To change the icon of the .lnk file.

Useful if you have several mail .lnks and would like to differentiate between, for example, Google and Hotmail. Or if you want to assign icons to .lnks for Mortscripts etc.

Icon sources can be .DLLs or .EXEs,

not

picture files, such as .PNGs. View the icons within these files using RViewer.

Change the file extension of the .lnk file to .txt, open it, you will see the address for the program, or what ever it is that you have linked to eg "program files\my program.exe" you need to append a "?" followed by the address of the icon you want to use, then ",-" then the number of the icon within the icon file you are using, the default icon is "000".

You will end up with "program files\my program.exe",?example.exe,-000

Hi

I updated to the latest Jf RC9 release from Jf RC8 hoping it would correct the problem with the voice dialler using the US number format and having useless recognition but no joy.

My locale is set correctly but I can't find anywhere to set the voice dialler to be UK!

Do I have to train this application for my voice or does it function like my Nokia N95 8GB which just does it with no training?

Any help/pointers would be greatly apppreciated.

Apologies if this is a dumb post and the answer is obvious but I've trawled through the posts here with no success.

Thanks

Hi All,

I have tried searching for MP4 and AVI in the forums, but search results came up with nada.

Can someone please assist me with the BEST movie player for the Touch HD and how to encode the files?

I am currently using Slysoft CloneDVD Mobile. I selected Windows Smartphone as my encoding template, loaded the DVD, and built the AVI file. All went good.

I then copied it across to my Touch HD and tried to play it in WMP but get an error "Cannot play file" without any further details.

Any ideas people?

TIA
[Touch HD General] Lx:
Sounds like a missing codec problem to me. i had the same with playing xvid movies. i use tcpmp player now instead of wmp, but am looking for a nicer prog.
[Touch HD General] Farsquidge:
I find Coreplayer to be the best using the DivX converter set to Mobile for compressing. It will compress most files and even convert AC3 files for use.

The playback is smooth whereas the actual DivX mobile and old TCPMP players seem to have a 1 second slight glich in playback (shown when a video is panning across a scene).

I have also found that if you use a File Explorer with Network access such as Resco Explorer, you can set the default player to be Coreplayer and play these files from any Network drive. I use an ASUS WLHDD2.5 small wireless hard drive with 100Gb capacity and can store loads of Music, movies and photos on it.

Ensure that Coreplayer can actually play the file type first or an error will occur.

Map your Network drive in Resco Explorer (follow the distructions..)

Select and hold the file to play in Resco, select open, Open with and then select Coreplayer.

Viola. :)
[Touch HD General] crashDebug:
you might want to try the blackstone video encoding gui (search on this forum) to convert movies to mp4 and then play them via windows media player or tf3d video player. To date, those two players are the only ones capable of playing video using hardware acceleration

No acceleration though, so you have to encode to much lower quality.

Sorry, but main problem is that CorePlayer will not play movies with AC3 sound (5.1). A lot of new movies have 5.1 sound.

And do you have 5 ears with 5 headphones?

What is the point for having 5.1 on a mobile device, it's not like you can output to TV anyways.
[Touch HD General] 7floor:
The point is to watch existing movies with AC3 soundtracks without spending hours to reconvert them first.
[Touch HD General] Lx:
hi all,

My rear speaker keeps playing while my headphone are plugged in. The headphones work fine, but the speaker doesn't mute. It's only the rear speaker, not the front although it's way less loud than with earphones unplugged. still much too loud to listen to music in the train or subway...

using Dutty's extreme 2.0

any help is greatly appriciated!!
[Touch HD General] geronimocommie:
Better there than here.

ask dutty his is the one taking care of his good stuff
[Touch HD General] Lx:
Fixed!

actually I fixed it.

I desided I wanted to use Dutty's xtreme 2.1 ROM anyways and after flashing that, the problem is over, the rear speakers shuts off when inserting headphones like it should.

Was probably just a fluke, dunno if it was WM6.1, some install or the 2.0 ROM, could have been anything.

Now working fine, so I'm a glad little kid again!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] 150d:
Hi,

I updated my Kaiser using the official T-Mobile upgrade (German) to WM 6.1. Since then, my GPS is very slow to aquire a first fix. When it's up and running, performance is fine, but time-to-first-fix is three to five minutes, sometimes longer.

This even happens when I exit the GPS program, wait a while, then start it again - TTFF will again be more than three minutes.

QuickGPS is running and reporting its data as current. However, the GPS still appears to "cold start" every time, not even remembering its own previous data. With the previous WM 6.0 startup times were fine while clearly dependand on the actuality of QuickGPS data.

Has anybody else observed this behaviour, and is there a tweak to cure it?

Regs,

150d
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
Just have a quick search for WM6.1 and GPS. Early 6.1 ROMs had very poor GPS performance, there's a huge thread about it. Maybe your T-Mob ROM is one of them. The ultimate solution is switching to a ROM based on a newer build, custom ROMs are all fine by now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] 150d:
Did you try that? Just enter anything plus "6.1" and there will be zero results. On the other hand, enter "T-Mobile upgrade GPS" and there will be about 300 pages of results, few of which will even contain the word "T-Mobile".

