I would have to beg the differ on battery life. I have two batteries, but have never needed the spare. I am an IT, and I use wifi from 7am to 5pm, constant connection, no battery saveing, and when I go home, I still have two bars left. My shadow could only make it about 6 hours before it was dead, without using WIFI.

I'm having problems getting tf3d to work on the att tilt. I installed the tf3d_qvga.cab & htc-ca-kaiser-drivers.cab and I still get the "Tap to Launch" message repeatedly. Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something or if they've installed it differently and got it working? I dont really wana flash a new rom yet, I'd much rather stick with the original phone and just install it via cab. Thanks,

[General Questions and Answers] neog:
Hi guys, could someone give me the indications to make to visualize on the up traybar the icon of the bluetooth when it is active? I use windows 6 prof. thanks to all for the possible answers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Der_wahre_Phi:
Hey folks. I found a 'Transformers Sound' for sliding the keyboard. i installed the cab and had this sound. but i dind't like it that much and deinstalled it again. but since then i do not have any sliding sound anymore. I look in settings and all options are turned on. So there is no reason to not function.

Maybe someone can help.

Thx.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] biggerpickle:
maybe try to install it again, and then manually change the sound under settings?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Der_wahre_Phi:
still no change. Doesn't work. Thx though for the tip.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Der_wahre_Phi:
I figured that when the phone is in standby (screen etc. turned off) and i slide the keyboard then the sound is there but as soon as the monitor is on the sounds doesn't come anymore. I am at a loss.

Someone an other idea?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
I just posted a thread with a link to the app you need to install to alter the settings so you do not have use the cab method.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Der_wahre_Phi:
i tried the app and it did nothing (for me ;) ).

So i still have the issue that the sound isn't played when openening the keyboard when the screen is turned on.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Brendo:
i think you neeed to change some registry settings. i remember a few threads about changing slider sounds (same applies to tytn 2)

Just wondering if anyone knows how 2 change the splash screen on the IIi. Thanks

Boot screen change

How to change Boot Image of XDA

Boot screen of XDA all models, will show Boot Image 5 - 10 seconds. We can change them as we want.

......

There are 2 Boot Image files, Splash1 and Splash2. That will be shown during booting. Normally these images, will be change during rum upgrading. They are come with Extended_ROM. But we can change them.

Step of Picture Preparation

1. 湡oot Image files, we can make them from any avaiable pictures. Change the image size to 240x320 and save them as bmp. Named as Splash1.bmp and Splash2.bmp (both picture can be same picture if you want).

2. Run program NB_Image_Converter in order to change file format from .bmp to .nb, so after this step you will get files Splash1.nb and Splash2.nb.

Step to change Boot Image

1. Copy Splash1.nb and Splash2.nb to \Windows

2. Copy file BootSplash_Changer.cab to change Boot Image to XDA

3. Tap at file BootSplash_Changer.cab to install new images.

4. Soft Reset, then you will get new boot images.

* file Splash1 and Splash2 will be deleted after install automatically, need not to delete them.

Example pictures

O2 Default

Dragon

Earth

Flower

XDAIIi PDAMobiz

Black o2

This method can be used with XDA II ,IIs , Mini and IIi. Enjoy changing images.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] sprode:
Hello All:

This is my first post here but just reading around has solved many problems for me already. However, my phone (sprint mogul 8600) has been misbehaving and even a hard reset did not solve this problem.

My problem is that the stupid thing won't stay asleep, ruining my battery life and sanity. Is there a way to set it so that it will only wake on active decisions (incoming text, incoming call) and me pushing the power button? I've cruised option after option but I haven't been able to find anything useful.

It still functions properly when it should wake up, it just seems to wake up every few minutes on my desk and i think i have an incoming something to deal with. In the end I have just stopped paying attention and have missed lots of calls because of it.

My apologies if there is a faq that goes over this already, I looked but could not find.

Thanks in advance
[Mogul, XV6800 General] sprode:
Battery life goes down approximately 50% per 10 hrs because the phone turns on as if someone hit the power button at irregular intervals. Is the phone SUPPOSED to be able to turn on for reasons other than incoming messages or using the power button? Its driving me crazy, I can't even go out for a day because it will run out of battery.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] BillThyCat:
Are you running a custom rom or stock rom? If stock, is the most up to date from your carrier? After you did the hard reset, did you test it before installing any cab files? It's possible one of the apps you are installing may cause this.

If it's the stock rom and you are installing nothing, I would say it's a defective phone.

I know on an old PDA I had years back at midnight every night it would turn on, it would do maintenance on my scheduler and then turn back off, but haven't seen my phone ever do this during normal hours.

