Hi all... I did this bootanimation and was googling how to edit and put bootsound. I don't have that option in the Themes app or in settings-sounds. Does anyone know what name and format, and what folder it has to be in? Yes I have root. Thank you!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] R00TMe:
Hi ! To just add sounds to the boot you just need to place in the part0 folder your sounds as a .WAV file named exactly "audio.wav"so that he play it at boot ! There isn't an option to do that because it's just in the boot animation directly.

I have Samsung Note 3 Neo(SM N750) running Lollipop 5.1.1, since 3 months I'm observing that my phone is not connecting to any wifi network at my office. I have an personal alcatel hotspot to which it connects at home, but it is not connecting to the same device/network at my office location. My colleagues are able to access without issues, infact my phone is not connecting to any of the available networks at this location. Sometimes it connects for few seconds and shows 'Saved, secured' or Authentication error occurred(though entered correct password). After refreshing it goes up to obtaining IP address and then back to saved to secured.

I tried turning off power saving(*#0011#), forget and reconnect but nothing worked.

This is weird as this is location specific issue, not sure what to toggle. Looking for some expert advice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
Hi , pobably your phone is okay but you are not allowed to use those networks. Maybe someone had put the limits how many devices can be connected for example limit is 5 devices , and you are 6 person who is trying to connect and of course it will be just saved . If you are able , try to reset ruter to default settings , also try to onnect to your home network and see if is connecting. Last you can try is to do Factory Reset , but before that back up your data. Good Luck : )
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaquest:
There is no restriction as such, I'm not even able to connect to my colleague's mobile hotspot. Yeah, factory reset is the last option, looking for some hints before I do that.

The taken pictures have a realy bad quality. There is a delay during Shot and next Shot and all moving objekts in normal light conditions are blurry.

I had never seen such a so bad camera on a HTC Phone.
[HTC U12 Life Real Life Review] krupis:
I don't think that the camera is so bad, it is middle-class standard, but I am really disappointed with the HTC camera application. It has no option to set white balance and the pictures taken during artificial lights are really bad. I recommend using another camera app. On the other hand I really like the depth effect (focusing) but it is necessary to use original HTC camera app for it.

Actually I just got mine and more than happy with it coming from HTC 10, specially for the price.

You get exactly what you pay for a mid ranger with awesome battery life. Camera isn't that good but isn't bad either.

I'm tired of spending big bucks for phones where 80% of the gimmicks I don't even use.
[HTC U12 Life Real Life Review] Blake0902:
Thats Great!

Do you mind me asking what country you use it in?

I'm in the US and was not sure about the bands if it would work well with AT&T. I am looking for something with GREAT battery life. My Galaxy S9 is sort of meh at best when it comes to battery life and I have it currently running at mid-range battery conservation mode. Limiting the processor, dimming the screen, having it set to 720p, etc. I do get a TON of work emails on it, as well as teams messages and keep bluetooth on typically for my smartwatch so some of it is probably self-inflicted.
[HTC U12 Life Real Life Review] Arcade King:
Australia here. Not sure about the bands either however is working fantastic for me. So far the battery life is impressive, its quick and responsive but as aforementioned the camera is average but I think it has more to do with the software than anything.

I got the phone from Toby Deals for $255 AUD delivered which is a steal.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marek101:
Hello,

After a decade of not doing C, I find that alot of things have changed when programming c++ native for CE. Even things like:

string somestring;

no longer function. Wow!.

strcpy has been replaced with StringCchCopy. Wow, MS has done a number here... and so on...

Anyhow I searched xda and found allot of good threads. But what if I'm looking at re-learning C++, with a focus on CE programming only? What books and other resources would you recommend, its almost like starting from scratch. I got vs2005 + emu + been reading allot of MSDN, did some basic apps. etc.

BTW: How the .... do you declare a variable length string???

and in VS2005 is running the debugger the only way to get the app to start automatically ???

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marek101:
*bump*, anyone?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Couple of notes:

1) I strongly recommend avoiding VS, it is unbearably slow and balky.

