[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] dnlfortea:
Hello!

I got the set up you propose and I experienced that battery runs faster than in o2 wm 6 rom, do you experience same thing? Could it be because of the rom or m2d? Are skins making slower performance or consuming battery? In that case I will stay with m2d with no skin... That's fine for me.

Furthermore, I can't watch youtube videos (I downloaded alldevices 19b M2D), do I need an especial application to watch flash multimedia?

Can actually someone recommend a free multimedia player to watch avi, flash and others formats?

I would apreciate a taskmanager to really close programs and not let them in Ram and making me go to standard taskmanager every 5 minutes to close them. Can someone recommend a good one? I thought M2D had one....

I don't find the settings window usefull, is there anyway to configure it and add/remove my preferred settings tools instead of the useless ones that appear?

Finally, is Sktools an usefull tool?

THANKS TO ALL IN ADVANCE!!!!

I have open ears for evey recommendation to optimize my device!!!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] dnlfortea:
I forgort it... This rom has deleted outlook mobile and java support? I don't find them...
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] dnlfortea:
Hello all!

I try this rom with SPB Shell and Pocket Plus (wonderful taskmanager, file exploring and internet browser options) with animation disabled and it runs much better and I find it more functional, useful and customizable and no bugs, no issues... I didn't have time to compare battery life yet... But with manila it was 21-22 free ram and with SPB it is 23-24 free ram... I am also going to try sktools and sk shorcut manager for full performance and customization.

For multimedia player I am trying dvix player, core player and TCPMP...

I still don't know if I can run jad or jar aplications... I try a few and I think I can't...

Hope this information will be useful! For now I am very happy with this device and I order a 3200 mAh ultra capacity battery from worcell with sony japanese cells and just 4 mm thicker.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tkima1:
When I turn on my device (TP) it ALWAYS asks me to align the screen and to config the calender and time, and also it asks me if I want to put a lock on it. (However the startup video does NOT show)

This is really annoying! Because I hade soft resetting or turning of the device, because I know I need to do that align and configs again!

I've hard reseted my device once, and before I hard resetted my phone, it wasn't like this! Is there a way to turn this of?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] marcd:
Just out of intrest, do you loose any data when you startup. Examples are other Windows settings, contacts, messages, history etc?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] marcd:
sorry, double post
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rb14:
Just to be clear, are you properly aligning the screen? I had to talk a geeky mate of mine through the process. He was briefly tapping the screen and the cursor wasn't moving around the screen as it should. I had to explain that you have to keep the stylus pressed gently on the screen over the little cross until it moves to the next position. Repeat at each position.

Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tkima1:
Uhmm, No I don't loose any data (settings or anything)

Also, yes I align the screen correctly I guess. I do it just as you tell me:P

But it's like, when you first got the phone, You first installed the WM (I don't) Then you align the screen (This I have to do) Then it asks you to tell it what time it is (This I also got to do every time i turn off and on my device) Then it asks if you want to have a code lock, you can skip or press next to make a lock (This I also have to do, And YES, I have tried to make a password and then just delete it afterwards) Then it tells you to type in PIN code (I also got to do this, but this is nothing I want removed:P hehe) Then lastly it auto configurated what network you use (For you guys ATT and sprint maybe, I got NetCom - Also this I do NOT have to do)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tkima1:
Please help me! :P hehe

Really annoying that I need to config this setting each time I restart my Cellphone :P
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] marcd:
Has i always been this way? Have you not had the phone long?

It sounds like you didn't hard reset your phone after you either turned it on for the first time, or flashed a custom ROM.

I bet a hard reset will work, if not then it sounds like a hardware problem. Like back in the old days before WM5 if your battery died, thats it it would wipe. This is because the memory in the phone is volitile. Your phone might not be keeping the settings or supplying enough power.

Try a hard reset first, this usually solves most problems like this
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tkima1:
As said, I got this phone for christmas, I turned it on, and had to set it up, I did, and when I restarted the phone I did NOT have to set it ut again!

