Hy guys... i have the same problem like the rest of you guys out there... when i pluged in my handsfree jack in the prophet ... and listen to some music when i umpluged it it remains in headset mode :|

so i hade to crack this open ... i did this :|

WARNING THIS WILL VOID YOUR GARANTY !!!

I WONT BE TAKEN RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TIHS YOU DO :|

I switched the phone off and removed the battery ... SD card and sim card...

I unscrewed the 4 little screws that hold the prophet together

And i opened the little jack (i really don't know how its called) ...

i plugged the headset in to see where is the problem and the minute i plugged and unplugged i saw it

There is a little metal thing that connects 2 other little metal thingy xD when you unplug the jack you can see that the metal thing dosent go back to hes original position there buy it dosent make the switch back to normal mode and gets stuck in headset mode ...

i put a little paper or plastic between the metal thingy that connects the phone to headset mode so that it can force the thingy to stay connected to the other switch metal thingy xD forcing it to stay in normal mode.

so i guess that cracks it open where the problem is ... in the little jack hole where a little metal thingy dosent make the connection again ... i have sound now so its normal but i WONT use headsets again :| NEVER! because im scared that will happen again :D

i hope that was handy :| if you need a translation or maybe help i can really write in Portuguese or romanin maybe that helps :|

any questions ?

I just installed it and did a backup, wiped my G1 and went and restored each app. Now on the market it still says free which I dont have a problem. My concern is will I get notifcations for updates for the apps still even tho it says free for that app installed.
[G1 Apps and Games] Binary100100:
Well the first time I tried restoring my apps after a flash all of my apps said "Update available"... I started using that to get it to say "Installed" and then for no appearant reason they all said "Free". So I assume so... however I could be mistaken because my apps are stored to sd so I never have to technically restore my apps. ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] Sistum Id:
Wait hold on...

If apps are stored to the SD card than we dont have to reinstall or back up our apps?

Lets say I have my apps installed to SD. Than I do Alt W wipe. My apps will still be there? I usally reformat my ext2 partition before I do an alt w wipe.
[G1 Apps and Games] Binary100100:
Not sure why you would need to reformate your ext2 partition.

I just follow the steps to restore the apps to sd.

I have all the .sh files stored to my sdcard and use gscript.

Here's is the script itself that I use...

and it restores all of my apps automatically.

The only thing is that i have to go back to market and install them again from market so that it won't say "update available" or "free" even though I have them installed already.

You can also check this out here. VERY USEFUL! All you need to do is plug in the directory of your adb.exe and the location of your apps that are backed up onto your computer and it installs the rest. Obviously you need to already have the apps to sd mod running before you do it.
[G1 Apps and Games] Sistum Id:
That doesnt seem to be working for me. After I reboot I just get stuck in the endless flashing droid on statup.
[G1 Apps and Games] Binary100100:
It may flash for a while. I noticed that mine flashed for about 2 or 3 minutes.
[G1 Apps and Games] Sistum Id:
LOL maybe that was it. I dunno, doesnt matter right now, my phone wont stay on longer than a few minutes before rebooting even after reflashing back to RC29. Having a new one sent out for replacment.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magohn:
Hi guys,

Anyone know how to do this:

I open Form2 when a button is clicked on Form1. To return back to Form1 I have a button to do so on Form2. However, is it possible to return back to Form1 automatically after Form2 has displayed for a set amount of time - lets say 2 seconds? This way I could do away with the button on Form2 - which is my goal.

Thanks much, magohn
[XPERIA X1 General] Firefall!:
I'm looking for a slide-to-unlock solution for my X1. It should NOT come with any additional features (as S2U2 unfortunately does). I don't need to lock it for incoming calls, my phone software does this by itself. I only need an app which will lock the device on wakeup so I have to slide to unlock. Nothing more and nothing less. The best thing would be a Today-plugin.

One more question: If such a software does not exist, how hard would it be to create one? I am an experienced programmer in VB, JavaScript and PHP, so I don't think I would have to learn a lot. The question is just whether the process of locking/unlocking the phone and capturing the wakup-event etc. is actually easy to program. I don't want to write more than 50 lines of code for this and it has to work very well with that. Do you think this is possible?
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
As I don't know how screen slides are registered, I'm not 100% sure, but I can't imagine it'd need more than 100 lines.

Things you have to keep in mind that it has to be full-screen, always on top, locking hardware buttons as well etc.

If you manage to get this to work, I'd be very much obliged, as I'm looking for the exact same thing!

My advice: Make it semi-transparant and add an easy to modify image (png) that tells you to slide, which turns from red to green when you're set and then disappears.

