[Touch HD General] Zuber:
I got an email from the shapewriter people saying they were expecting a beta to be available before the end of the year. Should be interesting to see how it performs.

I've been playing with it in my wife's iPhone (they have a demo notes app for it). It works quite well, though I do have to correct more than I would like. Overall quite impreseed, though big fingers on a small area means I do nead to be a little more careful about hitting the right spots than I'd like.

I'm looking forward to trying it on a device with a stylus. I think it should work much better since you can see what you are doing much more than with a finger. Combined with a more accurate tip, I should be able to be much more accurate and quicker at the same time. That's just speculation at the moment.

Should find out soon enough...

Shapewriter is out

Shapewriter is now availabe for download (30 day trial). Could someone try it out on the HD and feedback results. I've just tried it on my TabletPC and have been quite impressed.

Finally viable to use in Table mode for significant levels of text input.

Thanks,

Zuber
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
very simple: the windows mobile 6.0 link is not existing, but the WM5 version really works great and looks aesthetically perfect. I will do my own testing since i am very very interested in...thanks for the info, Zuber!
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
one comment: very good the touch HD, since it also has a graphical D-pad. In english, i am outperforming the EZInput after few minutes of use, of course a different story in another language where a lot of words have to be added to the DB....;)

...after 5 minutes, i feel i am going to buy it...
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
...after 6 minutes: with the finger it works perfectly!!! :p
[Touch HD General] weetabix1980:
to bad its only english :'(
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
...overall, after some hours of tests, i am VERY IMPRESSED. only the cmd button in my opinion is not working, and the Keyboard layout is fixed (no ATOMIK).
[Touch HD General] Chris Cross:
The Windows Mobile 6 version is out. See their page. Select WM6 from drop-down menu. The closest resolution available from the drop-down menu is VGA.

I think I'll test it.
[Touch HD General] Chris Cross:
I am trying SlideIT and ShapeWriter.

They are both working fine on my HD (see screenshots)

I have to say that I like SlideIT a lot better. I just wish the interface looked nicer.

SlideIT pros and cons

Pros:

The rainbow-shaped keyboard is actually nice to work with. At first I thought I would hate it, but it is very comfortable to work with.

The small and compact shape means less distance to travel from letter to letter. Perfect for the stylus, but not for fingers.

I was very impressed with the accuracy even at times when my sliding seemed way off - it figured it out quite well. I tested it in German and English. Both were great.

Easy to quickly switch between languages. If you get a non-english one, the English dictionary is also included (so two-in-one!)

Graffiti recognition area on the left is really nice to quickly hand write numbers and . : , ; ! ? * + - & @ ( ) / ' " space, and backspace delete.

Price is only 5 dollars!!! For me great because I get two languages for that price!

Cons:

The interface should be improved so be more appealing to the eye. But in my opinion, the rainbow shape and the size are perfect.

ShapeWriter Pros and Cons

Pros:

nice looking interface

accuracy okay, but not great. In my opinion not as good as SlideIT

Cons:

Entering numbers is fine but not as easy and as fast as SlideIT

As of now - only available in English

The bigger keyboard is imho too big for the stylus and not big enough to be accurate using your finger.

Price is 20 dollars. Not a bad price, but right now I would not pay that much. It needs to be more accurate to be worth the 20 bucks.

Here are the screenshots. I might buy SlideIT. I mean, you can't go wrong for 5 dollars. That is cheaper than lunch at McDonald's. :) I'm curious to test Swype when it comes out.
[Touch HD General] q123123an:
btw, for people who want shapewriter in their own language; replace the lexicon.txt file in the cab (with e.g. wincecabmgr) before you install with a list of words of your own language. Do this before installing as the lexicon.txt gets merged with swi_res.sw during installation!
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
i dont know if you see the same, but shapewriter (both wm5 and wm6) doesnt work when using web browsers (opera and ie6)..confirm?
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
in this moment I am also evaluating SlideIT with ie6. SlideIT is superior in many aspects like overall speed and I personally make fewer mistakes , but that's probably very subjective . the biggest differences is that SlideIT does work in browsers. however dont forget that SlideIT NEEDS A STYLUS , WHILE SHAPEWRITER WORKS WITH FINGERS
[Touch HD General] q123123an:
For me it works with both (it only adds irritating spaces...)
[Touch HD General] DigiTuur:
I've tried both SlideIt and Shapewriter. I like Shapewriter better, but it will not work in landscape on my Touch HD.

