Can any one tell me please how to install optxperiabeta02.cab into my xperia x10 step by step .

I really need your help .

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flying-trickster:
With this new ROM, I've got some annoying problems.. Really annoying.

In TF3D when I get a new SMS and I press it to reply, it opens the conversation window, but I can't just type my reply, if I press the input line it goes back to the conversation window and minimizes the input line. I will have to press the keyboard icon and then click the input line every time. I used to just type directly after tapping the message on TF3D. Thats problem number 1.

Another problem is, that when I get a new sms while In the conversation window, by the way the new sms's I get are from the same person whom I'm having this conversation with, so back to the new sms. It of course appears in the conversation and so on, but when I close it, it still shows the number of "new" sms's I got since i was in the chat. It's supposed to go away since I KNOW I got new sms cuz I obviously can see it when im chatting with the person that sent me the sms. So anyone know what I can do? Have you experienced the same problem(s)? I hope you at least understand what I tried to explain, it got kinda long, sorry.'

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
You should probably post this in the ROM Development forum. Anyway... which ROM are you talking about... stock ROM or custom ROM? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flying-trickster:
Sorry, didn't think of that. It's the new stock rom version 2-point something.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
I've not experienced this bug myself, but then again, I don't text that much. You may have just found the first 'BUG' in the new update. Seriously though, I would post this in the ROM forum and see if anyone else has experienced this issue, whether with a stock ROM or any custom ROM.

Sorry I can't help you with this :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flying-trickster:
Yeah well I want to? But can I do it now? Somehow move it there?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] djfuego:
Help?!

You haven't given enough info on what Version of the Rom you are using.

What other applications you installed.

When the problem occured

Does it work properly if you hard reset your phone?

If you are using a custom rom then Tell the person who made it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flying-trickster:
I said its the new stock ROM version 2-point something. I'll be exact.

ROM version: 2.03.403.2 DAN

Other applications doesn't matter since this bug occured right after updating to the new ROM from the old stock ROM which was version 1.93.

I did a hard reset after the first time I got this bug, and then I checked right away to see if it happened again, and it did.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rydog2020:
I'm seeing the same issue

I'm running 2.03.401.2 have the same issue.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flying-trickster:
Don't they test the friggin SMS system before releasing the ROM??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Gongas:
hello

i have the same trouble with this rom :S

can someone help us?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Baronic:
same problem, with dutty's rom final release
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] derfler:
yeah me to... on the new rom: SONE 2.1

i need to go inside the message. but in the tf3d not working
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hcanning:
Me too. First time I open a new text message from TF3D it won't let me type, but if I close it and open again, it's fine. It doesn't do it *every* time, but 9 times out of 10 it does. It's not the end of the world
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Vector-SS:
I'm using Duttys V3.3 WWE and I have the same problem.

I really can not stress how freaking annoying this bug is. Specially, the message counter. It like putting me on a torture rack.

If I keep replying to the same person, the message counter will keep going up, and will only clear if I go to All messages (lets say I have a counter of 7), open the conversion with the user and close it 7 times to clear !!!! :mad::mad:

I've brought it up somewhere before, but I was not able to get a solution. I thought it was Touchpal issue in the beginning, but it's not.

Hopefully someone will chime in!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] johrek:
I also have the SMS trouble on the newest 2.XX SWE version =( very very annoying
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jsmith_00:
Same here

Hi

i having the same problem with the europe 2.03 version, like some has said here dont they test before they release it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] poedgirl:
I'm also having the issue on the 2.03 WWE version. It's really annoying especially since I have a Sony Ericsson bluetooth watch which continues to vibrate every few minutes unless I go into All Messages and open and close the contact that has the message.

Edit: Sent the HTC guys a tweet about this issue as it's a pretty big bug if you ask me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Oskala:
i have no problem at all. using 2.03 Swedish official.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jporch316:
Dont have this issue but i turned off threaded conversations as soon as I installed the rom. Its not to my liking - but I know this doesnt help those who do like it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Vector-SS:
So this problem is coming from HTC themselves?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] h.nocturna:
Have had this problem as well with all Dutty's newer than 2.9, so guess what... Still using 2.9 hahaha
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] whc:
No solution to this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] carburano:
I've found a way to manage this... not a definitive solution...

I've disabled Keyboard autopopup so when i have to answer to an SMS i have to tap on keyboard first and then in the sms field... in this way there are no problem...

I hope this help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tendou:
same problem here, it drives me up the wall, I rather live with a bit slower 1.93 than this buggy 2.03
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] andrediaslopes:
Same problem! :(

carburano, it worked but as you said, not a definitive solution! Hope someone find it...

