[Touch HD General] Slickline:
Hi,

I've got a Touch HD with Tomtom 7, unfortunately the refresh rate (30-40m lag) is shocking (5secs). My ROM is the stock on and I bought my touch HD at the start of the year.

Tom tom 6 on my brother's touch HD (with a new ROM) has refresh rate of at least 3 times a second and it is quite precise.

What would be the problem the ROM or the software itself?

Also what is the latest version of the ROM? If I upgrade I need to backup the tomtom7 maps and files. Will tom tom 7 work if I copy it to my computer / storage card then copy back to internal memory?

Lastly I can't find the Tom Tom files on the phone - not in prgram files, only found the maps - which is on the storage card...

Thanks for your help :)
[Touch HD General] funk1980:
The so called tomtom GPS lag has been discussed to death on this forum, so I suggest you use the search function...

The actual tomtom software is located on the device in program files\navigator. But if you need to reinstall, it's best to do it with the org install files. If you just copy the navigator map back to your device, you'll miss the system files and registry entries.

:mad:Hello,

I have tried and followed all the advice on XDA forums about getting IE to load full desktop versions of websites but i have not had any success.

i have tried tweaking the registry, using the advised UA's but it still doesnt make a difference.

Can anyone suggest a method to resolve this issue?

Thanks

Neil

Use Opera or Skyfire.
[Advantage X7510 General] Cheeze[iT]:
I am going to appologize in advance if this has been covered or a noob question, but I was wondering if I am able to connect this with another phone via bluetooth as possibly use that phone as a modem to let the 7510 get online? Reason being is this 7510 doesn't have T-Mobile 3G and I would be trying to use 3G off my other phone. I know this is possible on my laptop so the question has no arrisen since I am debating on either getting this 7510 or the Shift. I notcied that the shift uses Vista/Xp so I figured what ever my laptop could do as far as connections, I would be able to do with that as well.

If anyone could shed some info on the topic, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
[Advantage X7510 General] NeilM:
I'm sure this is possible- a lot of older PDAs used Bluetooth to connect to a mobile phone, and use the GPRS connection. Most 3G phones have a connection setup for BT Modem.

It would be pretty slow though- even if BT2 is supported on both devices you are unlikely to get anywhere near 3G speeds.

Does the Shift have the US T-Mobile 3G capability? If so it would be an easier setup!
[Advantage X7510 General] Cheeze[iT]:
Ya, no the shift doesn't have T-Mobile bands thats why I wanted to tether. I just wanted a small device to do emails/web/GPS/Music seperately. I'm thinking either the 7500 or so or a internet Tablet Device.
[Advantage X7510 General] NeilM:
The 7500/7510 could do this, but forget about streaming music over a Bluetooth phone pairing. Locally stored music would be fine though though the wired headset or over Bluetooth A2DP.

But, if all you really want is a small devcie for those needs, why not opt for a smaller Windows Mobile device that does support the T-Mo 3G band?
[Advantage X7510 General] Cheeze[iT]:
There isn't a T-Mobile device that runs on 3G for the T-Zones data plan. Hence why I am actually using the Sony Ericcson TM506 for the data and trying to figure out with device I want more, which I am leaning more towards the Advantage than the N810 since its Windows Mobile and more customizible.
[Advantage X7510 General] NeilM:
Ah- OK. Just seen that T-Mo use 1700 band for upload and 2100 for download, and no WM devices support that combo :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] stephencwl:
Question:

Is there a way to reduce the key holding time to type the "shifted" characters in the keyboard? (e.g. to type "!" by holding the key of "a").

The time set in FingerKeyboard2 is perfect and reasonable. The holding time required in the original HTC softkeyboard (the new topaz as well) is way too long and slow down text input.

I tried searching the registry and no clues can be found.

[G1 General] Glen L:
Hi does the GPS need a data plan to activate?

I can only seem to browse maps w/ GPS when im connected via Wifi or data plan is on.
[G1 General] axion68:
The GPS does not need a data plan, however the maps application does. It pulls map data live over the internet.

I would like to see standalone gps nav software come out for android (garmin xt port?)
[G1 General] Glen L:
Oh. thanks for the information.

is there a standalone gps nav software available already? Im guessing it wont be free if such thing exists?
[G1 General] Zinx Verituse:
Even if you get off-line GPS software, the GPS driver only tries to sync the almanac data required to get your position when you're actively using the GPS - and it may take up to 12.5 minutes to sync it... So you may be sitting around with the GPS on for 12.5 minutes before you can use it.

Normally it syncs this over the data connection immediately.
[G1 Android Development] dan.raaka:
How can I build an android.jar from the source ?

There has been threads like ..

None of these seem to produce android.jar .. I could get an system.img but that doesn't help me create a custom SDK !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davidwhitney:
New application release: Mobile TFL - London Underground tube status application for Windows Mobile

"annoyed that the G1 and iPhone have an app that does this". I coded this application this evening that reports real time service status data for the London tube network.