I find it harder to learn SlideIt new words than Shapewriter.

The caps function in Shapewriter is superior.

Pricewise I prefer SlideIt
[Touch HD General] ez2remember:
Is there a way to delete words in shapewriter?

I find there are too many acronyms I would never use so would help with accuracy.

I love this new way of typing. :)
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
For me, I'm not even going to try SlideIT. Having to use the stylus is a deal breaker for me.

Unfortunately, Shapewriter (as mentioned) isn't working properly in Opera. You can enter url's, but not text into for example, the Google search box. Also (again, as mentioned) it crashes when I go to landscape mode. Having said that, now I can type quick with just one thumb, no need for landscape really.

I do find it a little tricky if you're doing a large word and you get a little lost which way you should be going next... but apart from that, it seems very, very good.
[Touch HD General] Chris Cross:
If I'm typing an sms or an email (i.e. something long), it is worth it for me to pull the stylus out because I can type the fastest with SlideIT. If I just want to enter a few words somewhere, I prefer TenGO Thumb or one of the HTC keyboards.

I don't like ShapeWriter. It's not that accurate neither with stylus nor with your finger.
[Touch HD General] Zuber:
Strange,

I got the opposite. I found ShapeWriter much more accurate and kept getting errors with SlideIT. Had to be too accurate and did not handle misses too well. ShapeWriter with a Stylus is mega accurate for me. Guess it depends on the individual. Since we are looking at release 1.0 of ShapeWriter and it is backed by IBM, I would hope it improves and gets fixed for latest hardware etc.

What would have been clever, is if SlideIt could have popped up with suggestions for longer words when sliding. I find it to distracting having to constantly decide if I should slide or tap each word. Much rather concentrate on the content that the text entry...

Still waiting for Swype to turn up with their version. Good to have choices...

Zuber
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
Hmm, I have to admit it's made a few mistakes for me today, assuming I'm typing other words than I really am. I'm getting used to it though. It's a bit more accurate if you use your forefinger, I guess it depends how many hands you have free...
[Touch HD General] pzucchel:
i fully agree on the shapewriter issue. i see the same problem with Opera and IE6: i can type the domain address, but i cannot type in the page (for example, in the initial page "search" with both). do you have the same problem?
[Touch HD General] Dauntless:
(This post is about Shapewriter)

I tried chaning the language (which worked) but then I tried a bigger dictionary and I also edited the paths from 'hard-coded' to macro-powered. (I have a dutch phone and for some stupid reason all programs are installed in 'programmabestanden' in stead of 'program files'.

I installed the new cab but the keyboard wouldn't come up anymore. Even when I select an alternate input method (in the settings->input dialog), no keyboard is shown...

Is there any way I can fix this? I tried uninstalling ShapeWriter and the keyboard then works again, but as soon as I install ShapeWriter (even the default one I downloaded from their site), all keyboards are gone...

Anny Suggestions ?
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
Since I installed shapewriter, it wont detect contacts when I start entering someone's name for a text message. I'm sure I had this happen for Spb keyboard and it was a simple registry tweak. Anyone know what to do?
[Touch HD General] frottage:
Yes its frustrating - i get around this by typing the name and then forcing a look-up "menu->check names"

other frustrations include auto spaces - they work great most of the time - but they are a real pain when you are entering email addresses. Also i cant get caps to work.

The basis of this product is superb "the engine" its the little things that let it down.

