I reckon u could simulate multitouch for zooming. And here is how i suggest to do it (im not a programmer, so someone come use it (Y)!)

When using a transitional touch screen, a user either presses a button and then releases it (taps it), and then taps another, or drags a stylus across the screen. When a user taps, there is a space of a few milliseconds of no input between the taps, so is recognisable.

When a user drags a stylus, the change in location is continuous (i.e. the point of contact moves to an adjacent sensor), so is recognisable.

If a user were to touch 2 points, the point of contact would appear to move straight to another point (not adjacent) immediately. This would then be recognisable as 2 points of contact, rather than just 2 taps.

This would allow 2 fingered gestures, even if the system wouldn't know the exact location of the 2 points of contact.
[General Topics] freaksey:
try this... here can you see where your phone thinks your finger is.

(to go into "singlepoint mode" draw at least 1 point on your screen and then you can change into it)

just copy to phone and run it
[General Topics] iservealot:
I am not a hardware engineer by any stretch of the imagination, but I feel this is more of a software limitation than anything else.

The fact that windows mobile can take two points of pressure and use the middle of the area as the true touch point, tells me that the hardware is understanding both touch points.

I believe the issue lies in Windows for not understanding two inputs at the same time. This is the same case with Windows PC's, as multi-touch is not possible on Vista or XP, but instead is being developed specifically for Window 7. Same thing with Windows Mobile, multi-touch is being developed (on a software level) only with WM 7.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the Android powered HTC phone has similar touch screen hardware as most current HTC devices, but a developer was able to (with some changes to the OS) allow for true multi touch recognition.
[General Topics] Marshall07:
You are right, viridescent_zeal.

But I already tried what you are saying and if you press 2 point "at the same time" the hardware will immediatly get the point in the middle. It will not move immediatly but it will immediatly result as the point in the middle.

I'm afraid that it is an hardware limitation. If you want to realize the behaviour you are talking about, you have to press the two points with a little delay. This will cause the immediate movement and you can make a software believe you have touched two points in the screen.

here's two artciles from the last 24 hours showing multitouch in action:

http://www.fuzemobility.com/multitouch-exists-now-without-new-hardware-or-software/

http://www.fuzemobility.com/multitouch-in-action/

it can be implemented for games in a butchered form...it's not real multitouch but virtual key presses can work for games.
[General Topics] viridescent_zeal:
Very true. Still, be able to do that is better than nothing- if done right it could simulate multi-touch gestures providing we put 1 finger down first!

Does Anybody know how to change the TempFileLocation to SD-Card?

I found an Registry string, but if i change it eg. to 2 than the Youtube Player hang while loading the Video

"HKLM/Software/HTC/YouTube/TempFileLocation with a value of 1

Also the downloaded Temp.3gp from Youtube can not be played with any Player, also VLC on my Computer says that he can not play the file.

Is there Anyway to download thwe Videos with the HTC Youtube Player, like on the Iphone (eg. MxTube)? I tried several Registry stings but no one work.

I only found out that the EnableSW improves the Video quality very, but while on loading the file it is a little bit frameskipping.

Thanks for helpful answers.

About the "TEMP.3gp" file

I ran TrID on the file and it gave this:

hmmmm!!:confused: seems irelevent:mad: any Ideas??

by the way did you try to set the registry key to "0" ??!!
[Touch HD General] hosamn:
Guess I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scaning the file in hex editor for media headers brought this up

"....ftypmp42....isomavc1mp4"

:cool::cool:YES!! :cool::cool:

It IS mp4

The hex address was

0x318

then I just cut from there up ie:

From the top of the file

0x0

To

0x317

The Header Must Be Like this

00000000h: 00 00 00 1C 66 74 79 70 6D 70 34 32 ; ....ftypmp42

And also renaming the file to something.mp4

wheeeww......now it works..!!!!

seems google was adding some sort of additional herder!:rolleyes:

If you don't know hex editing don't bother it aint that important is it?:):):)

PS:Your file might be something else (not mp4) then the header will have to

change but I guess the additional header is the same length:confused:!?

correct me if I'm wrong!

Hey, i have another question. I am left handed so it's quite annoying for me sometimes to scroll down pages because the scrollbar is at the right side of the screen.

Is there anyway to move the vertical scrollbar to the left side of the screen...?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Not to sure about this, though you can modify size etc of these scroll bars using Advanced config. But I doubt this helps.
[Touch HD General] CannonballOx:
Increasing the size isn't really working for me as i still have to move my hand over the screen. But i don't think this is possible yet, cause i can't find anything about this :(

I'm having some problems with Outlook that I can't seem to resolve.

I everything works surprisingly well to be from Microsoft, but whenever I read a message or download a message, Outlook it totally oblivious to everything about messages marked as read or mark them as read.

Shortly, if I open an unread message with Outlook, it's still marked as unread on the server (I've done the send/receive thingy) and if the message is marked as read on the server, it's still marked as unread when downloaded to my Hermes. Any clues? Doesn't Outlook support this?

Hey Ive seen issues with people having trouble with the distribution of LEDs on the keyboard with not seeing keys and others to bright and thats not me haha. I was wondering though if anybody knew a registry hack or something that would let the backlight on the keyboard stay on longer than 5 seconds? That is the biggest annoyance of this phone that ive seen so far.
[Touch Pro CDMA] VikingMike:
Do a search for a utility called Advanced Config, it has a setting to change the backlight timeout, among a lot of other things. You'll need to have the ARM4i version of ppc .NET 3.5 installed also.

