[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Freckle:
When you download a program for example Diamond Beer (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-diamond-beer.html)

You will download a file called DiamondBeer2Installer-v0_1.cab

That is a CAB file. When you see that you copy it to the internal storage and run it from your mobile phone.

But sometimes (usually when it's made by real developers) you get a executable. Those are either to be run from your pc and with ur mobile phone hooked up using activesync. Or if it gives you an error when trying to execute it from your pc then most likely it's telling you that you aren't running windows mobile (means you're not running it from your mobile phone while you're supposed to), then it's the program itself (the actual and final .exe) and you will have to make a directory on your internal storage yourself and copy the .exe in there (No automated installation involved).

Sorry for the long and maybe senseless story but it's late here and I'm in a hurry.

Enjoy

Hello again and thanks for your patience!

I have downloaded said file. I used winzip to extract, then cut and paste the folder in my "internal storage" on my device.

Inside there are three folders:

_setup (which is the .xml file I was talking about earlier)

Diamon~1.000

Diamon~10001

When I click on the setup file, me device just goes to IE:

file:/internal%20storage/DiamonBeer2Installer-v_1/_setup.xml

???

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] whiskeybro:
don't extract the file but cut and past on your phone

go to the file on your phone and you wil see that its a cab click on it to install.

Does anybody know if it's possible for the TD2 to download weather and stock quotes using the wifi only (if available), and not 3G connection (cause it's very expensive)?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] elmalote:
Its set up to automatically use WiFi when available. WiFi will always override 3G..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] loadstone007:
But you can't totally disable 3G, right?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] elmalote:
You can, by using the Switch in the Comm Manager => Data Connection

Or you can go into All settings => Personal => Buttons and configure the End Button to disable Data Connection..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] loadstone007:
I know that, but the device turns this feature back on automatically if I try to send an e-mail or receive.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] HTC Touch Freak:
Go to All Settings>Connections>Advanced Network

In the drop down menu go to disable. That is all. Should be off for good till you turn it on/
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] kalo_bad:
heloooo~!!!1

i confirm that weather works with wify faster than 3G. Any application will lauch faster tahn 3G in wiffy.

Any who... i have T-mobile.....US...no 3G..just Edge but it works....actually i have the Touch pro2 and i can even stream video from my own home using Orb. Edge works perfect but wiify is way better than any band u are into.

Have a nice day guys.:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] loadstone007:
HTC support said to go to Connections (in Connections tab) --> Advanced tab --> select networks --> create an empty profile and use it there

what about using NODATA.CAB??? :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] NeoGreendawg:
If you're talking about Modaco's nodata.cab it didn't work for me....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Pete_S:
That was the method I used to prevent costly dial-up on my previous 2G phone, it works fine.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] georgeono:
what I did so that my Topaz dowsn't connect to 3G: settings - all settings - connections - advanced network - and there: Enable HSDPA only

and this pretty much did the trick. I saw that instead of a 3G icon on the screen, I'd see an icon with an "E".

Please help, i am sorry i've been flooding with questions on this board lately. I have an unfortunate model it seems :(

I can never get a connection using wifi. I think its because it gets Incorrect Wi-Fi Channel Range. But it seems the link available here is for 614c. How do you fix this issue for 612c?

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=hh-61577-1
[Sable] thebranded:
have you tried running the patch on the 612c? it should work, i've not used that one, but have installed all the 614c FW updates and some other patches and they work fine (on a 612c that is) its the same device, just different locations. I have not had an issue with wifi though so have no need to run patch.

btw i think you would have recieved more help if you made a single thread and posted all your problems in there
[Sable] GuestX00823:
Yes i tried using that by forcing it to update on 612c but the installer forbade me saying "This is not for your device" or something of that nature... :confused:
[Sable] GuestX00823:
Something is confusing me even more. It turns out that i can connect easily to other networks (in Cafe's, restaurants) but not in my own home.

Is it because my ISP wants its customers to put DNS values into the router? I'm not very network literate.

Perhaps i should ask this in another forum. God will you send me a messenger to sort this out? (OMG I'm praying out loud again)

Hi all!

