Hi

I am still getting used to the my new touch hd phone. I've been playing with the screen lock tools available here but can't seem to find the right one for my needs. I want to be able to lock the screen during full screen video playback so it won't jump back to the portrait mode with an accidental touch on the screen (or keys). Either a slide or a long key press can return back to the portrait mode. Any ideas how I can achieve this?

Thx.

Moinsen,

first, sorry for my englisch. I`m from german. I've bought an xda mini s from ebay. It has an english rom. I want to update it. Update was alright. It goes to 100% boot new, but there was the logo, then the screen with ipl and Spl an than happens nothig. no desktop or something else. Why? Than I want to update to the original rom from the o2 site, but the software says "wrong device ID" or something like that. What should I do? How can I get my XDA Mini S to the original status? Pleas help me fast....

Thanks
[G4] Myrddin Wyllt:
This may be just a bad flash. Verify the phone is unlocked (post your IPL/SPL info here if you're not sure how to verify), and if it is, flash again with the ROM you tried. I hear a lot of good feedback for this German ROM, is it the one you tried to use?

hey i just switched from my old LG VX8300 to a Verizon VX6800 that i'm using on cricket, and i right now i have the daunting task of switching over all my contacts to this new phone...

that's over 160 something contacts i gotta transfer.

now my VX8300 has no USB port, and i'm not about to buy the cable to get the contracts trough QPST.

so it seems i have only two options. manuall add them, or if thre was some kind of miracle program that i could install on the VX8300 trough a microsd card, so that i could transfer my contacts trough there...

and i don't think such a program exists, so i am asking you guys if you all know how i can hook up my VX6800 to my PC, and manually add contacts to it trough my computer. i can type much faster on my computer, so that is my "best option" as i see it right now.

i have both winxp and vista. the "sync" center works, but it has no options to munally "Add" contacts to my phone...:mad:
[General Topics] Addicted2xda:
Try Activesyc or its vista cousin
[General Topics] X-Kenshin-X:
that's what i just said... activesync doesn't have such an option...

it only lets me "sybchronize" my contacts from my hotmail, that's useless.

i need to be able to manually add them

[General Topics] X-Kenshin-X:
hey thanks for the suggestion, i think i know wht this is, is it like to transfer my contacts from 1 PPC to another??

anyways, could you elaborate more on what the program does?
[General Topics] chfaure:
You can use MyMobiler to control your HTC from your PC.

If you can extract your contacts in csv format from your old phone, you can also use ppcpimbackup to restore them with some minor manipulation see Here

Hope this helps !
[General Topics] X-Kenshin-X:
it didn't say there how to "control" my PC, it only said how to extract contacts from one SMART PHONE to another...

my previous phone is not a smart phone. it does have a microSD slot, but it is not a smart phone, and it DOESN'T have windows mobile...
[General Questions and Answers] MrRalphMan:
Hi all,

I have two E-Mail accounts set up on my Touch HD.

1) - Imap connection to GMAIL

2) - Sync connection to Nuevasync, through to Gmail for Cal and Contacts.

Now when I chose to manage folders in number 1, if I choose one of Google's default folders (All Mail, Spam etc) they sync correctly. If I choose folders created under the Inbox, although I have the option to check their check boxes, the E-Mails in them do not replicate onto my phone.

Is this a limitation with Gmail as in the Web GUI they are not shown as folders, but they do work fine in Thunderbird using an Imap Connection.

Many Thanks,

Paul.

Hi all.... I'm just curious. I am planning to purchase (hopefully) this phone if it coes to the US and for AT&T (or I'll switch to whoever carries it). The two sub-topics in the forum - Accessories, and Themes -- say "NEVER" by them. Is there a reason for this? Hopefully this is a simple question to answer, as it doesn't make sense.

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] srsaleenstang:
no one has ever posted a topic on accessories so thas y you see a never as in never been posted
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Poke_N_PDA:
More than likely this phone should be compatible with most any Current HTC accesories out there (apart from cases that is). It's got the same combination connector and same software so it should all be good for the most part.

Hi,

i think it would be great if someone could come up with a way of checking which friends are online on your Playstation Network.

I think there is something simmilar for Xbox live where users can use their WM device to see whos online.

It would be great if this is possible and i know many people will be interested in this.

keyboard

my bottom row (space, function , period) started doing this on my mogul and i have to press harder. i took it into the store bc my 6700 did same thing when i had that phone and sprint guy said keyboards do this and need to be realigned. so i thought they would realign my 6800 but guy just pressed hard and could not 'reproduce' problem. but i showed him i couldn't do it with how i pressed.

anyways, just take it in, they will clean keyboard or replace. if you have plan.

Hi all,

I've installed the custom rom from medkid (v1.3.3). Everything works fine, except for one thing.

