[P3300, MDA Compact III General] hybrid_peanut:
Hi everyone

I have been asked to look at an O2 XDA Orbit which won't boot past the startup screen. I have fixed one like this before by entering it into bootloader mode and re-flashing it.

Trouble is i've been out of the game for a while now and can't seem to find the right ROM for it. I have had a look on O2's site to download the ROM but it's been discontinued it seems and they don't offer it anymore.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? I'd like the latest UK O2 XDA Orbit software update.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice given :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] scousemartin:
Not sure if this is the latest version but this works if ou find a newer version then let me know will you

Hi,

does anyone know an alternative onscreen keyboard application (apart from TF3D).

To me it seems the X1 onscreen keyboard is pretty much unusable without the stylus.

Thx in advance,

Sinergy
[XPERIA X1 General] mkouk:
I use the SPB keyboard, i prefer it to the blackstone keyboard purely on the basis that the blackstone doesn't mess up with the predictive text of my X1.

the SPB has feedback options with vibration/sound, supports many languages and the skin fits nicely with the menus etc
[XPERIA X1 General] xperian:
my 2 cents: (copied from the my post at the inxperia forums)

THE FREE:

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

HTC Keyboard (from Touch HD)

the free HTC keyboard package also installs a normal phone keyboard.

So it installs:

- QWERTY Compact (two letters per button, for normal use)

- QWERTY Full (like hardware keyboard, for landscape use)

- Phone Keypad (phone keyboard, landscape and normal)

The Compact and Full version switch as you go from landscape to vertical, but you can't use the compact in ladscape and vice versa. So Compact -> rotate screen -> automatically oges to Full QWERTY.

Quite nice actually.

Problems: A bit sluggish within Opera and breaks the volume-zoom keys in Opera.

TouchPal (below) is better:

THE BEST:

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

TouchPal:

Installs itself as default on startup (great). Everythings fluid, no bugs so far. Goes away nicely in Opera and after a landscape switch.

I noticed a small, but *very* important detail about TouchPal:

The leftmost (QAZ) and rightmost (PLM) buttons are a bit further away from the edge (so they are easier to hit with the recessed screen!). I tested both Touch HD Blackstone and TouchPal QWERTY. TouchPal has the better buttons, as they are easier to hit.

The TouchPal also has tabs with:

- 3 keyboards (phone, qwerty, qw-er-ty)

- 1 symbol board (which slides to the left and right, customizable)

- 1 number board

- 10 configurable text snippets, multilanguage fT9 input and

- a navigation/cut/copy/paste board, which is really handy.

So my vote is clearly for TouchPal (also looks better). No problems on X1 at all!!!

Problems: No landscape resizing, just black bars on the left and right (I think its okay). The 2on1 buttons (QW-ER-TY) are strange (you can't double tap, it works differently)

tldr;

Get the TouchPal software. It'll change your life!

THE TWEAKERS Keyboard:

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

Fingertouch PRO

Completely skinnable and you can make custom layouts (dvorak for example)... Very good, I bought it but now use TouchPal.

[XPERIA X1 General] theoverseer:
I'm using SPB too. Much better than stock.
[XPERIA X1 General] Sinergy:
thx

I'll give a try to both of them.
[XPERIA X1 General] istnelane:
Hi Guys,

I have installed touchpal V3.5. I noticed a little bug. Before installation, i do not have memory leakage problem, for example, the program memory does not increase much. Typically, the memory usage will be 65Mb.

After installation, the program memory keep on increasing and increasing even after closing all the programs in the quick menu. The memory usage is 75Mb now and still increasing. The last time i did a soft-reset was 2 days ago.

I did not face this kind of problem (memory leak) before installing touchpal. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

TIA
[XPERIA X1 General] mcbyte_it:
I tried few alternative keyboards, but still didn't find the right one:

- HTC is very good, but has bugs

- SPB is full querty but small buttons, A Q P are on the edges

- Didn't like touchpal

what i want is an HTC like phone pad/T9 style, any free keyboard like this?
[XPERIA X1 General] chongbh:
Yes, I like those keyboard which is like phone pad style with T9 too so I have to stick to the HTC phone pad for now.

