[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
This phone is a bit of an eye-magnet indeed. It is the first time for me to see other people wanting to check out my mobile phone when I put it out of my pocket. They get crazy when the keyboard flips out! :) Unfortunately I didn't get any unknown chick close encounter yet with it...

But here's a true story, it happened to me:

I had exams on a moderately easy lab in college. I was too bored to study so I put all the theory pdfs in my XPERIA. At first I used it as a calculator but when I found the chance I fired up AdobeReader and started checking out answers.

The teacher didn't mind that I used it as a calculator and it was easy enough for me to turn off the screen when he was near me. At the end of the exam though he wanted to check out the phone (he didn't manage to resist his gadgetry urge) and guess what... He took it from my desk and flipped the keyboard out! :( Then the screen turned on revealing my cheating ways to him. We were both shocked!

Luckily he didn't fail me, I managed to persuade him that I didn't use it for long (which is kinda true). The really cool thing is that I did get a 10 (out of 10) :D grade which I still think is a mistake and wasn't intentional (I can't explain it either). As you can imagine we had many good laughs with this story with my friends.

So watch it, don't use your XPERIA as a cheating device, it is too flashy to do such a low profile dirty work. :)

hey..people love visiting facebook from my X1 in the class now.
[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
I suppose the fact that I am writing an LCARS home screen replacement completely kills any chick magnet potential. :D

I'm not even a true geek as I am using C# and I have to use C++ to make it a real panel. :(
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
I hate SE for not supporting C#... i mean, why the heck couldn't they do that?!??!!? I was so looking forward to developing a panel, and then Wham! it only supports C++. It's not like i don't know the language, but i just don't want to remember the C++ days! Either one of C# or VB.Net would have been awesome!
[XPERIA X1 General] taarmen:
The one thing i miss, but the iphone has. Are funny cute games.

I cant find any decent (free or paid) games for the xperia:(
[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
Too true. I mean they support HTML for crying out loud, but they left dpi scaling turned on which makes it hard to get the sizes right so even simple panels are actually harder to do in HTML than they are in C#.

I was shocked, I only decided to try to learn C# in January after getting fed up with trying to get the HTML panel to work properly and was able to do simple application launching within minutes. Of course I then realised SE did not support C# panels, but its not the end of the world running it separately - if I can ever get the event handlers to respond after standby/launching an app from it.

As for games, I totally agree. But then the touch screen is not as responsive as the iPhone and the GPU certainly is not as good it seems. Plus, the iPhone is so common.

It is annoying though, surely the hardware specs are close enough to make porting games from iPhone to Windows Mobile fairly simple. I was tempted to get an iPod Touch just for the games, but then I find most touch screen only games unplayable so couldn't justify it.
[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
The GPU is closed as in no one knows how to utilize it, except the media panel and Windows Media Player. Qualcomm is to blame for that. We paid for the hardware, we have it and we can't use it.
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
Yeh

Exactly the reason my PSP runs M33 and my iPhone is Pwned and Jailbroken, pi**es me off to no end to pay for a peice of hardware to be told how I can and can't use it.

Had I known about XDA-devs before buying my Xperia and read the stuff on here I most certainly would have not taken it.

It's my 1st WinMo phone and my first SE (always had Nokia) and I'm huuuuuuugely disappointed with the lack of content. (The phone has been out long enough right? It's not exactly new?)
[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
We certainly do not have full access, but the graphics driver is supposed to use it to some extent. Problem is, its vastly underpowered for the resolution of the X1 at least using the existing driver.

The most baffling is the theory that the GPU has 128MB of RAM assigned to it, yet we can't reap the benefits of that.
[XPERIA X1 General] pimpmydragon:
Chicks love this phone, and say it's cooler than iPhone. I can't say it's gotten me laid but... it sure helped :D

EDIT: IT HELPED. hahaha
[XPERIA X1 General] humble:
i pray

right now im lmao. I hope it has the same effect when i get it back:D
[XPERIA X1 General] achmed20:
so true. somehow they stop by and take a look at the blue glowing keyboard. but ... it didnt helped me "yet" to get a girl laid down :D
[XPERIA X1 General] F-Styla:
i hope the girls like the phone, it was expensive enough.

i ve got the black one, but nearly everyone of my friends has got a touch handy or a smartphone. but nothing is as stylish as the keyboard of the xperia, especialle on the black version (contrast between phone and keyboard).

oh yea..thats the best moment when u snap out the keyboard...they are like 'woah'

and of course helping them feed the fish.

and i added the disco light app also..cool stuff really.
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
they have a disco light app!?!? Haha the ladies love the flashing lights on the side, but they're not too keen about my FFVII Victory ringtone. Other than that, it's an eye-catcher for sure.

[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
Keep us informed about that! :p
[XPERIA X1 General] Gibbs:
You guys crack me up.

