Does anyone knows how to tweak the WM6 on newer device to allow the internal gps to work even when the device is "locked" by pressing the power button.

I'm running "GPS Tuner" on my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1a (SE Venus)... if I press the power button to lock the screen... the signal will be lost... and no track is recorded...

When I run it on my old HTC P4350 (Herald) with an external bt gps, it would keep on running and record the track even when I pressed the power button to lock the screen.

Did not tweak anything on the Herald so I think it might be a feature of the newer windows mobile to save battery.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hgrimberg:
Is there an application to shut down the screen? I mean a program (cab) or an exe file that just turns off the screen instead of using the Power key?

It could be cool to re-map one of the soft keys (using Advanced config) and create a soft key that shuts down the screen instead of having to go touch the unconfortable Power key.

Thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bapski:
you may want to take a look at POCKETSHIELD
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] darnelhouston:
umm...so i have some what of a similar request.

is it possible to use the windows default lock without enabling the password. that is when the screen turns off it auto locks (similar to S2U, however using the windows 6.5 lock screen)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bapski:
dont think the default windows lock autolocks..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] band27:
You can map out a motion to shut of screen with .....this APP (G-Trigger)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hgrimberg:
If you want to lock it using the WM feature, use the Advanced Config program and set it up so that it auto locks the screen after a few seconds of not using it.

Pocketshield is not what I was looking for. I am looking for a small application that only turns off the screen. (instead of using and stressing the power key)

Is there an .exe file in Windows that makes the screen turn off?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
I don't think windows contains one of those.

It's not hard to write, so I can whip up a little exe for you.

Do you want it to have the same effect as the power button, or to just turn the screen off but leave everything running as though the screen were on?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
Something that may be off use:

http://vijay555.com/?Releases:VJDeviceLock
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hgrimberg:
Thank you! It could be nice to have a small exe file that just makes the screen goes off and keep everything else running.

My idea is to then re-map one of the soft keys and be able to turn off the screen by simply clicking on it instead of pressing the power key. It's simpler, faster (your fingers are near the screen, you dont have to move your hand and touch that weird power key on top), and you dont stress a key that could some day not work anymore because of heavy usage.

I tried with a program called Screen Toggle but it takes some seconds to turn the screen off. I think an exe file can be faster.

Thank you a lot!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
Three little exes for you.

Names should be fairly self explanatory.

QuickReset performs a soft reset.

QuickScreenOff turns off the screen, nothing else

QuickPowerOff should emulate the power button
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hgrimberg:
Thank you so much l3v5y! You are a genious!

Do you know if the Power off saves more battery than the screen off?

I am trying your programs now on my phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
Power off will save more battery as it'll stop things running.

Screen off will leave everything running, so if you press a button the device will react, but the screen will be off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hgrimberg:
Screen off is working great and it is super fast!

Thank you again!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
It's fast because the code is:

// QuickScreenOff.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <pm.h>

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
SetSystemPowerState(NULL, POWER_STATE_SUSPEND,	POWER_FORCE);
return 0;
}

If it were slow, I'd be very worried! :D

Glad it's working for you :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] payner96:
I find lockandoff to work well as it locks and turns off your screen. Just map soft key to the program and your set.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bbobeckyj:
VJEschaton and mortscript can do the screen off/on thing and registry for the lock.

It's a bit more grey than that, just add a small 'run on wake' prog to the notification queue such as a mortscript vibrate script or something that writes to a log file, you'll hear/see a lot happening when the power is off. Anything in the notification queue will wake it up but leave screen off and buttons locked. The backlight is the biggest drain on power.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] l3v5y:
Most processes are stopped when the power button is hit.

Some service, some processes and the notification system and RIL etc are left running, but most applications are stopped.

Powering off will save more power (some devices do underclock when the power is off...), just it won't be that much more than saved by just turning the screen off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hgrimberg:
Selective key lock

This is an awesome application! And it is fast as well. Thank you.

I wonder if there is some tweak or program that does a selective key lock... Under "settings" there is just the option of locking all keys but I wonder if it could be possible to lock all keys except the round center enter key for example. (this way you can turn on the phone by just clicking this more accessible key on the Diamond)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] band27:

QuickScreenOff turns off the screen, nothing else . . . Not

Doh . . when I found your Screen off .exe I thought YES this is what I have been looking for over a year now:) But alas it does not “leave everything running” on my HTC Diamond Touch:(

The problem I am trying to address is, as a tourist in an unfamiliar foreign town using TomTom or iGo is the perfect way to walk from one way point to another, however if I leave the screen backlight on, the battery is depleted to fast and if I use the power button (or everything else I have ever tried) to blank the screen this also disables the GPS receiver on my Diamond, then when I put the screen back on theirs a long delay re-finding the Sats and acquiring a fix especially between tall buildings and especially as it hasn't been able to track my movements.