I've always liked the colour and design of the original HTC phone pad, so i decided to do a VGA port of the skin for those who are interested. I've done a direct skin port, without any touchup, so it's not a re-design of the original, but really just the original thing.

Without further ado, here is the pics, and details:

Please install to device, and not to storage card. (i dun think it works in storage card).

I've made the english version only. Don't think i'll make the international version unless there's great demand for it.

if anyone is keen on doing skinning for this application, (meaning you design the skin, i port it in for you) please pm me.

Enjoy!

[Update] I've got nothing better to do, so i decided to release another version with the original artwork, but have changed the colour of the original skin to a purple version. so in this new version, purple is t9, light blue is abc, and numbers remain as lime green. =)

Limestone Original Skin Phone Pad VGA (English Only).CAB

Purple version Download here:

i have installed mobile shell v3 on my xperia but when i press the xpannel button my phone gets hanged and the spb pannel is also not there in the list of my pannels?....wht to do plz me its urgent

its also works very slow....

rom version r3a
[XPERIA X1 General] MykeChester:
Is Spb mobile shell 3 a panel???:eek:
[XPERIA X1 General] jinnn_1989:
see i dont know any thing . i am new to this . i have just bought my x1 2days ago....so plz guide me ....i dont know if it is a pannel or a desktop.....how to disable it and use normal pannels?....or any other thing which i can do
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
Spb Mobile Shell 3 is not a panel, nor a today plugin.
[XPERIA X1 General] M.Ozturk:
Install the latest version Spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1 Beta 3 (build 6488) and the problem about hanging when pressing the xbutton is solved. Like the ppl above mentioned, its not a panel so you don't get spb mobile shell 3 in the panel list. It is integrated in the today panel.
[XPERIA X1 General] bartveld:
It's a question of choice: either you use the panels or you use MS. Using both seems like a lot of overkill. I have removed the panels from the device (or rather the autostart-files) and use MS for all my needs.
[XPERIA X1 General] jinnn_1989:
so is ther any way to use both...mobile shell and the pannels , without unistalling any of them
[XPERIA X1 General] kkarnaout:
why is that as what u said u dont have to uninstal anything i have R3A and instaled the SPB MS 3 beta 3!and my phone is working perfectly even better than R2A..there is no problem u may need to check what is going on ether a conflict or u have to hard resat...make sure u back up n it wont take an houre of ur time!

PROPZ
[XPERIA X1 General] jinnn_1989:
i meant to say that without unistalling mobile spb ms 3 i cant use pannels .....so i wanted to use both at without unistalling any one of them

Hi everyone,

I'm a PIMBackup user but i would like to backup and restore only contact and calendar with a command line tool. I don't need a User Interface because i would like to use such tool to restaure automaticly a backup file on my customized ROM.

I would like to integrate this tool in ROM and call it after a hard reset in order to have my whole contacts/rendez vous automaticly restaured without any user interaction.

I can't do this with PIMBackup unfortunately. There is no "silent" restauration feature.

Maybe is there somewhere such existing tool ?

AlnCool
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] alncool:
UP!

Still no answers ... Am i the only one who need that kind of tool ? :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] EgOrus:
As for restauration feture maybe try to copy pim.vol after hard reset?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] alncool:
Yes i though about it but it's not a clean way and can't be reused in another cooked rom..
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] adderz91:
Well i think my Polaris has finally given me the finger.

The touch screen no longer responds to finger/stylus presses. If i press randomly for long enough it does register a click, but never in the right spot or consistently.

What do you think it could be?

Ive tried reloading different roms that have worked perfectly before, hard resets, and ive even tried taking it apart and reconnecting the connectors.

It was dropped a few days ago but it was fine, then one day, while doing nothing in particular it decided to stop responding to touch input, the normal buttons work fine.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phatox:
My XDA Orbit2 (same as Cruise) has the same problem:occasional freezing and touch screen decalibration (needs to be recalibrated every 5 min). problem is that this occurs infrequently. therefore i have lost hope that sending in for repair would work.....
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mario.gaol:
i have a same problem..

my polaris's touch screen sometimes not responding to any touch.

i have to connect it to my computer or battery charger, and then it will work again.

can anybody explain to me why??