I'm a chick, and I love my xperia. I'd talk with a guy with an xperia, diamond, fuze, or other wm phone, and discuss ROM flashing, apps, screen resolution, etc. etc. All with my wonderful husband standing by my side! :D
[XPERIA X1 General] neowkewl:

I'm going to laugh so hard when someone posts back "so, this hot chick was giving me her number... but after having to do 3 soft resets she had gone :( "
[XPERIA X1 General] madindehead:
That is truly awesome. I can tell you however, I don't think it would ever happen. I have had a few people at work who are amazed by the HD2. But had nothing for my Xperia sadly =( Apart from my girlfriend who loves it, and now owns it...

Haha. That's classic.

I ran as fast as i could and he was following me but lucky for me there was a cop around the corner and he quickly turned around....not the experience i was hoping for....

Hellow all,

I was trying to use the hacked IM (the one that DroidSans released) in RC33 in order to force the Messenger to work with non T-mobile SIM but It make my G1 stuck on the Android Logo while booting.

I replaced the IM.odex file with the 1 that DroidSans released.

It worked perfect on RC30 1.41

Does any1 have a solution for that?
[G1 Android Development] kay11224:
DroidSans only works for RC28, RC29, RC30. it hasnt been relased for RC33 yet
[G1 Android Development] danguyf:
DroidSans Tweaks has; check the Market.

The hacked IM.odex hasn't been updated though, perhaps.
[G1 Android Development] pablizzo:
i cant use the default IM client in jf's rc33, force closes when i try to use msn
[G1 Android Development] Shindokie:
You should try to do a wipeout. Make sure you save or write down whatever you have on your phone first though. I was having an issue with latitude but once i did the wippeout it started working so.
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
I think you should contact Droidsans team. I wait for the IM.odex and Vending.odex too. Without Tmobile sim, I can't find Linda File Browser.

Read Search

hey not any Rom is the best because you have to search read and find the best ROM which suites you friend, try the wiki or the p3600 Rom collection thread. Read - search. Read - search that's the best way to find your answer.
[General Questions and Answers] Ather:
a little help please brother? (and sisters) i need to Read a registery key in a text box and then write that reg key with another value using C#, but im getting no where i've looked at thousand of samples but cant get it to read nor write, every time diff error pops up :o

any help? :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
Ather,

Try this :-

you will need, a form, two textboxes txbKey and txbValue, two buttons btnRead and btnUpdate. The code for Form1.cs follows. VS 2005 .NET CF2.0 project created as DevApp

The trick is to use the last '\' to split the subkey from the key.

It works but there is no error checking, I'll leave that to you. If the SubKey does not exist, rk is returned as 'null' and the following GetValue or SetValue will fail.

Registry.CurrentUser takes you down the HKCU hive of the registry, you'll need to change this if you need HKLM etc.

Good Luck!

P.S. the damn formatter insists on inserting a space in LastIndexOf on the first button. There is no space.

P.P.S This method will only work for Strings. To write binary values, doublewords etc. will need more work, but you should get the idea.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.Win32;

namespace DevApp
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void btnRead_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String SubKey=txbKey.Text.Substring(0,txbKey.Text.LastIndexOf('\\'));
String Key=txbKey.Text.Substring(txbKey.Text.LastIndexOf('\\')+1);
RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(SubKey);
txbValue.Text = rk.GetValue(Key).ToString();
}

private void btnUpdate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String SubKey = txbKey.Text.Substring(0, txbKey.Text.LastIndexOf('\\'));
String Key = txbKey.Text.Substring(txbKey.Text.LastIndexOf('\\') + 1);
RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(SubKey,true);
rk.SetValue(Key, txbValue.Text);
}
}
}
[General Questions and Answers] Ather:
wow Thanks, will try it and let you know ;]
[General Questions and Answers] Ather:
hmm, lets say i want to read the value "Skin" from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today, what will be the code for it? i tried to use :

String SubKey = txbKey.Text.Substring(0, txbKey.Text.LastIndexOf("\\Software\\Microsoft\\Today"));
String Key = txbKey.Text.Substring(txbKey.Text.LastIndexOf("\\Skin") + 1);
RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(SubKey);
txbValue.Text = rk.GetValue(Key).ToString();

it builds fine, but when i run it, and click the button, nothing happens :O
[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
OK let's go back a step.

Here the @ prefix can be used so you can enter slashes in strings as single slashes. To read a registry key both the Subkey and the Key/Value pair MUST exist, or the GetValue will return a null object, causing the ToString() to fail. Does this key exist? Check it out with remote registry viewer in Visual Studio Remote tools, can be used with the emulator or your real PPC

When the value is being written, it does not have to exist first as SetValue will overwrite it if already present, and add it if not.

RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"\Software\Microsoft\Today");

if(rk!=null)
{
if(rk.GetValue(@"\Skin") != null)
String value=rk.GetValue(@"\Skin").ToString();
else
// Error Key/Value not found.
}
else
//Error Subkey not found
[General Questions and Answers] Ather:
:-/ still nothing

Here is the whole code (im sure it works for windows too)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.Win32;

namespace DevApp

}

private void btnRead_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String SubKey = txbKey.Text.Substring(0, txbKey.Text.LastIndexOf(@"\Software\HimaFlash\"));
String Key = txbKey.Text.Substring(txbKey.Text.LastIndexOf(@"ModelID") + 1);
RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"\Software\HimaFlash\");

txbValue.Text = rk.GetValue(Key).ToString();
}

private void btnUpdate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String SubKey = txbKey.Text.Substring(0, txbKey.Text.LastIndexOf(@"\Software\HimaFlash\"));
String Key = txbKey.Text.Substring(txbKey.Text.LastIndexOf(@"ModelID") + 1);
RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"\Software\HimaFlash\");

rk.SetValue(Key, txbValue.Text);
}

private void btnRead_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//ignore this...
}
}
}

again thanks for all your help :-)
[General Questions and Answers] Chainfire:
Well I hardly ever use C#, but it seems your not setting the RootKey to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE anywhere.
[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
Chainfire - The Registry.CurrentUser sets an implied root of HKEY_CURRENT_USER for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE use Registry.LocalMachine

Ather, right, lets ignore parsing the textbox and use this, the subkey does not end in a slash, and the key does not begin with one.

RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"Software\HimaFlash");
txbValue.Text = rk.GetValue("ModelID").ToString();

It should work. I can't test your values above as they don't exist on my phone or on the emulator, but I have just run the following on the Mobile 5 SDK emulator

RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync");
txbValue.Text = rk.GetValue("Device").ToString();

And the text in the value box changes to "PPC", the value that you would expect.
[General Questions and Answers] Ather:
wow it worked, and do you know what was the fault? :p

i was puting the code under :

private void btnRead_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

this time i tried under :

private void btnRead_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)

and it worked :D

ok i can now read the registery, how do i write it? :)
[General Questions and Answers] Ather:
ok never mind, found the writing part my self :

RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Today", true);
rk.SetValue("Skin", txbValue.Text);

and here is the final result :)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.Win32;

namespace DevApp

//telling the program to load the current reg entry on startup

RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"\Software\merlot\AudioChecker");
txbKey.Text = rk.GetValue("StartApplication").ToString();
}

private void btnUpdate_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

//this command sets the value of txtValue(textbox) to your desired setting

RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"\Software\merlot\AudioChecker", true);
rk.SetValue("StartApplication", txbValue.Text);
}

private void menuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Application.Exit(); //Exit Key

}

private void menuItem2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("AudioCatcher Config\nThanks to merlot\nand stephj :)"); //About Key
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//this does the same as the startup code does, what it does is that it will display the reg entry set :>

RegistryKey rk = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"\Software\merlot\AudioChecker");
txbKey.Text = rk.GetValue("StartApplication").ToString();
}
}
}

//thanks again to stephj
[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
Glad you got it all to work.

The code in the original post up at the top, using the LastIndexOf('\\') method was designed to split the contents of the textbox into the subkey and key automatically. If the textbox contents were 'Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Device' then it would place 'Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync' into the string Subkey and 'Device' into Key. I didn't try it if there is no slash in the field. It probably needs a bit of tidying up.
[General Questions and Answers] Ather:
ah so that code would have worked too, but like i said, i was putting it on the wrong handler :P
[Touch Pro CDMA] groaner:
Hi everybody!

I have an HTC Touch Pro from Bell and for some reason it has stopped notifying me by sound or vibrate that i have recieved an email. Text messages work, alerts of meetings work, everything works except mail.

I also do not get an icon in the top bar telling me there is a new email alert.

I have one account set up, but it is not set up as the "Outlook E-mail" account.

All notification settings are set as on.

I'm stumped. I also checked all the "tweak" apps i have in stalled and none of them have a feature to turn of mail notification.

If you have any ideas I would love to hear from you! PLEASE!!! It's driving me batty!!!

Thanks!

Navigate to HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\A877D65A

Quoting from XDA now:

The values in these keys will determine what options are available (AvailableOptions) and which options are selected (Options).

The values relate to the following (in the order on the Notifications tab):

1 = Play Sound

16 = Repeat

8 = Display message on screen

4 = Flash light for ...

2 = Vibrate

Add the numbers of the notifications you desire. So if you wanted all of them selected you would put 31 in the Options key. If you only wanted a message and vibrate you would put 10.

Next step.

AvailableOptions determine which boxes are available and which are grayed out. (we will leave out Repeat until later). Options determines which are selected, and yes you can select something in Options that is not selected in AvailableOptions, it will appear as a grayed out check box that is selected.

So if AvailableOptions is set to 10 only the Display message on screen and Vibrate check boxes will be available, the rest will be grayed out. If the Options value is 14, the Play Sound will be grayed out, unselected; the Display message will be available and selected; the Flash light will be grayed out, but selected and 5 min (Duration key = 5); Vibrate will be available and selected.

So set the options you want to select and unselect using the Available Options key and use the Options key to specify which are selected. Changing the selection in the Notifications tab will change the value of the Options key, but will not change the AvailableOpions key.

The only values accepted for either are 1-15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31

Is is because you can't have Repeat (16) without Play sound (1), that's why there are numbers missing. I tested putting 16 in AvailableOptions and 31 in Options and all boxes were selected, but grayed out.