However the screen-savers dimed screen does not disable this and it saves some power!

Would it be possible to make a very dim QuickScreenDim.exe . . . please?:o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bbobeckyj:
@ richardsOffice:

vijay555 has an app to turn off the screen, but I would suggest using his (or someone else's) screen lock app which uses the inbuilt MS screen lock & turns the screen off, without the need for it to be loaded in the today screen.

Also use mortscript to do that & for the dimming of the screen. Set the "Auto backlight adjust" to off, then set it to the dim level you want, then turn the auto adjust back on. You can then use the code below to toggle the auto adjust on/off:

f (regread ("HKCU","ControlPanel\BackLight","LightDetectOn") eq 0)

Regwritedword ("HKCU","ControlPanel\BackLight","LightDetectOn",1)

sleepMessage (1, "LightDetectOn", "", 1)

Else
Regwritedword ("HKCU","ControlPanel\BackLight","LightDetectOn",0)

sleepMessage (1, "LightDetectOff", "", 1)

endIf

@hgrimberg:

mort's button / screen lock can do as you would like, if I understand what you want correctly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bbobeckyj:
trying to upload the script from my phone... not sure if I can...

meanwhile, to do it yourself, download mortscript & install. copy the "code" into a text file, change the text file's extension from .txt to .mscr then execute it.

this may sound difficult, when I first read the manual, I gave up immediately, but once you start you'll wonder how you ever managed without mortscript.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] richardsoffice:
thanks bbobeckyj

Hey thanks bbobeckyj, I have followed your directions regarding mortscript and now if I execute the .mscr file you kindly posted my backlight dims, that’s brilliant.:)

Tomorrow I will have a go at getting something to trigger it, would be nice if I could just invert the phone to trigger it as with GOffDisplaySetup.CAB

Im stupid.....because i overwrote my stock cingular rom's tnetwln.dll file with the Faria version so i could connect to a WEP-AES based network, without saving the original first. After i overwrote the original .dll i soft reset my device i found that activating wifi in the comm manager was not possible and have sorely regretted deleting that file ever since. I would really appreciate help on this matter with either the original tnetwln.dll file or another solution. Thank you in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] joemanb:
If the original file was part of the ROM You should be able to delete the new file (you may have to rename it first), then do a soft reset and the original file will be used by the OS.

I have recently upgraded from and O2 XDA Orbit to XDA Zest and really like what I see, but there were some things on the Orbit which do not appear to be on the Zest:

What has happened to the handy little O2 Today plugin that could show the next however many appointments you wanted on the Today screen and also up to 6 shortcuts to applications that would fit in one little line across the screen?

Also, I tried to install a phonepad to input with instead of the keyboard, etc. but it only shows up REALLY small on my screen. Any ideas or better suited ones than the HTC one?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] boch501:
Hi

I've noticed recently that my screen has developed some sort of liquid underneath the screen. If it is caught in the right light, there is a green and purple swirly 'blob' between the layers of the screen that i can move around with my fingers, but it returns to the center of the screen each time, like a liquid. I've never got my diamond wet, or had it near any fluids, so can't see what this could be!

The screen can be on or off, and is really irritating in some light!

Here's a picture:

Hope someone can shed some light.

Here's a video for people who wanna see the game in action running on a HTC Diamond http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdPBUzx6o7Y

The video is of the older version, there's now a new version available which supports the accelerometer and which also has greatly improved textures...
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Don't bother - it's not the fastest on the Universal. Give a try to Raging Thunder instead, should you need some more rendering speed.

BTW, on Handmark (where I purchased my copy from yesterday), the HTC Diamond version is still the one I've mentioned in the review - are there other (legal) sources of the new version?
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
UPDATE (4/13/2009 14:32 CET): XDA-Developers forum member owziee has made some screenshots of the new version using better textures on hardware accelerated models like the HTC Diamond. I still don’t know where it can be purchased from as the Handmark version I purchased is still clearly an old (11/14/2008) one. Also see THIS for a discussion.

Also, there's a video of the HW accelerated version HERE.
[General Topics] MistyFrog:
10bucks is a reasonable price.

So your actually saying this would run well on a touch pro?

I wonder if I can see FPS factor or something.