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dukelukem:
Hi!

I broke my touchscreen (Tytn2) and replaced it with a touchscreen from ebay for 10 €.

It works, but there are some problems:

1. I have to press very strong onto the screen for a signal!

2. On the edges i have to press very very strong - even stronger then in the middle.

3. the signal itself is on the right position......

4. i have already tried to reset the sensitivity of the touchscreen (and increase/decrease it)

5. i have already aligned the screen several times....

My questions are:

1. is it installed well?? (I had to connect 4 pins on my own.....)

2. if it gets the right signal (but only when I´m pressing very strong), can there be anything wrong with the connectors?

PLEASE HELP ME!

greetings!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] adderz91:
Well i was SO close to just giving up and buying a new phone.

I found however, an entire brand new housing for the low low price of $65 AUS. I could of just bought the digitizer for about $30.

When i look at the devices out there...they arent that great...i was going to get a Nokia E72 but realised i would miss the touch input.

So i will suffer along with my touch cruise, checking these forums for updates on the Android progress :-P

ANd ill have a spiffy new case to boot.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Arkish:
My 02 Orbit 2 touch screen has stopped working also - I found that a temporary solution is to hold the top of the screen tightly over the earpiece

It would register touches, enough to Flash back to Original ROM

It Going back to 02 this weekend.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bb69:
Hi all,

I was under the impression that the diamond2 was supposed to come with the compact qwerty keyboard, but mine lacks that option. I only have full qwerty and phone keypad. I know there are some ports of the compact qwerty keyboards from different models but after doing some searching a lot of them seem unstable and have problems and i can't seem to find one that is supposed to work with the diamond2 (which makes sense since i guess my phone should already have it). I was just wondering if there's any way i can just download a cab file of the keyboard ported from a diamond2 & have it work successfully? Any help would be appreciated.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ratchetjaw:
Bump iam wanting the same cab file for my TP2 that is coming tomorrow
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] paalkr:
Hi!

For some (odd) reason HTC decided to not include the compact qwerty with the TD2:confused:. If you have a look in the documentation (I guess that few people does:D), only the phone keyboard and full qwerty is mentioned.

Anyway, I would suggest to install FingerKeyboard 2.1, it is far superior compared with the HTC EzInput.

Regards,

PK
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] berlinberlin:
actually i heard ppl are saying this is rom specific

WWE roms have included the compact qwerty.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] sjanzen:
Compact QWERTY

You can try this one. It has worked for me no problem. The only thing is, it seems to also add a different full QWERTY than what was shipped, but I haven't really tried to investigate that though as I usually use compact only.

Anyways, hope it helps...credit to Hallengreen (I guess?)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jonnyboy678:
I have a WWE rom on my TD2 and don't have the compact qwerty.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] berlinberlin:
don't know how but someone actually have compact qwerty on their d2
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] harolds:
Phone keypad
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] berlinberlin:
my bad.

do you have this on your d2?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] harolds:
Yes, in Word Mobile I just selected the up arrow at the bottom and selected Phone Keypad instead of full qwerty
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jcan:
AMAZING!!! You made my day, mate... Thx! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] libove:
This is the keyboard I really want:

Where can I get this as a downloadable CAB?

The (otherwise excellent) custom cooked ROM I'm using (Creds to udK!) lacks this keyboard as far as I can tell.

Thanks,

Jay
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] GAR6:
The keyboard you are looking for is the standard WM keyboard. It is listed as "Keyboard" right below the other two options "Phone keypad" and "Full QWERTY" on my TD2. It works but doesn't list the auto completion words like it did in earlier WM editions. I have searched these forums to find a cab file I can install to enable the regular keyboard to list the auto completion words but haven't found anything yet. The search goes on....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] libove:
Actually, I don't have the "Keyboard" keyboard

On my udK (R4, I think) build, the available keyboards do not include "Keyboard". They include only Phone Keypad, Compact QWERTY, and Full QWERTY.

"About" on the keyboard selector shows "Touch Input for Pocket PC, Version 2.1 (Build 1917.2422)".

Is there a registry setting somewhere to unhide the normal "Keyboard" keyboard? .. or is this build simply missing it entirely?

