Hi

I have noticed that when using a car charger that worked on my older htc phone it heats up the jade and then it eventualy locks i have to hit the reset button or pull the battery.

has anyone else found this or know of a way round it, I like my old one as it has about a 2m cable whish reaches exactly where i need it to.

has anyone else seen a car charger like this that works with the jade?

cheers

I have a charger from an old O2 phone and it's working fine. I had no problems with car charger so far.
[Touch 3G Accessories] paperclip69:
I looked on the mains charger i had with the device and it says output is 5V, I think the car charger is giving out 12V as I think it's just a straight through usb light socket so i wouldn't imagine it's stepping down that much, only problem is i don't like the chargers with curly cables i want a straight cable or a charger that just has a usb socket on it.

any idea where i could find that?

I have another option of adding another lighter socket on the dash of the car near where the phone is but i don't really like drilling holes in the car if i don't have to!
[Touch 3G Accessories] paperclip69:
ok a quick google and i have found a 4 usb port 5v car charger so fingers crossed that will sort my problem out.

it's quite cool as it has surge and over load protection for each port so if one shorts out the others carry on working.
[Touch 3G Accessories] Cannes:
Hi,

I already bought 2 car charger kits but non of them fit, they all have a mini USB and not the special one the Jade needs.

Can anyone give me a LINK for a proper car charger, cause on eBay they sell all the mini USB crab which obviously doesn't work!

Thanks!

:confused: Whats wrong with the mini usb ones? Thats what I use.

Hi, guys! I've question about a countdown software...

I'm under exams at my college.

I've searched alot, but I wasn't able using various keywords to find a software that does the following things:

If you set a a specific day, and time...it does the countdown the remaining time from now till that moment like XX days, XX hours, XX minutes.

Also an included home screen plugin would be perfect.

So if someone of you could suggest a software with that features...could please tell me the name of it.:rolleyes::rolleyes:;)

Thanks in advance.

You can try these two links, the first one is free and the second not. I am not at home now and cannot install and test it, but if you try them please let us know:)))

Yes, it would be useful in exam periods as it is now.
[HTC Vox] TheBo:
Seems to me, that I alredy tested them months ago.

BTW to be sure, my intention was to try them again now...but one is not available anymore( the developers does not support it anymore, and they are gone for open source) and the other is not available for download. :( :(

Thank you BTW!!

Hi Guys,

How can i remap the softkeys of Rhodium-Manila? I want to change the Sofkey "Phone" on Hometab, because it has exactly the same function as the green telephone key, so it's a real waste...
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
You can use HD Tweak to remap these 2 soft keys
[Touch HD General] Xaddict:
Right & left SoftKeys can be changed using CERegedit while synced to PC, or PHM Regedit directly on your phone.

The keys in question can be found here:

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila

I have mapped

HomeLSKPath to \Windows\tasks.exe

with a corresponding link name at

HomeLSKText of Tasks

There are ways to map to other Manila shortcuts like All People.

Once settling on what I wanted, I have made a little cab from this site:

So now everytime I flash, I just run this cab to change the registry so I get my preferred home page links back.

There is a limit to what can be customised.

In Settings, I couldn't find a way to change LSK All Settings from connection settup to actual settings. Dutty did it in one of his ROMs.
[Touch HD General] PelloG:
thnx guys...that works
[Touch HD General] Choop:
thats it, cool !! thanx a lot. I switched the left homekey on my TP2 in Bxsteez ROM from phone to all contacts. Much better :-) Who needs a "Phone soft button" ??
[Touch HD General] pbeutler:
Hi Xaddict,

Great stuff, I want to change the LSK to DeviceLock. Changing the text was obviously no problem, but do you perhaps know the path?

I tried what I got from total commander as path: \windows\VJDeviceLock.exe, but that doesnt really work..

Thanks,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Darren8448:
can anybody recommend a makro app for competing a sequence of button clicks???

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] H3x:
I feel quite justified in saying this: HUH?

Could you eleborate a bit more? I suppose with "makro" you mean "big"? And "competing a sequence of button clicks" is referring to some kind of memory game?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tweedie:
I think he means "macro".

Don't know of anything off hand, but there is mortscript you might be able to use (http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view) which does something similar but don't think it has any gui interface for it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Darren8448:
yes i did mean macro.

A macro on a pc completes a series of button clicks with just a single press. Normally it gives you up to 20secs to complete your progress.