If this doesn't run smooth, does it make sense to use speedbooster?
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Based on the Diamond (which is, HW-wise, pretty similar), it should make use of the 3D acceleration. However, I can't guarantee anything - it might turn out to be incompatible.

(Too bad neither EA nor Gameloft offer trial versions at Handmark to check their stuff's compatibility before purchasing them.)
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
UPDATE (4/13 16:45 CET): note that, as far as Gameloft’s above-mentioned two racing titles are concerned, Gameloft’s Asphalt4 Elite Racing and Ferrari GT,

1.	I referred to Asphalt4 Elite Racing HD, not the earlier (and much-much inferior: much worse graphics, no multiplayer etc) Asphalt4 Elite Racing. The latter runs OK on VGA devices too. (Nevertheless, I don’t recommend it because of the, compared to the HD version, ugly graphics and so on.)

2.	On my HTC Wizard, it’s Ferrari GT that is considerably slower (it’s pretty much unplayable as of version 1.09) than EA’s Undercover, not Asphalt4 Elite Racing HD. The latter is somewhat faster (as of version 1.07) than EA’s title. The situation might be similar on other OMAP 850-based devices.

[General Topics] owziee:
I can agree that the iphone version looks better but still the Diamond version looks way better than the ngage version imo, also the ngage version seems to run slow as hell in the video.

Also remember the Diamond renders at vga (640x480) & that requires a lot more power than the iphones resolution, it's easy to see the jagged edges in the iphone screenshots due to it's low resolution.

i dont want to go out of the topic

but if you see Playstation 3 , if you put a Playstation 1 game there is an aptions to make the game go smooth

what the Smooth option do ?

it make the game have a little more FPS and removed the Squares all around the pleace in a playstation1 3D games

the same thing in diamond it jast the same game as ngage but they make it smooth

i think the diamond can do better than this

so what you guys think ?
[General Topics] l3v5y:
On the Diamond this works really well (the screenshots don't look good, but the pixel density makes it much better on device).

Also, the accelerometer worked out of the proverbial box with the version I have.

Framerates aren't perfect with things running in the background, and it does complain if there's not enough RAM, but switch of TF3D and it's a great little game.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Yeah, the n-gage version pretty much sucks. Unfortunately, no game have supported the 3D hardware acceleration in the models that otherwise have this (N95 etc.). This is why all the three racing games I mentioned in the review (Gameloft's two titles and EA's Undercover) are pretty unplayable and useless on my N95 - certainly a no-match for the accelerated and accelerometer-friendly iPhone version.

UPDATE (05/06/2009 16:36): at last, the iPhone / iPod Touch version of the game is out.

It’s orders of magnitude better than even the hardware accelerated Windows Mobile version, let alone the non-hardware accelerated one (or the Nokia N-Gage 2.0 version). It’s fast, has extremely good, stereo in-game music, cutscenes; it’s spectacular etc. As opposed to what some people stated, it runs flawlessly on the iPhone 3G too; not only the (currently) fastest model, the iPod Touch 2G.

All in all, if you have an iPhone (preferably the faster 3G model) or an iPod Touch (preferably a 2G model), go for it instead of the Windows Mobile version – it’s way-way better.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wr420:
Hi

Just happened to me. I don't know exactly how it happened but it might have something to do with an app writing to my storage card as the battery died. In my case Mars Weather Panel was the culprit.

Files were written to the storage card with special characters in the names.

ie. little squares, periods, slashes etc..

I only noticed it when I tried to copy everything off the card so I could reformat it.

One strange thing was that if I plugged the phone into the pc via usb and used activesync -> explore to copy files from the card it didn't indicate a problem but when I put the card into a card reader the copy failed. After investigation I found the files with special chars. These files caused the directories to appear empty when viewing with resco exp etc.. so you can not delete them from the phone unless perhaps you know what directory contains them and you delete the directory but just a guess there.

So in the end to be safe I copied all the files to my pc except ones with corrupted file names, formated the card and copied back the files to the newly formatted card.

**This was done with the card out of the phone in a card reader.**

Refurbs go through a lot more testing than new units do and they normally put new casings on refurbs.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Something someone who worked for Seagate once told me... what THEY do for the refurbs is this; they take everything off until all they are left with is the disk body, then they strip and repaint the body and install all new guts and cover and slap on a sticker with a green line that says "refurbished". In other words, its a new disk with one non-critical used piece so they can legitimately call it a refurb. The entire point of doing this is that it becomes false advertising to RESELL it AS NEW... even though it is. I suspect that most electronics manufacturers do some variation of this.
