hihi,

recently installed a few apps and run into this problem.

before install apps, during NEW SMS, under TO:, i type the name of the recipient and the related listing will appear, (much like the contact search). however, after installing the apps, this function does not work.

anyone encounter the same prob? or could it be the update? i'm not exactly sure when the change happened.

i have

SK tools

HTC EZ Input T9

HTC Enlarge start menu

sony ericsson facebook panel

clifford's XperiaTweak

Zenyee X1i Youtube

Mole Youtube

SE growing panel

smaberg power button X1 12 icons

S2U2

S2v

anyone?? :(:(

TIA!!
[XPERIA X1 General] m-at-nu:
i´m not sure but i think this problem is coursed through the htc t9...

i had the same problem by installing the virtual htc tastatur :(

just find out by deinstalling which app is the bad one
[XPERIA X1 General] gothicia:
man i removed htc t9 but problem still persist. a little time consuming to remove everything and try again. but maybe i'll try when i have the time.

thanks anyway. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Eaglef1:
I have the same problem since installing htc dialer. So I think this is the problem.
[XPERIA X1 General] stats:
i find it comes up when using the on screen keyboards, rather than the hardware keyword.
[XPERIA X1 General] gothicia:
it doesn't work with onscreen keyboard for mine.

i just realise how good the HTC Enlarge start menu is. cause the stuff is kinda small now.

i'll update you guys what causes the prob. i'm removing all stuff now.
[XPERIA X1 General] gothicia:
i went to do a hard reset and install one app after another and check. finally got the answer. it is the HTC EZ Input T9 !!!
[XPERIA X1 General] antmagpie:
Just press-in the optical touch pad, under TO:, and it takes you to you're contacts.
[XPERIA X1 General] gothicia:
yeah. but i don't want to scroll for the contacts. i don't like that method.

thanks anyway. but problem solved! very happy now.
[XPERIA X1 General] jianwei87:
Somebody are calling me but my phone does not have any response and nothing show out. But the guy are calling me the phone is ringing. Why?
[XPERIA X1 General] ckfamily:
Using any dialer application which handles incoming calls?

like Resco contact manager?

inesoft ?

iconesoft?
[XPERIA X1 General] jianwei87:
No i didn't install any dialer application.
[XPERIA X1 General] Sfkn2:
I get that sometimes because of my service provider. Have you tried other phones and still found the same results?
[XPERIA X1 General] jianwei87:
No. Only on Xperia
[XPERIA X1 General] THESpideyWVU:
Hate to say this as it sounds so simple, but have you tried a soft reset?

What carrier are you using? I've had similar issues with my old phone on AT&T.

I listen to .977 Music. They have a free app and it works very well. Link to cab here: http://www.977music.com/download/mobileradio.cab
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hotrod101:
I also listen to .977 music but wasn't aware of the cab. Thanks for posting it, I will be giving it a try.

If you know the source of the app and cab it would be nice to give credit or link to thread or web site. If you created it, give yourself some credit.

edit - I should have looked more closely - the app is available from http://www.977music.com/ and clicking mobile tab and so on. Nice find though. Will be testing when I am done work today.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] torny123:
Normal icons 22x22 pixel (Speedcamera) are too small with Navigator 7. The correct size is 48x48 pixel and 300 DPI. Also the filename has to be corrected from aaa.bmp to aaa_X2.bmp, this will show the icon in correct size.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] devdarshan:
Can you post some of the images..?

I read in the PGPSW site that only 22x22 works...are you using with that or internal tomtom spead cam icons?

please clarify.

thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Marcdu81:
Hello,resize the icon 22x22 to 48x48 then rename for example RF-50.bmp to RF-50_X2.bmp .

Link to download speedcam icons in bmp format and 50x50 pixels .
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] danum:
PGPSW include the X2 icons in their download.

To be specific, this solution is for the warning icon in the top left corner of the display that is triggered by the "warn when near" settings.

Unfortunately the icons overlayed on the map are still tiny with TTN7. For the map overlay you must still have the standard 22x22 icons installed.

AFAIK this is for all user defined icons that accompany .ov2 POIs only.

Hey guys,

There is not much explanation for this app. I created this app just for fun as I am a big fan of Staples' easy button* . I thought why not make it mobile so it can be carried any where you want.

I use it and it is fun.

Install it and you will see "That was Easy*".:D

for some reason the I couldnt upload the cab here.

Download Here

Thanks guys

[General Questions and Answers] splodgeyrog:
Hello

This is not trying to insult anybody on this forum, but i would like to know,

Why it is that on Devices such as Iphone/Android, the apps look good, and are smooth, whereas on windowsmobile they often end up being ugly .

