I'm developing a new program with HTC Diamond called "Where is...", and i look that if you open and close and re-open the port it dont work.

Open port after 1 second of start of program and maintain opened during the application work and read all data every 1 second or more or use the Event DataReceived.

Close port when FormClosing.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] commanderkeen:
Thanks for reply, here is my code:

[...]
SerialPort spGps;
spGps = new SerialPort("COM4", 4800, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);
spGps.ReceivedBytesThreshold = 16;

SerialDataReceivedEventHandler handler;
handler = new SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(spGps_DataReceived);
spGps.DataReceived += handler;
spGps.Open();
[...]

And spGps_DataReceived function is never called with my HTC Diamond whereas it works with another Pocket PC with embedded GPS...

Any idea???

Thanks for the help :)

Up!

I've also tried to set RTS (Request To Send) and DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signals but with no results...

Damn GPS :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] commanderkeen:
Well I'm quite surprised: When I try to ReadLine() on the port, I receive a NMEA trame! I don't really understand the mecanism... Are the data buffered or generated on demand? Because in a case of buffered data, why my handle doesn't work, and how to know the 'date' of a trame... ?

Any way I can run the FM radio and listen to it on my Bluetooth handsfree (w. A2DP support)?

Thx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ChriX84:
The cabled headset is used as antenna. I guess if you force the radio to play (by software, if any possible) you'll get static noise over bluetooth.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] monx®:
There is BTFM.exe in \Windows dir but I didnt test it yet & not sure what it does. Maybe somebody can test it. BTW if u cant find it, just extract my link & run on ur device :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
BTFM launches the FM Radio, but like ChriX84 said there is no signal due to missing antenna.

oh well :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:
I have been searching and searching for the perfect Programs Tab solution for my HD running the Rhodium Manila on Dutty's 3.9 XT Turbo ROM. It's taken me a few days of searching but I finally found it.

Believe it or not, it's not custom, it's not special, its 100% stock made by HTC and it was just waiting for someone to find it!! What could be better than a Programs Tab designed by the same company that designed the interface itself?!?

This is the picture right here that gave me the idea to try this: http://www.tmonews.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/picture1.jpg The US T-Mobile Rhodium is going to have a Programs Tab instead of that corny Start Menu. When I saw this image, I immediately tried the Start Menu/Programs Tab Manila file from the T-Mobile US Rhodium Manila. JACKPOT!!

This cab I threw together fixes the 3 common bugs when you try to enable the Programs Tab and disable the Manila Start Menu.

1. Programs Tab soft-keys stick to all tabs. -FIXED!!

2. When click "All Programs" there is no "Back" soft-key. -FIXED!!

3. When click on program on programs tab, Start menu also pops up. -FIXED!!

This cab will disable the Manila Start Menu, and enable the Programs Tab.

Here's a few screenshots(resized for the sake of everyone):

You can download the cab attached below.

Installation Instructions:

1. Disable TouchFlo 3D from Today Settings

2. Copy cab file to device anywhere

3. Install cab file to MAIN MEMORY

4. Soft-reset

5. Re-enable TouchFlo 3D

6. ENJOY!!

NOTES::

1. To Clear the Programs Tab of HTC or your chef's pre-set applications, install my "DHarvey Clear Programs Tab.cab" (This cannot be reversed by un-installing)

2. To get the Green Highlight on the Start Menu, install my "DHarvey Green Start Menu Highlight.cab" (This CAN be reversed by un-installing)

3. My "DHarvey HTC Programs Tab Fix.cab" CAN be un-installed if you decide you prefer the Start Menu instead.

4. My "DHarvey HTC Program Icons.cab" should only be installed if you do not already have them. It CAN be un-installed if you decide you do not like them or no longer want them.

5. Seems to only work on TF3D Version 2.1.xxxxxxxxxxx

6. May make programs tab look very small after installed - see post number 12 for a screenshot of this. I do not experience this issue if you look at my screenshots above. I believe this is due to TF3D being Version 2.0.xxxxxxxxxxx

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gfandrea:
Can you share the icons of the program tab? i cant find them anywhere...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dmitry N:
I see that this cab only modifies 3 registry values. This works for Manila 2.0, but I doubt that this will work for 2.1. Am I correct?