I will perhaps try and point the company themselves at this thread
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
Caps stumped me for a little while. What you do is, type the word first and then tap caps to cycle through what you want capitalised in that word. One tap to make the first letter capital, two is for the whole word and the third brings it all back to lower. I'm not sure how you would do WiFi for example though...
[Touch HD General] Dauntless:
If you alter the lexicon.txt file to include your language, make sure the file isn't to big. I had to trim down my dictionary of 170000 words to about 80 000 to get it to work
[Touch HD General] frottage:
I emailed the shapewriter Winmo dev team a link to this thread in the hope that they might pick up on a few of the bugs and respond with a revised build. Sadly though it seems no one has gotten involved
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
Yeah, I mailed them about the Opera bug, I got an automated reply, but that's all so far :(
[Touch HD General] Penicillin:
Is there a german lexicon.txt available - not necassarily an official one?
[Touch HD General] q123123an:
here you go! (source of wordlist: http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/html/wliste.html )
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
Hows about Spanish? Is this possible?

Thanks.
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
I'm getting a little frustrated with Shapewriter tbh. It often gets words wrong so I have to constantly check what word it's written, which really slows things down.

I'm now giving SlideIT a go. Already I'm a little frustrated that I have to switch from red to green mode and such, to manually type in a word that it doesn't know...

It does seem a bit quicker, with better recognition though. Granted, you do need to use the stylus, but I'd been starting to do that with Shapewriter anyway. This means you HAVE to use both hands though.
[Touch HD General] Zuber:
Have you tried using the alternative ATOMIK keyboard layout. I's still getting used to it, but find the accuracy is better than with qwerty layout.

That's assuming ATOMIK is an option on WinMob version (I'm using on a tablet pc).

Zuber
[Touch HD General] blacksage:
not sure im sold

I didn't read every post and every opinion on here to see if I overlapped, but I must confess, I'm not sold on that technology. I am sure if they develop this technology to the point where it works quickly and stable then it would be a nice alternative. But I would still be able to type more quickly than anyone with such a technology with my standard on screen touch type keyboard, provided that it had the proper layout. These technologies probably take too much processing power anyway.

blacksage
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
I dont think you would. Have you tried SlideIT? It's a very fast input method. I would still prefer a hard keyboard, but while I'm on screen, I think SlideIT's the fastest method at the moment.
[Touch HD General] billu:
Just been trying SlideIT, trial version, pretty good but its now $40 to buy!

PS: When is this darn Swype actually being released? Been waiting ages.:mad:

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Deburin:
I was just playing a game and while it was downloading some updates, the phone suddenly became like this.

WP_20200531_11_44_47_Pro.mp4

I've already tried restarting, shutting down, and factory reset but the phone is still this unbearably slow.

Any idea on what's causing this? I'm assuming this is a hardware issue since factory reset didn't fix it, right?

Please help this noob.

Thanks & Regards.

I am Jack from Lytmi(formerly Light Mi), currently we are producing ambilight, while currently, there is none in the market, whether dreamscreen or philips hue or us, can make ambilight without using external hdmi device or camera to pass-through the signal. So I am curious is there a way that we can use just an adroid or mac os app to replace all those hdmi sync box or camera, and just with an app, we can control all the lights of our home, whether is the bedroom light or tv backlight, or ceiling light, or floor lamp...?

guys i have a little problem with my samsung s10 +..

i wanted my smartphone unroot and flashed the original firmware with odin, initially the android 10 version,

unfortunately after the flash the display came after the start "erase" and android always shows a black screen afterwards....

Had tried it with the android 11 version but unfortunately the same result....

I get into the download mode and recovery mode but android just doesn't start in the operating system and I wonder why.

does any of you have a solution for it?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageraldnaveen:
I'm a newbie in winmo development. Here is my first contribution.

This application only works for mobile numbers in India -- sorry I dont have information for other countries.

This application displays the service provider and the location to which the caller (on incoming call) or callee (on outgoing calls) belongs.

This app should work on any phone running WinMo 5 or above. I've tested it only on my ASUS p320.