When windows is hanging (for some reason) and I need to (soft)reset my phone all my settings, programs etc. are gone.

I even get the setup wizard with the screen alignment and stuf.

So, I tried some other custom roms. Same story.

Any ideas how to fix this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Not everyone on here uses a custom rom and still fewer people use a specific rom. So you are not doing yourself any favors by asking a question about a specific rom in the general section. Many more people that could help you would see your question if you posted it in medkid's 6.5 thread.

That being said, I would try flashing back to the OEM rom to see if the problem persists. Also Just to check, you are doing a " soft " reset and not a " hard " reset right ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Axesion:
I've been doing a broad amount of reading, which has been required. I think im ready to give this flashing process a shot? Now im confused (stuck) at the CID unlocking specifications, is this necessary prior to Hard SPL to start flashing my ROM of choice?

[Touch HD General] lunatic_silf:
how do you switch off the camera shutter sound??

It's kinda annoying from time to time. And it is pretty loud, which makes the phone useless inside my lecture room when i want to take a photo of the lecture notes...
[Touch HD General] c_lee:
Open the camera, tap the screen once to show the toolbar icon, tap it to open the toolbar and tap the gearwheel for settings.

Page 3 sets the shutter sound. Whatever you choose will be remembered.
[Touch HD General] Budadank:
I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but have you considered looking through the options menu?
[Touch HD General] lunatic_silf:
The problem is in my page 3, the options are:

Shoot option

Image properties

Effect

Metering mode
[Touch HD General] Budadank:
No idea then, strange that the option is missing from your device as it's (the option) in the official manual for the Touch HD. I'm using Dutty's 2.6 ROM which has a different camera version to the Stock ROM, I'm pretty sure the option was there on my device before I got the flashing bug, though.
[Touch HD General] brusko1972:
do you have stock rom? my page 3 has shutter sound. metering mode is on page 4
[Touch HD General] Sir.B:
mute your phone ;), especially during lectures

EDIT:

did not know it's AU version, try overwriting the shutter sound snap.wav in the windows folder

or in the registry "HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Common\SourceOfSnapSound"

or replace the camera EXE form a different WWE ROM
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
I swear, some people just want us to feed them.
[Touch HD General] lunatic_silf:
Not even mute can silent the camera shutter.... This is so annoying.....
[Touch HD General] Aaronc1978:
Shutter sound cannot be turned off on aussie version

No need to be nasty guys. The posters problem is that they have purchased an Australian version of the blackstone (I have the same phone). It turns out that Telstra in all their wisdom have ensured that the camera sound cannot be turned off (this is something they are doing with all phones now to stop people taking 'up skirt' pics and such). So even if you turn the sound off, if you go into the camera and use it, the phone sound is turned back on. People have tried to change the registry values for the camera sound and this does nothing. Someone has also managed to find the sound file (which cannot be deleted) and replaced it with another sound, but on soft reset the sound is replaced back to original loud annoying and very embarrassing sound.

So if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this (without flashing the rom), there will be a lot of appriciative people out there.
[Touch HD General] Major_Sarcasm:
Fixed for you ;)
[Touch HD General] Aaronc1978:
LOL, well I am both of those things, but don't use a phone camera for either :)
[Touch HD General] Aaronc1978:
Problem Solved

First things first:

It turns out that in the aussie version the source sound referred to in the registry (snap.wav) does not exist.

There is also other sounds within the windows folder that were part of the ROM (ShutterSound.wav and TimerSound.wav) but changing these had no effect on the camera sound.

Solution:

I managed to find the source of the sounds within a resource file and have successfully changed them to blank waves. The only issue with this work around is that the phone sound is still switched back on (even from silent mode) and stays on until ~20 seconds after shutting down the camera down, this means that if someone calls, emails or sends a message the corresponding sounds will be made. This could be a problem in lectures etc, but I can't think of any other work around. I'll work out how to make a cab for the change and post it here, in the meantime if anyone wants to know how to manually do the change let me know and i'll post it.
[Touch HD General] Major_Sarcasm:
The simplest option for this issue would be for Aussie guys to flash a non-Oz ROM and be done with it. Flashing some of the newer ROMs has many benefits, not least of which would be the ability to mute the shutter sound from within the camera app itself.

To my mind, a much more elegant solution.
[Touch HD General] Aaronc1978:
Camera Sound Silencer

Flashing the phone is obviously the cleanest method, but this option is not available to everyone. I have recommended the HD to people who have had their work purchase it for them (in such cases flashing is not an option). I also know people who will never flash their ROM, and yet want a quick and reversible solution for their problem. I won't be flashing my ROM until the shipped version of mine is available (I got caught with a warranty issue and a different ROM version before). I'm sure this won't happen until I extract my own so flashing isn't the answer for everyone.

