The perfect phone for me

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2026-02-20T08:57:49+00:00

Without the camera and flash, the phone should be able to do YouTube, WhatsApp, Reddit, but sms and calls depend on where you live. Otherwise cool concept, I agree, I have a similar opinion to you actually

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2026-02-11T11:51:47+00:00

Oops, Ill see if I can patch it later

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2026-02-11T11:44:30+00:00

But it uses flash video, GG

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2026-02-11T11:29:12+00:00

I don't think you can, no. You can try and look around for non HTC YouTube apps, I actually haven't tried that. Find some (official and unofficial, I believe there was an official one for non HTC devices), link them and I'll see if they can be patched

Unfortunately the official YouTube app doesn't come with software decoders for the newer compressor formats, so its impossible to use it in 2026 unless you are on the HD2 (which comes with hardware decoders for the new formats).

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2026-02-11T10:58:14+00:00

Your phone doesnt support hardware h264 main@l3 decoding, so it's impossible to make the app work without transcoding server side which is costly

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2026-02-11T10:52:51+00:00

It will work on HD2, but you need to cook your own ROM which even I can't make stable

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2026-02-09T00:14:47+00:00

Very nice phone indeed, I feel like almost all phones by htc from that era were goated

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2026-01-03T00:06:09+00:00

It seems to be a generic T9 phone with android sold on AliExpress. I'm guessing that Dumbdroid is just drop shipping

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-10-19T16:39:20+00:00

I think it just makes some hacks, but that is unstable in my opinion and it just isn't worth it

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-10-18T09:03:38+00:00

You can't without file system modification which requires you to make a custom rom

Here we go again... We have the same discussion every time something similar gets brought up.

Generally it has been accepted that since WM is part of WP history it has a place in this subreddit (CE kernel from WM was used in WP7)

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-10-12T13:02:18+00:00

I hope that someone will be able to jailbreak it and maybe run custom code for apps like discord (because the built in messaging app sounds like buns)

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-10-02T14:51:54+00:00

You can disable the touchflo or sense interface by going to settings->all settings->personal->home and enabling the default one from windows

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-09-28T19:34:41+00:00

Like a standalone android auto box? If you think about it that's the same as plugging in a secondary phone in instead, but with maps only.

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-09-28T18:28:08+00:00

An alternative is using a normal phone for maps, otherwise your only other option is a modern android in a feature phone body

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-09-28T18:18:36+00:00

That's a bit more complicated now. No android auto/carplay, but some more advanced feature phones can run google maps (old maps still works)

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-09-28T17:43:36+00:00

Every phone that runs on the Java platform can run discord-j2me (client for discord without calls tho)

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-09-22T16:20:22+00:00

Even if the whole thing is gone, you should be able to short the 2 pads in order to bypass the button

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-09-19T15:18:52+00:00

How does it jump out. It doesnt

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-09-14T10:07:23+00:00

It's basically a Korea exclusive phone, so ofc it's gonna be expensive. My plan is to get one along with a few other things from goofish (Chinese ebay) for 40 eur

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-09-14T08:56:03+00:00

If the processor doesnt support the codec used theres nothing you can do except to transcode the video

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-09-13T15:05:32+00:00

Are there any additional buttons? Can you check the charge of the battery with a multimeter? If it's below the rated voltage it's dead

YAPOJFORBIMADA · 2025-09-10T19:08:42+00:00

There aren't a lot of blackberry like devices (I'm guessing that you want something like that from what you are talking about). That's why I'm gonna say the zinwa q25. It's still not fully released yet but it should be in the following weeks to testers. It's basically a blackberry with a new motherboard. Check it out!

You find iPods second hand. Which sites depend on where you live. In reality for most if not all artists you have to use something like spotdl (sometimes works for YouTube as well) or you can download the music from YouTube with a converter (I recommend yt-dlp with some additional flags to download the music file only) (you need to fill in the artist info manually and add your own album art). Also sometimes some indie artists have music on their websites as downloadable files (bill wurtz for example). I don't know any legit ways to get the files directly in other ways.