I recommend making it fullscreen slide, the way lockmelite does, but then with the image added.
[XPERIA X1 General] Firefall!:
Nice to know that I'm not the only one looking for it ;)

So you would propose a transparent fullscreen app? I would prefer using the Windows-lock, but I think once it's in, the only way to unlock is through the standard procedure. Can anyone confirm this? What other ways are there to lock the touchscreen? Is there a way to keep a transparent windows always on top? And an easy function to lock the hw-keys? Would you just set up a sort of hook and don't pass the keypress event? Is there a way to ensure that the event will not be passed on to other apps such as AEButtons? I really need some serious information on this before I start reading tutorials and organizing compilers etc.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ctrl+A:
simple screen lock that works

I came across this app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=419525

Works well, I had to set "on call unlolck" and switch of it's "slide to answer" function to prevent issues with my current ROM.

works a charm on my X1 using TouchIT 4.5 !

tried a few others out, but all had one or another issue. For more, search for "screen lock" in main forum search.

(edit) although free needs simple monthly renewal of registration keygen
[XPERIA X1 General] Firefall!:
Yeah, first monthly registration sucks and I don't like the software. I've had it installed twice and I'm not satisfied (R2A ROM though). Performance is bad, many mismatches because of this. Application always comes in to protect, for example at boot - but it's completely useless because you can blast it away if you know enough to install it in the first place. deifnitely a no-go for me.
[XPERIA X1 General] dekeijzer:
I think it might be alot harder then you imagine. Programming in PHP is very, very easy. The best option is probably try to find one of the eary s2u2 cabs. Maybe A_C has some tips for you :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Webbmeister:
For Dev... MSDN may have the answer

If you are looking for examples of how to program the slide yourself, there's a good sample on codeproject:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/IPhoneUI.aspx

It's written in C#.NET but if you can program VB.NET you should be able to read through and vaguely understand what's going on.

The sample is an iPhone clone UI, not just the slide-to-unlock bit and I think the sample is QVGA. Either way, its better than having to work it all out from scratch ;o)

I've been meaning to write something similar but unfortunately life isn't giving up the time at the moment. If I get around to it I'll post it on XDA for everyone else to enjoy!
[XPERIA X1 General] fast rock:
Have you tried PocketShield?

http://www.pocketshield.net/download.htm

I liked it ..
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
Damn, this program is nice!

I always have problems with S2U2 because it's slow, often incoming calls messes the screen so I'm not able to answer and sometimes the color depth of the screen changes to approx. 5 colors after unlocking and only a softreset helps.

PocketShield seems to be cut to the essential: locking and unlocking.

I'll try it a bit more :)
[XPERIA X1 General] ChE84:
Does it work well with X1 ?
[XPERIA X1 General] fast rock:
It works very well :) ..
[XPERIA X1 General] mr.jaguar:
here's one that I REALLY like, nice and fast.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=478606
[XPERIA X1 General] pckshd:
It does, but with not all of its features. PocketShield has 3 essential ways to unlock: light, slide and gestures.

X1 does not have a G-sensor, so gestures unlock won’t be available.

It does has a light sensor but apparently it is very difficult for 3rd apps to access it, so light unlock will neither be available.

Only “slide to unlock” will work. And due to this a special deal has been made for the Xperia community… You might be interested: http://www.pocketshield.net/Xperia

I'm gonna check this out! Sounds good... Thanks!
[Touch HD General] evokeuk:
I've had a little search but couldn't find anything relevant.

Is there a way to tell how many text messages you've sent and how many you currently have in your inbox?
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
You sure can. Go to the sms/mms tab in TF3D and go to your inbox and hit All Messages (bottom left). That will put you in your inbox. Then go Menu>Select Messages>All and on the bottom it will tell you how many messages you've selected. After that, navigate to the "Sent Items" folder by clicking "Inbox" on the top left and selecting Sent Items. Once in Sent Items, it should tell you on the bottom how many items are in that folder (or you can go Menu>Select Messages>All). Also, many phone companies will have a way to check how many txts/minutes you have used so far in your billing cycle. For Tmobile (USA) you send #msg# for sms/mms and #min# for minutes. Lastly, there are third party apps which will keep track of all this for you (including data usage).

Hope it helps
[Touch HD General] marasp:
OK Guys I was searching this forum and not only this but could not find any answer or tip to my problem, so as far as i do not like to start new thread here we go....

It is a bit weird as it started to happen recently...my Garmin XT working ideally with TOPO maps when u hiking but as soon as i get into a car and connect my HD to power and try to navigate home it starts to loosing the plot... basically it will find the route and start navigating and then suddenly loosing GPS fix and switch screen off sometimes, and even once or twice unload itself so phone went back to main screen. also once it lost fix i can see that Garmin switching between full screen and full window view...as i can see top bar every now and then.

contacting Garmin is a waste of time....as they did not offer any solution except hard resetting the device, and i wont do that, to much work to put back everything together and not enough time.

if anyone have a clue what it might be please share ur thought, and give me a tip to sort this out.