Thanks anyway.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nickgeys:
same problem here!

very irritating!

has anyone informed htc about this problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jsmith_00:
yes sent HTC a mail this mornign waiting on the reply but will post as soon as i get it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jsmith_00:
Spoke to HTC

Right

I have been in contact with HTc over this problem, i cannot put what they said because of

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] andrediaslopes:
I've installed the cab bellow and guess what?! PROBLEM SOLVED :D

Basically this cab replaces htmlnote file in windows folder, use at your own risk..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nickgeys:
anyone tried this?

i'dd try it now and let you know if it worked, but i don't have my cable here to sinq with my laptop...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nickgeys:
great, this workes for me!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] andrediaslopes:
Great, that was a really annoying problem! :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rsacipher:
Any idea if this works on the Touch HD?
[General Topics] Dcorag:
Hello guys, im new here so im gonna be brief... i bought a Omnia and i was getting bored on the windows mobile 6.1 OS in my smartphone. One day i found this file i900_M2D02fix_PaS08, which was developed by xda developers. I installed it and my windows mobile 6.1 was replaced by windows mobile m2d2 with touchflow 2d(when i turn on my phone it says Samsung Custom Edition). The real issue is that i cant remove the windows mobile m2d2... i can turn off touchflow 2d by going settings - > today - > items... but i cant uninstall windows mobile m2d2, i used remove programs (from system settings) and used sk tools to remove but manila 2d doesnt show up in the list and i can remove it.

When i go to my PDA version where it should be my Omnia version is M2D2,so is there anyway to recover the original Omnia OS? or to remove manila 2D from my phone?

I hope u can help me

[Touch HD General] Alkali:
Hi!

Please i have just downloaded the Spb backup tool but need to know whether it will restore all my programs,settings and the like becuase i had a nasty experiance with Sprite backup, it does not restore all my data.Thanks.
[Touch HD General] hmillhouse:
hey, I use spb backup all the time. I've done a full backup of everything, programs, contacts, sms, registry etc and restored perfectly.

It also produces log files so you can see if anything looks wrong after backing up.

This is my experience anyway, hope it helps
[Touch HD General] iSlaker:
are you using SPB Backup on the HD? I have tried it and keeps crashing over and over again. I am really desperate for a similar app, that would, at least, restore data without prompting.
[Touch HD General] sirrick1:
same!! I've not been able to do a single back up to my SD card, because keeps crashing, any idea?

anyway I can do it to my PC
[Touch HD General] KukurikU:
i am using SPB for my Athena, Diamond and HD:) with no problems at all but when using it with Diamond and HD before you are starting the backup you have to go to menu\options and untick the "stop processes before backup". If you forget to do so the SPB will try to stop the TF3D resulting in a crash.:)
[Touch HD General] SingaporeAirlines:
SPB Backup always crashes for me and then after you kill it, services.exe crashes repeatedly.
[Touch HD General] lotw:
Oh my god, thanks for that tip. I purchased a lot of the SPB stuff and was really mad that backup kept locking up. I unchecked that in the settings and now it looks like it is working like a charm. Will do further testing to see if it works 100%, real helpful since I am really testing tons of software I own for WM.
[Touch HD General] JOJOBIZ:
thx for this very helpful hint, my spb backup always crashed on my HD many times. now it works perfectly~
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CLShortFuse:
I'm a .NET developer and I had a Tilt (Kaiser) before getting a Fuze (Raphael). GPS issues were always ridiculous. Sometimes I'd get it quickly, sometimes it would take 20 minutes. (Very annoying when you need to drive somewhere fast and the GPS doesn't want to work right.)

GPS ID stands for GPS Intermediate Driver

What this is (added in Windows Mobile 5.0) is to use Windows to ask information about the GPS device, not accessing the GPS device itself. Utilizing the COMM port will lock the COMM port for access. This was a problem so Microsoft made the driver for developers to use. Google Maps uses this driver while in TomTom you have to manually select the COMM port.

Having Windows to read the COMM port keeps it open for other applications to use. It's also faster since it's working as a device driver to the GPS hardware. I'm not sure if HTC updates the driver but the driver takes care of calculating speed, altitude, latitude, longitude, etc as well as parsing the NMEA information.

I've seen a lot of different tools all opening the COMM port directly and as a developer, you shouldn't be doing this, not unless you're using PPC2003. I believe (and this could be just wishful thinking) that GPSID is faster at getting a fix than COMM based. I could be wrong, but that's where you guys can help.

So here's a simple GPSID based GPS Tool. Include the Microsoft written DLL (Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Samples.Location.dll) with the executable.

Maybe I can make a simple application to stay keep the GPS open in the background and if you run it again, a message box appears saying "GPS is closed" or something (like S2U2) does.

Suggestions welcome.

(Link soon---bug testing)

Downloads

GPSTool v0.01

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

First release

GPSToolPro v.0.02

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

Changed name

Added Satellite info

GPSToolPro v.0.03

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

Changed from VB.NET to C#

Added code to obtain cell tower information from RIL (Radio Information Layer)

Query Google for GPS position of cell tower and report to user
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pkley:
It does run and report correctly. Not sure if it helped with the quick fix though.

