How to Enable the FM Radio on Your Touch Pro2

image 

Update: This cab isn’t working with the Official T-Mo WM 6.5 ROM that was recently released.

The Touch Pro2 does come with a FM Radio that for some reason T-Mobile forgot to include in the TMO ROM. You will need your earphones for it to work because they act as the antenna. Right now I’m listening to some cool jazz on 91.5 in Phoenix.

It does support playing music through the high quality speaker. Just tap the button above the ‘1’ preset. You can also switch back forth from stereo to mono, mute, scan, and more. To get your radio going download and install the HTC_FM_Radio.cab on your Touch Pro2. Enjoy!

Will the HTC Trophy Land on T-Mobile?

There aren’t many devices out there that provide the candybar-QWERTY form factor like a BlackBerry, but we’re keeping an eye on a leak for a Windows Mobile phone that just may bring this form factor, possibly to T-Mobile. It’s called the Trophy, and it has a full QWERTY keyboard with a VGA capacitive display. It’s not often that you get such a high resolution screen in combination with a keyboard and a sleek design. Our best guess is that the Trophy will land in the US in Q2, and whether it goes to T-Mobile or AT&T remains to be seen.

How to Disable the Message Sent Notification on Windows Mobile

If you send any number of messages during the day you will probably find it irritating whenever Windows Mobile decides to tell you that the message was sent. The other way that this could be handled is telling us if the message wasn’t sent. But Noooo, back in the day, pop up happy coders had their run at Microsoft and this bit of code is still irritating people world wide. Perhaps it could account for the high blood pressure and stress levels of the average person.

Good news! The same fix we used on the Original Shadow still works on the newer Windows Mobile Phones. To remove the sms sent notification message from your phone simply download and install this handy cab file aptly named mixtapeking1900-turn-sms-notification-off.

This has been tested on the UMA Shadow, Dash 3G and the Touch Pro2. If you have successfully run this on other devices let us know in the comments! Enjoy!

HTC Obsession to launch on T-Mobile

HTC logo

Of course we don’t know what the official name will be yet but rumors say the Diamond 3 is going to be the nom de plume. This will be one of the first Windows Mobile ‘Seven’ devices to hit the US. Hat’s off to T-Mobile if they follow through on this.

Some quick rumor specs:

  • 1-1.3 GHZ processor
  • 3G of course
  • 3.7 capacitive AMOLED display with MULTI TOUCH
  • 5 MP camera with flash and HD video recording (wow)
  • 512MB RAM/ROM
  • 4GB internal storage
  • microSDHC expansion (of course)
  • 1230 mAH battery (don’t expect this to last more than a few hours of heavy usage)

If this does hit soon I would like to thank the Android OS for giving Microsoft a swift steel-toed kick back into gear. Even though Android and Windows Mobile aren’t related they will be driving each other to better development from now on. If you opened your mailbox to find one of these HTC Obsessions sitting there, would you be excited? Tell us!
