In my opinion PIE is horrible. Besides the word "funderful" (long story), there is nothing I hate more than Pocket IE. There are a TON of free alternatives you should try. I currently have all of these on my device, and most are capable of true desktop browsing.

Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta NSFan's build (this build supports ~10 tabs and is fast)

Bolt (still in beta, released very recently, pretty damn fast, and you need a Java program, like the one that comes on the Tilt)

Iris (Like NSFan's build of Opera it supports tabs. It's still in beta, pretty good, based on the WebKit rendering engine like Android's browser and Safari Mobile)

Skyfire (true Flash 10 and Silverlight 2 support, need I say more?)

Opera Mini (kinda like PIE, except it doesn't suck and it goes fast, and you need a Java program)

All of these browsers are quite capable of a pleasant browsing experience, and all should be quite easy to find on google. They're all free too, but Iris and Bolt require registration before you can download (but they both seem like reputable companies).

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:
ucweb does have an english version but it kinda reminded me of the browser that was on my moto about 8 years ago. It is really fast but is poorly created. I do not think it supports flash, at least I don't remember. Here is a cab if anyone is interested
[Touch HD General] Christov:
Hey guys, this has probably been answered before but I've had a look around... cant find a solution!

I ride a motorcycle and the satnav on the phone is absolutely superb, I'm using TomTom6, but unfortunately the problem I have is that I have to keep the phone in my pocket... which poses a problem as turning the phone into sleep mode or locking the phone turns the GPS chip off completely!

I can't really keep the phone on tomtom while in my pocket without locking it as touching the screen causes the tomtom to enter the menu and a whole series of settings get touched accidentally!

So is there a way to put the phone into sleep mode, by which i mean quickly pressing the button on the top to turn the screen off... but keep the gps on?

I've tried using HDTweak and AdvancedConfig but can't find the right settings if there are any :(

Any help would be appreciated!
[Touch HD General] dazza9075:
ok ill be quick before you involke the wrath of moderators, they will harp on about the search and not to keep making new threads which is fairly justified since it makes a big mess here, but anyhow, since you asked, yee shall find..

psShutXP

that will do the trick for you, works a dream for me wondering around the mountains tracking my routes

hope it helps mate, just better remember the forum search next time hay!
[Touch HD General] Christov:
my bad! I did have a search around but must have missed it, apologies for useless thread! lol

Cheers bud :)
[Touch HD General] marasp:
Try this

also you could use another simple piece of soft ScreenOFF. it does what the title said one touch and screen is off so no accidental touches are made in pocket and no locking done...

[Touch HD General] p3eps:
By using either of these programs... do I need to go into my device's power settings and turn off sleep then?

I'm away to go on a Snowboarding holiday soon, and have a program for tracking my runs etc. I don't want it switching the GPS off and losing my tracks!!
[Touch HD General] Christov:
Hey guys, just to let you all know I've now tried all of these programs and they all stop the GPS from working when theyre run... it's a real shame!

Anyone found anything that works?
[Touch HD General] Farsquidge:
Have been looking for something like this myself but as the GPS is quite a power hogging device, without external power your battery will drain pretty quickly.

Going a different route myself. Ordered a Suunto X10 and will download tracks afterwards.

Was looking at making a clear, waterproof dash mount box with USB power in the bottom. With a hinged (book-like) front you could drop the phone in on power and leave it enabled running GPS. Would also display incoming callers that way.
[Touch HD General] Christov:
neat idea, I was considering making a waterproof case for my motorcycle but that would involve a lot of cost and time. Two things I certainly lack!

Battery seems to be ok for me, I can do a 1.5 hour journey without totally draining the battery. As long as I take my charger with me I can charge at the other end.

I find this problem really bizarre, seems like a bit of a design flaw...
[Touch HD General] Twisel:
What about a tank bag?

I used to use a blueangel (XDAIIs) on my bike...

1. 3 part tank bag from ALDI 16.99 (With clear map bit at the top).

2. Battery to car ciggarette socket 2.50

3. Headphone extension cable Maplins 1.50

Power and in ear headphones for directions, ok looking at the TT itself whilst moving is not good, but thats what traffic lights are for ;)

Since then I crashed my bike, bought a car and upgraded to the Blackstone.
[Touch HD General] gadgetuk437:
install MobileMagic and on the Options tab tick GPS and "GPS while "power off".

Having the GPS running all the time does suck on the battery a bit, but I managed 6 hours on Dartmoor navigating with Memory-Map today (very nice it was too, thank you for asking).
[Touch HD General] Christov:
been trying fiddling with mobilemagic all week, including the settings you suggested... it's not working :( The nice lady turns off as soon as I turn the screen off even if mobilemagic has the "GPS while power off" checkbox checked
[Touch HD General] gadgetuk437:
You are quite right, I hadn't tried it with TomTom.

It isn't a GPS problem tho', it's TomTom!

I tested it out with MemoryMap and a coupla other GPS logging programs, they had no problem with their GPS log when the screen is off. But TomTom suspends whilst the screen is off, even if the phone's GPS is still on.

I don't know how to persuade TomTom to do what you want, but it would prolly be worth asking in the TomTom thread (or at least giving this thread a more appropriate title).

