Add More Functionality to Your TF3D People Tab

by

For those of you familiar with the Touch HD, you’re probably aware that their People tab has a little more functionality than the Touch Pro’s. Under the photo it has quick launch buttons to dial a home number, cell number, sms and message (take a look at the photo). And thanks to XDA member showaco … Read more

In Call Recording Enabled For Touch Pro

by

There was a leak a few weeks ago of a Touch HD ROM that had in call recording (ICR) enabled. This was a shock since ICR was supposed to be impossible due to hardware limitation (apparently not). In no time it was ripped from that ROM and ported to other Touch HD ROM’s and now … Read more

Fennec Leak

by

Kernman of XDA provided a link to a leaked version of Fennec (Firefox mobile). As we know, a beta version of Fennec is expected next week. So what can I tell you about the leaked version? It is NOT the beta version scheduled for release. How do I know that? It lacks any form of stability. It is a whopping 23megs, requires a soft reset after installation and installs into the Games folder (which is oddly appropriate since navigating a webpage without a crash is a game). As of now, the load times are mediocre and responsiveness is questionable BUT we can still learn a few things about it. It is VGA and as we’ve seen with some other browsers the font is really really tiny. The keyboard does not automatically pop-up (even the keyboard icon does not come up automatically). You need to begin typing with the physical keyboard and then the onscreen keyboard may appear (this may be a problem for Diamond users unless they set a physical key to toggle the onscreen keyboard). And the default is to load the mobile version of the website (not the full version).

Here are a few photos to give you a sense as to what it currently looks like:

Increase the Size of Your Screen (no Scrollbars)

by

The more I played around with Sensor Scroll on my Fuze (which activates the scroll wheel around the dpad in all applications where there’s a vertical scroll bar) the more I realized that I don’t need a vertical scroll bar on the screen, especially when you consider that we also have Touch Flo at our … Read more

Send Text Messages Through Email

by

Here’s another little known fact (unless you’ve been around long enough to know it:)) which I saw was dug up the other day. If you don’t have an unlimited text messaging plan but you want to Send text message Online you can do it for free – by sending an email. All you do is send … Read more

See More of Your Phone on Your PC

by

Many of you have realized that when connecting your phone over ActiveSync the Windows directory cannot be seen and there are other files that are hidden. Because of this, we’re often forced to do a lot of the changes on our phone using File Explorer or using apps like TotalCommander. There have been plenty of times where going to the Windows directory is needed (like changing the programs located in the Programs directory). Well Rainfreak of PPCGeeks was kind enough to give a set of step by step instructions on how to change this on our PC so we can see all files and the Windows directory and it’s actually embarrassingly easy.