Basically what im trying to achieve for example is by clicking on an activesync icon on my today screen. Instead of opening activesync it would automatucally open activesync and select 'connect to bluetooth' and any other options necessary.

thanks for taking time to answer. will look into mortscripts but looks a little tricky.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Martinhdk:
did you find any way to record?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Darren8448:
Not yet not sure if mortscript can do it as its all DOS coding basically. Relys on activating .exe or .bat files etc.. so in app commands probably unachievable.

Ill keep looking into it though....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kraize:
You could combine mortscript with a key capture program (if you can find one for ppc).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Darren8448:
I have to say Mortscript is great and can achieve most things but isnt very easy, plenty of research needed.

I have however achieved my goal, one click on an icon from today screen and my device will bluetooth sync to pc :)

Code is below if anyone interested

Run("\Windows\Start Menu\programs\ActiveSync.lnk")

Sleep (800)

SendRightSoft()

SendUp()

SendCR()

Sleep(7500)

Minimize "ActivSync"

I have both the Touch HD and the Touch Pro 2

Yesterday I compared the cameras of each phone, unfortunately the Touch HD camera shoots better and sharper pictures.

All settings were on AUTO on both phones, however I can clearly say that the the screen of TP2 is much more clear and brighter than the HD.

When you compare the pics on the phones, the Touch pro 2 pictures look much better, when you compare these two photos on the scrren of your computer, you can see that the HD camera shoots better pictures because of the 5MP advantage.

Here is the results, the results are pretty obvious ....... unfortunately.

The picture taken with TOUCH PRO 2

The Picture taken with Touch HD
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pepeto2001:
have you tried other setting in pro2?, the difference is too big... In fact, pro2 camera seems to be from a phone 3-4 years ago....

Quality: super-fine

More Sharpness?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doublecheese:
Here are 3 more pictures, the first two are fom Touch pro 2 and the last one obviously Touch HD .

Now , Both cameras are at SUPER FINE - WIDE SCREEN all other settings are AUTO on both cameras.

HD : at 5MP

TP 2 : at 3MP

(these values are the highest possible)

TOUCH PRO2

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vasra:
HD is using much more of noise suppression and much less of artificial sharpening.

In fact, the default TP2 sharpening setting produces horribly over-sharpened photos. One should definitely dial it down a notch or two.

With all that said, HD does produce better images.

Then again, it is more of a multimedia phone, whereas the TP2 is a business phone.

Whether we like it or not, that's how the suits in marketing differentiate the products and segment us as consumers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gingerprince:
Looks to me like the TP2 is either receiving less light (aperture size), or is simply not as capable in low light conditions. It would be interesting to see a comparison in outdoor daylit conditions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doublecheese:
Look at the first two pictures :)

I will take some more pics when I have the time....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xmoo:
You on the original camera app of the touch hd or a updated one?

Cause if ur using updated one than this is cause by bad lens (3mp)

Cause i'm using the Topaz version 5mp and it makes good pix, and when I used the rhodium one (with the 5mp hack) it still made good pictures.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gingerprince:
I'd assumed they were indoors, given the wallpaper and lights in the background :P

If they are outdoors, and your shirt is in sunlight then that really is woeful compression!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] makbil:
I was there when the test photos were taken so I can say that the HD had Duty's XT 3.7 which is the same camera sw version as stock TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xmoo:
Jup ur correct.

So this means it is a hardware issue then.....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pepeto2001:
Maybe it's time for me to leave htc and check other options like xperia x2....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] karlpj:
comparing

I have used both cameras and in my opinion:

•	HD: definitively better camera than TP2 but also definitively less fun. It is extremely slow taking photos and you really need to convince the people to stay still for ever. For any other light that is not exteriors you should forget using it as it is nearly useless. The camera switches to a low light setting making it slow and blurry.

•	TP2: it can not compete with the quality of the HD in exteriors as the photos of the HD are excellent. In low light or interiors is a winner as it takes good pics even in low light. I have taken pics even in a dark pub. You must change the setting of the camera in options as the sharp is too high and produces artefacts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] terryd1980:
What's the 5mp hack?, sorry if this is a stupid question but I cant find any references to it anywhere?, does it improve the camera at all or is it just a bigger picture with even worse quality images?

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] karlpj:
super wide screen or panoramic format

One thing that I recomend is to remove the super wide screen format that by default uses the phone. It simply cuts the pic to do it narrower resulting a smaller pic. If you remove it in the setting section you get a pix with 2048X1536, that means 3.15 MP. Also change sharp effect from 3 to at least 2. It is amazing the detail that capture in country side pics. If you prefer softer pics you always can reduce further.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lyian:
your kidding.... just because of the Camera? Camera isnt the primary function of a smart phone, hell its not even the secondary function.. and your going to judge an entire phone just based of how good of a picture it takes?

