RedRocket1647545505 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yep. Member #1 here. Bought an xv6800 about a week ago. Basic operation is easy enough, however, I'd like to add some programs, change a few settings, and other things I can't think of right now. What's the best way to get into this or where can I read up on how to do it without screwing the damn thing up? What are some must-have applications? I'd like to have an easier way to access the battery % screen. How do I post on CR with this thing? (I can read the site [and others], but it won't let me type anything. Why is that? Is the battery only supposed to last a little over a day with this thing, even with all running programs turned off? Verizon claimed 340 hours of stand-by time. My ass. Anyone else in this crew?

87GT Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I browse the internet on my PSP over wireless to my interwebz routers. I have my own cool crew called "I hacked your e-mail inbox". It totally rules over your drool crew. kekeke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 ppcgeeks.com is a great source as well as xda-developers. I believe thats the same phone I have with sprint. The HTC 6800 or mogul. If so there is a ton of great hacks, and programs, full roms and all kinds of shit. Too much to list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I have a Blackberry 8830 World Edition... and even though Ive had it for about a year, i still dont know how to use everything on it, let alone all the crap you can do with it when its hooked to the computer. You know you can even hook it to a laptop and use it as a modem? Crazy how complicated this stuff has become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 try sprintmogul.net same phone just different carrier. you can get all the software from there. i know my way around this phone so if you have any questions or need programs let me know. you can change the entire look and feel of the phone software wise. and it is easier to use and more functional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 You know you can even hook it to a laptop and use it as a modem? Crazy how complicated this stuff has become. You can use most cell phones as modems. I use mine with my PDA for gps and internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I bought a phone that takes pictures and makes phone calls and I'm happy. Even has some cool games to burn time. Those are the best type of phones! I have one like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Stand by time = phone powered on but not being used.. It'll last a little bit over a day. If I forget to plug it in at night, that fucker is dead by lunchtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl1647545488 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Congratulations on an awesome phone. I've had mine for around 3 months now. This is the software I use: To tether to my laptop for internet (couldn't get the Verizon software to work): http://www.junefabrics.com/pdanet/ Threaded SMS: http://www.iwindowsmobile.com/threaded-sms-messaging.html Windows Live for Windows Mobile: http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windowsmobile/software/windowslive.mspx The Core Pocket Media Player: http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/download-tcpmp-0-81rc-subtitles-plugin.html Yeah, my battery barely lasts a day, that's the only drawback.