BTC
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Sweeny Russ:
It has to be software on that rom or additional installed by you. If you haven't installed any software you might want to try flashing a custom rom and see if that takes care of it.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] SmokeyJBluntz:
i have had the same problems with my ppc6800 and blackjack 2, i think it has to do with the changing networks... on my drive home from mass to maine it will do it in about 5 spots anyways consistantly. in my hotel in mass i get crappy reception and itll do it every now and then. this has been an issue with both phones. bugs the hell outta me on my trip home cus itll light up, then i grab it to figure out why and theres nothing... learned to live with it
[Mogul, XV6800 General] sprode:
I performed a hard reset after continued trouble with this. It will come on at least 1 time per hour, and as often as every 5 minutes, with absolutely nothing done to it short of initial calibration/data entry. It will also do this sitting on my desk, not moving or anything.

I suppose I could try a custom rom, but I fear I am opening pandora's box, as I am told these phones are on backorder if i happen to brick mine. Any recommendations for a new ROM to try?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] swinn:
This is normal.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] sprode:
Is this sufficient problem to get it replaced? A hard reset and nothing else and problem persists.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jph8tr:
It's a win mobile "feature" since the early WinCE days. Every Palm-size/WinCE/WinMO device I've owned turned itself on from time to time. Now, it's blamed on network changes, mostly going in and out of EVDO coverage. When these were simple PDA's, it was blamed on internal housekeeping. If you corner a MS rep on the issue, they will blame the hardware and outside software vendors. I never believed them. Either get used to it or buy a device other than a WinMo based, it will never ever be fixed!

BTW, I'm in my basement where I get less than an ideal signal and my Mogul has turned on and off 3 times while I was typing this.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] BillThyCat:
I have my phone sitting next to me in the cradle all night long, 2-3 hours before I go to bed I turn out the lights to either view my laptop easier or watch TV, if my phone was turning on I would know it because I would have bright light in my eyes.

So I would say it's not as common as you described in the 2-3 times while composing the email. Mine might turn on at midnight, tho I am usually asleep by then, so I can't say for sure, but the only time it turns on (that I know of) is when I receive a text message or a phone call. Emails don't wake up my phone. And I get 20-30 emails a day.

I am on a 1X only network, no EVDO here yet, so it could be an issue with EVDO, in my phone settings I have an option for Service Tone, that makes a beeping sound when I lose or regain service, might try turning that on and see if it's beeping when the phone is turning on. If so, it's a signal issue.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] bcbrett:
I have this problem too and hate it. Every time I come out of the subway the phone turns on in my pocket. I cant drive at night with the phone facing up on the dash because it turns on every couple of mins. It's completely annoying, kills the battery and launches tons of programs, every once in a while it makes calls too. I would be very happy to get this "feature" taken off my phone!

B
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jph8tr:
WinMo devices turning on all by themselves is the reason there are so many screen lock programs available. If you've got a WM device and plan to carry it in a confined pocket (like your pants) check out S2U2 or throttlelock. Your phone turns on when leaving the subway because it's aquiring a signal, it probably turned on while in the train while searching for signal too. While driving, you're probably passing in and out of 3G coverage which will also turn the device on. If you stay in a solid signal area, the phone will stay off for the most part, but that does negate the whole mobile thing a bit. The center of my basement where my home theater is gets a inconsistant 3G signal. My Mogul will turn on and off and kill the battery in a few hours. My wifes Palm, my friends BB's and iphones won't turn on once. Once again, the issue of WM/PocketPC/WinCE turning on for no apparent reason has been a c	ommon complaint for years, at least to the Casio E105 days when I started on my WM journey. Since MS has never addressed the issue, I doubt they ever will.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
I have never had the phone random come on from sleep. Leaving and entering coverage doesn't change that. I say you have something in the rom causing the problem or a program running in the background
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jph8tr:
You've never taken the phone out of a pocket or holster to find it already on? My 6700 on VZW did and I think I ran every ROM developed for it at one time or another, each of my 3 Moguls running various OEM and custom ROM's did/does. I've heard similar complaints from coworkers running various

WM devices. A friend I take the train with daily complained about this with his AT&T Tilt too. Both my non phone Axims (x5 & x51) occasionally turned on as did my Toshiba E805, Casio e100, e105 and e115. Every WinCE based device forum I have participated in over the years has featured complaints about WM turning on with no user interaction. Obviously, it's not a deal breaker for me, but it does happen...a lot. The issue in my basement is the extreme of the problem, move the phone towards the exterior walls and the phone reverts to only turning on and quickly off occasionally. Another example. When traveling by LIRR to Penn Station the phone will stay off even when entering the river tunnel ad traveling under Manhattan. At some point when I exit the station, the phone turns itself on. Since I'm walking in rush hour crowds, I've never tried to find at which exact point my Mogul turns on, but it's always on when I get my coffee in Borders Cafe.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
I have never taken it out of my pocket and have it been turned on. It is always in sleep mode.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] lepapirriky:
This also happens to me, i own a mogul, and this is really and extremely annoying.

i have test it for few months and this is my conclusion.