Obviously some are great on windows mobile, and run flawlessly,

however the majority of apps on the internet are unpleasing.

Take for example, towers of hanoi.

I know most will hate the game but oh well.

On the iphone, there are a few apps for towers of hanoi, this being an example

Now here is the best one available for windows, NOTING IT IS A PAID APP COSTING £6.84

millions of apps are like this, where there is not a satisfactory wm6 equivilant. this is only 1 app i came across in day to day life .

Saying that, most inventive games on iphone dont even have a wm6 equivilant, satisfactory or not.

Please note, i do realize millions of useful apps not available on other platforms are available on wm6, TF3D etc.

However to me ,I am getting annoyed with the lack of nice games for wm6.

Will this change when the windows marketplace is opened properly?
[General Questions and Answers] kosherpig:
Maybe because WM is designed mainly to be practical? If anyone wants to see gorgeous landscapes simply copy photos of 'em to your phone and view them, on, for example a VGA screen which is incomparable to ****ty HVGA overiszed iPhones screen.

Want more games? Get yourself an emulator, for example SmartGear. It is paid, but (nearly) everything in iphone's app store is paid. After you get the emulator to work you get hundreds of games with excellent playability. But if you want inventions like:

a) pressing onscreen buttons and blowing into the mic to make sound

b) unlocking the screen by removing the simulated fog by your finger

c) game which is clever because its objective is to... press a button! yeah! The longer the better!

sorry, better get yourself an iPhone. If you managed to get this far and you don't want to kill me... wait for MS to designe the UI in a extra shiny finger friendly manner. Most likely developers will follow it.
[General Questions and Answers] kareeem:
I actually think a lot of the apps look nice; they could've been nicer, however, i'd prefer function over "form." Also, one of the reasons they don't look very aesthetically pleasing is becasue a lot are .NET applications so they're just there to deliver what the programs offers.
[General Questions and Answers] derekwilkinson:
Because it's more difficult...
[General Questions and Answers] DRZ400:
Because most apps are written by hobbyist programmers and we're forced to use standard .NET controls.

Programming fancy graphics is incredibly difficult and time consuming.
[General Questions and Answers] splodgeyrog:
not that i know anything about applications,,

but having to use .net controls sounds pretty ****.

Its just annoying that android and iphone have applications so far ahead of wm.

I think wm6 needs a complete redesign.

Even wm7 shots look dissapointing.
[General Questions and Answers] krazy_about_technology:
One problem/strength of WM is that it is available running on a diverse range of hardware which is completely opposite to the i-will-ride-on-my-own-bicycle-only-:babycry: :D philosophy of iPhone. WM apps are designed keeping all these phones in mind, so to let the app get monetized to the max. iPhone apps have the same hardware, as there is only one iPhone, no choice. They have 3D acceleration, Fast processor etc etc on it, so they design graphics heavy apps that will surely run on their one and only target platform. If you have the money, have an iPhone, and play with the apps, if you dont, just f**k off, thats what apple's philosophy is. If you disagree, tell me an apple phone that comes for the price of HTC GENE.

Apps that are targeted for certain WM phones do run with all the iCandy as possible on that phone. I dont have any exact example right now, but i am sure somebody here will provide if needed.

For example, if an app is designed to run on a HTC Touch Pro 2 exclusively, i m sure you'll see much better interface than the one which is designed to run on as many devices as possible, from the low end HTC Gene to ultra high end TouchPro 2.

I hope this will clear things out a bit for everyone.
[General Questions and Answers] DhaMajoR:
Because Apple has a bigger line of programmers.
[General Questions and Answers] anagarika:
Two aspects I can think of:

Apple has Steve Jobs, who happens to be educated BIG TIME in User Interface. iPhone is specifically designed (H/W and S/W locking together), so achieving it is easier.

WM (we're talking about WM, right?) is still based on PC / Desktop version, and the GUI (up to XP) doesn't change much. I believe 6.5 brings innovation (as I tested some cooked ROM) in smoothing the GUI. However, as an ex UIQ3 user, I believe, even if WM is intended for many devices (more standardized), MS can learn (and seems to be learning) from UIQ. All theme of UIQ changes a lot (scroll bar, text color, background). While for WM, the standard WM 6.1 theme won't even change the white background when we go to 'Setting' for example .. ;)

Just my 2 cents coming from different world :D
[General Questions and Answers] charm1718:
After reading all this i still do not understand why WM apps, not games, are so ugly looking. People can skin various keyboards, Music Players, creat iPhone looking today screens, skin dial pads, calculators etc. Why not simple make the original app good looking? I'm not talking about animations either. Look how much better looking the dialers people are making compared to the standard dialer that some of our phones have like my Touch pro.