If anyone knows of such phone pad style which can replace the HTC keyboard, do share with us, thanks.
[XPERIA X1 General] xperian:
Try disabling the animations: Options-> (slide the screen) -> "Disable advanced animations". Maybe it helps.

Honestly I don't know. I had to turn my X1 off every 2 days because of exams I had. But the TouchPal keyboard has so many benefits that I won't mind soft-resetting every once in a while. I mean it's the only QWERTY where I can actually touch the Q/P/A buttons with the recessed screen.

Take a look at FingerTouch, they also have a lite (free) version on their site. The video (I time-marked it) with the Phone keyboard is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqhBMNr7iS8#t=47s
[XPERIA X1 General] aussiebum:
check out http://shapewriter.com - it's quite good if ur using two hands to type, works fairly well with one hand. Here's a vid of it in action on the Android => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJPS2piSSRE

TenGO Thumb pretty good too for one-hand operation, but falls flat on it's face when trying to type in one or two numbers vs HTC Phone Pad.

Cliquick (http://www.cliquick.com) has nice large buttons, layout like HTC Phone Pad but larger, excellent querty landscape keyboard and "optimised" key layout, BUT lacks T9.... which is a pitty because this would've been the best with T9 for one-hand operation.

I tried TouchPal but found learning curve too steep. Plus it's too difficult to use with one hand, which I need to do so when standing in a bus.

EDIT: Have been thinking about FingerTouch, BUT needs two hands to type fast, so that's a bummer. I'd prefer ShapeWriter over it.
[XPERIA X1 General] clumsythief:
I don't know if it's just me, but the Touch HD isn't working fine. Everytime i start typing (fast), the first letter always come at the end of the word. Let say I want to type "Clumsy", it would come out as "lumsyC". Quite annoying IMO.
[XPERIA X1 General] bloob:
Fingertouch has 5 keyboard layouts provided. At least 2 of them allow one-handed typing and pretty fast. It has its own T9 and also word completion.

I'm using Fingertouch Pro and allow further customisation, but unlike Fingertouch (which is free), the Pro version is paid software.

[Touch HD General] Tatou26:
Hello everybody.

As the title says, I'm looking for the drivers of hands-free kit USB, I'm guessing this is the one for Touch Cruise, but it works well on Diamond, so I bet an HD drivers should exist.

Thanks for the help.
[Touch HD General] cybermaus:
Let me guess? You connected a Ext-USB set to the HD and got a 'not supported' message, so now you would like the drivers?

If so, sorry to disappoint you, but this is not about USB drivers, but about the audio connection that most HTC devices have in the extra pins of the ExtUSB connector, and the HD does not have audio on that connection (because the wires run up to the 3.5mm plug) and will thus never support headsets or handsfree on the ExtUSB port.
[Touch HD General] Tatou26:
Thanks for the answer.

You're right, this is the message I've got.

So you say this is not possible, but I've read some people who said they did it.

Fake or not?

You tried the experience?
[Touch HD General] Tatou26:
up!

Anyone else?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
First of all special thanks to the guys at Lakeridge Software forums for getting all the icons rounded up and laying the foundation for this. Also, this isn't an exact mock up because I personally think the storm clutters too many screens with the same icons over and over. If you want to change it then have at it :)

and yes, it "clicks"

go to www.swampthing.net and grab it while its hot!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] drewster_uk:
nice !

not tried it (don't actually get my THD till next week) but the screenies look really classy - i'll be trying this - nice job.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GLOC:
:(

But I suppose it saves me the time of trying to convert the one which PPC.apache put up!!