After 1 month I hard reseted it (Because of a bad program which ruined my dailpad) and now I have to set up the phone EACH TIME I turn it on!! (I do not have to install WM or config the Network)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tkima1:
OK, so I've Hard Reset my device again, works perfectly now! :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] devir:
Hello,

i'm a regular visitor to these pages, mostly in the XV6800 forums.

A friend recently got the HTC Touch pro (the upgrade to the diamond) yet I cannot find a forum for it here yet.

I'm wondering if there is a stock ROM in the Spanish language that is compatible with the Touch Pro that I can use. THis is for a friend who can speak English, but cannot read it very good and would prefer to load his phone with a Spanish language ROM.

I found some stock ROMS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=413910 spanish being one of the options. Is it compatible or do I need a Touch Pro specific ROM?

This person has no interest in custom ROMs and mods. Therefore the more stock I keep his phone the better.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] omaga:
You cant flash Diamond rom to Pro and vise versa, that can brick your phone.

Hello,

I'm still using original WM5 ROM with the device.

but only one thing impacts me - I can not rotate the screen to landscape orienation, I need it for one application, which I use daily.

I've tried to rotate programmaticaly, but API call returns that rotation is not supported.

If someone has WM6.1 romon the device, can you tell me please:

Is screen rotation supported with WM6.1 rom?

Rgds.

[HTC Oxygen] amigo421:
here is a simple sample which has to detect this ability

I suppose there are applications which can do this, but I don't know about it

Rgds,

[HTC Oxygen] haaibaa2:
Tried it with a little tool I created using the code you send. And it is not working (At least in the ZFree version). Maybe the dragonball version supports it, but I doubt it.

[G1 Apps and Games] khoaitaychienvn:
I used "watts" to keep track of my battery, just started using it yesterday and today I saw a weird period of the graph where the battery actually raised up to 3% higher by itself. Is this normal? Have a look at the graph below.

​
[G1 Apps and Games] Karolis:
Maybe you had your phone connected to the computer at that point?
[G1 Apps and Games] khoaitaychienvn:
No, it was in my pocket. I can be sure about that.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
Well its probably measuring voltage.

Voltage goes up when the battery gets warm.

Voltage goes up when the current goes down.
[G1 Apps and Games] ultra spikey:
I thought it was the other way around? Voltage goes up when the battery gets colder...
[G1 Apps and Games] roguestatuskat:
yeahh you're right thats why you can put your batteries in the fridge to make them work again . lol i discovered this when i was 5 XDXD
[G1 Apps and Games] benmyers2941:
Resistance goes down with cold, so if your measuring a circuit there would be less voltage drop giving the appearance of higher voltage provided the voltage source is not subject to the same temprature fluctuations.
[G1 Apps and Games] Karolis:
I've just checked Watts data for the last couple of days on my phone -- there are those spikes too. It must have something to do with hot/cold issue as mentioned by others.

Has anybody managed to configure an external bluetooth GPS unit with the new windows mobie 6.5beta?

I can pair them, but the JRTGPS (JR-29) remains disconnected and when I try to connect it I get:

Your device did not connect with JRTGPS. The connection failed or the passcode is incorrect

Tomtom naturally does not see the GPS unit.

See settings at the bottom. By the way the JR-29 are very sturdy, small and compact and used standard nokia batteries so a lovely and cheap 42 channels bluetooth gps receiver!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] homam_france:

hi, i paired my blue angel easly,Garmin xt 5.00.20 software,connected without any problem,my bluetooth gps reciever is hulox slim 236.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] markanthonypr:
Thats one of the best GPS I've had. I had another BT and had problems locking on Sats. Had a wired one and also had problems with Sats. GPSlim 236 always locks on atleast 6 Sats and I've had up to 9 at a time. Great buy!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] markanthonypr:
Verify a few things...

1. Make sure you don't set BT GPS as Serial

2. Make sure you have assigned an Outgoing COM Port to the GPS (You need to know which one your GPS uses. IE: GPSlim236 uses Port 6.