As you guys said already just wait for few min and it will turn on the screen, but also when i shake it and when you hit it.

it really is a battery killer.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jph8tr:
If it's turning on when you shake it, you probably have a hardware issue.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Matt Bernius:
Disclaimer 1: I'm not a developer.

Disclaimer 2: I searched and didn't find a similar app

In searching for applications to improve the results from my wife's iPhone camera, I came across a few iPhone apps that cleverly use the accelerometer to assist in picture taking -- namely they wait until the accelerometer registers the fact that the phone has stopped moving before triggering the shutter.

It seems to me that a similar application would work on the Diamond/Touch Pro/HD -- once the "shutter button" has been pressed, the camera autofocuses, and then waits for a "steady" moment to finish taking the picture.

Again, I'm a UI/Tech Specs type of person, so I don't know how open the camera api is. That said, it seems, in theory, that this should work and wouldn't be to tough to do (hell, they managed to do it on the iPhone).

What do you think?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Matt Bernius:
That's an interesting app, but not quite the same thing. While it's nice that it lets you level the shot, it doesn't look like it uses the accelerometer to trip the shutter. So the hand shake potential is still there.

As far as the Steadycam app, it helps. It isn't going to turn the iPhone into a digital camera replacement, but it does assist low light pictures.

Here's a review of two of the iPhone Apps I've been playing with:

Hi,

After seven years using imates, O2s and HTCs (all touch screen models) I had a go at Palm Treo Pro and must say I like it a lot. At least the qwerty keyboard keeps my screen free to actuelly view my aps while entering text. Also the phone part is much better supported.

btw, did you see the new Pre, looks awesome !

anyway, I find the Pro's WMP skin having too tiny buttons. OK, the navigation pad does a very good job, but I still i would like to install a skin with bigger buttons and yet keep album art displayed. I Tried Tweak Windows Media Player (pocketgear) but WMP/Options wont let me install it.

any suggestions for good square skins !

BACKGROUND:

Many people (including me) can't flash ROM from microSD card

AIM:

To help identify possible causes of the flashing errors with the microSD card method

METHODS:

Method: A trial and error test was conducted on my X1

Variables: 1)

Brand

: Sandisk, Kingston and unbranded cards 2)

Capacity

: 1 GB and 2 GB cards 3) Format: FAT32 or non-FAT32 (other format)

Endpoints: Flash successful or Flash not successful

Total cards tested: 6

Write lock: released

RESULTS:

FLASH NOT SUCCESSFUL: All cards when non-FAT32 formatted

FLASH NOT SUCCESSFUL: All cards when brand = Kingston

FLASH SUCCESSFUL: All FAT32 cards from Sandisk brand or unbranded

CONCLUSIONS:

Seems like most of the problems reported could be due to 1) non-FAT32 format or B) Kingston brand cards

COMMENTS:

Conlcusions can not be extrapolated to all Kingston cards because I tested only two Kingston cards and both were 2GB. Possible confusing factors could be considered

cheers.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
- Remove micro SD card from phone

(I assume you have a SD slot or a USB card reader on your PC)- Insert the card with SD adapter on your PC

- Open Windows File Explorer

- All drives are shown on "My PC"

- Right click over the SD card drive (mine is "E:")

- Choose "format"

- A dialog box pops up (see attachment, mine is spanish but should give you an idea)

- From "file system" choose "FAT32"

- From "block size" choose "default block size"

- DONT CHECK THE "QUICK FORMAT BOX

If this doesn't work, then try ANOTHER SD card from another brand

Kingston

here's my experience:

My phone is an X1i that comes with a 2GB Kingston.

Ive used this card for flashing for 5 times already and

never encountered any errors.

i used to always format my card to fat32 with the default allocation size

everytime im going to flash a new rom. all succesful with no hang-ups.

Few days ago i had a issue while flashing a Radio to my Xperia.

I first used my 8GB SDHC Sandisk card but Update interrupted at 100% (fail)

So i swapped the card to a Original "Nokia 128mb microSD" (dont know the brand, sry) but it didnt work in my phone except i tried all format and configuration variables.

I had to buy a micro SD card Reader for my SDHC 8gb Sandisk and it worked since i copied an other version of the radio to that card and started the phone.

I was a bit confused that Xperia only takes SDHC but i had the idea that the phone is calibrating itself at windows start with the insterted card so that flashing would only work if you had restarted the phone before entering hardspl.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other cards that worked here:

4GB Sandisk SDHC

64/128/256mb Original Nokia (working in windows, flashing not possible)

512mb Kingston (my first Card in the phone, flashing possible)

8gb Sandisk SDHC (working in OS but sometimes phones not recongnizing it)