Well done!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
all i did was pretty much put my twist on his with some resizing of things and such.Shoot I say you build your own as well bro. Mine isnt purely Blackberry Storm, it is blackberry storm by mallman :) I don't like all of the BB out of the box so if you were going to make and exact duplicate then by all means continue your work.

Thanks for the kind words though bro, didn't mean to beat you to the punch. I just like making themes.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GLOC:
No worries, I am doing my tax return at the moment, so don't need the distraction, so might do it later on in the week!!

You keep up the good work, you are on a roll!

Regards
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GLOC:
Just had a play with yours. I like the icons and I think I might change the front page around to be the calendar page with some more information as I like to have my appointments on the front page.

WAD2 is really good for stuff like this :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
yeah nothing touches WAD2 as far as the limitless customizations. I can honestly say that your imagination is the only limitation. And please do publish your BB themes for us. You may spark more ideas in my head :) Good luck on your tax returns. Im getting a CPA this year which is ironic since I work for INtuit (the company that makes TurboTax) and file for free. lol.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] redrazr7791:
MALLMAN, loving the theme, like i mentioned over on swampthing. Since there is not alot of commenting on your forum, I decided to ask this here. Would anyone know where to find the icons for this theme? I know there are various icon packs around the forum, but i cannot find any that would go good with this theme.:):):)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
If you're looking for he phone one then I have bad news :( There isnt one int he pack. i have tons of icons for this. Here are the ones I made so you can use them and link it in.

I have ported these in like you and I talked about, i also changed the weather icon to be much more attractive. Attached those too if youre interested. I have also added a couple of notifiers for missed calls (it is positioned the phone button on a transparent icon and an appointment notifier positioned behind the calendar icon. Finally, I have cleared out the calendar icon on the front so it always displays the current day of the month.

ANd yeah, there will never be conversation on swampthing like there is here lol. I couldn't afford the bandwidth if there were.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
I have updated this by making a phone icon and updating the weather icon as well as tweaking the weather page a little.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] pinopanino:
Hi Mallman

i have installed into my HTC HD your "HTC Mallmans_15_Tab_Windows_Icons" and now when I start the system exit a lot of pop-up with "Failed to load skin".

I don't use TouchFlow3d, I use simply Today with many plugin.

Where is the problem into registry ? Where can I look ?

Hello all,

is there any way I could set my Touch Diamond to connect to my university VPN only when it is connected to its wifi network. As in I dont want to connect to the VPN on my home or any public access point!

Thanks!
[Networking] zer0tr:
need some help guys :(
[Networking] jkibbey:
VPN

I've been trying to figure something better out myself. It's like 150 steps to connect to the VPN. I found this:

Create a text file called something like Connections.lnk and place the following in it:

(21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,19)

This will get you to the connections page anyway.

Another way to get there seems to be to shortcut to \Windows\remnet.exe (just found that method.)

Please note .... it costs nothing to 'ring' a mobile or landline ... charges are only incurred if the far end answers, and if they do, the application stops and alerts the user the call was answered.:D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] single:
lol great app, i like it :) keep it up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kull:
This app is surely one of the many interesting apps I have encountered, but while its uselful for your purpose. I could suggest to make it into a "redial" app? That redials any busy number and not necessarily a specified one? With options where it could pop up if a call dialled is not answered and check if one would want it redialed automatically after a specified/configurable time span? It could also have a Today screen plug-in. The only redial app available right now is the Free version at pocketmax.net but it doesn't have certain options. Just my suggestion.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nohctis:
very cool ap!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DRZ400:
Minor update .... I missed out a 'null' event. :mad:

As for the redialer idea ... i'll have a look around the web to see if theres anything else out there that can do the job... I'm sure there must be.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kull:
As far as I know there is only one: http://www.pocketmax.net/redial.html if you do find another would love to try it out. Thanks.

All aboard the bus to hell!!!:D

PS .... the 3.2 update was I forgot to make it so it cant be used against me.... it now can't dial my number.:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DRZ400:
I've just updated the program to version 7, I've improved the 'Terminate dialing on answer' so it'll now automatically hang up instantly, before it would take about a second to hang up.

