC Diamond, there is one thing that will annoy you the most especially if you are coming from some other Windows Mobile device: the device won’t wake up when an SMS comes in.

htc diamond does not wake sms comes in

Just make the following changes in the registry of the HTC Diamond. You can use any of the registry editor.

Go to HKLMDriversBuiltInRIL > find the DisableSMSWakeUpEvent > Change value to 0 > Soft Reset.

Some popular registry editors are “Resco registry”. It comes with Resco File explorer. You can also use PHM Registry Editor to perform the same action but the developer of PHM registry editor is no longer offering the application on his website.

ASUS introduces it's EEE PC 901 with HSDPA (3.75G)

Till now, the UMPCs had the edge over the Netbooks in one area: most of them used to come with in-built 3G modem or HSDPA. The ASUS EEE PC 901 is the first netbook with built-in HSDPA!

With 3.75G, the Eee PC™ will be able to deliver on its promise of borderless one-day computing better than ever before. No longer bound to Internet hotspots, 3.75G-equipped Eee PC™ users will be able to enjoy low latency mobile broadband Internet access at high downlink and uplink speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps and 2 Mbps respectively, regardless of where they are—ensuring a seamless connected experience on the go.

It is really nice that ASUS has taken the initiative to be the first one to come with first 3.75G enabled netbook. It will let the people to enjoy high speed internet without lugging around that HSDPA dongle. :)

HTC Diamond offers true USB 2.0 speeds

I am well aware of the fact the Nokias and Sony ericssons have having the USB 2.0 speeds from quite some time but this news is not so old for the Windows Mobile devices. The maximum speed the windows mobile devices could achive was just USB 1.1.

The HTC Diamond offers true USB 2.0 . I was able to transfer a 700MB movie, “Never Back Down” to my Diamond in less than 4mins!

FingerTouch Pro custom layout guide

Meda Chiorean at Teksoft has recently published an article regarding customizing the layout of the popular application FingerTouch Pro.

Fingertouch Professional is by FAR the best keyboard released for the Pocket PC platform. Big, finger friendly keys, fT9 technology, UltraKeyboard technology, predictive keyboard, multiple languages, drag-and-drop configurable keyboard, gestures, skins, magnifier, are just a few to provide an insight into the thought and research that went into developing this program. Entering text on your Pocket PC has never been this fast!

I really appreciate the step-by-step tutorial of how to customize the keybaord layout. The article highlights the fact that how much the FingerTouch Pro is customizable and modifying the layout of the keyboard is not difficult at all!

Windows Mobile 7 officially delayed – what now?

Ina at Cnet says,

Microsoft has informed some of its partners that it has had to delay Windows Mobile 7, a much anticipated update to its cell phone operating system.

With the Android news all over the web, I don’t have a happy news to share about regarding Windows Mobile. Microsoft had earlier said that it would be able to deliver Windows Mobile 7 by early part of next year, but, now the story has changed. Now, they say that they will not be able to deliver before second half of next year.

This inturns means that new Windows Mobile 7 devices will hit the horizon at the end of the 2009. This is not a happy news for the Windows Mobile community.