It really needs signal strength bars. The direction I'm facing and angle I hold my phone makes a difference, without bars I don't know if I'll be standing there forever or if I just need to wait a bit longer...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] xboxhaxorz:
I will try this, currently i use GPS Tool. But yes i do need the bars as those are vital informations.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CLShortFuse:
But what are bars?

Bars are simply graphical representation of %.

If you want the percentage, you take the SatelliteCount and divide that by SatellitesInViewCount * 100

SatelliteCount is the number of satellites locked on to.

SatellitesInViewCount is the number of the satellites that the device is seeing.

I'll make it prettier. Hopefully I can find something that can get a power usage rating and see how much mW are being sucked up by GPS

Edit: Oh wait, I see what you mean. You mean signal strength per satellite. There's something in the API about that. I'll work on that.

Edit2: Okay, got it. Per satellite I have Azimuth, Elevation and Signal Strength
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pkley:
Glad you understand about bars & signal strength. This does launch faster than GPSTest and VisualGPSce, so that's nice.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CLShortFuse:
Okay, i put v0.02

I also renamed the application to GPSToolPro.

The satellite info is Azimuth, Elevation, Signal %

I also added Heading and cleaned up the format slightly. Remember, this is really beta. After we get it working decently I'll pretty it up.

I think it's broken, i'm fixing that.

Edit: It's working now.

What's interesting is that i have A-GPS off and I'm getting 3 satellites in view from sitting in my kitchen and there are no windows nearby.

I'm guessing that means AGPS isn't off as we thought it was.

Edit2: I'm getting a GPS lock from inside my kitchen. I'm looking at the elevation values. I'm not sure what measurement it is but I have 46 and 11

Edit3: Okay, I understand Azimuth and Elevation now. It's strange but why am I getting signal inside if I have AGPS off. I'm turning it on and registry and trying it out.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pkley:
I don't think it's AGPS, I think you're getting GPS signal. I'm pretty sure AGPS is completely disabled in NATF 4.1, requiring a CAB to re-enable it, and I get signal inside buildings... Signal strength GREATLY varies depending on which radio I'm using though.

RE .02 - it doesn't work on my device. Extracted on the PC, copied over via Mobile Device Center, it launches & runs for a couple seconds, then errors out. NullReferenceException

Hmm, I changed the refresh to 3 seconds and it hasn't quit yet. Maybe it doesn't like 1 second? - Update, I did a SR to see how quick it would lock, 1 second did not error, but the data values flicked on/off so fast I couldn't see them until they populated the upper right. Oh and the lock was pretty quick >30 seconds.

What do the three boxes represent? Is Left the current refresh, Upper Right the locked satellites?

On v.01 the elevation was not accurate, reporting 130' but really where I'm at is closer to 500'.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mindfrost82:
This seems pretty good so far.

I got a fix within seconds inside my living room on 5 sats. I also loaded VisualGPSCe to verify and it showed the same thing. I loaded up iGo and it showed a strong GPS signal and an accurate position.

Of course I also use GPS about 4 hours ago, so I'm not sure if that helped it any or not.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pkley:
The real test is when you're nowhere near you were on the last lock. Otherwise (from what a senior member wrote), if it sees all the same satellites from the previous time it was on, the lock is pretty quick.

I think this leads to some people reporting constant 20 second locks vs several minute locks. If you never wander more than 20 miles, I'm guessing it still has the proper data stored.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CLShortFuse:
This is called the GPS Almanac. The GPS information is stored in the "GPS Almanac" so when you start up the GPS again, it reads what's on the GPS Almanac and gets a fix faster. This is called a hot fix. When the GPS Almanac is out of date or the location is moved then it takes longer to get a fix. This is called a cold fix.

I've managed to use Google's servers as well as the cell phone's towerID to find the approximate longitude and latitude. I'm working on putting this information into the GPS Almanac and then turning on the GPS device. It might avoid ever having to do a cold fix.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] paulyluca:
It's not a cab, it's a zip. how do I install this, please?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mindfrost82:
Just copy both files somewhere and run the exe.

I just stuck them in the same folder on my SD card and ran it from there.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] scdavis:
Great work CLShortFuse,

So I tested it out outside on my deck (30 degrees out, so it warmed up!) and this is the info i got...

Running JUST google maps after a soft reset:

1 minute 22 secs and 9 satellite lock

GPSTest after a soft reset

29sec, 1.2HDOP, 3D, 8 Sat

GPSTool after a soft reset

31 sec, 10 sat and a lot of info that is beyond me :)

Looks like a good tool and i'm positive with time and work it'll be great!

-SCDavis
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pkley:
Now that would be the bomb!

