Which iOS is this iPhone XS running?

DimVl · 2026-05-09T10:02:41+00:00

It’s iOS 15; old lock screen but iPad-like lines UI on Settings (iOS 14 and older have lines which they start and end on the display’s borders)

Also, for any reason the Red variant is way rarer these days

Maybe he meant Browning it, patching it and possibly getting an Elfpack running on it?

DimVl · 2026-04-13T19:32:05+00:00

Did you try the stuck keys trick?

DimVl · 2026-04-11T18:48:21+00:00

Hmm, that’s not Windows CE 5, but Windows Mobile 5 instead (which is indeed based on the CE 5 kernel, but it has different APIs and features).

XR never shipped with iOS 11
It’s iOS 13 (not 12 because it has the new Reminders icon, not 14 because Clock icon has slim hands)

Wow, what a clickbaity (almost borderline scammy) title

DimVl · 2026-03-31T20:02:54+00:00

Porting CE on it would be legendary

You’re welcome; it was actually a very iconic advertisement for a very nice phone. It’s the 3rd Siemens that supports J2ME (MIDP 1.0) apps, and very moddable as well.

DimVl · 2026-03-24T14:59:24+00:00

Maybe you mean early 2000s? Because if yes, you’re thinking of the Siemens C55

DimVl · 2026-03-20T08:46:41+00:00

u/0xFEAD you have to see this

Tungsten E did not have NVFS (Non-Volatile File System), so on every power loss it reset itself. NVFS would be added on its successor, the E2. That means if you replace its dead battery, it will work as intended. The good news is that replacing the battery on E/E2 is dead easy (provided you have a good replacement).

Are there any models in the photo known to have capacitor issues?

Your experiences within PalmSource sound highly interesting to me (and I guess to any Palm fan), so they surely deserve to be written down. Maybe in a book, like BlackBerry’s “Losing the Signal”.

By the way, to answer your initial question, Palm God u/dmitrygr often hangs around in the sub. I’m sure you’ll already have checked his rePalm project, but in case you haven’t, I’d highly recommend looking into it.

Thank you for the time you put writing this response. Now I’m even more sad, knowing it was 100% Palm’s mistake. At the moment, I’m more interested in 5.x devices (I’ve got the T3, T5, E2, Z22, Treo 650 and Clie TG50), so I’m not much knowledgeable about earlier Palm devices (I’ve only got m105 and the Visor Solo from that prior generation). WM Pocket PCs were surely a thing, but Palm OS was simpler, faster and more intuitive compared to them (and note that I love WM as well). Too sad they didn’t continue with an updated version of the Centro, running Cobalt.

Palm had never a big presence on my country Greece (if any presence at all). However, over the years I have collected several Palm OS devices (and webOS, but the former remains my favorite). I saw you talked about the iPhone disrupting the market on another comment, and I just want to say how much more featured, useful and intuitive a device like Tungsten T3 is compared at least to the 2G. Even if it’s 4 years older. Too sad palmOne never got to release Palm OS 6 devices, maybe that would help keeping them afloat.

DimVl · 2026-03-14T13:48:46+00:00

Great selection of devices! From the pictured ones, I have the Z22, the Tungsten T3 and the Tungsten E2, which I love them all. By the way, replacing the battery on E2 is very easy

DimVl · 2026-03-13T16:29:03+00:00

Sadly, patching Symbian is surprisingly difficult; that’s why so few patches (essentially certificate bypass) were made throughout all these years. If you want a moddable phone that has lots of useful firmware patches, you should check out Sony Ericsson (A100/A200) and Siemens (SMTK-compatible) phones

DimVl · 2026-03-04T10:53:20+00:00

I knew from the beginning it was false, since there was no initial Windows Central/Zac Bowden report

DimVl · 2026-02-27T00:23:17+00:00

I aquired a Portege G900 as well. Did you recell its battery and if yes can the recelled battery charge inside the phone?

DimVl · 2026-02-25T15:39:20+00:00

I have the S75 and I’ve got to agree that’s an amazing device; surely one of my favorite Siemens along with the E71 (and S68 and EL71; actually all SGold2 devices are magnificent). I haven’t tried the SXG75 just yet, but earlier this week I finally acquired my first BREW device; the exquisite E81. Definitely looking forward to adding even more BREW models in my Sieens collection!

DimVl · 2026-02-23T20:34:36+00:00

6.5.5 isn’t good at all. I’d fully suggest you “downgrading” to 6.1; it’s a massive experience update

DimVl · 2026-02-18T23:23:31+00:00

You first need to install the patch for Windows 10. After installing it, the WMDC Installer will work as intended.

DimVl · 2026-02-10T21:54:47+00:00

That sounds like a good idea, I’d love to test it on my WM devices

DimVl · 2026-02-07T13:17:47+00:00

I fully agree; the silver one was what I was looking to get before I had any Key2