I saw someone on this site made a mobile version of Google Translator tool. Its perfect function wise but it could definitely look better. Someone on Ppcgeeks made a movie searching app called Cinemo. It's not ugly but its not as good looking as the Pre's Fandango app. I'm not talking about the Fandango apps function, just the form.

Look how well Weather Panel themes look & how good iContacts look. Why cant WM users have form & functionality?
[General Questions and Answers] GuestK00306:
Standardisation. There are no default "fancy" controls for either MFC or .NET for Windows Mobile like there are for iPhone (and I assume Android).

To make aesthetically pleasing applications for WM requires the programmer to design their own, making each and every application completely different in appearance. These small changes confuse & irrate most users as they can't find what they're looking for, therefore we just use the default controls instead of wasting time on making it pretty.

Secondly, putting graphics onto the screen is all well and good, but you want your app to run on as many resolutions as possible. That means resizing images (ugh) or having a separate image for each resolution making your application larger (ugh).
[General Questions and Answers] charm1718:
Are all programs skinnable?

I understand that making a program for various resolutions would be tedious but what I dont understand is why do people only make things look good after its seen elsewhwere? Nobody decided to make better looking media player skins until the iPhone came out. This also the same with contacts, dialers & keyboards. If this could have been done before, why wait until someone else does it then copy it?

When I look in Development & Hacking I see apps for specific resolutions. People post asking for different resolutions and someone else might make the changes if they have a device with that resolution. Is there something the developer has to do on his end to make an app skinnable or can they all be skinned?
[General Questions and Answers] GuestK00306:
Skins have to be implemented by the developer. Although, all images that are used within a program have to be stored somewhere (either within the program itself or on your device) so those images can be found & replaced as many people on this board do. This does take some knowledge though.

And the reason people only came out with nice-looking interfaces after the iPhone is because it was innovative. It's a lot easier to copy an interface than it is to pick a design out of your brain & implement it from scratch :)
[General Questions and Answers] typo:
There's several reasons why WM has a lot of ugliness in its apps.

One is due to the UI itself. Non-fullscreen apps have both a top and bottom bar cluttering the screen and apps are rarely built to "match" the existing bars. The iPhone has less screen real estate taken up by the UI, so developers can control the look a bit more. Also, as I understand it, WM offers uglier barebones formatting. The iPhone gives devs access to prettier standard controls, menus, and fonts, whereas WM devs start with ugly and aliased controls and the like.

One reason is due to age -- WM has been around a (relatively) long time and many of the apps you're seeing were designed for devices with weaker visual capabilities and were also designed when the mobile app market was smaller and less competitive, so there was less incentive to make things pretty.

Another reason is due to the fact that a lot of WM apps are made by very amateur developers who simply don't have the training and know-how to pretty things up. WM, as a platform, seems most popular amongst IT workers, geeks, and tweakers. This is why there's tons of powerful, functional apps out there -- but a lot of us geeks don't know much about design. I, unfortunately, know about design but not programming. :P
[General Questions and Answers] charm1718:
Thank you for clearing some things up. It would be great if the programmers and graphic designers could work together on more projects.
[General Questions and Answers] speed_pour:
I'd like to get all three working together on projects. There's a few people who really know how to build the UI code, and there's a few wildly talented people who can put together graphics.

The thing I'd really like to do is get an organized team of people set up to work on projects, similar to how it would be done in any professional shop. A few guys who know systems/db/back-end coding, a few UI experts, and a few graphic designers. Baring that, at least get a list of people who would offer to join in on projects as they were put together.
[General Questions and Answers] charm1718:
Have you reached out to anyone & tried putting something like this together?
[General Questions and Answers] speed_pour:
I've suggested it once before. For reasons that are too varied to get into right now, I expect that it would run into some complications on this forum.

With my current constraints (lack of gainful employment), I'm reluctant to get too deeply involved in organizing such a project unless it had the potential of turning profits. I do see a lot of potential in forming a group that produced both freeware/open source apps along with some commercial apps...I would be happy to be involved in that venture. If any serious developers are interested in a project like this, I would certainly find the time to organize and also be a developer.

[General Questions and Answers] mr.jaguar:
the reason most apps on windows mobile/phone are so ugly is because for years "skinners" have been "hackers" and so forth. no one ever took them for anything more than a bunch of kids hacking up software to make it prettier, which inherently makes everything slower (sarcasm).