It uses the publicly available data from the "Transport for London" website.

Regardless, it allows you to see service updates and station closures / delays in real-time from a tiny Windows Mobile app.

Requires CF 2.0+ (though I've compiled it with 3.5 installed and not bothered to check for backwards compatibility).

Feedback is more than welcome. I've only really tested it in the terrible low res VMs and on a Touch Diamond so as far as the display and scaling goes, your milage may vary. Looks lovely on the Diamond though.

Cab installer and screenshots on very low-fi http://www.davidwhitney.co.uk/software/ holding page.

Latest Version 1.2.0.0

Apologies for the rapid releases, but hopefully the app should be good "long term" as of this release.

There will be one further release in the near future consisting solely of cosmetic changes.

1.0.0.8

--------

+Improved load speeds

+Weekend Timetables are now selectable

+The title bar now displays the time period you're currently viewing

+DLR listings / status

1.0.0.4

---------

+Improved support for devices of different resolutions

+Font and UI Element scaling

+Tube line colours
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davidwhitney:
Made a subtle update to 1.0.0.1 to remove a crashing bug because my test cases sucked (I developed the app when there were tube errors, the absence of which caused some rookie Xml parsing bugs.)

Same url.

There's also a known issue with station statuses (i.e. they only partially work, don't bet your travel plans on them) but I'll fix that up later today.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davidwhitney:
Final update for the foreseeable future (unless any crippling bugs are found).

Full tube status, full station notifications, both in real time and planned.

Very much inspired by http://mbarclay.net/?p=64 so credit where due.

Version 1.0.0.3 can be downloaded from

http://www.davidwhitney.co.uk/software/

My lunch hour was lovingly sacrificed to finish this code.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radatia:
Great app, thanks!

Just a minor issue on my X1 - despite this having longer vertical real estate, scroll bars are required to see all the tube lines.

The bottom quarter of the screen is not used, and I need to scroll to see beyond the Piccadilly Line - despite the 640 pixels of the Diamond being enough for all the lines in your screenshots. I think the spacing between the lines looks wider on the X1 - not sure why?

Also, could you add colours to the tube lines so it looks more like the widget on the TFL website?

Still, even in its current form this is great and very usable. Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davidwhitney:
I think I know why there might be scaling issues.

Due to the lack of any decent tabular layout in the CF at first glance I'm calculating heights manually.

I have a sneaking suspicion that I use the device height to calculate the height of each item, and I suspect I'm then sticking the items in a box the size of the diamond resolution ;)

I'll see if I can squeeze in a fix in the next day or two, work permitting.

Thanks for the kind comments + constructive criticism!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radatia:
Thanks David - look forward to the update.

I think this is the sort of webapp / widget that there seems to be plenty of on the iphone but are lacking on Windows Mobile......for absolutely no reason. Much better to fire up your app than wait for Opera to start and then go the TFL website and download all the unnecessary info as well as the tube status.

Even if one prefers the visuals on a website, these are far better included on device in a webapp, with the internet connection just downloading the raw information. I vote for more simple apps of this nature.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davidwhitney:
I found a few minutes to try and patch up the application.

1.0.0.4 contains improved rendering that should (at least in theory) support devices of varying dimensions (font / UI element scaling). Hopefully this doesn't entirely trash the interface on other devices, but I've tested it both in varying VMs, on a Diamond and in Windows at different (and often hilarious) resolutions.

Also added coloured glyphs representing the TfL colours for the various tube lines.

Updates posted on http://www.davidwhitney.co.uk/software/ and images above updated.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Canaan:
David, thanks a lot for sharing this app with us. Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] custardo01:
Works and looks great on a Touch HD. Nice UI, simple and effective. Unfortunately at £6.30 a ride I only use the tube when I am absolutely desperate these days. Do you think you may extend to Overground and Bus information as well? May widen the audience a bit?

Thank you for sharing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davidwhitney:
Excellent, I'm really glad the new scaling code works. Quite a relief.

As for further TFL services, to be honest I'm not sure yet. It all depends on how the data could be presented.

Historically laying out things like bus timetables in a usable and intuitive way is very difficult (just look at bus stops for an obvious example). In addition to that there's tonnes and tonnes of data. I guess it could be presented using a searchable interface or by putting in favorite routes or trains to monitor.

I'm very much open to suggestions and if it feels right I'll probably produce an "enhanced" version of the app with the additional timetable and route data. I'd probably maintain the two separately to keep the tube status app small and sweet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radatia:
Nice work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ecmaba64:
Does not really work for me! I get 404's!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davidwhitney:
There are a few reasons you'll get 404s.

The first is if the Transport for London website is down (which it isn't currently) as the data is parsed from there (http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/tube/default.html specifically- see if you can access it on your device using a browser).

The second is a badly configured or misconfigured proxy in windows mobile (in your connection settings. I always find it prudent to disable the mobile provider proxies as they tend to interfere with applications).