UPDATE: Weird... It DOES work on Manila 2.1 (running Topix 2.3.1.)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] remko:
hmm.. ran into in issue, but I guess it has to do with one of the other apps I've got installed.

The problem is that the icons and text in the program tab are smaller in size. The position of the program names seems a bit of as well. I don't know where in the registry the size of the icons is, therefore I am not sure about which app causes this. My guess is that it is caused by the "HTC Small Menu"...

The strange thing is that when I uninstall this cab again, the Manilla "Start Menu" displays the correct size.

Anyone else having this behaviour?

EDIT: just did a hard reset and did nothing but installing your cab and I have the "problem" that the icons are too small. It is linked to the one manilla file, but that's as far as I get...;)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] karan999:
can we have this for qvga devices also???

it would be great if anyone takes the innitiative to do this :) :) :)

just an advice. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:
A Stock ROM already has a Programs Tab so chances are this will not work without the newer Manila.

You can find the qtc files in the OEMDrivers of the Topaz. If they're not posted before I get out of work today, I'll upload a cab.

T-Mobile Rhodium Manila IS 2.1 ;)

Can't say icon size is really a problem for me. Must be the version of Manila you installed it on as all the custom Programs Tab mods had the opposite effect for me. They made the icons on the Programs Tab huge and cut off parts of the tab off the edges of the screen.

Did you even read the thread title? This is for WVGA and only WVGA. It might get ported to VGA later but I highly doubt that it will ever make it to QVGA since you don't even have the interface to begin with.

Using Dutty 3.7 and MaxTTM 3.5, programs tab works but the start menu no longer appears :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:
Thats the idea. The whole point of this cab is to enable the Programs Tab and disable the Manila Start Menu.

Also, soft-resetting after installing the cab is a good idea.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
I mean the start menu does nothing now, I don't get the HTC start menu or windows mobile menu. The start button doesn't even highlight.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:
It may very well do exactly what you say but what I posted is 100% official. No modified files what-so-ever. All it is is 3 registry changes and 1 OFFICIAL file. This makes for the cleanest possible bug free experience that I have found and tried on my HD since I got it.

Of course, totally agree, and it's great that you have shared that with the rest of us, I'm sure lots of peeps are very grateful to you for posting your cabs.

Hi,

I've gone through multiple threads with differing elements of 3 & 4 column "Start Menu" / "Programs Tab" / "All Programs" tweaks etc... but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

Is it possible to have the following set-up?

Start Menu - "New" style vertically scrolling program icons (3 columns).

Program Tab - Normal style vertically scrolling program icons (3 columns), same as above, but with a completely different set of program links?!?!

All Programs - Normal alphabetical list. No change required.

The main point here being the capability of having a different list of programs on Start Button and Tab?

I'm on Dutty 3.9, Touch HD (Blackstone)

Hi folks,

Can anyone help me?

I was using BSB 6.5L WM6.5 on my Diamond and i had some problems with that.

Mainly, my Diamond was "hard reseting" the manufactures settings everytime i turned it on.

So i decided to downgrade it to WM 6.1

At this point i started to have serious issues.

I installed Rom 1.93xx and just after the uptade, my Diamond froze in the first black screen (Touch Diamond and radio/Rom version).

Even if i do the hard reset, it freezes again in the boot screen.?

So, how could i go back to the Rom i was using before or install another one?

My Diamond is useless now... :( Hope someone can help me.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] technote:
should've used search, this is also a wrong forum for this topic.

with that said, power off the phone, press and hold power, volume down and reset until you see the tri-colour bootloader screen, connect the phone to your PC, you should be able to flash at this point.

do report back.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] incredulous:
What technote said is incorrect, doing that will just cause it to try and read from the Internal Storage, what you want to do is what I did when I had the exact same problem;

With the phone on the frozen screen - make sure the USB cable is DISconnected, open ActiveSync/WMDC on the PC and in connection settings, disable USB connections. Now press the red reset button on the phone and as the phone is turning on (before it vibrates - 'touch Diamond' splash), you need to press Volume Down once, don't hold it. Just press it once. Now plug the USB cable in when the tri color screen appears, and Serial should be written near the bottom. Renable USB connections in ActiveSync/WMDC and then flash a ROM. All should work. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Japex:
Thanks...