I could care less myself.. I have a 10mp canon if i want to snap pics. Reguardless, all the benifits of the TP2 outweigh the ones for the HD.. plus, i currently have a 3125.. which has a 1mp camera in it.. So any upgrade is an upgrade for me. lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xmoo:
No the rhodium camm app uses 3mp on the touch hd. With the hack you can use 5mp using the rhodium camm app. Dutty made it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pepeto2001:
Yes, I'm not going to upgrade my kaiser to a phone with a WORSE camera, I'll wait to another one...

And I also have a canon digital reflex with prime lens, a lot of years making photos... And the fact is that if they CAN put a MUCH better camera, I'm not going to allow so bad one!.

I'm really disappointed because I wanted to buy this phone, but there are a lot of trips WITHOUT my reflex... I want a good camera (kaiser one is fine)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] terryd1980:
Ahh fair enough, thanks for clearing that up ;)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
sorry if i am wrong but are we missing the obvious here? tp2 - 3.15 mpx and touch hd - 5mpx. touch hd photos should win hands down. like i said the only time one can tell the differences is wen the pics are blown up like in the shots before. maybe post some smaller 6x10 photos or something. when looking at pics on both devices one can't tell the difference. actually look better on tp2 due to higher screen res. also think that really can't compare the 2 phones as diferent form factor and some obvious differences. also tp2 is businnes phone where touch hd is multemedia. thats my opinion so if anyone disagree thats cool:cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] babak:
what about videos? why nobody says any thing about video capture ? i like realy this touch pro2 but don't like see another device after a few month that has a much bettere cam :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doublecheese:
The video camera of the HD sucks, you can not shoot moving objects easily as there is too many frames are disappeared. I didn't shoot any videos on the TP2 yet ......

When I have the time, I'll shoot a video on both phones too :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pgamble:
I have to say ... the video for me is far more important than stills quality. It lets you capture situations in detail - like car accident evidence etc ... but it also gives you very credible near Hi-8 (showing my age) quality footage of just about any situation.

The big irritation I had since the N95 and E90 I had (temporarily) was the lack of VGA video recording on WM devices.

I think the stills are ok on the TP2 - much better than the TyTNII ... but the video recording leaves it leagues ahead of the HD - QVGA is not only horribly small (VGA looks good on 40" LCD) but is also slow and badly pixelated.

Paul.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pepeto2001:
Video quality is fine for me in TP2.. but... are you serious about Image quality to be better than TyTNII???

Here I post some photos i've just made (with my TyTN II)... check them to see if you keep thinking the image quality of the tp2 is better than Kaiser....

Do you really think that photos are worse than TP2 ones????, if everyone thinks the same way as you, maybe I should change my mind...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
i will agree with you on this one! i also have a tytn 2 and tp2 shots are better. really don't see the big deal re camera to be honest as the device outperforms both da HD and tytn 2!

Touch Pro 2 vs. Touch HD Video Comparision

OK, guys as promised here are the VIDEO comparision .

NOW, both HD and TP2 has factory default settings. I did not change any settings at all.

I can see that TP2 is clearly the champion this time.

Here are the videos, I was going to post them in their original .mp4 format but somehow this forum did not accept my .zip files.

So see them on Youtube instead.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doctajay:
i agree. video quality is like night and day.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] babak:
thank you doublecheese :) now i have tp2 too :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orbitalen:
Yep, the TP2's quality is far better, unfortunately the 15fps of the TP2 makes it stream a bit worse (jump some frames) than the HD with it's 30 fps... Why couldn't they make it 30fps!? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doublecheese:
What I don't understand is, why don't they just install a 5MP camera with 30fps video rec. Why keep the camera 3.2MP ? I don't know.

They did it with HD already , why not in a phone which is supposed to be better than HD ? I think by some small tricks they are forcing us to buy the Touch Pro 3 .

So far I had some many phones, I was a serious Sony Ericsson P series follower : P800, P900i, P910i, P990i, P1i then to HTC TP, HTC HD, HTC TP2 and until now I still can't say that , OK THAT'S IT , Finally I have the phone that has all the specs I needed !!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tweaker:
my hd doesn't take photos like yours doublecheese. pixelation and bad coloring everywhere. the blacks are green too. :(

EDIT: NVM. Adjusted some settings, and it now looks beautiful.