One workaround (albeit a battery draining one) would be to go to Start-Settings-System-Power-Advanced and untick the option, "Turn off device if not used for"

Then lock the screen by holding the Phone Down key.

(I'll just pop out now to check if that works)

EDIT

====

Nop that's no good either... but it's definitely a TomTom issue not a GPS one

(even with the screen just locked instead of off)

[Touch HD General] dazza9075:
Ah, that explains why i can do it, memory map works fine with them, if its just tracking you need i would do as suggested above and force device to stay on but id also make sure to turn the backlight off all together, used to do that with an older device and it will easily last for 9 hours
[Touch HD General] Christov:
cheers for all the help guys! I didn't click it could be a problem with tomtom itself, kind of should have realised at some point!

Gonna try Gyrator 2 tomoro while I'm in the car and can keep an eye on it. If that doesn't work, I might try MemoryMap and see if that works. Quite like tomtoms interface tho!

Will update after I've had a chance to play with the settings.

Once again thanks for all the help!
[Touch HD General] gadgetuk437:
I wouldn't bother!

It's an ace bit of software.... for hiking, not biking!

It does OS maps, and it doesn't do any talking!
[Touch HD General] Christov:
hmm.. might have to avoid that then. Any other GPS 'talky' satnav programs out there you're aware of?
[Touch HD General] Matterhorn:
It really depends which SatNav software you're using. TomTom wants to have the screen active to work. Finally I hooked up a female cigarette lighter plug to my motorcycle battery and plug in my phone using a Cig/USB adapter...no more battery drain!
[Touch HD General] foulke:
I use NoniGpsPlot.

And I have a feature to turn screen off.

I've tested. The GPS continues to plot while the screen is off.
[Touch HD General] Christov:
well it's FINALLY working!

Gyrator2 did the job, if I get it to lock when the stylus is in, the gps and tomtom continues to work with the screen locked.

One drawback to this is that the screen actually freezes so you can't *see* where you're going but of course this is no problem for me as I'm listening and not watching. Pulling the stylus out updates the screen immediately to where you are while running tomtom ofc.

So thanks for all the help guys, so happy to have this handy feature working properly! But yeah, if other people want to do the same perhaps try something else if you want to see where you're going as well as hear!

[G1 Apps and Games] kevev:
Finally, a viable messaging solution for android. The current version of Meebo for the android platform(V6) surpasses the quality of BuddyMob. I(along with others) have confirmed that there are no disconnects while phone is asleep, no forced closing, and no lost incoming messages while phone is asleep. Also, the best part is messages are received almost instantly without using sms. Pure data. I am sooo excited I could cry. Now I can say my G1 is finally a competititor in the pda market. Thank You Meebo!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

You can find meebo in the Android Market.

Also, please post your results here. Maby the developer will see our support and improve the app. ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Interesting. I had a few issues with Meebo that made me switch to BuddyMob instead. I will definitely check the new version of Meebo out.
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Ugh. Unfortunately it still won't remember my ICQ UIN/password between sessions. I really can't be bothered to type that in manually every time I log on. It's a pity, because Meebo does seem to have improved a lot in other areas, like how it's now listing my contacts' nicknames instead of their UIN's.
[G1 Apps and Games] kevev:
after 2 days of use, I noticed the battery life is better with meebo.

mannyb, have you added this comment to the market? The dev might add the feature if he/she sees enough request for it. I noticed my requested features were added.

Also, for the U.K. users who are upset about the builtin IM missing some networks. This is a good free solution. If we get enough ppl supporting the dev this app would ROCK.
[G1 Apps and Games] TimSykes:

[G1 Apps and Games] martijnvdp:

[G1 Apps and Games] kevev:

[G1 Apps and Games] fdorr:
its there a way to get the meebo or build in msn connected in sleep mode via wifi? allways disconect :(
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
But the built in IM client really does suck, IMHO. Hard. I have a couple hundred buddies. (I use it for work and for play..) and have multiple accounts with multiple groups and I find that it takes forever to load, then populate with buddies... plus, the stock apps (as well as most of the other IM clients) insist on showing empty groups. So, I've got 15 empty groups showing...

Meebo combines all buddy lists in one, it's SUPER quick to load, can have more than one of each account signed in plus empty groups are ignored. I'm sold.
[G1 Apps and Games] twieder:
Plus, the built-in IM app uses text-message credits for both inbound and outbound IMs (with the exception of GTalk).

If Meebo would add Facebook chat to the Android client then this would be a no-brainer.

-tw
[G1 Apps and Games] gima2002:
It has support for Facebook chat you just have to first set it up on meebo.com and then once you sign on with your Meebo account on the G1 your Facebook contacts will show up. I have tried it and it works well,.
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
get an account on meebo.com and set up your facebook/aim/yahoo/msn/icq/myspace/etc... accounts. Then, sign in under "Meebo" on the android client and they're all there.

I know.

I know.