It worked flawlessly....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MTLer:
When i do this, it still keeps going to the splash. I reset, press vol down, and it continues to go to the splash. If i do it the other mentioned way, power, reset, vol down i get to the tri colour screen.

Please gimme your thoughts on this...

http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n97-review-363.php

I don't want n97 to out do the x1...
[XPERIA X1 General] ratchetnclank:
Should be in off topic section this has nothing to do with XPERIA.

It will most likely outsell the xperia anyway because it's a nokia, any nokia phone sells like hot cakes.

rachet and clank? you into PS3 dude? (way off topic i know, but just had to ask )
[XPERIA X1 General] stormlv:
Worse screen, processor, memory available, and most of all...it's still using Symbian OS...HOW can it out do an X1? :P
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Those are some good points, but...to answer your question:

Samsung Omnia HD defeats Xperia in terms of hardware specs.

Omnia HD has 3D accelerated processor that is about 600 Megahertz

and it has same amount of RAM as Xperia X1.

The Omnia HD is actually superior to Nokia N97 in every single way except for these 2:

1) Tilt screen

2) No multitouch

3) Speakers are only 80% as loud as the N97

But to be less biased, and truthful ... the symbian OS does not need as much processor power as Windows OS, and the speed of the devices are pretty much very similar. I believe that if N97 had the same processor POWER not speed, than the N97 would be a really really really fast device, like the iphone or as some reviewers have stated on youtube: like the Samsung Omnia HD. N97 is not super fast from what I've seen and heard from Noah @ phonedog.youtube but I know that Xperia X1 isn't actually super fast either.

But on another note, I am so tired of symbian reviewers praising the Symbian OS... sometimes I think reviewers and forumers praise the damn OS simply because of the N-Series line of phone:

1) Before 2009, N-Series were the first to have phones with the best fidelity in stereo speakers,

2) And they used to have the best camera quality as well

3) Without these two, the OS will stand out to be not much better than Windows Molebowl 6.1
[XPERIA X1 General] spine6:
For symbian, if you could just customize it it can compete with other OS. Imagine using a hardware that doesn't need a big processor and ram but can level out some big hardwares..
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
It's an "IF" issue.....

However, I just read the Engadget review of N97,

and comparing it to the hype&hopes,

it's a FLOP....

IMO of course.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
N97 is a failure.....
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
it is sort of a flop....i know a professionaly reviewer at youtube who specializes in Symbian phones and he isn't so hyped up on the N97 anymore. When he reviewed the Samsung Omnia HD, he really liked it except for the lack of multitouch and hardware keyboard.

it's a flop relative to the hype...

but I believe it will not flop in terms of sales.
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
You may be right, because I always say,

sales is not a simple consequence of quality.

It's a Nokia - a brand with high trust.
[XPERIA X1 General] frozenwaffles:
lol you mean x1 is a failure!
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:

I don't. Please check the facts and come back to apologize for being wrong.

2nd option - you are trolling:

Unsuccessful troll is unsuccessfull...
[XPERIA X1 General] thelucius:
The main problem of N97 is that it just came too late. There was so much hype about it. But nowadays, all his features are not so inovative at least. Camera, screen, cpu, desing ... we've all seen it already, even lots of phones have better display, better camera, faster cpu, better features. Even the customizable home screen, well you can do such things with Samsung's TouchWiz 2.0 for example. Maybe not exactly the same, but more or less. There isn't anything innovative in this phone. If it was on the market 6 months ago, or even more than 6, maybe it will be better, but I can't see it competing with Omnia HD for example, for multimedia, and with TP2 for business. Not that the phone is bad, it's a good phone, but it should be the best phone Nokia have, and it can hardly compete with any rival currently on the market (the top series phones).