Either the search function doesn't work or it just doesn't like me.

Could you give me a pointer, please?

Problem is that I don't want to use a non-official ROM just yet. Additionally, I'm not that keen on doing the installing bit all over again just yet, so I was hoping there was a simpler solution. ;-)

Regs,

OK then, open wide for the train going into the tunnel: [Spoon Feeding Mode]*Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 Update?[/Spoon Feeding Mode]

There is.... leave it on Windows Mobile 6.0:eek: Even the very latest HTC Official TyTN II ROMs for the European and Asian markets have hopeless GPS here in the UK when compared to the one in my sig. I've not tried any custom or operator provided ROMs so cant comment there. I think the first step should be complaining to T-Mobile that their their latest and greatest ROM upgrade actually broke your GPS and asking them for a solution (if you don't have the original ROM/ability to revert it yourself). If they claim to not know anything about this issue, you can tell them how you found out that it's a common problem.
[Touch HD General] Beards:
Guys,

My apologies if this has been covered before.... Only I've had a really bad day in Theatre (I lost a loving, warm and friendly aged Lady earlier) and all I want to do now is pack up for today and go home.

So.... I have a few custom sounds in .wma format that I've placed into Windows/Rings and would like to use these for my Text Messages, Email Alerts etc.

Trouble is the Sounds & Notifications list does not show these in the drop down list of available sounds.

If I select Phone they do show but any of the others and they are not displayed.

Therefore, the question being ~ Is there any way to have these custom sounds displayed and readily available for my Phone?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch HD General] Farsquidge:
Ringtones need to be be in the Rings folder.

Don't know why but anything else needs to be in the Windows folder to appear.

Here is one from Python Holy Grail that I find good.

:)
[Touch HD General] Beards:
That is quite strange...... All my Ringtones are located in Windows/Rings.

I don't have a folder named Rings in the root.

Thanks for the Monty Python... appreciated.
[Touch HD General] Farsquidge:
Apologies, let me clarify.

Ringtones in Windows\Rings

All others Windows\

Hope thats clearer.
[Touch HD General] gadgetuk437:
My Sounds and Notifications show all the wav files in the windows directory, plus any wav/mp3/wma in My Documents (device or storage card).

[Touch HD General] Beards:
Yes thanks... Got it now.

I've moved them into the Windows folder and they now work.

It's quite confusing when we mention ring tones and basically the ones I will be using are a ring tone.

But now I can see what you mean.... The default ring tones are in the Windows/Rings.

All other ring tones are in the Windows main folder.

Thanks. :)

Cheers for the contribution..... Didn't appreciate you could use .mp3 as well.

Thanks. :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] simpsoa:
Hi all, I'm wanting to know if anyone else seems to be experiencing an issue where during a call the signal icon will change from H to G and the quality of reception / voice also drops to what resembles a non-3G phone.

This seems to happen quite often regardless if the call is inbound or outbound. I can be sitting at my desk and have what appears to be full reception with the H icon, then 2-3 minutes into a call (still sitting at my desk) the icon will change to G and from the quality degradation it must be reducing to 2G... why is this? I could understand if I was walking around but it happens regardless and will never go back up to H during a call only once the call has ended... is this a limitation of the cell network/carrier?

I'm using Dutty's v4, radio 1.09.25.23, Olinex 1.93 hardspl. Network carrier is Optus and I'm located right in the middle of the city - Melbourne, Australia.

I'm wanting to try some of the newer Raphel radios but need to get Security Unlocked first - already PM'd Olipro... just waitin :)

Any comments ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cornwall:
Hi,

Same problem to me... downtown of the fifth biggest city in France...

Don't worry if I may say so: the phone is the problem. it has crappy reception, probably the crappiest of all time... I have tried any possible Radio ROM available, none of them changed a signle thing...

Worst HTC phone ever made for reception... All my friends with way cheaper phones have at least four to five bars when they are at my place, I don't get that... but all my other phones do.

Eve worse: the phone totally disconnects from network when I have one or two bars of H or 3G... I receive NO phone call, no SMS and I am notified two days later (30 voice msgs, fifty SMS... all sent two days ago). I even had issues at work becaus eof all this, people complained they couldn't reach me for hours and days...

I now have to set it back to G alone (switch off H or 3G that I want to use all the time...), which is a shame for such an advanced device...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vale|46:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're not supposed to get a H during calls, maybe for video calls, I'm not sure. But for regular 3G calls, you shouldn't get a H, H should only appear when there is data transfer, like when using Internet for example.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] simpsoa:
I'm not really qualified to comment except from my own experience... My phone always has the H symbol, when there is no data activity then the H symble is faded/semi transparent and becomes solid as soon as I make a call or transfer data (eg. updating weather) and I never have the 3G icon - always H or G. I belive this may be related to the operator and the frequencies they use for both HSDxA and 2G modes.

Probably for about 80% of my calls I'll keep the H symbol, but when it drops to G it's really annoying as the quality turns to sh*t
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pixelvandal:
My phone never seems to be able to hold a signal.