Thanks,

Jay
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bambony:
The ROM must not include this keyboard variant which I believe is standard Windows Mobile.

Tony
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bambony:
I am sure that at least one of the following can enable this:

- adv config

- HD Tweak

- Diamond Tweak

I am not 100% sure the names are correct but they are close. there is an option whereby you can choose the number of words for auto completion and voila!

HTH

Tony
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] libove:
No .CAB to replace the Keyboard software?

Thanks for the pointers. I have Adv Config already; it does not offer anything to enable the standard WM keyboard. (It always shows the keyboard layout as "custom", no matter what).

Diamond Tweak doesn't have anything for this.

Is there not a standard WM keyboard .CAB that I can simply install on my device?

Cheers,

Jay
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] libove:
Found it

Okay, the default keyboard really is in there, though for reasons I don't understand, the keyboard configurator in udK's otherwise truly excellent ROMs hide it quite completely.

To expose it, set these registry entries:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}]

"ShiftLock"=dword:00000000

"KBMode"=dword:00000003

@="Keyboard"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\InprocServer32]

@="msim.dll"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSIPInputMethod]

@="1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\DefaultIcon]

@="msim.dll,0"

And then to actually select it, set:

Key "HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP\Default Im"

to Value "{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}")

The ClsId {42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9} is the default MS Windows Mobile keyboard. The KBMode=3 sets the version of the default keyboard which does not show space, shift, lock, backspace or enter keys, instead requiring swipes to execute any of those, and takes advantage of the extra room freed up to have the full bar of numers and symbols on top, reducing the occurrences of having to shift in to a different mode to get a particular character. Slide-up on any key enters the cap/shift version of that key. I happen to like this variant; the fully default "default" keyboard is found with KBMode=0; a particularly busy keyboard which has everything I like in mode 3, plus still has the space, shift, lock, backspace and enter keys, making everything really small.

What I'd like as a really wonderful add-on to this default keyboard is the very nice trick of the Full QWERTY keyboard of being able to hold down a particular key and get a pop-up of a bunch of alternatives, especially (since I live in Spain) things like holding down 'n' to get the option of ñ, holding down 'c' to get the option of ç, etc.

Anyone know how to pull off that neat trick?

Thanks!

Jay
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] libove:
And how to re-add the default keyboard to the selector?

Oh, one more thing... clearly, the selector of keyboards can be modified, since udK's ROMs modify it to NOT show the default keyboard.

How do I modify the selector (back) so that it again does offer the default keyboard, instead of just Phone, Compact QWERTY, and Full QWERTY?

For another ROM, I saw a reference to a keyboard configuration .mscr file in the \Windows directory, but there is no such file on my Topaz with udK's ROMs.

Thanks,

Jay
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] deechte:
Has anybody had any luck on this subject? I'm using Duttys Leo R4, and it has the Full Qwerty and the Compact Qwerty keyboard, but not the default WM keyboard.

I have tried the reg entries in libove's post. That enabled the standard wm keyboard once, but after switching to compact qwerty keyboard and back to full qwerty keyboard it was gone and wouldn't come back. The registry isn't changed back however.

I would like the wm default keyboard to be available in the keyboard selector. I use it every now and then, when I need special chars like é or CTRL-c etc.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] deechte:
Just for who'd like to know: Resco Keyboard Pro has a keyboard that is almost identical to the standard wm keyboard. After installing it becomes an extra option in the keyboard selector menu. So that's really all you need! You can switch on the fly between Resco(wm)-keyboard, full qwerty, compact qwerty etc.

If you like it just depends on if you like online backup or media backup.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] RavenY2K3:
i Like it but i prefer Funambol, as one its free and to it synchronises my TP with two PCs and my Kaiser. The only thing funambol doesnt do is the files part and text messages, which im finding pretty cool, you should try funambol though, it rocks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bowdowntozoltan:
Right after I posted that I hadn't been invited I realized it was open. I checked 2 days prior and it wasnt. It's kinda cool I guess, though I usually delete my text messages so thats just a waste of space. it took all the basic "pictures" from what came with the ROM, so that was useless, took boring "video" from rom, i wish it had access to the storage card.
