now we have to find out how to enable H icon
it should be in
\HKLM\Driver\BuiltIn\?

Advanced Config will do that all for you- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151

That includes enabling the H icon Scottish, and a TON more.

if you have PHM regedit do this to enable Cleartype
\HKLM\system\GDI
add new key, and name it as
CLEARTYPE
save, power cycle it, and enjoy cleartype

anyone able to tether and talk at the same time?
seems like tethering stops as soon as im on the phone.
i was under the assumption that tethering and talking could be done simultaneously.

yes, I just posted it along with a question in another thread. But yes I was just doing it yesterday at the dentist office. I was browsing while tethered and then my wife called. I kept browsing while talking and it didn't even slow down! (I kepts clicking on speedtest.net)

You have to be on 3G for that to work.

Yeah, 3G can run simultaneous data and voice, EDGE/GPRS cannot.

EDGE/GPRS was designed to be able to run voice and data at same time.
Only some old HTC phones had faulty sw to cut voice while data transmition.

It appears you did not test what you said.
the tools can not enable "H" icon on TP2, and a TON more are not working on TP2 so far.
PPL really need understand what you are talking, many PPL even not never own TP2 here and pretend to be expert to spread false information (may only apply old devices) about TP2.

Well, I'm sorry, it has enabled it on my past devices (Tilt, Fuze). I DO NOT spread false info, I was UNAWARE it did not do this on the Touch Pro 2, and I had no reason not to think it wouldn't on this device either. I've been on here a LOT Longer than you have my friend

If you will check my phone list, you will see I have a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2, oops, you must have forgotten to look

I have had many Windows Mobile devices, a Casio Cassiopeia, SDA, MDA, Dash, Tilt, Fuze, Omnia and now a Touch Pro 2, as well as a Symbiam OS device (Nokia 3560), and have a TON of experience with them, please check first before accusing people of "pretending" to be experts and "spreading false info".