The third is that your data connection isn't opening when requested.

A theoretical fourth reason would be some kind of firewall.

Hope some of those pointers help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ecmaba64:
Yep, found out why... Phone was connected on Activesync over bluetooth :) (had left it on). It works now. I am a muppet :S
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davidwhitney:
Not a problem, glad it works for you :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] custardo01:
I see what you mean having just looked at the bus information which is quite extensive and always will be I guess. Keeping things simple maybe colour codes minor, major, severe may be better than nothing. I imagine that would not be so easy to transform from the info being parsed though. Overground does not look so extensive, today anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazyC:
Excellent idea and app.

Just a couple of points/questions:

1. Might be useful to have a 'last updated' line? maybe just as a page accessible via the menu if the screen estate is not available.

2. When I run it I get the spinning wheel for about 11 seconds whilst loading - should it take that long? Would cooking it in reduce this?

I am using this on a Raphael with a custom 21028 ROM.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davidwhitney:
1. Might be useful to have a 'last updated' line? maybe just as a page accessible via the menu if the screen estate is not available.

- I've been thinking this myself. It was just something that slipped my mind first time around. It'd also make it easier to distinguish whether you're looking at current or planned service statuses. I've just noticed that the TfL website also offers a list of planned incidents for "next weekend" so I'll incorporate that in the next release.

2. When I run it I get the spinning wheel for about 11 seconds whilst loading - should it take that long? Would cooking it in reduce this?

- This has plagued me somewhat. Part of it is the framework start-up time (which is subtle but measurable) and part of it is the fact that I do the first service update in the constructor of the application.

If you don't have an active data connection the app will have to establish a connection before it'll paint to the screen causing the unusually long load time.

This effectively means that the app doesn't perform it's first render until the first Http request has completed. It's a bit of a silly design decision but added the first fetch to the forms "Loaded" event seemed to perform identically. I guess I could try force a redraw first...

As some anecdotal evidence, with a data connection active on my Diamond it takes 4 seconds to load the app.

There are a few work-arounds I've investigated but none of them seem to offer significant speed advantages.

Offhand I don't remember the CPU speed of the Raphael, but perhaps that's a factor?

I'll continue to look into it as I add extra features, and hopefully I'll be able to shave off a few seconds for these edge cases.

[edit]

I've just noticed that my recent installers have accidently included a few of the compact framework assemblies. You might find that going into the install directory (ProgramFiles/MobileTFL ususally) and removing everything that isn't MobileTFL.exe and MobileTFL.ico will both save about 200k of space and improve performance if you have the compact framework cooked into your rom. As far as I'm aware I shouldn't have to include these framework assemblies so I'll produce a smaller installer later (~44k rather than ~250).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] custardo01:
I just noticed a problem with scaling when capitals are being used on Touch HD.

A nice touch would be if you touch the page with your thumb/stylus it takes you to the Line status page and vice versa.

Help, I've got an unlocked UK orange Diamondand have just arrived Dulles and cannot connect to any service providers.

Should I have told Orange I was going to USA? or do i have another problem?

Can't contact orange till tomorrow and only by email:(

All help welcome

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mgs333:
i know t-mobile doesn't allow international roaming unless you activate it, so orange may be similar, meaning if you didn't ask for it, you are not allowed to roam internationally.

since it's unlocked, you could buy t-mobile/at&t prepaid cards and use that but unless it's an emergency i'd wait to talk to orange. although the prepaid will likely be cheaper than the roaming rates.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Bixx:
Thanx for the reply, it seems that Orange UK need to activate roaming on pay monthly but not pay as you go??

Anyway, soon as I can get near a phone I will get it activated.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Bixx:
Update

spoke to the wife via msn, and she rang orange.

They told her that it needed activating prior to leaving UK.

I can understand that as I cannot recieve any text messages that option is closed, however, i have emailed orange requesting the info by email so that I can manually apply the required settings.

Is that feasable?

Hi,

I've flashed it and v2.04 appears in booting screen. ROM looks like official and I'm testing it.

My first impressions about this ROM are:

- No many differences comparing to 2.03.

- Maybe some application updated.

- Include some new applications (aGPS, Bluestreak, Orange navigator, MusicWave, PVPlayer, etc.).

- The Analog clock (by default) is nice ;-)

- SYS/XIP 20764.1.4.3

- Nice Orange theme.

Yeah what a bummer. I cook up a great ROM and now no CABs will install! The WCELOAD.EXE is in its correct place and the likes but the Customize program will not install its appropriate CABs so I don't have my VZW carrier cab, my device won't connect to the internet (besides IE. The default "The Internet" connection is absent.), and I can't change the WM theme (a minor issue but I know it must have something to do with the malfunctioning system).

This ROM was cooked in ERice's kitchen which usually spits out extremely nice cooked ROMs so I'm assuming this isn't a problem with his kitchen. I don't want to have to reflash but that may be the only option. If there's an EXE that my device is missing, please post.