3. Try both, Secured and Unsecured for the port you chose.(I use secured)

4. On Settings>> GPS Settings>>Program: verify that you have (None) for "Program Port Software

5. On Settings>> GPS Settings>>Hardware: Select the same COM port assigned under BT Outgoing Port. (my case Port 6)(Baud Rate 115200)

6. On Settings>> GPS Settings>>Access: Select Automatic

Hope this helps. Good Luck
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] April 1:

thanks to everybody I got it working now!

In case anybody else has a JR-29 (they were very popular on ebay when I bought it some 2 years ago, cheap and with 42 channels)

Bluetooth Settings:

- Outgoing COM PORT 8

- Authentication passkey required = ON

External GPS:

- Program port NONE

- COM Hardware port 8

- Bauds 9600

- manage GPS on (works with off as well but seems to take longer to handshake)

Hi,

I have a gpslim240 but my situation is like gloomyboy. When I tried to pair my gps, it always said "wrong password". Can you tell me more about what you did to make it work ?

Did you do all the settings part BEFORE or AFTER trying to pair the devices ?

The GPS problem is the only thing make me regret to have a BA because all other things work great.

Any help is welcome.

Thx

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] gloomyboy:
As soon as I try to pair up I am prompted for a password and enter 0000

that has never been a problem for me

I hear other passwords are 1234

and 00000
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mik-:
I know my password is 0000, I switch to WM2003 each trip I make to be able to use my GPS. I use it also with my laptop.

So I know for sure this is a problem with any rom WM5+. I was hopeless until today. I just want to know exactly what you done because if this is only a settings problem, it's a great new ... I thought it was a driver problem.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] gloomyboy:
well for my GPS it is a MUST to disable secure connection but I have to enable authentica. Play with those settings...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] aaraj:

Try swampys V3 full rom (not the basic version), it definately has working bluetooth drivers.

Setting up external Bluetooth GPS

You only have to do this, if you want to use an external Bluetooth GPS. If you have never used your external Bluetooth GPS, this takes five minutes.

Connecting via bluetooth

* Make sure that the Bluetooth GPS device is turned on.

* On your phone go to Start-->Settings-->Connections-->Bluetooth.

* Set the checkbox "Turn on bluetooth" on the "Mode" tab.

* Go to the "devices" tab and choose "Add new device".

* Your bluetooth GPS device should appear in the list, otherwise recheck that its bluetooth functionality is turned on.

* Select your GPS device and click "continue" on the very bottom of the screen.

* You may be asked for a password - if you know the password enter it of course. Probably you don't because you didn't configure it.

o If you don't know the password, first try entering nothing (empty password) and continue.

o If that doesn't work try entering four zeroes "0000".

o Otherwise try reading the GPS devices manual or the manufacturer's web page.

* After you took that hurdle, check "serial port" as connection service - then click finish.

* Your device should now be listed on the bluetooth devices tab.

Configuring the COM port

* Go to the COM tab in the same Bluetooth system settings.

* Select "new connection".

* Select your Bluetooth GPS device.

* A COM connection will be shown "e.g. COM8", note this down, and click finish.

* Go to Start-->Settings-->GPS (or External GPS).

* Go to the "Hardware" tab and make sure that the GPS hardware connection is the COM connection you just noted down.

Check if your GPS works

* Start TomTom and configure other bluetooth device, port8
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] markanthonypr:
Sorry for the clarification/correction for the benefit of the forum users.

NOTE 1 >> So far in the years I've been using BT Devices, all of them always use password 0000.

NOTE 2 >> Serial port is only used for WIRED attachments using a Data Cable. If its BT, do not check Serial.

NOTE 3 >> COM ports are not chosen randomly. You need to know the specific port that your device uses.

@mik-

You can go to BuyGPSNow and click on Customer Service... Ask a Question... and get the exact COM port that GPSlim 240 uses.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mik-:
Thx a lot all !!!!