BEWARE: Use the tool at your own risk. Don't turn menu animations and start menu animations on, as it has caused my start menu to go really wonky (all the colors are jumbled and its impossible to read) Turning this off made it behave as expected. Just a warning :)

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Pheo:
Hi All,

I'm coming to the end of my contract and am looking at going sim only. My Touch D is currently locked to T-Mobile. I'm wondering what the best thing to do is to move to o2 Simplicity - will just a CID unlock allow me to use all the phone's functionality, such as internet browsing, email etc?

What are the advantages to following through with the full security unlocking process as described here? It seems quite complex - how hard is it to do really, and how likely is it to permanently muck up my phone? I'm not a technical novice by any means, but I've not unlocked an HTC phone before...

Thanks all for your help!

I got to the step in bold. I let it finish and it said press the Action button to continue. I assume the action button is when you click in the trackball, so i clicked it, then i was taken to a screen that had red, green, and blue gradients, as well as a white panel with some yellow text in the red gradient and the text "SERIAL0" in the green gradient.

I wonder if someone could possible help me with this small problem.

When watching movies that have been ripped from dvd by spb dvd and watched fullscreen using coreplayer, the sound only comes through the left earphone. The quality of picture and the sound is great, however this problem is holding the experiance back.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

[Touch HD General] Philhellene:
i assume you have checked to make sure the movies were ripped with stereo rather than mono sound? (For me it was a headphone that happened to fail at the same time I started playing a movie but I guess you will have tried it without headphones).

thanks for your reply. Yes sound seems to work fine without headphones. How would i check if it was ripped mono or not? spb dvd does not appear to give me the option of changing sound?

I got it to a point where it workied, but for some reason it lost all my contacts and email settings.

Well I said screw it, ill just hard reset and start from scratch, after a soft reset, it hung on the "Touch Pro" screen withthe red text at the bottom, then just sits there.

If I hard boot it does the same thing.

any ideas?

go into bootloader and then flash a new ROM there.

i had to hard reset my htc touch pro as well because i unistalled a program and it wiped out like half the stock programs. this is what i did....

1). make sure you back everything up that you have on your phone.

2). shut off your phone

3). hold the volume down button and the enter button at the same time. (enter button is the big cirle center button)

4). while holding those two buttons in, press and hold the power button on the top until the popup appears on the screen. then just follow the steps and your phone should be like brand new again!!

[XPERIA X1 General] foxcheng:
I read many thread complained about the X1 has been underclocked at 400Mhz, so the video playback still can have the improvement in future, when it's cpu runs at 528Mhz..

Today i installed tcpmp 0.72 recomp-3(multi-video player) and then went to option page, as the screenshot below, it showed 528Mhz. It changed to 530Mhz before i capture it:)

My thought :

1) X1 already at 528Mhz, but the playback still laggy on coreplayer 1.30 and very much laggier on other video player~~ the video is 480 x 360, 30fps, 44k aac and *.mp4. only get 10-16fps with acceptable audio playback.

2) X1's cpu and gpu and ram are good quality one from data sheet on internet, but the actual performance really let me down... tell me how to overclock?! i realize that cpu speed directly affect the video decode.

I only left a hope on developer's software coding to improve X1's cpu performance :( and please leave your thoughts and ideas*

[XPERIA X1 General] Dandie:
Are you actually aware of what you demand here? AVC is extremely CPU demanding and you just have a small handheld device. The performance in my point of view is almost awesome. Even my laptop with 1.6 GHZ Pentium M has trouble playing high quality AVC files and you can't directly compare the Desktop MHz to the MHz of the X1 ARM processor.

The only way to improve performance is to use the graphic acceleration on chip, which is actually used by the media panel and Windows Media Player. Try if it works better.

Maybe one day there will be a CorePlayer release with real graphics hardware acceleration support.

I find these results already quite outstanding and I think the X1 is a really powerful device.
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
Powerpoint also uses hardware acceleration, same as Media player, the first few seconds of Media player and Powerpoint, are choppy becuase the X1 ramps up from 400 mhz to headline 528mhz. Microsoft has included hardware acceleration for software that it is responsible for, applications that need it, it is third party applications that are failing to make full use of the extra processing power.

Whether Microsoft has made hardware acceleration accesible to third party software engineers is another matter.

If there is a registry trigger to initiate the ramping up from 400 mhz to 528 mhz, then im sure we would all like to know this, so we can make use of it. Graphically intense Programs like S2V would benefit from this greatly.

It is my suspicion that the 128mb RAM put aside for the graphics chip, only becomes active and avliable when the processor is triggered to run at 528mhz.

As far as Powerpoint is concerned im impressed how fast the X1 can render complicated detailed scenes, if you have run some of the examples on the Screen Candy thread, you can run them on your PC and on your X1, virtually at the same speed and quality.

If and when someone find the registry trigger for ramping up, that will be a day of days for the X1, the day the the X1 becomes liberated for third party designers to realy utilise the power that lies dormant under the hood, when running none Microsoft applications.