I'm using non modified HD with standard WWE version on Orange UK.

Thanks for any help

PS. For MOD, do not know if I posted in right place so if need to be moved, just move it.
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
Oh and I thought my Garmin was going crazy :eek:! Actually Sygic is working fine with me except that I get some lags sometimes but it is all fine. But yeah tell me about it ... I tried Garmin and it looked for me better with much more POIS than Sygic but few days ago I was driving and suddenly the software started to go into other direction, like it was tracking something else. I think it is a bug with the software maybe. Thank God I am not the only one aware of many things going on with my HD :eek:
[Touch HD General] sunish:
have u ppl tried 1.13.25.24 radio rom??

with this update... getting fix is very fast (basically it does not search for com ports, shows u connected when u start GMXT).

only drawback is that u can not see the satellite bars in info section.

used gps for short distances (@ 140kmph not much lagging and no disconnection). maybe i'll go for a long drive this weekend... then i'll know if there is a problem of disconnection or lagging etc. :)
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
With TomTom i get the same problem, however i don't know what the problem may be because A-GPS is turned off, but it has happened twice where it would take 4 times as longer to find the signal, and whenever it did it would go find then lost.

Soft Resetting fixed it up however i did notice my QuickGPS was not up to date anymore, must have went out of date the day before and possible cause for it acting up.

Try updating QuickGPS, might fix it up and be sure to have A-GPS off.
[Touch HD General] marasp:
still no solution

i did forgot to mention that my A-GPS is already switched off. the problem is that Garmin keep switching between full screen and full window view and i suspect that my be the bottom of losing fix in the car... i want to stress out that while walking & hiking i have no such problem..... ONLY IN THE CAR and that is most frustrating.

and changing radio....well i'm not convinced as this could halt my phone if something go wrong and i cannot let it happen, as it's not only a toy but business tool, so i rather dont play with it.

any solution????
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Changing radio won't halt your device. As long as you have Hardspl on your phone beforehand you'll be fine!
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
And pelase report back if it does solve your problem
[Touch HD General] marasp:
Is this a solution????

Hi there, I see we lost some posts over here....so again latest update...

On the way to work this morning I tried garmin with Intermediate Driver and it worked!! but....there always has to be some but....I saw increase in lag...also i did it a bit different way then usually as I did not connected HD to power... will test it again with power connection tomorrow.
[Touch HD General] commando0:
i have extensively tested gps of touch hd while driving from 0 to 120 km in open highway

i never lost the fix

it kept locked to satelites but major problem was battery drain

so i have to disconnect gps latter on

i belive with gps on and satelite fixed driving around 80 to 100 km battery with die with in 2 hours .

otherwise there is lag of 5 to 7 km/hr in speed calculated via gps and its normal

my SiRF III CHIP based cowon q5 gps also shows 5 to 10 km /hr differance from actual speed of car

its normal i belive
[Touch HD General] marasp:
laggy but working

from what i experienced earlier with garmin i can say that lag become much bigger...now when i'm past the junction, on the map i suppose to be either on or even before the junction... never had that before so i suspect that intermediate driver might be responsible for that. also i can say that when using tomtom i have no such experience.

wanted to ditch tomtom but with such a laggy response i will have to use both... garmin for off road navigation and tomtom for car navigation.

the only thing i can confirm is that using intermediate driver solved switching between full screen and full window problem as well as loosing gps fix... at least for me. but u get bigger lag instead....

Hi all,

lately my camera has started to take ages (2-3 minutes) to save a photo each time I take a shot.

Needless to say, this makes using the camera pretty prohibitive.

I've tried it on both internal and SD card storage, and the problem is the same.

Anyone else have the same issue? Any thoughts / solutions?

Thanks in advance

Pete
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
are you using stock ROM or cooked(and which)? have you changed registry settings? have you used HD Tweak(which fyi changes registry settings)? If so, that may very well be your culprit.
[Touch HD General] Cheesy Dave:
One thing that came to mind was a corruption in your SD card and to check try:

http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html

But, you say also that on main memory this problem exists. So, this sounds more like a ROM settings problem.
[Touch HD General] Petee:
Standard ROM, but I have used Advanced Config Tool.

I reset to default settings, but problem still exists.

I have plenty of space on both the internal memory and SD card, so it's not a space issue, but I wonder if it might be a fragmentation issue?

Is there a fragmentation checker applicable? Is it possible to defrag the memory?

Thanks for your help so far...