I can now use my GPS !!!!

Here is what I did :

-Add BT device.

-When Asked for password : 0000 ====> Error

-When Asked for password : 0000 ====> Error

-When Asked for password : 0000 ====> No error

Now I can choose a "BT Service" but no service are in the list.

-Save

-In the BT devices list, choose "Edit" for the GPS.

-Go in the "BT Services" and hit "refresh 4-5 times (until the serial service is shown).

-Choose Serial

-Create a new outgoing port (com 6) without secure connection.

In external GPS,

-Choose Hardware Com 6, 38400

Use COM 6 in any GPS software.

I tried to use COM 9 for "program port", but the GPS softwares didn't find a GPS on this port. But since COM 6 works, I'm REALLY happy.

Thank you very much.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] red_hanks:
so what is the cheapest GPS unit I can buy for BA?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] gloomyboy:
2 years ago I bought my JRT-29 for 35 euros on ebay

It was advertised as bluetooth GPS 42 channels and is black and probably 5cm x 5cm (or 2" x 2" if you are in the states)

It uses standard nokia phone batteries which are easy to source so a very good purchase as far as I am concerned and works with the BA
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] motisu:
Hi,

Beg to differ with you:

1. I personally have a BT carkit mirror that has a pairing code of 8888, and I once had a BT headset that had the pairing code printed on a label hidden under the battery. So it is not always 0000 although most of the time it is.

2. Serial is NOT only for wired use. Older BT stacks used to use a virtual serial port for BT protocol communication and some still do. I have a Holux GPSlim 236 and the only service that shows up after I pair it is Serial.

3. The COM port used is not random, but you can pick any one that is free. I have successfully use COM6, COM7 and COM8 with the Holux connecting to IGO. You just have to make sure that you set up the same COM port in the BT settings and in the GPS program.

Personally, I dont even use the external GPS program. I set up the BT device and COM port in BT settings, then I go into the GPS program (IGO or Google Maps) and set the same settings there and it all works.

Hope this helps anybody who is having problems.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] markanthonypr:
Like I said, based on my experience, its always been 0000, but yes, I should have said, "Unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer".

I confirmed on the Holux Website the info about Serial VS COM and they also state as I wrote. Anytime they talk about Serial, they talk about Data Cable, if they talk about BT, they talk about COM ports. They were who told me that i had to use COM port 6 for my GPSlim236. I guess there are other manufacturers that work differently.

I've tried other COM ports with IGO8 with no luck, Unless I left it a NONE and Windows External GPS settings were already set to what they should be, then IGO8 doesn't complain. Same happens with LiveSearch.

Either way, I acept the diference in settings that we use. :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] misi2096:

Do you have problems setting iGO8 or setting your GPS ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] misi2096:
My iGO8 does not recognize the the Nokia GPS receiver. The receiver works without problems with the GPS software on other Nokia phones and with iGO 2006 SE+, so I assume that the BA is compatible with the receiver...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] markanthonypr:
BA doesn't have internal GPS. So we use external GPS. I would "guess" you need to find the settings that your phone uses(Comm/Serial/BaudRate/etc) and import those into iGO8. However, why not consider using an upgraded version of iGO8. I use version 8.0.0.49545 30Jul2008 search google.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] misi2096:
Sorry for my english, but you might have misunderstood me:

1. I have a Nokia LD-3W external bluetooth GPS receiver

2. I know that the BA has no built in GPS receiver

3. I already tried the version "8.0.0.49545 30Jul2008" and with the newer ones like v8.3.2.71348 (Jan 7 2009) but it did not work either

Nokia E65 + Garmin + LD-3W -----> Works

BA (Win 5.?) + iGO 2006 SE + ----> Works

BA (Win 6.1) + iGO8 -------------> Does not work

Do you have a Nokia LD-3W receiver?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
I have never come across an issue like this. The only thing that I can think of is that the BT module used to cook the rom is not correct, but if that were the case, BT may not even turn on at all.