I was being lazy NOT putting it in a CAB!!! LOL .... I'll give it a go tomorrow for you... had a hard day in work.:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DRZ400:
I've just remembered why i didn't CAB it .... last time I made a CAB, I put the program in internal memory and ended up with a shed load of Storage Card fanboys giving me grief for weeks!! LOL

With the EXE you can put it anywhere you like, even in your 'program files' folder so you can access it from the programs menu.

Pop it in My Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
If it helps, this CAB will Install the program wherever the user chooses and create a shortcut to this location. At least it did on mine when I tested it. :)

Hope you don't mind, I put your CAB on the main page and wrote a little 'thanks' note under the V7 release text.

what shall i do

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DRZ400:
I'm not sure what you've done but either click on the ZIP or CAB on the first posts attachments section and it should prompt you to save the file to your PC.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
No problem at all.

Installed on my Touch Pro, tried it out and the first thing I noticed was that it retains the 141 XXXXXXXXX number that you originally tested it on. Even after multiple launches, it still brings up your original values. Might be nice if it stored the users last entries in the registry and brought those up instead. Or blank out the phone number, but retain the 141 or *67 for US. That way we don't have to keep changing it everytime we use it. Second time I tried it, I forgot the 141 and ended up dialing someone in Canda, oops.

The few times I tried it so far, the phone was answered on the first ring, so I was unable to verify continuous redial. Have to keep playing. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DRZ400:
Cheers for the update ...

Good idea, I'll start work on the next version that remembers the 'withhold number' code and last dialed. :D

Remember it in the registry??? How do you do that ... sounds good... I was planning to just create a text file in the applications directory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
A text file would work, but if you want to venture into the registry, take a look at the following,

http://www.csharphelp.com/archives2/archive430.html

Maybe a quick update using the text file and a future update moving it to the registry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DRZ400:
I've done the text file method on my Fake Mail app (in my sig) to remember user settings so I think I'll take your advice and do that first, I WILL look into doing it via the registry though. :)

Damit ... I'm going to loose my download count .... AGAIN!! LOL. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DRZ400:
All sorted for you .... V9 now retains the previous withhold code and phone number. Now stop dialing random people in Canada!!! :D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
Gonna try it in a little bit, in the meantime, I re-added the shortcut to the CAB so where ever the user installs it, the shortcut will point to the correct location.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DRZ400:
I've replaced the CAB on the front screen with yours ..:D

When making CABs ... I popped the 'Primary Output' in the 'Program Files' folder .... Where / how should I make the Shortcut?

Thanks for your help by the way! Hope you like the program!!:D

Cheers

Phil
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smotrs:
No problem. Creating the Shortcut depends on the program your using to create the CAB's. I'm using WinCE CAB Manager which makes creating and editing CAB's a breeze. :)

Don't mention it, glad to help. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hambargarz:
Does this program change any settings or write to the registry anywhere?

I've installed it and use it once (it worked fine)

But now I my phone never sends caller ID at all.

When ever I ring anyone it always comes up as "withheld"

I would like to set it back but can't.

Under phone settings, in Caller ID

under "Provide my caller ID to:" I set it to

"Everyone" but it keeps changing back to "No one"

Also when I run the dialer it keep opening up the calendar

EDIT: Actually it appears I've lost all Caller ID abilities, When people ring me, the number is not withheld as well :(

Does anyone know how to fix it?

EDIT2: did a full hard reset and wiped the phone clear. still no caller id. i'm not sure what to think of it. I rang my carrier and they say caller id is still on and the problem is likely with my phone. I don't know what to do
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DRZ400:
It doesn't write to the registry (I don't know how) or change any settings at all ... All it does is dial the two numbers in textBox 1 and 11.

Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony.Phone p = new Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony.Phone();

p.Talk(textBox11.Text + textBox1.Text + "\0");