Place the titaimg.nbh on sd card and enter bootloader just like flashing a rom via sd method.

make sure the file name is titaimg.nbh or TITAIMG.nbh no caps on nbh.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] seanpage624:
Me Noob

Hey sorry im big time noob i dont know how to install from sd card
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mattsm:
Take the radio rar file and unzip it. You will get a file named TITAIMG.NBH in the folder it creates.

You need a 2g or less sd card.

Place sd card in pc and format it to fat32.

Take the TITAIMG.NBH file and copy it on the sd card and rename it so that the .nbh is not capitalized.(straight on the root of card not inside any folders)

Place the sd card in phone and enter bootloader mode.(power,camera,reset)and a grey screen will come up and tell you to push power button to continue.

On the grey screen you will get update done. Just reset the phone.

Remember to take the titaimg.nbh file off of sd card when done.

Now with that being said if you ever want to flash a rom with sd just take the RUU_signed.nbh file that is used with rom update utility and place it on sd card and rename it to titaimg.nbh and enter bootloader(power,camera,reset) and it will work the same as the way you flashed the radio.

Hope this helps you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rozenthal:
I'm just fed up with this wallpaper issue in Manila.

When I got my Touch HD I figured someone will figure out why exactly is the 800x400 screen reducing wallpaper image quality to some low-res sh*t.

But, it's been months now, and no one seems to be working on this, so what the heck - I've decided to post it here, in hope that someone will actually try to do something about it.

What really disappointed me was the fact that even the latest Manila 3 from Topaz and Rhodium still has the exact same issue. So, it seems obvious to me that guys from HTC have no intention of fixing this. Why? I don't know.

But I do know it's frustrating to have all those fancy graphics, all that big, high-res screen, and then be forced to stare at THAT all day long.

Since I've seen so many great things being done to improve Manila, such huge changes to the whole system, I reckon there must be a way to improve this as well.

p.s. If no one cares, just take this as a bunch of rambling from a visual kind of guy :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rozenthal:
Oh, and just to share my info so far:

- the wallpaper picture format has no impact (I have tried them all - jpg, png, gif, bmp, 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit etc.)

- wallpaper picture size has no impact (it will look just as bad if you use 640x480, 800x400 or 8000x4800 pixel)

- if you put 800x400 wallpaper, it will not be stretched in any way - it will fill up the screen exactly 100% full, so people reporting 640x440 photos having better quality when used as wallpapers were having a placebo effect.

- the default Manila wallpaper is crisp sharp - no trace of any quality degradation.

- all default Manila wallpapers are very simple looking, with small number of colors, and very short range of colors (mostly it's just shades of gray and black)

- TF3D obviously applies some kind of compression algorithm to any applied photo, increasing brightness and applying very, very, very agressive image compression.

I believe it is this compression that is the cause of the image degradation. If someone could find the registry key to turn it off, I assume the problem would be solved. I also have a feeling that this compression was pushed up so high in order to speed up TF3d.

I am attaching an enlarge example of this compression. Original wallpaper vs. how it looks on TF3D.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
I have no idea if I should move this somewhere else..

so Rozenthal, is this meant to be a development thread?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rozenthal:
Well, more of a "hacking" if you want. If an application would arise from this, it would sure be great, but tracking down the problem itself and finding a manual solution would be also very much appreciated.

I posted this into this forum because I figure here's where most of the people dealing with Manila graphics are hanging out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Bla, fixing up my CFC patch for Manila to be able to load PNGs would possibly solve this. However I seem to recall something about the background always being shrunk to 512x512 max with the vertexes then stretched to fill the screen. Not completely sure on that, though.

And yes, QTC compression (used for Manila) is definitely lossy. It can be pretty decent though, depending on the editor you use.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rozenthal:
Chainfire, you must be reading my mind! I was just now reading that thread of yours where you used CFC to resize images for QVG and was going to write to you :)

I believe that information you provided in that thread MUST be somehow linked to this problem. I have only skimmed through your thread, but from what I understand there is in fact a compression algorithm involved in all Manila graphic files?

About the 512x512 - I can almost certainly say that this is not the case in Touch HD. The images you use for wallpaper do not get scaled in any way if they're in 800x400 resolution. They stay the same (this was the first thing I tested). However, they do seem to go through some sort of compression that causes any kind of graphic to look bad.

So, you're saying there's a way to manually compress with better results? But what then? How do we apply the custom-compressed image? I'm guessing it would be necessary to first find out which file is the default Manilla wallpaper, and then replace the new one with that? Would that work? Can this somehow be automatized?

I know it's a lot of questions, and it's late, but any help would be appreciated, especially because I feel that this might be the closest we got to solving this damn problem.

Cheers!