How To:

After installation just click on the shortcut from Programs. That's it. I've purposely not installed the shortcut in Startup folder to give full-control to the user to choose whether or not to run the app.

Sadly, there is easy no way to exit the app other than rebooting your phone - if you have applications like process explorer, you can terminate the process at your will.

Hope you will enjoy this app!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Man, if you can get this to work with numbers from other countries, this would be one hell of an app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] munnna73:
good work done by you its appreciated

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eboy44:
hopefully we can get it working for the US and other countries!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageraldnaveen:
Thank you!

I had written a similar app for my previous phone on Linux. Based on request from others I tried figuring out if such a info exists for other countries. But apparently, it looks like not many countries have a numbering scheme like India where it is possible to figure out the location,service provider from the mobile number. Infact in the US, I read that a new numbering scheme allows the subscriber to retain the mobile number across service providers. So I am afraid if this would be possible at all for other countries :(. In India these numbers and their mappings are published and that's how the numbers are allotted to the service providers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Damn that sucks to hear.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] avismiles:
its nice app..thnx dude
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] [germany]merlot:
Yes in Germany it's the same. You can take your mobile number (f.e. Vodafone) with you and use it by another service provider (f.e. T-Mobile).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] met3ora:
For the US, we can at least match area code to state.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buggers999:
thanks, but am not sure if the same caller calls from other state will be identified by that states name....if it does, its gonna be wonderful
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageraldnaveen:
No it will not work. Even if the caller roams in another state/circle, his number remains the same. So my app will still show his original location -- it is not possible to figure out the current location of the caller.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] munnna73:
i found bug here in my elfin all outgoing call show oprater an state but incoming calls not shown. how it work

sorry bad english
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kpshamilsagar:
so if you u cant show while roaming....whats the use of this software...coz if u can easily find out with the number...which state it belongs to.anyway i appreciate the effort took 2 make the software...n im expecting many more...thanx....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kpshamilsagar:
actually im looking 4 software...with that i can findout the exact location of the caller...i mean by calling i want 2 no 4m where exactly is he callin.like in google map it shows my location..bt the same way i want calling persons locaton also...is their any sw associated with that?if so it wl b apprecaited...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] saints5354:
Will try it and feedback, thanks bro.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageraldnaveen:
It is not mentally easy to remember hundreds of mappings between numbers and service providers and location.. if you are smart enough to remember all those, you are free to do that -- this is for those like me who cant remember. ;)

It is not possible technically to find out the "current" location of the caller.. that info is not available at all. Had it been available it would be a privacy breach. Google maps finds the location based on "your" cell phone tower. I bet (as of today in India atleast) there can be no software which can find the caller's "current" location.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thebond:
hey great work dude......
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageraldnaveen:
If you have any other software that interprets and handles the incoming calls (like full screen caller id), my app may not work. It works based on the built-in incoming call window.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kpshamilsagar:
i know that it is available in india...coz i saw some add regarding that...i think it is samsung...not sure abt that..bt im sure that some1 is providing that also...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] munnna73:
no i not have any other soft i use this soft without another programme
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vaishnavashok:
I want to know the exect tower location of the caller is it possibe in india please i need it urgently
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageraldnaveen:
Like I mentioned earlier, it is not possible to get any information about the "current" location/tower about the caller.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hambola:
It would be nice to know the location of the area code that a specific user is calling from in the US. So even though that user might not be physically there, at least when a 310 number pops up we know it's LA, or 212 pops up that is a NY number. There is no way to distinguish which numbers are cell phones and landlines but it's better than nothing. The iPhone has this feature and I believe it's useful.

There's an app for android that is similar called White Pages Caller ID.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] silver76:
I've PM'ed the author asking if they'd consider opening up the source code under a licence like the GPL. This would mean the code is available for all and anyone who makes changes must also share their code.

If so, then I can update it to work with numbers in the UK and USA fairly easily.

Fingers crossed!