I'm on the 3 network in Australia & my phone doesn't stick to the network. If I choose options under the phone and press 'find network' a couple of times it will lock on, but then minutes later I get the 'searching for network'. Over & over again.

My phone is unlocked using the Olinex method, my radio is current & I can't even recieve incoming calls or texts...outgoing is fine (when I've got network0 & I can use browse the internet & use GPS etc...just nothing incoming...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] itoYo:
i have a theory on this its called " crap design"! i thinks its because the internal antenna is towards the bottom of the device so when you hold it you are covering the antenna.

try holding the phone with just two fingers trying not to cover the back (below the battery ) this works for me! i only say this out of observation
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GreenTurbo:
Could just be the way the network is configured for HSDPA. Voice traffic can be pushed on to 3G (or release 99 as it is sometimes called) to reduce the loading on the HSPDA carrier / layer.

See it as a good thing :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Stinkeymole:
Most handsets I have owned usually drop from HSDPA or 3G or GPRS during a voice call, probably just a design feature to save battery life. Should latch back on after call though. I have to say though, I had the MDA compact IV and the reception is positively shocking! dropping signal is soon as I picked it up and i'm in a good signal area! On its way back to T-MO as I speak as this wasn't the only issue. Shame, great form factor as well.:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] beaker656:
Symbols on your phone are just that symbolic, they don't always mean what you think they mean.

If a UE is on your desk in idle mode and it looks like you have a great signal and a H displayed, great. It means that it is measuring the quality of the network and you have the ABILITY to hold a HS data session should you want. The reception barrs on most 3g UE's aren't a measure of the radio reception but of the amount of noise. More bars less noise, less bars noisey environment.

If you make a voice call, there is no way any decent network would use HS to carry your call as it is wasting resource somebody else could use and of course pay for. Once in a call the UE has to monitor many things and also maintain that call or data session. In simplistic terms if the conditions do not allow the call to be carried over 3G it will step down to 2G. If it was a data session it could go from HSDPA to 3G, then 3G to GPRS.

Also a network could easily by the swap of a 1 or a 0 carry your voice call over 2G without you knowing at all, freeing up that 3G network that cost billions to roll out and pay licence fees for, for data which they can charge more for.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vale|46:
I think they made a mistake in the International English manual where it says the antenna is located at the bottom. Either that or it's different for different regional phones. If you download the HTC Touch Diamond_Asia_English_Manual_Manual_080521.pdf or HTC_Diamond_User_Manual_Asia_WWE.pdf from HTC's site, it shows the antenna being at the top next to the camera.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DeadGuy:
it's not the phone its the operator fault i have the same prob even with nokia's...if the person on the other part of the line is on gsm the operator will switch u on gsm network...they do this because they don't wont to use often the 3g network
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] beaker656:
The operators do not do this. Do they switch you to a land line when you call a land line, no. It is all down to radio quality where you are making the call and not what number or type of line you are calling. The phone networks are not that intelligent
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vale|46:
Actually, they are, they know what types of numbers you're calling. This is why even for long distance prices, there is a different between calling a land line and a cellphone number. Either way, the system can tell what type of line you're connected to.

is there an sms app that uses voice as the input method? you just have to speak out loud, the phone will pick it up, and will be transcribed into text into the sms app. something like a cross between voice (input method) and text (sending method) messaging.

Due to the nature of my setup (asterisk box behind my firewall) i need to specify a port range (10 000 – 20 000) for my tytnii phone to successfully connect remotely to my asterisk box.

Does the new FW improve the quality of sound when recording video?

As I posted long time ago and never get any solution - the sound of the video is always strangely deformed,

WHILE when recording a sound note - it's fine!!!

Is it dependend on any setting OR the fact of storing video on memory card directly?
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
I actually never had this problem. What ROM are you using? I don't think it's caused by storing it on the storage card.. I mean, how the hell would that alter sound quality? :p

Try messing about with the settings a bit and also check what apps you installed, perhaps some codec got messed up a bit?
[XPERIA X1 General] WhyBe:
Haven't tested it, but, I would imagine that the bitrate used when recording video (128 kbps ?) is far inferior to the bitrate used while just recording audio only (>1000 kbps ?). Bitrate alone makes a big difference in sound quality.
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
Hmm

I havn't used it on older ROMs but hae taken quite a few vids of a robot I have been building over hte last few days and it has been fine, although the sound was mostly of myself and my team laughing and shouting, even the very loud sounds didn't clip or anything.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] David Roosendaal:
Hi everyone,

For security purposes I need the device to autolock when I turn it off. I do this with the windows 'lock' set to 0 minutes (and a simple password).

I use the HTC stock rom 5.05.405.1 WWE.

Works like a charm, BUT... when I use my device, on the internet, play a game and so on, the device usually does not recognise it's being used and goes into lock mode.

The Elite RC3 rom seems to have a fix for this 'lock', as it does recognise I use the device, and it doesn't lock it when I am busy.

I don't want to use RC3 (stability issues) but I do want the improved lock behaviour.

Does anyone know how this can be improved?

I tried a bunch of device lock tools, but none do what I need. I need a simple lock when switched off. Windows mobile provides it... it's just annoying that it fails to see user activity.

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers,

David