2) strcpy and all the other functions are still supported by c runtime on CE (VS 2005 complains about them but you can ignore it). The problem is all windows API on CE use UNICODE so you have to declare strings as WCHAR (thats MS speak for unsigned short) and use wcscpy, and such.

3) The only book I know on CE specifically is this and I only read the two sample chapters online, so can't really recommend it. (Though the sample chapters were very useful). What you need is to get a good book on Win32 programming that will get you well on your way.

4) There is an MFC class CString which wraps up all string related functions very nicely. If you are not using MFC but clean C/C++ the only thing I can think of is malloc and free or the C++ versions new and delete.

Check out the links in my sig if you want to see code examples of small but functioning apps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robp:
I disagree with levenum's comment on VS, but agree at the same time (weird I know). I wouldn't use VS for native development because it has A LOT of extra features that I think would be useless for native developers. Also, the lighter eVC++ has pretty much everything you need to write native apps.

I had this book called "Programming Windows CE 3.0" or something along those lines a few years ago. I got it for like $3 on Amazon. If you can find an updated version of that (or even the old version would be useful) then you should buy it. It will show you all you need to know to get started. You can learn the new api's from browsing msdn.

If you're only a little rusty with C/C++ I would suggest jumping right in to the Sdk samples and seeing how they do things.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marek101:
Thanks, the reason why I wanted to use VS is so that maybe later I wouldn't mind going into MFC. So having one platform would be nice.

So far I have done some basic things, like drawing, etc, but I find I'm having a harder time making strings and including the api's to work. Almost all of the msdn examples fail to compile properly.

I have an old book MFC for Windows 95 by MS, is it even worth looking at ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] irus:
could you provide some links for msdn. also i know how to program in c but how do i compile a program for windows ce could you recommend a free one. thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robp:
The only way to code for Windows Mobile for free is to use embedded Visual C++. You'll have to google it to find a link.

Once you have that downloaded, check out:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158662.aspx

The new solution files most probably won't open in eVC++ but you can create new projects and add the source files yourself.

You'll want to look at the samples in the Win32 folder.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
That's not entirely true - there's still ceGCC (it works on linux or windows using cygwin) - however this one lacks resource (window, forms, etc) editor (but if you have resources already created it will compile/link properly). But it works great with apps where you want to handle all the graphics and user interaction by yourself (like games, or programs with 100% custom UI), for example using SDL, pocketHAL, etc.

Also, wxWidgets seems to have support for windowsCE, and might be made to work with ceGCC, but i haven't tested it yet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robp:
Sorry, I actually meant to put "(I think)" after that sentence lol.

Actually I think you should be able to use any C++ compiler as long as you have the necessary libraries, and I think all the libs you need are in the sdk download. But the easiest route for beginners in native coding is probably eVC++
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
Well, now i can agree with you ;)

That is, unless you want to create games - in that case ceGCC+XFlib might be a good way to go for someone with general programming knowledge, but not familiar with winCE-specific coding. Some games coded with it (and their sources) can be found on XFlib homepage: www.xflib.net.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] irus:
thanks for the info
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marek101:
Ok, as I wouldn't mind at a later time going into MFC, and building dll's for mobile. How much "harder" would it be for me to learn VS2005 native for ce instead of using evc++ ?

Just trying to weight the cons and the pros. BTW where can I get eVC ?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] utak3r:
Two more free options: PellesC and Lazarus + WinCE add-on :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robp:
I don't think it would much harder. Once you get the hang of it you'll find that it makes life much easier. If you buy a boxed retail version it comes with a nice book that will take you from n00b to master in a few hours (not really but it's still a great reference).

I think the hardest part of upgrading to newer versions of VS is learning the new project file setup. Atleast that's what it looks like from watching other students at my school go from VS6.0 to VS2k5 and 2k8.

Also, I should note that I prefer VS2008 hands-down, but I don't disagree with other people who say eVC++ is faster. While I haven't done any real native development since eVC++ 4 was new, I still dabble a bit (especially since getting active on this forum) and VS2005 works great to me.

So, my advice would be to use the newest tools available to you, unless money is an issue. But don't be worried about upgrading. Your life will only get easier once you do.