Video camera quality is garbage though. i have to decrease the brightness to get some decent framerates.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
As I installed rosie over the weekend I needed to put an ext2 partition on my card so used Gparted from a USB Stick. This got me thinking. I have seen people post in threads so often that they cant do ceratin mods at the moment as they are at work and dont have ADB. So I wondered if it were possible to have a usb booting version on Linux with the SDK installed and ADB setup that people could take anywhere with them and use on any available PC.

I have no idea how this would be implemented, just putting it out there for the more skilled amongst us.
[G1 Android Development] sonikamd:
I've been doing this using a "puppy linux live usb". I'm still fairly new to linux but shell and gparted work great. The whole linux is only ~100mb and doesn't modify the pc it's used on at all(tho you must be able to boot from usb). Good for those of us still learning linux. Don't know if this is what you were talking about exactly but hope it helps.
[G1 Android Development] dakiro:
Puppy

Yup, Puppy is a cute and elegant solution - works out of the box!

Great thing. Works out of a usb no problem - just have to have a boot loader on the stick. Can recommend grub (easiest) or syslinux (can install on the usb out of xp)
[G1 Android Development] soulassasin101:
yeah i have a 4gig running linux mint, including recognition for the phone when connected through usb, and full development platform, with working sdk... very handy when at work etc,
[G1 Android Development] soulassasin101:
i was considering selling them on ebay but didnt think people would be intrested in such a thing
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Would you be able to provide an image that others could use?
[G1 Android Development] soulassasin101:
dunno mate its got a 3gig casper file so i can save to it and have plenty of room for saving what i need. if its possible to make an image of the whole thing then im sure i can upload it to a torrent site or something
[G1 Android Development] CBowley:
This is actually a pretty good idea. Have eclipse, adb, everything and turn it into an .iso that would be sweet. Then Haykuro could work at school ;) haha jk.
[G1 Android Development] soloxp:
Hey why don't you guys use VirtualBox. It's free and it runs in windows. I use it all the time.
[G1 Android Development] ear0wax:
wouldnt that violate terms and conditions of the sdk and whatever distro you use? legally all you would be able to charge for would be the cost of the flash drive, or Google might hunt you down. lol :D
[G1 Android Development] soulassasin101:
yeah it is illegal to sell the software... id be selling my time, it did take two hours to set up and it would only be for the udb stick and my time, as i said im happy to contribute and upload if possible for free
[G1 Android Development] jzerocsk:
Usually linux distros are re-distributable, but check the license.

The Android SDK license, OTOH, specifically prohibits you to "distribute any software or device incorporating a part of the SDK" regardless of whether you charge for it or not. That is, just charging for your time/materials would still go against the SDK license if the SDK was packaged in some sort of distribution.
[G1 Android Development] Rafase282:
I'll try to do this either with or without the sdk and if that is the case then add a tutorial on how to add it yourself so we don't break the laws ;)

My first question is what linux distro would you like? I normally would use Ubuntu.
[G1 Android Development] pistol4413:
courious about linux.

I would be interested to learn how considering my noob status........ I figure it would make modding my g1 a whole lot easir. Pm me or jus post to this thread. And I will use witch ever people think is the best because I have never used it.
[G1 Android Development] Rafase282:
I started with Ubuntu 9.04 since puppy can be installed on a usb from the live cd and should be faster and a matter of just installing the sdk and eclipse.

I have in mind to install gparted, eclipse, irc, and other programs. Any suggestion or help? let me know.
[G1 Android Development] Rafase282:
Okay first attepmt failed. Ubuntu didnt start the X, I may try to do it manually this time instead.
[G1 Android Development] Rafase282:
Okay I already have the Ubuntu 9.04 updated and with some softwared installed like banshee, lastfm, currently setting up and installing the sdk. But for this part is where I need help since I didnt use the emulator or anythign but the adb commnds.
[G1 Android Development] malaeus:
you can do it with a 4-8GB USB2.0 and SLAX linux distro http://www.slax.org/

you can add modules, including gparted, then just copy your files to the USB
[G1 Android Development] Rafase282:
I tried with this one but I can never get on internet wireless, I just dont know how to. For me is easier using gnome but kde I never get used to and for me configuration is just harder on it but i'll try.
[G1 Android Development] malaeus:
ah, i dont normally use the net when i use slax. its mainly for fixing my phone, and ill have all my files needed on the stick. including my past nandroid backups.

also, i gotta find that thread, but i read a rumour of one of the dev's working on a way to reflash your nandroid backups from the recovery screen on the g1, which would be nice. kinda off topic, nice nontheless.