It's the ****.
[G1 Apps and Games] derekedw:
Palringo PTT looks to be coming but is not in the alpha release yet (icons there). It's coming along nicely, but far from complete. I love that with Palringo you log in to one Palringo account and bam, all your other accounts come up and log in. Pretty hawt.
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
Meebo does that too. Choose "Meebo" from the drop down list on your phone and any IM networks that you have associated with the Meebo web account auto-log in. I currently have MySpace, Facebook, G-Talk, 2 yahoo accounts, AIM, ICQ and MSN.

(Damn, I sound like I work for the company. (I don't))
[G1 Apps and Games] HayWireG1:
DO any of these apps allow for status updates in aim?
[G1 Apps and Games] SolemnWishing:
There is so far a HUGE issue with Meebo. There is NO status updating. You cannot go "Away" or "Idle" or any of that, nor can you post your own status. To me this is a major drawback that needs addressing. I tried BuddyMob, it didn't really work very well. Ill be waiting on an update for Meebo. (there was actually one today, but did not address the problem at hand.)
[G1 Apps and Games] Gimpeh:
So you can in fact utilize facebook and Myspace messenger within meebo? How does this IM application effect battery life? Is it push messaging or is the application just constantly polling a server?
[G1 Apps and Games] nolageek:
I haven't noticed any major battery draw while using it... I don't always have it on. As for changing statuses, I just don't think that's a big issue for me. It I'm not available for chat, I just turn the thing off. The only issue I have regarding meebo is the notification is always on even after I've logged off, saying I'm still "signed on with x number off accounts."

@gimpeh - yes, sign on via the website and create a meebo account and you can add facebook and myspace as well as yahoo AIM, ICQ, etc... . Then, on the G1, dont sign on to each account (yahoo and aim, etc..) just signon to "Meebo" and you'll signed onto all of your accounts at once.
[G1 Apps and Games] ultimind:
So far, none of the IM clients - online or real apps - can handle being in an environment where they lose signal on a regular basis. My office building has scattered signal inside for T-Mobile, and if I walk to another office, I'm bound to lose signal for atleast 15-20seconds. None of the IM clients can handle this. The builtin GTalk is the best, by far though. It's atleast able to reconnect after losing signal. But I will leave Meebo running and come back 30min later (After walking around the building a little bit) and it will ALWAYS be disconnected.

Is it really that hard for the developers to poll whether there is signal every few minutes and try to reconnect? It seems like the apps that "claim" to do the polling tend to give up after a certain number of minutes.

In my opinion, all IM apps should continue to poll for an active connection until the radio is shut off. I know it would be a battery drain to a certain degree after a while, but I know many people who are in my situation where they lose signal for very short amounts of time several times a day.

I'm trying to send a high-resolution image from outlook in my HD, but it keeps cropping my images. I haven't found how to disable this, can it be done?

And one more question, in many menu-screens, the content is shown compressed togeather in the upper left corner of the display making it very hard to see all the text in the options, is there a solution to this?

(edit: not cropping, reducing quality is the correct description)
[Touch HD General] Cheesy Dave:
Try to zip it first ?
[Touch HD General] DrDistorzion:
yes, ofcaurce I could, but it's just an annoying thing.. I understand why the function has been implemented, but I have unlimited data-transfer so for me it's just a irritating limitation. And even if I didn't have unlimited data-transfer, I still wouldn't want the phone to mess with my pictures, if I wan't to send big ones and pay for it, that sould be my decision.

[Shift General] joetheman:
hey guys, i was thinking of starting this, but i don't have a Shift (as yet) and would like to ask a few questions before i get one, hopeful that some of the guys here (please?) could help answer them :)

My plan is very simple - plug the shift to an external screen, invert (mirror image) that display, and point it at a reflective surface on the windscreen to create a Head Up Display. so - the questions:

1) does the external VGA port work in Windows Mobile mode?

2) does the touchpad move the mouse into the area displayed by the external port in both WM and Vista mode?

3) how long does Vista or XP take to boot up as a clean install

thx for the help in advance :)

[Shift General] matmaneyre:
Just tinkering about with the vga output and I can confirm the following:

1) VGA-out only works on vista side (for now at least, don't know if this could be one of the things that may be possible to port over in the future, certainly not anytime soon)

2) Even if you could get VGA-out from WM side, there is no mouse support/mouse pointer on WM side, although again it is possibe the touchpad could be ported over to WM side and port mouse support from another device with a similar chipset (I believe they do exist with mouse support, mini tracker balls etc)

3) Boot time on clean install for Vista is about 90 seconds I guess, not sure about XP

So what you're suggesting may be possible in the future, but I suspect it would take a lot of work, time and effort, and an excellent knowledge and understanding of dlls, drivers and rom cooking - which I don't have!

Hope I've helped anyway.

hi,

some VIA Epia or Intel ATOM ITX Boards are much cheaper then a Shift for CARPC use. Or there a some other solutions for carpc with integrated amplifier, radio, and standard double DIN rack mount, with intelligent power Management for car voltage.

for standard Windows use: (XP Embedded, or standard XP)

as sample:

the same, but with Windows CE 5 (so you can install TOMTOM and some other windows Mobile realted Software...

but other side, shift is High integrated. for Windows side, centrafuse works very well on htc shift and you can use taht as mediacenter too..