Anyway attached is the CAB for silencing the sound. This works for the Australian ROM (not sure about other countries, so if anyone else tries it, let me know if it works). You first need to install the sdkcerts (this ensures you don't get asked if you trust the source each time you start the camera), then install the CamSilencer(AU).

REMEMBER that each time you use the camera the sound on the phone gets switched on, so if you are worried about phone calls etc, then make your alerts blank sounds too.

Any feedback would be good!
[Touch HD General] MattoR:
AaronC1978 - Any chance of getting a version of this that will work for the Touch Diamond? I've got a Telstra Touch Diamond that's a work phone, so flashing it is out, as you rightly mentioned above.

I've tried installing both your CABs here, but it's broken my camera. When I go into the camera, it works for about 2 seconds (and I can see the picture from the camera on the display), then the display goes black, and I get an error pop up "Failed to initialize camera. Failure to initialize the camera device.". I uninstalled the CamSilencer CAB, and it's back working again now, but (of course) I still have the obnoxious shutter sound.

Having the other phone sounds turned on after I've been using the camera isn't a problem to me, as I very rarely have the phone on silent anyway, and especially not if I'm taking a picture. I just want to get rid of that horrible loud camera sound! There's one thread in the Diamond section from last year that's gone unanswered and abandoned - help me Obi Wan Kenobi - you're my only hope! :)

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

Matto :)
[Touch HD General] Aaronc1978:
Hey Matto,

I'm no Obi Wan, two weeks ago I knew I could install cabs onto my phone, but that was the extent of it!!

Assuming that a similar file is modified on the diamond I should be able to fix it for you. But first you are going to have to get the file for me. If you don't have it installed you will need to use total commander to be able to get the file:

http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm

Install that on your phone and open it. In the total commander window, open up the windows folder and scroll down to a file called 'cameraRC.dll' and click it. Now click 'copy/move' in the file menu at the bottom of the screen and click click 'tree' on the popup and select eg your storage card. Now click copy on the popup.

Now connect your phone to your pc and move the cameraRC.dll file onto your pc (if you cant see it, make sure that you have "show hidden files" enabled on your file options on your computer).

When that's done, upload the file here and i'll take a look for you.

PM me if you have any trouble.
[Touch HD General] MattoR:
Hi Aaron,

Sounds like I'm about 2 weeks behind you then! I've uploaded and attached the CameraRC.dll file to this post here as per your beaut instructions - if you wouldn't mind taking a look, I'd really appreciate it. I'm sure all the other Aus TD users would as well!

Thanks for all your help - this has been driving me mad!

Thanks!

Matto :)
[Touch HD General] Aaronc1978:
Hey Matto,

I'm glad the instructions were clear, hopefully this CAB fixes the Diamond sound. You still need to make sure you have the sdkcerts file installed first. Also make sure you have uninstalled the HD CamSilencer (which I'm sure you have since it muffed up your camera). Don't stress if this doesn't work, because it is the right file and it just means I've done something wrong on my end (can't test if it works). Let me know how it goes.

Aaron
[Touch HD General] MattoR:
Hey Aaron,

You're a legend, my friend! Works a treat. Takes away both the focus zoom/lock sound, as well as the obnoxious shutter sound! I already had the sdkcerts installed from the previous attempt, and had uninstalled the old HDCamSilencer.CAB the other day, as you had guessed. Copied the new one across, installed it, rebooted the phone and voila - no sound!

Thanks very much for your help with this - very much appreciated! I'll let you announce it to the guys over in the TD forums, since it's your work and only right that you should get the kudos for it! I'm sure all the Telstra TD users will be very appreciative!

Again, thanks very much for your time and effort into doing this for me! Well done!

Thanks!

Matto :)
[Touch HD General] Aaronc1978:
No worries matto,

You should find the camera actually works quicker too (for some dumb reason the time taken to focus and acquire the image is related to the length of the sound). Anyways, glad it worked for you, no more embarrassingly loud sound!! I'll hunt down the TD forum and link to this thread.

Cheers

No worries dude, glad it helped. Today I was sitting out the front with my little girl and this wild koala climbed down out of this tree and waddled straight for us. He reached out to my kid and cuddled up to her, i managed to get heaps of snaps of the whole thing. I've never seen anything like it and if I still had the retarded sound on the phone there is no way he would have kept coming. So it's come in handy for me too.

thanks buddy, that was the best thing any stranger has ever done for me :) im sure lots of people agree

the funny thing, the idiots of telstra dont seem to have thought twice before jumping to this conclusion that if u disable the silencer, perverts will be less active! come to think of it, most upskirt photos are taken in loud places, where the sound of the camera can be barely heard!

i installed but didnt restart, and it works fine (htc touch hd) now i seriously love my mobile