Your software did not seem to get a lock quicker once I drove 30 miles away. Course neither did GPSTest...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] drjim:
So I installed GPSToolPro. It seems to be working.

A few questions.

1. How is this app different than GPSTest?

2. How do the two columns differ in the information they offer?

3. What is the practical value of the data for each satellite?

4. What is a reasonable Update interval?

5. When should this app be used?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CLShortFuse:
It's still a work in progress. As of right now, no benefit. I've already managed to get an AGPS signal (something HTC didn't do for the device) but I'm still trying to send those coordinates to the GPS device. If I can do that, the GPS device won't have to cold fix anymore. Basically, if you have an internet connection you'll never have to cold fix anymore. Hot fixes in 30seconds or less. I have an idea of how to do it, but I haven't got around to playing with that.

I'll also try to add as many advanced functions as I can with the device including to completely power off the GPS device and not keep it on standby (shutting off GPS to any other applications in the background).

It's to be a truly complete diagnostic tool.

I know it's ugly right now I can work on the UI after I get the technical stuff working.

1) I haven't looked into GPSTest, so I don't know.

2) The top right is satellites in view and the bottom right is satellites locked onto.

3) The values are Azimuth, Elevation, Signal Strength

4) I keep it at 1 second but how often you want to refresh the GPSID information. Any value lower than the GPSID Poll frequency in the registry is pointless

5) Right now, just for seeing what's going on with the GPS. Hopefully in the future it'll have a more practical use (faster GPS fixes)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] drjim:
Thanks, CLSF. It sounds like it will develop into a useful tool.

While I have you, does the FUZE GPS use data from a data plan, i.e., does it get its info through the mobile provider's cellular system?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] drjim:
ps-uninstall

If I wanted to uninstall and wait for final product, how would I do that? I don't see it in my Programs or Remove Programs lists?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
If you disable AGPS from Start -> Settings -> System -> AGPS Settings, then the Fuze will not start a data connection to assist with navigating.

It did not install. Just delete the files.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] drjim:
NATF responding to one of my queries?!?! I am not worthy!!!

But seriously, thanks. So are you saying with AGPS disabled (which is the recommendation anyway, I could use my GPS anywhere in the world and NOT incur roaming data charges?

While I have you, any thoughts on free or cheap use of my Fuze in Canada or abroad?

And thanks for uninstall instructions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
As long as AGPS is unchecked, the Fuze will not attempt to open a data connection.

As for roaming... I don't leave the US of A very often (last time was the Bahamas in 2001), so I can't be of much help on that front.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CLShortFuse:
Okay guys. v0.03 is up. I've managed to get the radio tower information from the RIL and then query Google's server for the Lat/Long position. I just need you guys to test that out.

The next step is to try to Force Shutdown the GPS device, disconnecting the GPS device from all applications. It's a call I do to the DeviceIOControl. Once I get that working, I'll try get the IOCTL_GPS_WRITE_ASSISTED command working, which will tell the device the approximate GPS position (cell tower position) and hopefully will allow it to get really quick fixes (30 seconds or less) regardless of not having a lock recently.

Btw, NATF, I'm a huge fan.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] NLS:
this grows very interesting
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] wanwarlock:
wow! this app (v0.03) managed to get me a fix in less than 2 minutes, and indoors as well! cell data working as well. was using GPSTest before, but now will use this to get a faster fix.

thanks man

edit: does querying google use a network connection i.e. gprs/3g? i was connected to wmdc. will test this out in the real world...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] p50kombi:
maybe stupid question...but still.....

Hey guys.

Just a small question.

Do you need to run this program every time you want to use a GPS application, or does it start at startup and stays loaded in background...

I use FusionGPS and it helps to get a quick fix.

Was wondering if this program just runs in background.

Thanks....
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] fourcc:
google's cell data work perfectly but it doesn't seem to help the tool to speed the fix at all. am i misunderstanding this cell data feature? maybe meanwhile it simply gives google's info but still don't use it to speed the fix? maybe in future GPStoolPro versions?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mindfrost82:
I believe he's writing this program in steps.

Right now he's able to get the lat/long info from google, but he mentioned the IOCTL_GPS_WRITE_ASSISTED command isn't working yet, which I believe is what is needed to make it get a faster fix.

So it won't be using that data yet until he gets that function to work, then we should see huge improvements.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] fourcc:
thanks a lot mindfrost82 for the clear explanation. Hope CLShortFuse get it work soon. it would be the perfect definitive medicin for all the gps problems that raphael, Blackstone & diamond users usually have.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] fourcc:
another thing if noticed with GPSTOLLPRO is that i get quick gps fixes into the tool, but after it, if i launch gps test or tomtom directly, they have t wait long until they get a fix, so it seems that GTP doesn't kick the GPS fixes in the other GPS tools. Again am i doing something wrong?
