Ok i will put it to admin and the other mods - was thinking the same thing the other day.

[hokie36]

I'll have to second this again. The Cavalier could really use it's own Thread.

[SecureGSM]

We need Cavalier forum please.

[jonnywifi]

Please create the HTC Cavalier/Dopod C730/HTC S630 forum.

Thanks!

[Menneisyys]

OK, I repost the request to other mods.

[dogmood]

Support to have a Cavalier forum

[ibeqa]

Strange, very strange!!!

HTC Cavalier for the moment is the best WM Smartphone money can buy and still there is no separate forum for this device. Even HTC Oxygen (technicly the worst HTC Smartphone) has it's separate forum.

Strange, very strange!!!

Cheers,

[dogmood]

Yes why!!!

Apart from the iME problem, it is fast, new tech for the scroll and light sensor..why it is ignored?

[chaznet]

...is it really selling well enough to have it's own area? Other than when it was released, you really don't hear that much about it.

Try google you will find your answes there. FYI, HOFO has full 41 pages on Cavalier.

Right... There was a lot of info just prior to it's release, and then some reviews right after -- but it doesn't seem to have been picked up by a lot of carriers (at least here in the states). Have many of them sold?

Maybe they should create a forum for 'Other' smartphones that never really took off, and you could talk about it there?

I know one thing that Cavalier is selling better than Oxygen, StarTrek, Monet and Breeze and finally it has better techical specs than any other smartphone on the market. Why carriers aren't picking it up, I really don't know and don't care as I don't buy phones with contract.
So your idea of "other" forum is good for above named phones but not for Cavalier.
There is another thing, HTC still did not anounce Cavalier for the rest of the world (except Asia), maybe this is why carriers aren't picking it up. If you want to get the device simply order it without a contract (for now). Even if this device goes on sale only on Asian Continet that does not meen that other people wont get it and that "it will not take off".

Sounds like you're happy with it, must be a nice device.

I just got a Cavalier (Softbank X02HT) - Nice device - It would be nice to have a forum for it to share information about all the ins and outs.

[profitoral]

Yes, a forum would be nice!

Thanks.

Yeah, I have been part of those 40+ pages on HoFo but that really just talks about the phone. I would like to know some new hacks and such.

[khammo01]

My thoughts exactly. That is a user forum, not a hacker forum. I have several hacks I would like to post in that forum. For example:
After successfully unlocking the Application / security locks, I have succeeded making cleartype Japanese fonts from Meiryo (MeiryoKe), reducing size of fonts for reading and composing messages, and size of fonts for pop up menus (but not buttons).
I also succeeded to divert have incoming SMS messages get delivered to Pocket Outlook instead of the Softbank Mail application, but still have MMS (S! Mail) functionality handled by that application. (It seems that I can send outgoing SMS by either application)
I also figured out how to remap buttons and found out how to disable the Softbank Mail button on the Joggr (which was pretty annoying because I would accidentally hit it all the time, so I had to disable the entire Joggr).
I'm looking for information about how to enable Internet Connection Sharing - I haven't been able to get this working yet.

[TheDaddy]

There's no forum, so I'll post here . . .

khammo01: have you posted your overall experience with X02HT anywhere yet? I'm using X01HT now -- WM6 in eigo. I'm guessing the X02HT came from Softbank already in English, right? If I switch over to the X02HT, I assume that the level of hacking I will have to do is much less than what I went through to get my X01HT working. The hacks you are mentioning are fairly minor tweaks, so am I correct in my assumption?

Thanks!

Well, it seems that xda-developers are gonna treat Cavalear as HTC does - as a "Bastard".

Pity...

I haven't posted my overall experience - there is no forum to do so! In a nutshell, you are right - the X02HT supports both English and Japanese interfaces right out of the box. It also comes with a decent Softbank mail app that works very well with both SMS and S!Mail. The only signfiicant hack I did was to direct SMS to be delivered to Pocket Outlook instead of Softbank Mail app. Otherwise, the only hacks I have had to do are for my own convenience or aesthetics. It would be nice if I could hack it for predictive English text (it only does predictive Japanese text input) and if I could SIM unlock it and get Internet sharing to work. But all three of these are fairly major undertakings and unlikely to succeed without messing around with DLLs.

If you have never used a non-touchscreen WM smartphone before, be prepared for a learning curve, as the user interface for these devices are significantly different, and the OS platform is different enough that most software needs to be specifically modified to support either PocketPC edition or Smartphone edition (WM6 professional or standard - damn I wish they would avoid nondescriptive terms like that!)

We really need a forum for the Cavalier or there is going to be a huge mess. Does anyone know a moderator who can arrange this??

Put simply, look in your Windows folder and you might see a LONG_END.lnk and a LONG_HOME.lnk. basically, all you need to do is make shortcuts named "SHORT_CAMERA.lnk", "LONG_CAMERA.lnk", "Short_POC.lnk" and "LONG_POC.lnk" containing the application you want to run.

The POC links modify behavior of the "manner" and "voice dial" buton on the left of the device. The "Camera" links naturally modify behavior of the camera button.

I mapped Pocket Outlook (tmail) to short_POC.lnk, personally.

Copy these to the Windows folder. Make a backup of any files that might already be there.
To restore original function, delete the files you put there and restore any backup copies, if required.

For the Joggr Mail button, modify the text for the following registry string:
I just set mine to a single space to disable the S! Mail.
hkeycurrentuser/system/controlpanel/jogbar/settings/bottomkeyapplication

[ikkoku]

another vote for a cavalier forum. what's the delay?

[rssetiawan]

strongly agreed! we NEED a forum for HTC Cavalier! This is the best WM6 Standard phone in store... and it's SHAMEFUL not to have a CID unlock on it... and even on HTC sites, there are NOTHING about HTC S630!!! Why why why?

[benjimen]

Well... no matter how much you like it or how good it is, it just didn't catch on :(

[jellois]

.... if I could SIM unlock it .....:D

I can't wait for the SIM unlock:rolleyes: .... I don't want to change to softbank just too use it.
I'm on docomo... but, I just bought a X02HT and now, I'm wondering what to do.... I wonder how long it will take someone to figure out how to unlock it...

An ideas? Should I resell it or wait it out...:confused:


*Oh yes, I would be nice to have HTC Cavalier forum....hint hint hint ^___^ *

[Jomake]

i agree so much. we need a cavalier forum and most of all a way to unlock this little darling. and going beyond wildest dreams maybe a way how to use imode mail with it... :p

[ttang]

After successfully unlocking the Application / security locks, I have succeeded making cleartype Japanese fonts from Meiryo (MeiryoKe), reducing size of fonts for reading and composing messages, and size of fonts for pop up menus (but not buttons).
I would really like to know how you were able to undo the application /security locks. I've tried many of the applications that seemed to work for some of the HTC Cavalier brands but no luck.

SDA unlock will do the trick.

[junulrik]

Hi friends! Like you, I have a X02HT but my problem is unlocking. Please check on the plemix.com, they are selling unlocked X02HT. There must be unlocking solution available now.

[Avalandiel]

Please create the HTC Cavalier/Dopod C730/HTC S630 forum.

Thanks!

I couldn't agree more! :)
